Description
Phantom of the Opera sketch duuuump!!!Loads and loads of sketches; some that have been floating around for a while and others based on the suggestions that were sent to me in response to the journal post (thank you everyone!)
I’m more or less going to let the drawings speak for themselves, as, well, you know… there are so many! Also, yes, I included the previously posted colour version of Erik and have changed his eyes yet again. Urgh, I don’t know… I personally put a lot of emphasis on a character’s eyes, they say so much about a personality, and Erik’s have been such a challenge to work out because the description of them varies in the book (and I’m a traditionalist, which means that I wish to stay true to the original). I think I’m done now though. So long as he continues to stare fixedly with a glowering look, I’m happy.
Yeah, I’ve just realised that I seem to have a thing for drawing Erik just standing around. Boooo! He should be stalking between props or punjabbing a scene-shifter or something. Ha ha ha!

One question... Is Erik the skeleton dude or is that the phantom? :/

Leopreston In reply to XFrozen-RoseX [2011-01-20 21:25:02 +0000 UTC]
The Phantom and Erik are one and the same character (the skeleton dude, yes). Erik is the name he was given in the original novel.

you made the masquerade version of him so pretty....though my choice of words may be strange to describe it, ah well this one looks much more interesting the the one with the half mask

These are really good even if I don't normally care for the book however I these mostly the one you colored. I don't know why but I feel like Erik has a slight Grinch That Stole Christmas (from the original book) look about him (might be the eyes i don't know) which I think is really cool. One question what is the sketch is the top left corner?

Leopreston In reply to GwynnLaim-Love [2010-11-22 19:08:32 +0000 UTC]
Ha ha ha ha, Grinchyness? I love that. Oh and top left is Erik wearing a bag over his face... umm... it's probably very Susan Kay-ish, but, well.. there you go. :\
