Description
A request made by:Ah, this was a fun one to work on... my cousins, Lucia especially, enjoyed watching me put the details in Christine's dress... i left a picture of Christine behind with face beaming as if posing for a picture... Lucia was overjoyed. ^_^
Anyway, there's a segment of Leroux's novel where it mentions Erik and Christine driving by poor, confused Raoul in a carriage... it is described in more detail in Susan Kay's novel...

Oh, MAN, do I love your coloring here!!! It's so *inhales enthusiastically* invigorating! The golds and reds and blacks of the carriage, somehow Erik matches it!
Lolz, you know what? When I saw this, ma brain just randomly put myself in the picture (in your drawing style too! XD) 'Twas so funnay! Canst thou envision the glomping, DarthxErik? Erik's apprehensive expression, magnified to o__O!
Me:
Erik:
*dreamy sigh* I can see it all now...

Self taught now that's impressive. I am a writer and cannot draw to save my life.

I love the amount of detail you put into your work! Your illustrations create a world where these characters are 'living' the story not just standing idly by on the page! Truly wonderful!

Ah no no I got it I can see them, phew! Well I looked at the picture again and realized I loved Eriks face in this one, you can feel the tension, the urgency, so good, must read that part again...

Not my personal favorite, but still-- a pretty interesting read if you're a phan. It sure made me tear up a bit. Hope you enjoy it! (Only beware of a few weird parts!)

precicely why it should be treated as a phanfic (it is one, after all...) I would never consider it canon next to Leroux, although it does add some itty bitty cool bits to Erik's character. Great quotes and cool scenes, but still. Not my favorite.

Adorable!
This may sound kinda weird/random, but Erik's feet look really big compared to Christine's. Of course, he's a guy, and she's a girl... Whatever, this is still uber cute.

DarthxErik In reply to xXCourtney-HaleXx [2009-08-03 15:31:16 +0000 UTC]
thanks!
Actually-- you're right, and it's weird, because sometimes I draw girls' feet real big, but only when they're wearing boots, tennis shoes or the like. When the girls have bare feet or slippers, they're tiny.
Maybe I should post a sketch I did once of Erik and Christine in bathing suits to illustrate what my characters would look like half-naked and barefoot!

Oh, you should post that! I would like to see what your Erik would look like in a bathing suit.

Oh jeez, that sounds a bit wrong, doesn't it? Haha. You know what I mean though.

I know what you mean. In fact, as I was drawing it, I was hoping it wouldn't appear inappropriate...

The carriage cushions really caught my eye.

yes! kudos to you, you noticed!
When I was redesigning the character of Erik to fit the book's description I decided to give him more pointy features. Everything a bit less round and cuddly and a bit more edgy. hence, the pointy hair, cape, feet, fingers...
