Description It's no big secret that I'm a huge Phantom of the Opera dork. If you haven't read Susan Kay's "Phantom" I highly reccommend it. Anyway, here's some fan art inspired by the movie...although I took my own liberties with the character designs. This isn't really fanart of the flick, per say, just my personal vision of the characters in Anime style. Just a little thing I did for myself. ^_^

Hand drawn and inked with deleter manga nibs and black ink, scanned and colored in Photoshop. ^_^ Enjoy!

This should be an anime and they should use your artistic ability (as shown above) for it! I would definitively watch and buy it!

I, like a number of people on here have already said, Love your rendition of Erik. I personally think he looks a little like Tsuzuki Asato from Yami no Matsuei, but with gold eyes. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it looks awesome, but it looked very similar.

8 pieces? LOL Aww... I spent $38 on the damn thing because there's only ONE printing of it! But Hell, it was WORTH the money! I hope to pass it onto one of my kids some day, when I ahve them.. one of them WILL be a Phantom phan even if it kills me, lol watch them come out with a second printing by the end of 2006... >_>;

WanderingKotka [2005-01-20 02:24:58 +0000 UTC]

Mm, very lovely. You have an excellent coloring style. I've never imagined the characters like this. Perhaps reading the novel in French would have been more interesting if my mental images of the characters looked like yours.

Interesting representation of them both.

The Leroux novel reads very very dry. I actually adored it, but had a very hard time wading my way through it when I first tried. I reccommend Susan Kay's "Phantom", which is my favorite adaption of the story. ^_^

Thanks for the commentary! Erik's a devilish little thing, aint he?

WanderingKotka In reply to GuardianSun [2005-01-20 05:23:06 +0000 UTC]

It does indeed, which you really wouldn't think it would. I didn't know other adaptations existed. Thanks for the recommendation.

He is, but he looks much milder here . . .

GuardianSun In reply to WanderingKotka [2005-01-20 18:08:31 +0000 UTC]

There are a lot of different versions of the story, one of which is actually a Sherlock Holmes story. ^_^; I went through a big phantom phase back in 1990 and it hasn't really worn off since.

I have a tendency to really draw Erik much more calm than you would expect. I don't really know why. He's very mild in my mind sometimes.

burningbigbang In reply to GuardianSun [2005-02-25 09:58:26 +0000 UTC]

He's unfailingly polite and collected, I notice, unless it comes to A) his mask, and B) Christine. XD The former making him frazzled as a wet tomcat, the latter making him a bit more... amorous, I suppose. Or depressive. XD

-agent-elle- [2005-01-04 23:50:35 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow! So Phantom and yet so beautifully anime! Not that the two don't match, mind you, because they quite obviously do (Hell Yeah!). Excellent personal envisionment of the characters, I love the hair and Erik's enchanting scars ! Christine's costume is also the sex, yet she manages to still look all innocent and pure... yeah, that would be Christine's major gift. Not singing, oooh no, but looking all sweet and pure and yet severely fu-... fanciable? One beautiful picture!

GuardianSun In reply to -agent-elle- [2005-01-05 03:52:30 +0000 UTC]

LOL XD Oh I like you already! *chuckles* Thanks for the commentary though ^_^ I was really afraid of doing this piece. It's a difficult subject to tackle; so many people have their own visions of what Erik and Christine look like that it's sometimes difficult to meet peoples expectations. That's kind of why i was a wee bit selfish with this one <_< *cough* diditformyself *cough* ^_^;;;

Christine's costume needs some work. -_- I should've farted around with some textures, added something. It's terribly generic b ut the style works well enough. ^_^

=^_^ = Thanks bunches for the kind words!!

GuardianSun In reply to producer-kai [2005-01-03 05:02:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks ^_^;; Doing scars in anime can be a little one dimentional. Figured if I was going to compensate for not showing the mask I might as well make something a little more obvious. Thank you though!! *gets warm fuzzies*
