DAVE MALLOY FANS:

Are you a dave malloy fan? do you like surveys? well if they answer was yes to EITHER of those questions DO MY SURVEY RIGHT NOW

Even if you only know like two of his shows please do it all data is good data. Once I get enough responses I will make a post going through the results.

as a huge fan of nautical stuff and theatre we should agree to make more productions that take place on boats. because the possibilities are ENDLESS. above are images from Swept Away: A New Musical composed by the Avett Brothers and set designed by Rachel Hauck. apparently the entire ship ROCKS, at least from what I could tell from the clips available. actually breathtaking. more examples under the cut!

Dolokhov:

A crazy good shot

he’s a soldier, he’s referred to as ‘dolokhov the assassin’ cause he killed the shah’s brother

Moby Dick:

it's a fucking whale also a portent of doom, yes it gets punked (spoilers) but the cycle of vengeance continues and (more spoilers) it kills everyone except for one lucky twink this whale hates you personally and will come to your house just to cause damage

havent posted in a while so i thought i might as well post this wip of a storyboard/animatic, as well as some ishmael design explorations.

i’ve been reading moby dick recently and i fell in love with the overall story, with all its flaws. it can be beautiful at some points but also pretty outright offensive (i guess this is expected from a story published in the 1800s)

anyway. the animatic will go along to the song “loomings” from an audio bootleg of moby dick: a musical reckoning back in 2019. (the sound quality is barebale, i can promise you that.) the song is based on first chapter of the book and the climax of the song is so fucking beautiful!!! hopefully i finish this soon so i can share the song and my love for this story.

iv. Ocean, Moby Dick; a Musical Reckoning, Dave Malloy

imagine being the first ancient person to realize that the ocean and their tears taste the same. imagine realizing that your sorrow and the waves share a taste. i wouldve gone crazy
