The Music of the Night

Description

I'd been going through an art block a couple weeks ago when I watched The Phantom of the Opera again. It's really a beautiful film, and I was hoping for some inspiration. I threw a little sketch and some colors down during Point of No Return and kept going with it. This is the result.

Conveniently, ~bookbrink set up a PotO-themed contest around the same time (I honestly can't remember whether the contest or the sketch came to be first), so this is also my submission for that. :)

Of course, it's the original Leroux!Phantom and Christine... Perhaps on that night when he brought her down to his house on the lake? Poor unhappy Happy Erik... just this once. Tomorrow Christine's curiosity may get the best of her.

Full-view, please! :D

Background? I'm really not sure what it is, but at least I tried. Which is more than I can say about many of my recent paintings. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, though.

I had a bit of trouble with Erik's arm in the process. My frustration gave birth to a series of silly PotO comics, which I'll probably upload later. have now been submitted. The first can be found here - fav.me/d6iqnga
