Description Well, this sketch was started nearly a year ago... *chuckle* that tells you how busy I've been! But it's morphed a lot since I sketched it. You see, I scanned it, tweaked it, transformed it... and it became this!!

I was going for realistic fog, an ACCURATE lair gate, good shading on the hair, but most importantly, conquering one of the most challenging tasks with my cartoon style.... having Erik's arm wrapped around Christine's neck!! It's SUPER difficult (or HAS been) to draw that pose, and now I did it! If some features look even a tad bit stretched, PLEASE don't tell me because that's the best "compromise" I could come up with!! XD

Also, I last-minute decided to name this peice "I Can't Breathe" although it was originally going to be simply titled "Intoxication" or "Floating, Falling..." but everyone knows those lyrics. The reason? Not just that, but also that I just discovered this amazing song.... (literally JUST discovered it, at RANDOM on youtube! [why do I keep using CAPS?] it's "should be loved" by Blue October. Call me a recluse, but I'd never even heard of this band before. ) So now the "I Can't breathe when you're around" is the title, because, yeah. Just go listen to the song!!!

Anyway! God bless!

Most definitely the mask and hands, which are what caught my eye (those sharp points you draw on the cheeks of Erik's masks are very distinctive); Erik's hair & ear, and the stance & positioning of Erik and Christine.

You're welcome.

I love watching this scene in the musical, in every production he reaches over Christine and looks like he's about to grab her breast... But then he moves up quickly to the shoulder... Every time it just pisses me off. -.-

SAME HERE! And there's a video currently floating around youtube of Ramin Karimloo and Gina Beck singing this song (well, she's not SINGING but she's acting. ha ha) and their performance definitely set a new spin on this song for me and inspired me to draw this. ^_^ Thanks!!

Oddly enough, one of the most capturing features from this is the little red mark that apperars from beneath his mask...and I agree with chibisied characters being difficult to draw in poses like this (It's still less difficult than trying realistic XD~~) Also, I love their expressions and how Christine's "Eliza" costume peeks from beneath her dress

WOAH, weird... that's exactly what I pointed out to my parents when I showed them this. I was like "LOOK! I even drew the little makeup on his lip, see?" he he.

I thought it was called that since his arm is wrapped so tightly around her neck...

Seriously though I love this - particularly love the ruffles on the dress - and the fog looks really good!
