Description Entry for #PhollowersoftheOpera's "Phantom in Another Time Period" Contest.

The idea was to place the story of The Phantom of the Opera in a non-Victorian time period. I chose 1940s style detective/film noir as a suitable setting. The current picture shows the Apollo's Lyre scene. Raoul, as the hero, is in the main role. Christine plays the mysterious woman who walks into his life. She appears to be a victim, but there's more to her than appearances suggest. And Erik is the villainous criminal mastermind whose former gangster lifestyle is catching up with him in the form of the (codename) Persian, an ex-hitman for the mob whose true loyalties are unknown! Ok, ok, the picture doesn't show all that stuff, but whatever.

It's also only half finished. I broke my tablet pen while working on this, so I guess it just is what it is.

I wouldn't say it was cheap for the bamboo, but it wasn't ridiculously expensive, either. So, I'll have a new one soon. But yeah, it was a sad moment.

OOOoh i LOVE this! It has a wonderful Bogart/Bacall feel, like it's a still from the Big Sleep or something - absolutely excellent! I think I now fangirl 40s Phantom!

Well damn... this is the feel I wish I'd been able to capture with my 40's piece.

Heh, thanks. I really like your 40's piece, though. Especially how you fit all the characters into the time period. I thought you did that the best out of everyone. I regretted not really being able to show Erik in this.

Aw, thanks so much! I do like how your Erik is lurking in the background, very Phantom-like. Also, congrats on the other Phantom contest!

The fun of having to draw the managers alone was worth it!
