Description Whew! This. Thing.

This took WEEKS. I kid you not. Though the effort involved far outweighs the payoff of the joke... heh... I regret nothing!!

This comic came about as the result of some joking around on Skype with the fabulous and devastatingly brilliant Biskuits and Kryss LaBryn, who then gave me feedback on every single drawing for every single panel for over a month. You guys deserve medals for your patience in putting up with my neuroses! ("OMIGOD, does the piano look okay NOW?") Couldn't have done it without your feedback.

All penciling and inking was done by hand, with each character and prop being done and scanned separately. Colour was done digitally.

Welllp, it was certainly a learning process... !!


(Characters Christine and Erik are from the original Phantom of the Opera novel by Gaston Leroux -- which is why their look varies from the stage production.)

(*Note: The music on the music sheets IS actually The Jewel Song from Faust.)

Aw, see? Anyone can find love. Even if their voice or face is an abominable travesty.
Nothing wrong with being "one ugly mofo", Arnold Schwarzenegger. Let that be a lesson to you.

I was looking at this and I was thinking, normal people with noses have to tilt their heads when they kiss each other but Erik doesn't have a nose so he shouldn't have that problem, but then again I wouldn't want someone else's nose sticking into my nasal cavity. Great pic!

Thanks very much! And... man, I had a really hard time drawing that angle so Christine's nose *didn't* end up in his, uh, nose hole. Would not have looked so romantic...

PersephonelovesErik In reply to shmeeden [2012-11-04 04:15:42 +0000 UTC]

Ya Christine nose sticking her nose Erik's nose hole probably wouldn't be the most romantic looking thing in the world pluss Erik can still smell and stuff do there must be some errm... nose bits (?) in there so I don't think Erik would find that the most comfortable thing in the world
