Description
Merry belated Christmas and happy New Year from Christine and Erik, who has finally given in to Christine's insisting he actually set up a tree. A gift for thesirentrick .
I'm so late posting this here. Wow.
I had fun with this one, experimenting with saturation and contrast. Also, tree. That was a pain. I mean to try harder on backgrounds in general this year. I have rather mixed feelings about these two as a couple, but somehow Photoshop keeps churning out drawings like these. I don't understand.
Reblog from <reynadraws.tumblr.com/post/722… ">here on Tumblr - and here are some WIP images of the process.
Title inspiration:"When those five days are past, you will have learnt not to fear me; and then, from time to time, you will come back to see your poor Erik!" --The Phantom of the Opera
...On a completely unrelated subject: new icon. Good or bad, mm?

Today, I was at my grandma's house for Christmas lunch, and I had a medical mask on because some of my family had the flu, and my favorite singer(who I used to have a crush on) came on the radio. Let's just say I'm glad I had the mask on, because my face was as red as the red death's cloak. Maybe Erik is hiding a similar expression under that mask of his. I bet it surprised him Christine hugged him.
Sorry for rambling.

Ah yes, if. Why I insist on painting things that cannot be, I'll never know.

And good luck on your backgrounds! That's one of my New Year's resolutions, too.

This is so cute! I love the pose- Christine looks so affectionate and happy in this! I wonder how the Phantom managed to get the Christmas tree into his underground lair? That would make quite a fun comic strip! lol But I like your use of lighting- not to illuminate the tree but the couple decorating it

Thank you so much! Ahaha, that would make for an amusing comic indeed.
Trying to draw as little attention to my tree as possible, oh dear. Whatever works!

Hahaha excellent work as always! I think this is one of your best pieces so far (and no, not because it's phantom).

Thank you!

I'm pretty happy with how the tree turned out in the end. I'm not sure I could ever do it the same way again, though.
