"Let the dream begin,
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write,
The power of the music of the night!

You alone can make my song take flight,
Help me make the music of the night..."


Acrylic painting of the phantom after he takes Christine deep within his lair (and shows her that creepy maniquin, that would make me faint as well...). I noticed that Phantom often had this hawk-like expression of protection on his face, which was sort of touching, so I tried to capture it here in a "she's mine" pose while still keeping it mystic and romantic (he is the angel of music you know...) and I'm extremely satisfied with the way it came it out becuase acrylic is so hard to get to blend skin tones with...

This was painted on a canvas and the acrylice piled on so I did the best to smooth the lumps but you can still sort of see the grain of the canvas but don't think any less of it.

And as a last note that green stuff is supposed to the mist on the river...in case you couldn't tell ^^;
For reference I used basically anything you find in a Phantom of the opera gallery and a special picture provided by the the lovely Tama-chan as reference for her head. Yet the image as awhole was, of course not comprised of one single image.

Acrylic on canvas (I'v forgotten the size, but it's about twice as big as my usual watercolor size...)

The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.

n-n Came out good. I'd have thought the green stuff was a reflection of something if you didn't say it was a mist over the water. XD

meh, either way, I know it may look a little out of place, but it's really the only things that brings and ties in all of that empty space...just thought i'd point it out to smooth out any confusion ^^;

You got their features perfectly. They are super detailed, but it's so close to what they really look like. Even more so than some of the realistic looking ones that are suppose to capture their features.
I love his hands. They're so expressive considering they arent doing more than holding Christine up.
Excellent work!! :heart:

considering the hands took my about five minutes, yeah I'm pretty proud of them, and the faces as well, those took aloooong time o.< Oh well the effort was worth it ne?
:iconparanoidcity:
Beautiful . . . . I love the position you put them in and the colors.
