If you need me to tell you to fullview this... you're not particularly bright.

There are some projects that appear in my head and I'll think they're awesome ideas, but it takes a jolt or stimulus of some kind to actually galvanise me into action. This was one of them.

I'd watched the Phantom of the Opera movie much earlier in the year and quite enjoyed it, and quite soon after I got the idea of doing a picture of the Phantom and Christine as Umbreon and Espeon Pokemorphs. For those of you who don't know Pokemon, the Espeon and Umbreon are, respectively, the Daylight and Moonlight Pokemon and are often seen as having a yin and yang sort of relationship, since they evolve from the same species as well. So the leap from the day-and-night symbolism in Phantom was pretty much natural as far as my mind was concerned. I really liked the idea but never got around to starting it, and it soon got buried in the dust along with the other ideas I never got around to starting.

THEN I saw Phantom on Broadway, and WOW. It was the most superb performance of anything that I've watched in a very long time, and as it turned out, was just the kick I needed to get this piece finished. and I am so freaking proud of it

Anyway. I don't know what it is with my penchant for Pokemorphs all of a sudden, but this just seemed to fit.

I was going to use refs but Christine's dress didn't like me or my wobbly small tablet so I designed her one of my own. And I ended up guessing and making up Erik's costume too but oh well, it's still recognisable as them, I suppose. I really enjoyed doing the hair. The shading took forever but it was all worth it, dammit I love AIRBRUSHES!

And for those of you who want to see more scenes from the Pokemon of the Opera, feel free to suggest them to me. (I've decided Raoul shall be a Flarey )

I'm not sure to whom The Phantom of the Opera is copyrighted to, since it's been a book, a movie and a musical o_X; But if you think I'm either Gaston Leroux or Andrew Lloyd Webber, then I feel sorry for you.
