Description I watched the movie for the first time recently and this picture came to me, inspired by the rooftop scene. I borrowed imagery from the movie but I did not hesitate to make some up. I spent so much time on this picture, and learned so much...I really like it, but still critique it please.

I have to dedicate this picture to *PhantomJustice for inspiring me to watch the movie.

Try to guess at who's who (as in what characters are portrayed by each equine) and what the wings' significance might be. Think of the songs in the movie.

I did a little editing on Photoshop. Not much.

Thanks...I never did like any of them much. And the singing in the London cast recording is so much better than in the movie...(I'm obsessive...yes. Just don't get between me and whatever I want...

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH! I just got a closer look, and great job on the teeth! That's always the hardest, especially when they're so small in the pic!

You're right, it is really hard to do teeth. Byt the way, I like your ID. It's really original.

Awww! It's okay! A lot of people thinks Rana was cute. There's not too many though who know about her breed. Norwegian Elkhounds are the nicest of all the dog breeds, and they're still the closest thing to wolves you can get. My girl was a half-and-half! I miss her.

Wow your creativity is amazing--this is truly a beautiful drawing! I would have guessed it was phantom of the opera right away--I LOVE that movie. Anyway..only critique I can think of at all would be to make the white on Christine just a little more shadowed as it sticks out a lot more brightly and distracts your eye. But really this is awesome as it is.

You mean the one playing Christine Daae? I loved the voice of everyone in the movie, and all the ones on the original cast CD I have.

Ya her - I LOVE the original cast CD! I bought it after my phantom-obsessed friend at camp told me that I was loser for having a different edition

This came as an unexpected surprise, I must say. It's a lovely idea, and it did cross my mind (to turn Phantom characters into equines) but I would have used different colors, I guess. I enjoyed seeing this version of them, especially Christine's colors, for it was what surprised me most. I can tell you put a lot of work and love in this, and all I can say is well done I it.

Thank you! I think that you should do your version of the story if you have time. I'd be interested in seeing it.

Hmm...very unique idea ^_^ The horses really seem to match their characters, especially Christine (if that is who she is ^^) The Phantom's wings are really well done and I like the feathers on his hooves. Its sort of scary...I'm listening to the soundtrack right now ^_^; Beautiful piece *favs*

Thank you very much for the fave nd the nice comment--I think that you did identify her correctly--she's the sort of ashy palomino.

The lineart is certainly the best part, and I'm glad you like it. The coloring took me about four hours though. Thanks so much for faving it and everything--I wasn't so sure about it, near the end.

I'm most proud (in terms of the coloring) of Christine, the rocks, and the clouds. And the rose. That's pretty sad.
