Erik.... Before you die of lonliness because Christine left you.... 'Please consider me as an alternative to suicide'(Princess Bride elbow). This strangely reminds me of the far cry 4 cover. My ADD brain cannot look at all the Erik art at once...

He doesn't look like he's a reign of terror - he looks like he's just happily waiting for an opera or ballet to begin.

Thank you!
Erik in his full badass Opera Ghost mode is made of win.

I love it. The colours, the framing of the piece, and his posture espeially. He has such an air of no-shit confidence about him! It's great that you can convey a bit of character with just one drawing.
And, as I mentioned, I really love the thought put into framing it with the curtain, it works really well.

Thank you!
I think how one carries himself say a lot about his character, so I do try to capture that in my drawings.
And Erik, I believe, takes great pride as well as care in how he carries himself to compensate for his deformity, so it is very important to him.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for dropping by.

I love this! Just the way that he's sitting... and his hands... and his gaze is so... so... *swoons*

This is one of a few instances where the idea in my head translated very well into the final product.
Thus, is also one of my favorites...
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks!

Perfect....

His stare is just...eek....

Kinda sucks you in, doesn't it?
There is a dark allure about Erik that is quite fascinating to me.
It's always a challange trying to capture it...
Thanks for your comment!

Completely! I adore Erik so much!!!

You are more adventurous than I.
Glomping him would surely result in the lassoing, at least in my experience...
your obt'

Actually...glomping him results in him grabbing me by the throat, whirling me about in a circle and throwing me across the room. Then there's a huge hunt for me as I run from him...I'm sure he will eventually try the lasso, but since I'm on Der Tod's good side, I won't die. ^^ I can't wait to see Erik's face when I still glomp him!! XD
Boy...am I random...X3

Ooh, hide and go seek with the Opera Ghost!
That's gotta be fun...
No worries - my boys are always running amuck in my head as well.

Hide and seek with the Opera Ghost is always interesting...^^ And then Raoul is being all prissy-diva-boy and annoying me and I throw him into the lake, then Erik grabs him and then I have to save him while Jacqueline distacts him and then Rufe'o flies in and I have to stop him from fighting Raoul and then Abby follows and starts fighting with Rufe'o and then Shini shows up and starts making out wiht Jacqueline (who is his wife so it's okay, but so not in my head!!) and then all the other characters join in and I have to throw them out of Erik's lair and then Elle Woods shows up!! Gaaaaaaah....
And...that's about it...
People running amouk in my head...headache...

Hehee, keep up the good work ^__^
You should draw Erik in teacher glasses *rolls around*
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, don't get me started on glasses again.
I do like them on Erik, so I'm sure more will turn up sooner or later.
Thanks again.

I'm just not able to picture Erik with glasses...
π: 0 β©: 1
I was the same way - I always pictured him with a monocle, not glasses,
since glasses would get in the way of his mask (or is it the other way around?).
But I also tend to prefer older Phantoms, and with age, your eyesight starts to deteriorate.
So, whether he likes it or not, Erik may not have a choice...

The hands! I love the hands! Probably because I myself have a hard time drawing hands...
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you!
Steepled hands, by default, conjour up Sherlock Holmes in my mind.
So who better to steal the trademark pose but Erik, who I believe posesses the mental intellect just as sharp, if not sharper...

ooooo.... Awesooome. The reminds me very much of the scene from Kay where he sits upon the Peacock throne and teases Nadir (who mind you is having a conniption) I do love that book
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you!
The Phantom reigns over the Opera and all is well in the world, right?
Yes, I love that book, too.
Perhaps it is time I go back and read it again...

Oh my! Don't tempt me! I have to get through Les Miserables first! And I'm only on page 86/ 1250+! It's well worth the read anyway - especially if you're a fan of the musical.
As for Kay... well I have to restrain myself from reading it over and over. Despite many of the orthodox Leroux worshiper's abstention from anything but the original (not that I have any issue with that because well Leroux is Leroux 
π: 0 β©: 1
My paperback copy is quite worn from repeated reading.
So is my copy of Leroux.
I actually have a Kay hardcover and another Leroux paperback as backups.
I, for one, am always open for new ideas and insights...

A little portrait of the infamous Opera Ghost, I thought.
I'm glad you liked it.

Wonderful job as usual, I really like his shoes.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you for saying that!
'cause I don't like drawing men's shoes.
Mostly because I've no use for them in real life.
I made myself sit down and take time to draw them for this,
so you just made my night.

This is definatly drool worthy.
o.o;;
Lovely drawn and colored too!

Thank you!
I am of the opinion that you do not have to show skin to be sexy.
And Erik can be quite seductive in his full "Opera Ghost" (or "Angel of Music") mode...

Oh, your are definitly right about that!

Awesome
I agree with axels-grrl XD
I really like the pose and I admire how you do hands. I can't do them T_T
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you!
I've always pictured Erik with a very expressive pair of hands,
so I do try to spend some time drawing them.
I'm glad you liked it.
your obt'

Me too, the hands are one of the most important things about the personality of a character.
I have to spend more time drawing hands. Most of the times, I donΒ΄t draw them when I'm sketching the human body, because they ruin the sketch 
*go to practice hands*

"A stone-cold, bony thing, a hand that smelt of death, seized my wrist and did not let go."
-Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera
That's such a great imagery, if a little morbid...
Yet another reason why I love him.

I totally agree with you XD

I really would let him reign over me...just because hes awesome! ^_^

I would, too, in a heartbeat.
The feared and revered Opera Ghost, indeed.
I really enjoy the difference between that
and the "nothing but a man" side of him...
Thanks as always!
