I love how you captured that description of him looking at whoever was talking but not really hearing them.

His eyes... This is incredibly haunting, in the most gorgeous way possible.

This is so lovely. Pictures of Erik as a child are always so heartwrenching, I find, because he is far too young to understand why the world hates him so. I shudder to think how he must have felt upon being rejected by his own mother.

Your depiction of the trajedy is magnificent.

Though I've never understand the meaning of that sentens... can you explain?

Opergeist In reply to VissyCullen [2009-06-17 03:08:25 +0000 UTC]

Well.....in my less than humble opinion, when he refers to the edge he is talking about the extreme nature of his own will to play with fire. The flames are beautiful, but will consume.

That's pretty much exactly the sort of expression I picture Erik having in that part of the book. You've captured the scene excellently!

Yay Erik art!

Please for the love of god, don't draw teen Erik, or if so, keep his shirt on >w<

Opergeist In reply to LadyGenivive [2008-12-22 15:07:16 +0000 UTC]

Er..too late. I'd say he's about 13 or 14 here.

And...I doubt that he would go shirtless willingly. Just isn't character motivated.

Ahh, I remember that scene. Teen Erik is such an adorable thing under Giovanni's influence. If only Luciana hadn't been such a bint. But then, I guess, we would miss the rest of the story.

Lovely work, he really does have that "far away" look.

That has always been one of my all time favorite scenes from the book. It was about time that it found its way to my fanart.

marienoire In reply to Opergeist [2008-12-22 05:25:52 +0000 UTC]

Do you think you will be doing more art of him from his lesser-known chapters? With the gypsies or in Persia? I have to admit, a twenty-year-old Erik in Persia is a tempting visual.
