Do you have an absolute favorite storyboard or concept art from either Sing movies?
I'm so sorry for the delay in response to this!! I love a ton of the concept art actually, so idk if I would be about to pick just one favourite piece, but I do have a favourite storyboard actually!
Here it is:
I absolutely love this one for numerous reasons:
One: Marcus. I adore his and Johnny's relationship and how it's shown here. I also love the aspects of his personality that we gets to see in this (him being punctual, polite, and overall really nice).
Two: Nooshy's essentially getting immediately adopted and becoming part of the family. Hugs = adoption in Sing and no one can change my mind so that was absolutely adorable.
Three: The fact that the gang got turned into Robin Hood in my eyes. Like, they stole from the rich... and are now giving to the poor... they're Robin Hood.
Four: REALISM. This version of them prepping for the show was a ton more realistic, especially after such a rough and public firing. It also reminded me of them setting up the show if Sing 1 which was nice.
Five: RYAN MY BOY! It was already heavily implied that Ryan and the other dancers snuck out to help with the show (hence Klaus not arriving with them and being surprised), but now him also swiping the staffs too?? Perfection. That boy just went “oh well, probably gonna get fired anyway, might as well help Johnny” and I love that for him and it shows so much of his personality. He is so sweet.
Six: More slang. As someone who also uses a ton of British slang in day to day life and calls my friends "love", hearing Marcus use more slang was adorable and super cool. It also means that Johnny probably talks with more slang than we see him do, at least with his family.
I might make a post talking about my favourite concept art if people are interested. I hope you enjoyed this tho! - <3 Gooseless

I wonder, with the possibility of having a sing 3 sequel, I wonder if Ryan would even be in it. If he would be added , I'm curious if they would redesign him to be more unique, in Sing 2 he looked like any other tiger character in the movie, considering he has the same models as the tiger background, and considering that the main cast have unique models that differentiate them from the other background characters that are the same animals as them.
I wonder what would his redesign would look like to make him more unique that removes him from the background but also relates to him as a part of the cast.
What do you think his design would be if he was added?
Thanks so much for the ask! And I'm sorry for the rambling that's about to follow this, I just really love this topic. Hope you enjoy though! - <3 Gooseless
--------------------------------------
Ryan does actually have a unique model! His stripe pattern and eye color is completely unique to him, as well as his build being slightly different. Which is why the tiger we see at the auditions is Ryan in my opinion, as legit every other tiger has the same stripes besides that one (who we actually never see audition so might just be there as a represenative).
We only see two other tigers in the movies (that I could find) and while their stripe patterns aren't the same, they are more similar to each other than Ryan. Ryan has a distinct flame shaped stripe on his left cheek. And while the other two's stripes are similar, that's because bengal tigers do have those type stripes on their cheeks.
See below the facial patterns on an actual bengal tiger:
And then the stripes of the two other tigers we see:
And finally, there's my boy Ryan:
They are distinct from the other stripe patterns we've seen, no longer sickle shaped but flame shaped on the left cheek.
And while it is compressed in the auditions photo. you can see the blobs that would likely look like the other flame branches if he had higher pixelation in this frame (he's tiny and in the background).
And the other two tigers we see, though not in the best pixelation or lighting, seem to have dark colored eyes, while Ryan's are very noticeably green, and likely a shade between olive and sage green judging by how it changes in the various lightings. Even in the auditions, that tiger has a lighter coloured iris.
And as for builds, we'll use a handy dandy chart!
As for the other two, we actually see two different builds for them too. While Ryan is an inverted triangle (mesomorph), which is also Johnny's too for reference, the other tigers do seem to be rectangular in build (to be fair they are in loose clothing and that is my perspective of it but this also would align more with actual tigers too). They also differ from endomorphs and ectomorphs as well.
*Sorry photos aren't the best and from weird angles, they literally are barely on screen lol*
------------------
Ok now on to the redesign. The reason Ryan looks more like a background character despite his unique model is his clothing imo. Whenever we see him, he's either in a uniform (the leotard and leggings), or very plain, nondescript clothing (the costume underclothes and the suit).
So, we can fix this by giving him a new outfit! Which is amazing because otherwise we would have to change the entire model and that would take forever lol.
Almost all the teen/younger characters wear jeans in the movies (the exceptions are the eldest two, Nooshy and Ash) and Ryan does seem to be at least close to Johnny's age so he joins the jean club. Now adding cuffed light wash jeans to his outfit.
Second, Ryan gives off strong perfectionist vibes. You don't become a principal (or at least high up) dancer at a company like the one we see him in as young as he likely is without an ambitious and perfectionist streak a mile wide. So we're gonna go with something that codes that to the audience (aka yes, somewhat stereotypical clothing for that cliche), a dark green sweatshirt over a white button up. This type of aesthetic is also not used by any of the main cast so far and the dark green accent will highlight his eye color, making it stand out more and further giving him a unique look.
And for accessories, which please let's give these kids jewelry, I typically describe Ryan as having two double lobe earrings, with one being a long simple gold one and another that is either a rainbow heart or a gold stud. I also give him a jade and gold necklace (which is tiger shaped in the continuation fic) and have him wear dark green sneakers for more green accents. You can also add in a brown or black belt if you want so he can tuck in the sweatshirt and shirt, but those don't necessarily have to be showing.
--------------------------------------
So, yeah, that's how I would change Ryan's design to make him fit more in with the rest of the main cast! I really hope we do see more of Ryan, though I am not sold on the idea of a third movie, so I'm pretty sure I'd prefer to see him in shorts lol. But I hope you enjoyed all of this chaos of a character design analysis/comparison of sorts, thanks again for the ask!
