...I just recently got back from Chicago, where I saw the Andrew Lloyd Webber version of the Phantom of the Opera.

OMG.

No, seriously. It was really, really magnificent. My mom says it's darker than the other version she's seen (the one we previously had the soundtrack to), but, then again, I like darker things, I suppose. Anyway, I loved it. It really gave me goosebumps at the beginning when the chandelier was lifted. The overture during that was splendidly...loud. Yes. Loud. And lovely.

We bought the soundtrack. X3

And, while listening to the overture, I sketched this. In a bumpy car (grr). Then, when we got home and began watching Meet the Parents (both my mom and I had seen it--my step-dad had not), I inked the Phantom, colored him, then did the rest. Which I did not ink.

I am SO PROUD OF THIS. This was the first time I've used paint to do the highlights--even if I did use the primer from our kitchen ceiling. The rest is my traditional media; Prismacolor Markers, Micron Pens, the usual. Unfortunately, the scanner killed it, and it took much fiddling in Photoshop to get the background to be as black as it's supposed to. In real life, it actually looks kind of...bad. I'm going to have to go over the background a few times. But I think I fixed the colors to a point that they don't look horrid. The curtains look wonky, but I suppose it'll have to suffice.

You know, I'm quite suprised that this fit on my scanner. It took the whole piece of paper and my scanner is weird and...isn't...big enough...or something. It has a huge place to set what you wish to be scanned, but it only scans about 5/8 of that. *hits scanner* At least it cooperated this time.

Well, I really hope you like this as much as I do. It took me a good several hours and...you get the point. You probably haven't even gotten this far.

By the way, the shiny things in the blackness near the bottom of the picture are shards of a mirror. I'll leave you to figure it out. Also, the darker half of his face had a different expression. It was smiling. Just that half. But the blackness kind of...made that invisible. Just so you know. And the chandelier is blue, not yellow, because it is not on, or what have you.

The Phantom of the Opera isn't mine--obviously--figure out who it belongs to on your own, I'm FAR too lazy.
