Description
Sick of this guy yet? Well get used to it. xDYep, ol' Erik pops up again. It's funny, I've gotten so used to drawing him without his mask it's actually harder to draw him with it. Still wearing his wig though, he has not spontaneously grown hair. xD
I swear, everytime I draw him someone asks "Who's the Zombie?" and then I say "It's Erik. He's um... The Phantom of the Opera" and then they say something along the lines of 'Isn't only half of his face supposed to be messed up?" or "I thought his deformity was like bubbly and melty and shit" or what have you, and then I explain about Gaston Leroux and blah blah blah and goddamnit. He's not a zombie. >>
I mean, come on! Skull like deformity, right? I mean, in the book, no nose, icy fingers, sunken in eyes, skeletal frame, "death's head" ? He has a skull like deformity. Yes he does. Shut up. >>
I mean, even if my interpretation of his skull like deformity sucks, that fact remains, he has a skull like deformity. That's the canon of it. Yeesh.
Whatever. Anyway, yeah, so here we got Erik, I reworked his eyes from my previous designs. The whites of his eyes and his pupils are now black, and his irises are yellow. This drawing isn't a colour profile however, so everything's pretty much black and green. Yeah.
Anyway, Phantom/Erik belongs to Gaston Leroux, art is mine.

A skull like deformity is how I would describe it. I must admit, I havent read the book, but am desperatly asking around to see if I can get it! I have an image like that of this in my head when somebody says, "Gerik, Erik or The Phantom of the Opera." Its just a shame that when I try to tell my friends about the awesomeness and heartbreaking-ness of this whole idea of a lonely, misunderstood man who lives in the opera house, they egnore me because they dont like the idea of Opera. *sigh* I will keep fighting...anyway, sorry! I love this picture, the simplicity is lovely and I love that subtle slight smirk.

The whole 'he is only half deformed' thing came about when fangirls got into it. FOR SERIOUS. Anyway, fangirl's need the object of their affections to be at least slightly attractive. Think about it.
Love the picture hun. The expression on his face made me smile. Thanks for putting up with the idiots and still posting!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry for my venting... xD
I mean, I used to be one of those stupid fangirls myself, but now I'm well into my Leroux-obsessed elitist phase, and can't stand... Fangirls who I used to be like. I know I'm being terribly hypocritical, but... That's me for yeh. xD
And thanks very much Becron, you're too kind!

I believe everyone gets to the point where they look back on their lives and go 'what the crap was I thinking?!?'
Now then, imagine Erik being chased by rabid fangirls. Rabid yaoi fangirls who want to pair him with Raoul. With m-preg sauce!!
*Chortle*

I MAY BE A MASSIVE PERVERT, BUT THAT IS GOING TOO FAR. >>
The one person I will never slash...

Fine, whatever, but seriously. Erik. Being chased by fangirls. Who love yaoi. JOY.
The whole being paired with Raoul thing is just sort of the cherry on the yaoi-flavoured cake.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't get me wrong, I love me some gay, but... Raoul... Ugh...
I mean, maybe the persian, possibly, but... Raoul? I mean... His hair... It's... Raoul. I can't think of anything else to say. xD
Poor Erik. Always gets the short end of the stick. xD
(If you catch my drift...)
(Ohohoho!)
(See what I did there?)
(The part where I implied that Raoul wasn't well endowed?)
(... Well I thought it was clever...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... hypothetically speaking, I do believe Erik would be the dom. Eh. Nice pun. It made me chortle.
Anyway, there have been worse pairings. FOR INSTANCE Voldemort and Neville. WTF.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I LOEV THE WERD CHORTLE. >>
Anyway, I just can't get over my hatred of Raoul. I'm sorry buddy, I've failed you. I guess I'm not the pervert I thought I was... *sniff*

This sounds like the start to some sort of dirty limerick... All this third person...

I can not write limericks. I wish I could. Damn...
'Erik' isn't a bad rhyming name either.

There once was a Phantom called Erik
He lived in a dark, nasty lair- ick!
He lived a sad life, and he longed for a wife,
but instead he got saddled with this chick:
Your turn!

This is not going to turn out well... here goes.
There once was a fop of earl
Who was in love with a chorus girl
It all ended nice
In acts one to thrice
And the ring he gave had a pearl
The phantom, he did not like it
Told the girl 'he is shit'
The girl did not listen
For the pearl was a glistenin'
And swore her love to the idiot
Erik the Phantom was pissed
So he made an angry fist
Sang his song
Said 'so long'
His awesomeness will be missed
The night of the masquerade
An appearance Erik made
Discovered a fling
Made off with a ring
As the earl tried to mount a raid
The earl was about to get cut
When the door above slammed shut
Then a lady stepped in
And said with a grin
"You're in over your head but..."
"At least I can say this:
The phantom's loop will miss.
Hand at your eye,
or else you will die."
She said with a fearful hiss.
And it sucks. YOUR TURN.

Oh relax, not bad at all! Pretty much sums up the whole thing, actually. But a bit clean for my taste...
There once was a foppy rich viscount
He bought scented shampoo at a discount
He preened and he fussed
While his wife sat untouched
And sighed at his dwindling sperm-count.
Sorry. I couldn't think of anything else that ryhmed with viscount. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, that's what he was! No idea why I was thinking 'earl'... -sigh-
You know, I get the feeling there is a collection of Phantom limericks somewhere on the internet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, is somebody sick of writing limericks already? xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I'm just not good at them. <_<;;
Um...
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Were playing out in the hot sun
When along came a girl
With a bright curl
Who said 'well now this isn't fun'
I'm seeing that movie when it comes out. So excited!!

Yeah, Crispin Glover is playing the Knave of Hearts. If you don't know who that is, here: [link]
He's pretty much my hero.

Yes, Crispin glover... yum... he was in 9 and his voice is lovely.
