[Phantom]

YAY, more phanart! This one's a little earlier in my "schedule" since it's for a contest in a POTO group. It is, as the title suggests, a gender-bent Erik from Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera! I tried to keep her completely Leroux themed with a gloomy and dark sort of tone. I can kind of see "Erika" (i guess) in an almost Tim Burton-esque kinda of victorian getup.
Anyway, this is a reference to a scene in the book where poor Erik is trying to distract Christine from fretting over Raoul as he is in the torture chamber.
(Note: shortened for convenience)
"'I want a wife whom I could love and take out on Sundays and keep amused on week-days.... Here, shall I show you some card tricks? That will help us pass a few minutes, while waiting for eleven o'clock to-morrow evening.... But you would have lots of fun with me. For instance I am the greatest ventriloquist that ever lived, I am the first ventriloquist in the world!... You're laughing.... Perhaps you don't believe me? Listen'"
I can see how childishly Erik would be trying to draw away her attention and tried to capture it here, in female form of course.
