I just recently finished reading the book (and crying at the end) and the part that I remember most, partly because I saw the broadway, was the masquerade, and you brought the book to life. ^^ Good job!
By the way, the hat is amazing.

I am vastly amused by the apparent blending of Leroux's and the recent movie's Red Death costumes.

And you gave Raoul a (Leroux) mustache!

You did a fabulous job of coloring this, though I have to admit I do miss the colored pencil look of your other pieces. It's so uniquely you. Well, that and the "Love is . . ." look to your characters.

You do what YOU like. I'm sure you won't lose many, if any, followers.

DarthxErik In reply to Mominator [2009-02-18 02:33:41 +0000 UTC]

thank you! I'm glad you noticed the mustache. I almost forgot to add it... but then I remembered.

I'm not sure what inspired me on this costume of his-- the only descriptions from the book include a large hat with feathers, a long kingly cape, a death's head, and the embroidered letters on his cloak (which I didn't inlude, because I always envisioned it on his BACK). But yes, his jacket/coat looks very "Gerik", doesn't it?

Hey! Don't worry. I still have a passion for twistables. I'll probably be switching back and forth from now on. ^_^

Been having BIG TIME troubles with our internet connection this month, so if it seems I'm ignoring you, I'm not. (We've had internet service about 9 days so far this month, and NOT 9 days in a row.)

Anyway, I'd always rather assumed it was Erik's REAL face exposed during the masquerade. I seem to recall there were a number of comments regarding how fantastic his "mask" was, and how did it work? I figured Leroux had used the irony on purpose.

Well, I suppose I'd better get this off to you before we lose our internet access YET AGAIN!

DarthxErik In reply to Mominator [2009-02-27 19:25:55 +0000 UTC]

oh that stinks.

Anywho-- yes, at first I thought it would be a nice idea... but then again, Christine tells Raoul to try to imagine the "death's head" come ALIVE. So apparently, Erik wasn't unmasked... it was a lifeless mask (that ironically is not as terrible as his actual face!), like in the silent film. at least that's what i infer from it.

Oh, may I ask which version of photoshop you have? I've been meaning to get one that can color my drawings! ^^

DarthxErik In reply to anakalivas [2009-02-18 02:28:42 +0000 UTC]

thank you muchly!

I got CS4. It's the latest, I believe, in photoshop tech. This one may be the most expensive, though. I believe that CS2 or CS3 is just about as good. You may also want to try photoshop Elements... it has all the good stuff, and is less than 100 dollars I believe.

^_^ Gosh, thanks! I may not have included the "Don't touch me!..." embroidered on Erik's cape, but I always imagined it on his back, so-- since we can't see his back anyway-- I decided not to add it.
