Description Airbrush painting based off a promotional poster for the Phantom of the Opera.
This had better make up for me not uploading anything remotly resembling my art for the past two months. If anyone says curls are easy to do I'll laugh at them and tell them to try and paint thick curls on someones head with a mouse and we'll see if they say the same thing. Believe me...its not easy at all. Its like trying to vector curls and I don't have the patience or the steady hand to really do either.

This took a good 5 hours. Its darker then I intended and I passionatly refused to paint the lace of Christine's coller.
Hope you all like it.

This picture has been done a bunch of times, but this is probably my favorite. Her skin is so soft and inviting, as is her hair. And the Phantom looks so peaceful, and so possessive. I am in love with your airbrushing. The emotions are clearly shown here, and if someone didn't know the PotO story, this would tell them everything they needed to know. The world is a better place, with art like this in the world.

Nicely done!
I adore the softness of it, it makes it look almost pastel-like. Suits the pic very well.

TANTALIZING! You work well with lighting (or the lack thereof)...I feel like I could reach into the painting and grab her head, very warm and seductive...also tranquil and pleasing to look at while listening to Nightwish after a hard night's work (that's what I'm doing now).

If you would view my gallery, I would value your honest opinion.

I'll show you my initial reaction I had over AIM.

Rachelisms: Whoa, wow.
Rachelisms: [link]
Rachelisms: And that's the scene from my favorite Phantom song, too. <3
Rachelisms: But they totally digitally painted that.
Rachelisms: Ooooooh man.

I adore it. Holy crap.
