Description
βIt is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.β- George Bernard Shaw
...My small protest to the dreaded "sequel".
Leave the well enough alone, please!

Very well done, nice use of light and shadow. Β You can just see the lines of grief in his posture.

Oh this is lovely.
Beautiful lighting, beautiful depth of emotion, beautiful beautiful beautiful.
Yeah, I agree on the reviling LND bit. Eugh. Let's not talk about that.

NOOOOOOO!
*breaks threw fourth wall* I WOULD LOVE YOU, ERIK!!!!!
Pff. What peace? He's got a phangirl following. Peace? With girls like me always breakin' through the fourth wall with squees, noooos, and self-insertion fictions? PUH-LEASE.
And I will always be there, to hug him in the end ^W^
Sensational expression of emotion in the art, though. Despair.
...How I hate that ending.

Down with LND! The mockery! The stupidity! The absurdity! The 'Bathing Beauties' song! AAAAAAAAAGH!!!!! Doomed from the start, LND must die!
And I love your pic, btw! The lighting and the message and beautifully done!

I know, right? ANTI-LND!!!
This is a beautiful picture, by the way. The emotions are so poignant.

I agree compared to the first the music from Love Never Dies was lame and poor Erik I think he suffered enough

Thank you!
Though heart-wrenching, I think the show ends on a beautiful note.
I'm quite content to leave it there...

Wow, this is really beautiful!
I think I'm going to see the sequel just so I can make fun of it. >.<

I'm trying to keep an open mind for the sequel, but it's hard because the original show is very dear to me.
Making fun of it may be the best tactic, actually...
Thanks for your comment!

Thank you.
This is one of my favorite pieces.
Though started as a protest for the upcoming "sequel", another inspiration was my favorite Phantom actor leaving the show.
All good things come to an end, indeed...

Poor, unhappy Erik, indeed.
But then again, we wouldn't love him as much if he weren't, right?
Thanks again.

That is true if he wasn't such the tragic character we couldn't hold him so dear could we? Again a marvelous job!
You're very welcome.

It means a lot, because that is exactly what I was hoping to capture.

The lighting is beautiful. And The Phantoms pose is just heartbreaking. It's amazing how you can make him look so sad without showing his face.

It's called "bacting", actually (I kid you not).
Sometimes a simple gesture, or even just the poise, can convey so much more than a thousand words.
I try to capture a little of that when I doodle...
Thanks for your comment!

That's hilarious! I'll have to try that more in my art.

The lighting is magnificent, and it just... makes me want to cry.
POOR ERIK!!!
And I totally agree with you about the sequel.

Thank you!
The man's gone through so much in the original, why subject him to more heartache, right?
Though I try hard to remain open-minded, I just don't see the need for the sequel.
Oh well...

Thank you for your comment.
Once the curtain falls, there is nothing left to do but to make your exit.
If you think about it, Christine was both the beginning and the ending to Erik...

I completely agree with you about the sequel. The musical ends right were it should... why tamper with something that's already perfect?

Thank you for your comment!
And I agree wholeheartedly.
Even that little epilogue scene in the graveyard at the end of the 2004 movie was a bit much for me.
I do not think I can stomach a whole sequel...
Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
Drawing, to me, is just that - an expression of love.
Nietzsche said: "You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star."
Well, chaos I've aplenty.
At this point, I'd even settle for a gold star sticker...
Thanks again.

I could not agree more; let the original be. Why is it every time something becomes successful they feel the need to do a sequel? As heartbreaking as it was, the end of the show was my favorite part.
As for your piece, the lighting is exquisitely executed and the emotion it projects is stunning. Well done
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree whole heartedly.
Even after so many times I've seen the show, it still brings tears to my eyes.
Original ideas are scarce nowadays, I am afraid - good ones even more so.
Thanks for your kind words.
I really do appreciate it.

I wish you were wrong about the shortage of them. Still, it makes the occasional good one even better, in a way.
And I'd love to see the show again; being a near-broke college student, I've only had the privilage of seeing it once about a month ago. Even just listening to the music stirs feelings though.

With head head down Erik moves on to find a new lease in life. Yet this piece pulls upon the heart strings and you just wanna run up and give him a huge hug from behind (lord knows I want too LOL)
Phantastic work as always

You and me both, about the hug.
The only thing that keeps me from actually climbing up on the stage to do so is the orchestra pit...
It is such a heartbreakingly beautiful moment, more the reason why I am dreading the whole sequel thing.
Thanks for your comment.
And I love the new avatar, kupo!

The sequel is not an approved concept in my eyes. Unless they make it a pre-quel of Erik's exsistance in Pursia like in Gaston Leroux origional novel, even then he had only hinted of Eriks servitude to the prince of pursia and his close friendship to the Daroga, then I might approve
