Sing 2021 - Blog Posts
I love this, @gianludo!! 😍 🐵 😍 Especially his outfit.
Which program did you draw this with?
Klaus has so many fans on Tumblr 😂
Hey Everybody look Klaus Kickenklober 😉
Tell me If you like that
For @girl-monkey-odalys @phoenix-the-mistfit-fire-bird @poppy1moon and also for you @picapicamagpie take care about Yourself okay
Meena is such a cute character 💗 🐘 💗
I want to see an entire episode that’s about her and Alfonso 🥰 Maybe they could be hanging out with his sweetheart of an orangutan friend 🦧
It’s really weird how I’ve reached a point in my life where I both love and hate the same scene!
What’s to love:
Well, Meena, of course! She had definitely learned to talk about her concerns more since joining the New Moon Troupe! She isn’t comfortable with her first kiss being with someone she doesn’t know (and I sure hope that when Gunter told her about this, he said that she gets to kiss someone). She even opens up to Buster about never having a boyfriend “or any of that stuff”! SHE’S AWARE OF THE LGBQT+ COMMUNITY, PEOPLE! You can’t convince me otherwise!
“HEY, THIS GUY HASN’T GOT THE SHOW FIGURED OUT!”
Very funny comedic timing here! You may as well have just told everybody that Buster lied about the space opera! Technically, no! The show wasn’t a lie, but Clay totally was! I shouldn’t laugh about tattling and grassing up and stuff, but since I’ve been on the receiving end of it for years, I feel like I’ve got a free pass to how relatable I find the whole thing!
What’s to hate:
Well, the confusing editing of this whole scene!
Buster and Meena clearly start off right in front of the dance studio, once they walk away, it appears that they are now further away from the sliding door than when they started!
And here’s the massive elephant in the room… or lack thereof!
Meena slowly walks away just as Mason talks to Buster. You know that their exchange isn’t that long, so Meena couldn’t have gone that far either, right?
Well, then… WHERE IS SHE HERE?!?!?
Like, in a huge-ass crowd wearing nothing but blue, an elephant wearing a pink hoodie should NOT be hard to find right? Gunter is easy to see in this frame, so why shouldn’t Meena?
Now you may be saying, “Well, maybe she’s behind that background base or whatever it’s called!” Perhaps, but that’s beside the point! There’s also a potential agrgument of there being too many character models in frame as well. SO?!? You didn’t need every last worker there! All you had to do was pitch a few of them to make room for Meena!
So, yeah, Unless she has secretly been harboring some magic transportation powers or something, there is NO excuse for her not to be present in this shot, at least turning her head toward Mason and blushing heavily.
OMG @gianludo how do you find these things???!! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for posting this!! 😘😘😘😘🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵❤️❤️❤️❤️
I found a other one!!!
Amazing background art by the incredibly talented @cutekoala1001. I commissioned her to draw The Salty Simiano, which is the restaurant from my Sing fanfic. I could not be happier with how it turned out!!! The colors, the lighting, the decorations, the angles, the way she fit so many features into one shot, just...all-around mind-blowing 🤯
As you all know by now, I am kind of obsessed with the anthro primate characters from the Sing movies. For my Sing universe I made up a Latin American-style cantina that welcomes all animals obviously but panders to primates; it is known as a monkey hangout in Red Shore City. It also features sugar skull-type art, except the skulls are of anthro animals 😂 In the picture, the larger skulls on the wall, window and floor are chimpanzee skulls. In the bar area, the two skulls behind the chairs are a deer and a crocodile, and the one by the menu is a dog. The one in the corner by the enclosed seating area is a koala. The area on the floor covered by the skull is a dance floor.
What I love about this piece is that, like all good art, it tells so many stories. I didn’t really flesh the restaurant out very much in my fic, and seeing it here really helps inspire me to create ideas for it:
• That little enclosed seating area by the tree is very cozy, so I can see it being a popular romantic place for couples. But it’s also large enough to seat more than two, so I can also see it as a meeting place for friends.
• The restaurant has live music from time to time. Most of the bands are local Latino musicians, but since this is Red Shore City, you can also find visiting musician stars performing here from time to time.
• The band plays in front of the Salty Simiano logo. This allows for many photo ops, especially with the dance floor nearby.
• If the band knows that there is a romantic couple sitting somewhere, they will walk over to the couple and serenade them. They will also play music loudly in front of shy-looking patrons seated at the tables, insisting that they go out and dance.
• There’s one band that’s really sassy and heckles the crowd all night, in Spanish and English. The singer will butt into a dance and “steal” the guy’s partner from him and tell the girl that she could do better in terms of mates. He says this into his microphone so that everyone can hear him.
• The art in the restaurant is featured in numerous cultural publications in Red Shore City (magazines, etc.). The restaurant has also published a pamphlet that explains the history and meaning of the sugar skulls. Art students also come here for studies.
• The tree was already on the land before the building was constructed, and the tree was special to the restaurant owners (being monkeys). They didn’t want to cut the tree down, so they just constructed the building around the tree and made a skylight so that natural light could filter into the room. As the tree gets bigger, they will remove the tiles that surround it. They hired a professional landscaper to prune the tree in such a way that it will eventually grow through the roof, and they will renovate the building to accommodate the tree. I know this would never happen irl, but I’m kind of a hippy and would love to see this.
Thanks so much for doing such an amazing job on this, @cutekoala1001!
I have got proboscis monkey on the brain these days!!!! So I’m posting this other Sing 2 oc that I made awhile back.
This is Eloïse Eitzen, Klaus Kickenklober’s seemingly innocent and sophisticated, but in reality unruly and rebellious, younger cousin 😎
Still obsessing over my monkey dance instructor guy 🙈
OMG I am so honored that you did this, I’m crying!!! 🥹💖🥲 Thank you so much for letting me know! Also you did a great job on the edit 🏆 🥇
I can’t wait to read your DeviantArt story when it comes out ✨ 🖊️
@girl-monkey-odalys: I loved the result so much that I decided to recolor it a little bit and edit the pic by adding more beach and sky (with Microsoft PowerPoint and Snipping Tool) and decided to make it my background for my PC (running Windows 11 Home).
The Result (photo) was requested by @singfanglob (me) and original illustration was by @girl-monkey-odalys.
DeviantArt Story based on this concept coming soon!!!!
PS: Yes, I have Bejeweled 2 (2004), Bejeweled Twist (2008), and Peggle Deluxe (2007) because I played these games when I was little and kinda still do to this day.
Can you draw This picture? And make their floated Hawaiian at the beach please?
Reason: Johnny and Big Daddy/Marcus are spending time together as father and son. Bonding time that is.
Here you go!!! 🎁 And sorry it took me like four months to get this to you 😭 😭 😭 😂
Cute pic idea! I love Nooshy and the gorillas so much 🥰😍😘
I love that guy, and this is an amazing picture of him 🤩 🦧 I love how did did his hair and glasses 😂
Your art is incredible. Thanks for the Answer!! 💖
It’s so nice to have you back! Can you draw some Sing primates? Gorillas, chimpanzees, howler monkeys, baboons, orangutans, proboscis monkeys—anything you want!
HEY THANKS! good to be back. Dunno how long it’ll last but I’m making the most of it while I’m here. Anyway the orangutan that works with Alfonso is cute as frick to me
Haven’t drawn my favorite Sing guy in awhile 🙈
OMG these all look amazing, and my OC looks incredible, thank you!! 🥹 I especially love her face fur!! I hope you don't mind that I'm using it as a background now on my account ^_^

gift drawing for @picapicamagpie
hope you all have a good Christmas holiday ! 💖🎄
This incredible pic of my OCs is a gift by @thecraftedmacaque, and when I first saw it, I was at a loss for words. First of all, I cannot believe how cool my fursona Odalys (the capuchin in the middle) looks, especially her face fur and her tail and her monke feet 🤯 And Mortimer the chimpanzee looks like the sassy science nerd that he is, and Breck the gorilla looks like a totally sweet but simultaneously mischievous friend. Their posture is just amazing and totally captures their aesthetic. 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much, @thecraftedmacaque, I love it!!! 😍 🙈
Hello buddy 😁
did you know that illumination finally announced that sing 3 is in development
Yes, and I’m so excited about it! 🤩 🤩 🤩
What do you want to see in the third movie?
Hello, everyone! Sorry, I've been swamped with work and life lately, so I've been a bit absent. So if I haven't been "liking" your content or getting your art requests done, it's just because I haven't been here! I'll catch up soon.
Here is the latest chapter from my fic; it only took me five months to get it done! 🙈
Featuring @picapicamagpie's OC, Cadence, and @thecraftedmacaque's OCs, Lilac and Connor, as background characters. ☺️
***
Summary:
Odalys accidentally blows an opportunity to impress Klaus Kickenklober. In the meantime, Mortimer realizes that he has feelings for her.
Teasers:
“I’m not worried about it,” the arrogant bird answered, “especially because your half of the class will be doing the monkey dance. The monkey dance is easy; all you do is bare your teeth, throw your fists in the air, and jump around.”
Odalys was indignant. “Whatever, Hector, the monkey dance isn’t ‘easy.’ The bird dance is just a bunch of outstretched arms and finger fluttering.”
“I could do the monkey dance with my eyes closed,” the bird said haughtily.
“And I could out-bird you any day!” the monkey retorted.
“There’s no need to get defensive, Odalys,” Hector began, admiring himself in the mirror as he spoke. “Birds are naturally elegant and gifted dancers. They don’t have to try hard like monkeys do.”
***
Mortimer thought of how many times he saw Klaus roast a dancer in front of the class for the tiniest mistakes, and here was Odalys, fully accepting someone exactly the way she was. He felt a surge of jealousy pulse through him and was angered to think that a girl like Odalys would love a pretentious snob like Klaus.
“He’s nothing like her,” Mortimer seethed to himself.
***
Meanwhile, Breck was in the back of the class actively avoiding eye contact with everyone. He was in the middle of a revenge fantasy against Odalys when he suddenly had the uncanny feeling that someone was watching him from behind. He turned around to see Klaus Kickenklober standing near the studio door. He was staring at Breck’s skimpy outfit with a look of utter confusion and disdain. Breck now lamented his choice to stay in the back of the class, as he was likely the first person Klaus saw.

Your OC is so sweet and classy and fun to draw!! 🥰🥰🥰 It’s an honor that you chose my drawing as a pfp, thank you so much 🥹
I can’t wait to see more of your art posted here 😄
Lilac done by the amazing @girl-monkey-odalys. Her style is so expressive! I know the bony structure of Lilac's face can be a challenge to draw. I had to pick the last one as a pfp, it's just too cute 🥰 thanks again for these!
Sooo excited for these primate Sing OCs 😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🙈🙈🙈🙈
Thanks for the Answer!
Your characters are so adorable 🥰 What made you decide on a crested black macaque and a Hanuman langur as your OCs?
Thank you! For Lilac's species, it was the famous "monkey selfie" of a crested black macaque that inspired me. The moment I saw it, I fell in love with this species and began researching it. I was amazed by these monkeys' sensitivity and calm, friendly behaviour. They're now my favourite primates 🐒 As for Connor's, it was a bit more random; I was very undecided at first. One day I was flipping through an illustrated primate guide, saw the Hanuman langur and decided that would be Connor! I was looking for a large species that could fit the "fun-loving & dynamic" type I had in mind for him and I think this one does!
We’re almost in September of 2023, and here I am still obsessing over this “massive weirdo” 🙈 😍🥺😭
Hi can you draw my sing family for me please 🙂
Here you go, and thanks so much for the Ask! ❤️ Your Jash family is adorable and so fun to draw, especially Alicia with her parted porcupine bangs 🤭😍
Back from a camping trip so the monkey faces obsession continues 🙈
I ❤️ the Sing primates so much 🤭😍🙊
And then there’s my silly self-insertion into their world:
In the mood for monkey faces again 🙈
———
Sing monkey doodles 🙈
———
More OC practice 💪🏼
Odalys’ friends, Breck and Mortimer, don’t understand her crush on Klaus 🤨
Yeah, neither do I 🙈
———-
Ok, @popy1moon, you had me talk about my favorite character. Now I have to draw him 😝
Why do I like this pompous jerkbag so much? 🙈 😂 😭 😭 😭
———
If you don't mind me asking what's your fav monkey moment's in both sing movies?
Oh, I don't mind at all! I love any excuse to talk about that! 🙈
Sing:
I think my favorite monkey moments have got to be the Les Calmars scenes. I love how the entire restaurant is run by chimpanzees and how graceful and dignified they look 😝 This guy is one of my favorite background characters:
I named him Jean-Louis 😝
His snootiness cracks me up 🤭
Look at this hilarious picture of him:
This is after Buster and Meena posted that job ad on the window. Look at how angry he looks! Look at that chimpanzee sneer omg 🙈
Sing 2:
Wow, I don't even know where to begin here. Klaus Kickenklober makes for so many monkey moments 🙈 I'll just cop out by saying that every scene with him in it is my favorite monkey moment. Here are some of my favorite pictures of him:
I could keep going, but I’ll stop for your sake 😝
Thanks so much for the Ask! 😉
Time to start practicing my other OCs 😤 💪🏼
