Description
Watched The Phantom of the Opera for the first time in a couple years recently. I wanted to kinda capture a "feeling" rather than a perfect illustration.But... XD I think I just kinda failed in my attempt. The stylised hand looks like crap... and just. Ugh. Ah well! At least I drew something.

It's really raw, and definitely evokes emotion. It's dark, broody, and lovely. I think the hand is just fine. ^-^

I love the simplicity. A lot of your artwork is so detailed and colorful; it's very interesting to see the other side of the spectrum.

When I don't do detailed stuff I feel like I'm being lazy though. XD

I believe that, to some extent, a prerequisite to being an artist is laziness. XD And yet, we always seem to get stuff done... >.> Must be the deadlines. >_O
My point is: DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! 8D No harm in being lazy in-between your usual phenomenal artworks, especially considering that your laziness still makes for an incredible piece of work.

I know some really unlazy artists though. D:
al;jdf;kljawl;jf nuuu. I can't be lazy. *tortures self with detail*
I'm probably just obsessing over unlazyness because of the absolute mountain of scholastic work I have.

I actually like this creepy dark feel you captured. Really does feel like he's walking like a ghost. what did you use? ink? India ink?

For the longest time I just stared at this piece of work. The wings/shadowy thing looks a bit like a guardian angel, I'm not sure if thats meant to be signifigant. *looks up at the title* Why yes, I am that stupid. The cloaky thing is really cool I like how it just tumbles down of the page as if time is pulling it out and its slipping through his fingers like sand [Thats probably just me....]. The face reminds me of a V for Vendetta mask, the hair doesn't help any.... that could be because I've never watched The Phantom of the Opera... ever. Do enlighten me, is it any good? Are they meant to be claws or hands, thats the only bit that confuses me. Otherwise amazing

You're right! I hadn't noticed that before. I like to hear your take on my stuff it's always very unique and helps me look at my stuff in a different way.
You should definitely watch The Phantom of the Opera. It's dark, and tragic. Of course, you kinda have to ignore the annoying romance, but hey. It's good enough to be given a little bit of slack. The Phantom of the Opera is GREAT. Watch it!
They can be claws or hands. They were designed to be both.

Oh thank you for thinking my view on art is unique, it's made me smile quite a lot. I shall check Phantom of the Opera out of the dvd section of my library.

I really like it. The wing is my favorite art of it. I'm actually a big fan of scribbley works. You also wicked make we want to try watercolors again. It's been too long since I've tried using some. Unfortunately I don't think my style would go too well with it. : \
Bottom line, love it!

Thanks! I'm terrible with wings so I'm glad you think it turned out ok! Maybe I'm getting better.
Try watercolours! Though, I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite to say that since I don't like using watercolours. XD This is acrylic actually. Except for the scribbley lines which are ink. Watercolours make me very uneasy since if water ever touches them they'll be ruined. That's why I prefer acrylic. >.>

Really!? That's acrylic. Wow...would have never guessed. I've messed with acrylic paint a few times, it's ok I guess. I remember it being very thick and plastic like. You must water it down quite a bit?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep! I water it down quite a lot. It works great. It lasts longer and is cheaper.

I like the raw feel of this, makes me think of something Erik himself may have sketched. I think the form behind him could be either wings, or a shadow...or perhaps both. Very nice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hee hee, I'm not sure. Erik wants to be an angel so I doubt he'd draw a relatively "dark" and slightly "negative" version of himself.

First I looked at it and thought "wow, creepy like the Phantom" then I read your description.
beautiful feeling!

By trying to just capture the feeling of it, you've created an illustration far more interesting than most fully thought-out works, well done!
