Description
-sniffle-I'm always moved by this scene the most i believe. I was compelled to do this now, mostly because I recently realized one more detail of significance to this scene.
We all know that Erik is watching the monkey play "masquerade" as he sings along. One thing I never noticed though, (even though it's almost very obvious) is that he is not only looking at the monkey, but straight at his own mask.
Remember when Meg comes upon the monkey? The mask is sitting right next to it. For some reason, it never clicked for me.
But this last time that I watched the movie, I saw that his eyes gaze upon the little monkey, and then down further as he begins to sing the song. I just got utterly moved once again... and so, consequently, couldn't resist capturing that moment of sadness.
I also feel that the darkness in this picture is very deep. When I look at this picture, it makes me feel the emptiness and loneliness that he is experiencing.
Well, enjoy the sadness of it. My love goes out to poor Erik!

In a couple of the stage versions, the Phantom puts his hand over the monkey's face so it looks like it's wearing a half-mask.

Paper faces on parade. Hide your face so the world will never find you. Poor Erik

Even though I think that the film doesn't really do the musical justice, this is still a very moving scene, and you've drawn it so well! Beautiful job!

I never noticed that!! okay.. I only saw that scene three times and the musical adaption wasn't from ALW so.. yeah... I need to watch it again!
This is so cute. I sooooo love your style, makes me wanan dig out my colored pencils and draw some chibis on my own (not your style, don't worry).. I might just have to do that one day, although I got the slight feeling that it won't even be half as awesome and cool as your drawings.

dude, i think you need to read 's novel "Unseen Genius". There are a few parts in some chapters you may want to skip (i believe in God too, and gotta keep my flesh in check by not reading anything too scandelous) but i think that you would absolutely love it, and it would give you peace about Erik. (it sure did me!)
your drawings are awesome, my dear. rock on!
