Description
A rather young Phantom wallowing in his own barely bridled rage. This would be during the Persia period of Kay's novel, although, as I like to imagine it, Erik wore a full mask through his youth. As he grew into adulthood, he would have shed the emotional baggage of a full mask, which would be reminiscient of his horrible childhood, and adopted the unconventional half-mask. Therefore, Ta-da! Nutshell explanation, unifying two theories of the mask. let me stress again that this is just what I like to use for reason, not that it's the end-all, be-all backstory.Related content

i love it! you're one of few artists that actually drew erik correctly... i get so tired of A.L.W. phantoms all over the place and plenty of fans that don't even know there's a book behind it all.
... thank you for drawing erik correctly

Well I've never cared about how "ugly" he was supposed to be....I always thought that he was beautiful.

I always wondered what medical condition would have resulted in his facial deformity.

I wanna hug him, but he'd probably kill me.
Nice job with portrayal of emotion

It would be worth it, though. I love his eyes. I'm an eye freak. If I meet a nice guy, and he's got great eyes, but the rest of him looks like it got run over by a truck, I'm still hooked ^_^!

huh......run over you say.
Well, at least then you can carry them around in a little jar.

Great work! Love how the eyes are different colors, with the one yellow in Leroux style.

I've simply fallen in love with this piece. It's very Erik. It makes me fall for the character over again. Wonderfully done!
"It is true Christine... I am not an angel, nor genius, nor ghost... I am Erik!"

Wow, glad it evokes that from you. Thank you.

Gah! It's really wonderfully done! I really like your interpretation of him. It's like the whole face... with hair! I like the longer hair thing. I just like it when guys have hair. It's like.., GAH! 
Long story short, I adore it!

Well, I hadn't envisioned it as long really. It's just long enough to slick back.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, yeah... that's what I was trying to get at. Heh. Just... actual... hair.

I think this one is my favorite so far. The emotion is raw and clear...
And, as always, amazing detail.

Yeah, it seems just a bit more shocking to me. Thanks.

I have yet to see that movie. I think I should go rent it now. Very nice inking and shading! It reminds me of a comic.

It's a nice piece with a very good atmosphere, but I can't help but notice that the mask looks copied exactly from one of Fdelo's works...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fdelo's mask has points and a spiral on either cheek. It is overall more burtonian, although very beautiful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, minus the Burtonesque spirals and there it is... It's what caught my eye.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Egh...I just took the way I draw the half mask and drew it on the other side as well, although it's a high compliment to be compared to Fdelo, who does things with charcoal that I can only dream of.

I suppose this is true. It's a pity her art is gone.
