Many apologies to anyone who is tired of Mikado fanart!

(When I obsess over something, I go all the way, hehe!)

Again, this is from Essgee Entertainment's production of The Mikado, a Gilbert & Sullivan opretta. Hilarity ensues! I mean, how can you not love David Gould as Mikado, with four huge flags attached to his back. Plus, he does Elvis impressions and moonwalks. Woo!

For this drawing I referenced a pose he does right after saying 'Fwhhhhhoo! Japan!' He is absolutely covered in tassels, and the easily distracted Ko Ko stops groveling to bat playfully at them.

I guess one good thing about all of these fanarts is that I get better at coloring in openCanvas. And at drawing people. Plus, epic event files of DOOM are always fun to watch while listening to Mikado.

Playlist I put together with all the videos in order:

You know, I think I'm just going to favorite every Mikado fanart that goes up. There shouldn't be that much, right?>>
Yay, Ko Ko!

This is a really amazing painting.

I kinda joined the Mikado club on a whim since I am actually a member of a Gilbert and Sullivan troupe, and then I watched the production on Youtube. Excellent stuff.
