Description
Well, posted hers, so I'll post mine. We've basically been using the playlist shuffle meme thingy in order to help inspire ideas for art, and while we were doing it properly for awhile, we decided to treat the pieces that come from the exercise as thumbnails rather than actual pictures, and we worked from there. Here's hers. [link]We pretty much chose our favorite and went from there. Hers came from the song "'Til I Hear You Sing," which is actually from Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to the staged musical, "Love Never Dies." ([link] )
Mine came from the song "Made to Love" by tobyMac. ([link] ) The song itself is a Christian song, and it's one of my favorites. ^^ This ended up being the 10th song, and I hadn't drawn anything sweet and romantic yet. (I might have drawn one other, dunno.) In any case, I needed some sap. And it is a love song, too.
By the way, I like giving the Phantom long hair sometimes. I have a design I did of him with long hair that was made years ago, but I'm not 100% certain about where it is. Artistic license, yes? No?
I can already see like a million things wrong with this picture, but I honestly can't really fix them right now. (She's friggin tiny in comparison to him... She looks like a little kid. T-T oops... And I never did draw any visible parts of her dress, but she's NOT NAKED!!! XD) And my background kinda sucks...
Um, do not own these characters, by the way...

The best version of this Phantom's song I heard is by Nightwish.

No way. This totally looks like one of the scenes in my on-going fanfiction. I've incorporated Erik as himself, under the alias of Phoenix Rose. He's under the Curse of Calypso and secretly loves my main character, who's female of course.

Seriously? That's pretty cool. ^^

I commented to see if you'd reply. You did, so I'll favorite this. Also, check out "Sea-Witch" in my gallery; this is the fanfic I was talking about. I have yet to post the chapter with the instance your picture reminds me of, so I'll summarize it here for you: one of the two heroines, my character, is on the roof of the operahouse, feeling utterly hopeless since no one seems to appreciate her and her fellow heroine doesn't even want her around. Phoenix climbs down from the statue of Pegasus (his hiding place in the movie) and answers a question that's been plaguing her mind about him. He's told her a story as to how he came under the Curse of Calypso under the pretense that it was a friend he met on his travels, and she wants to know if his friend was the Phantom of the Opera. When he answers affirmatively, she says "Tell him I'm in heaven. Living on Earth without him is like dying a thousand deaths in Hell." and then she throws herself from the roof. Acting quickly, Phoenix plunges down after her, sprouting ravens' wings in the process, and saves her from impacting with the pavement below before leveling out to hover in mid-air. She opens her eyes to find her former voice teacher (i.e. Erik in his truest form) holding her in his arms. "Don't you scare me like that." he says.

Sounds pretty interesting. I may have to check it out sometime. ^^

You should.
P.S. Have you ever heard of Labyrinth? One of the influential characters in my fanfiction is from that.
P.P.S. My fellow heroine/co-author offers great, if some what vulgar sometimes, perspective in her view of our story. She's known as Moonlite_Water, or something along those lines, and she watches me. Check out my watch list.

I have heard of Labyrinth, and really want to see it, but have not yet had the opportunity to. People who know me say that its the kind of movie I like, so it will be on my Christmas list this year.

Good thing it is. It's quite a good movie; even my Algebra teacher loves it. She's a monster Jim Henson nut.

I love Jim Henson's work very much as well. I could spend hours on Youtube just watching Muppet clips.
I will likely wait until after I've seen the movie to read your story, but after what I've seen of it, I definitely plan to read it. It seems to be an interesting story, although admittedly a bit different than what I normally read. I will definitely look into it, though. ^^

Yipee! Look forward to seeing you. Watch me so you can know first hand when I post the chapters.

Wow, this is so pretty and sweet!
May I ask what brushes you used on Photoshop? I'm kinda new to Photoshop.... the brushes make me very confused... but I like the ones you used for Erik's cape! It's very beautiful!

To be honest, I just used the regular airbrush and paintbrush tools. I had originally colored the whole picture by hand with colored pencils, but did not like the way some of it looked, so I went over it in Paint Shop Pro. I wasn't even going to allow any of the original to show through, but I liked how the textures looked, so I made the digital painting slightly transparent.
So the textures are actually from the colored pencils...
I'm glad that you like my picture, though.
