Description
And finally, for the finale--tah dah! More Phantom art! This one I did in part for a contest of 100 themes, this one is number 5. "Seeking Solace", and partly because I love to do Phantom art. It was done in pencil and then watercolored on top of it. This is Erik sitting on the roof of the Opera Populaire, looking out over Paris. I thought this would be appropriate for the theme because it seems like this would be one of the few places he could find real peace. His lair would remind him too much of his solitude and how much he's cut off from the world. Sitting on the roof keeps him apart, but also kind of connects him to the humanity below.Um, the scan isn't so hot, sorry guys. I'm working on getting another one.
Erik belongs to a whole bunch of people that arn't me...alas...

nicely done. Love the overall monochrome feel. Black and white may seem lonesome, but now it seems to bring a sense of peace from the clutter of color.

Hahaha, technically the Eiffel Tower wouldn't have been built then (and is waaaay in a different direction)--but that anal-retentive historical nitpick aside, this is a pretty awesome piece! I love your creativity on the building's facade and the sky and the moon and... very nice!

You are absolutely correct, I did some research (after doing the painting) and had a d'oh! moment. Ah well, at least one can identify it as Paris if they're not familiar with the story (bad excuse, lol). But anyway, thanks!

It's so true--I think that's the Eiffel Tower's sole purpose in life: to identify Paris to those who aren't as obsessed as others *koffs*

Beautiful picture! I love the detail! You have a very nice technique... Only Im wondering if you ae basing it off the movie or the stage show? I only ask because the Eiffel Tower wasn't built till 1889... and the movie is based in 1870 (which is also historically incorrect cause of the Franco-Prussian War which Joel decided to... ignore.. :S.. ) and the stage show is based in 1881... which would also make the Eiffel Tower non-existant.
... ... ...
Yanno what? Ignore me. Im a France freak! LMFAO!
