Description Classic scene from "The Phantom of the Opera" on stage... always has me in tears...

Anyway... I'll be honest. I'm not very happy with this drawing. The way I drew Erik's eyes and face just bothers me. I think I deviated away from how I usually draw him and it just... bothers me. But I decided to upload it anyway....

Heck, better than what I can do, so fret not. My favourite thing about this is probably that not everything's lit up. The darkness is so deep... Your choices of tableaus always get me remembering; I REALLY wanted to fly over the twenty-something rows in front of me and hug poor Roy Weissensteiner...

West End, I assume? The pilgrimage of all phans...! Who's playing Phantom over there at this time, do you know? Come to think of it, I think the Australian tour finished some time last month...I'm sad now... Well, I got four shows in four months out of it.

the Australian tour is over? what? Well-- did you see Anthony Warlow anyhow? He's one of my favorite singers of all time... -swoon-

YouTube can do no justice for that man. I hope you get Ramin too!

Oh yes, I saw Ant twice! Fantastic, bliddy fantastic. The final time I went I was sitting in the third row and I gave a standing ovation (you wouldn't believe how much a girl in a white dress stands out in the middle of a sea of seated elderly people). The curtain calls for this cast have been really long; the crowd can't get enough of it so I was standing up there for quite a while. And Mr Warlow looked at me, smiled at me, and said, "You can sit down now..." because he had to talk to the audience about a charity week... When I was walking out of the theatre I heard an elderly lady walking in front of me say -coughcomplainingbutican'tblamehercough- , "...this girl screaming..." and I knew I'd made my mark. Best day of my life.

I know... he sounds amazing on youtube, I bet he sounds like a god in real life.

it's great standing out in a crowd of people... back in the day when i was uberly obsessed with phantom to the point of absolute abandonment of integrity, I dressed up in my phantom costume to see the show in saint louis. thank God no one knew me there... I got a few compliments, but mostly stares.

You have a Phantom costume? Aww, that's so cool! I'm glad you got some compliments. Stares have to be expected. Heck, for the last PotO show in Sydney, several members of Anthony Warlow's fan-group dressed up as the Phantom and glitter masks. And they met him at the stage door after the show! I might have been there if I wasn't at Latin Camp at the time. Chance of a lifetime.

My main consolation out of that was that I met a boy wearing a Phantom of the Opera t-shirt at Latin Camp.

Pop down into Sydney after London? Now that Phantom's over, Mr Warlow'll be in 'The Mikado'... Never say never, mate. Not in this world. You've got plenty of time, and he only gets better with age...

Eh...talked to him for about twenty seconds...made a fool of myself...haven't seen him since, duh... T-shirts aren't everything. It was pretty fun for my friends to refer to the Phantom boy as my 'one true love and soulmate' for three days, though.

well, thanks! It's one of those things... I keep telling myself that there's nothing wrong with it, but still there is something... gaw. I should just forget about it. Artists can be very picky with their work, you know.

I just adore your PotO drawings. You always put so much detail into them (monkey music box, Erik's suit, what little we can glimpse of the deformity.) Not to mention the "awwww" factor.

I think Erik's eyes look fine. I wouldn't change them if I were you. The only possible difference I can see is they might be a bit shorter than you normally draw them.

Say, I DO have an observation: if NO ONE in your artistic universe has a nose, why would the absence of one be so traumatic for Erik? (wink)

LOL!

DarthxErik In reply to Mominator [2009-06-09 20:30:35 +0000 UTC]

thank you!

the shortness is probably because when I draw someone really really sad looking, the eyebrows come down lower on the eye. that could be it... I haven't drawn that expression in so long!

It's a bit of a paradox, no? *chuckle*

Mominator In reply to DarthxErik [2009-06-10 08:08:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, I was looking hard, TRYING to find some difference between the eyes in your other pieces and this one, and that was all I could come up with.
