*hugs Erik* Ya know, you think I'd have learned by now, not to give him hugs, but I just can't resist when he looks so sad... *cries*

ik... phans don't seem to be daunted by the fact that Erik can lash his lasso around our necks quicker than lightning... we hug him anyway.

Very true. He needs to learn that hugs are good things though, I think that's why we insist on torturing him in this way ^-^

ah! A splendid idea! *latches onto Erik*

I was fortunate enough to visit the Opera today (actually, that was my second time going, since I've gotten to Paris), and attempted to find him, but this proved to be, unfortunately, unsuccessful. I could have sworn I heard someone singing though. His ghost perhaps? How ironic...

did you get to peek into box five? did you ask about the cellars? i'm curious... i wonder if they get that a lot?

I did actually. Inside and out. Our guide showed it to us when we went into the auditorium, and then, since it was one of the boxes that was open, I went inside and took a peek I was the only one who knew it was his box, which surprised me a little, but, apparently, I was the only one familiar with the original story And I asked about the cellars too, but we weren't allowed to go down (sadly; you need a special permit to get down there). They've turned the topmost cellar into a temporary exhibition of sorts, so that was pretty neat to see. And I asked my guide, and (not surprisingly) they do get a lot of people asking those sorts of things, since A LOT of the people who go to the Opéra are phans, looking for traces... It was really neat to see though. I'm glad I did

I honestly have NO IDEA. I looked into it, but I couldn't find anything on said permit It was really cool, I loved it. And if you get the chance, go. That's all I have to say, it's incredibly gorgeous. Although the left side ramps have fallen into disrepair, which made me very sad to see, but they are woking on restoring them, so I was happy about that XD I was supposed to go see a performance there as well, (tickets are CHEAP, let me tell you. WAAAAAAAAAAY cheaper than at the Opéra Bastille) but, I found out that the last performance there was the day before July 14th, which is a national holiday here, Jour de Bastille. I thought the season ended the 3rd week of July, but, sadly no. It was the second :'( Oh well, if I ever come back, I'll be going there

It is actually For most of the seats, it's less than 60 euro, but I no idea what that translates to in Canadian/American dollars The only seats that are more than that are, ironically, on the Grand Tier. I was gonna try and convince my aunt to get seats in box 5, but since the season's over, we couldn't I noticed something today when I was looking through my pictures. They have little boards that they slide over a sign above the boxes that says if it's taken... Erik's still says "occupé" (occupied) I thought that was pretty cool

Ooh! This is wonderfully done! I love the background. The drawn picture and real background go well together. :3
On a different note: DX But it seems like everyone but me can use photoshop. Such are the woes of a traditonal artist...

thanks! i thought it did as well. he he
well i just started photoshop this week and unless i'm lucky i won't get to use it again untill i can get a cheap version of it... or maybe i'll save up my money. i still love traditional art. it's easier in my opinion.

Ah yes, this is true. You don't have to select the opacity of the background and add dozens of layers and such things. X.x

DarthxErik In reply to WhitewolfSpirit [2008-07-10 19:12:00 +0000 UTC]

yah, that's true. layers are fun but some things are quite confusing that would otherwise be simple on paint...

I would try to name other stuff, but I'm not experienced enough in photoshop too name them...DX And besides, I couldn't digital that well because I don't have a good enough photoshop, nor a tablet.
