Description The obligatory 'I Love Robert Carlyle' portrait. I got really impatient towards the end so I didn't finish the suit, the hair is quite dodgy and it generally is just... a bit meh. I may work on it more over time and upload an updated version but this is enough to get the need to draw him out of my system.

You just made me smile, even though this man is the reason why I am the victim of a theft right now. Theft of my heart, that is, from its rightful owner, my one true love, Erik Destler.

LOL. No idea who Erik Destler is, I'm afraid!

Erik Destler, aka the proper name of The Phantom of the Opera. The musical that Andrew Lloyd Webber based on this 1909 French novel celebrated its 25th anniversary last October and its 10,000th performance on Broadway earlier this month.

Ah right.... Yeah I know Erik, the book is one of my favourite books and I love the musical too, but I know for certain Erik has no last name in either of those.

I had never heard of him being called 'Destler' before, and strikes me as odd coz it doesn't sound French but I had a look around and discovered that's because he was only named that in one film, and had a variety of different names in other movies. Understandable, I guess, that some people would give him a last name, but since his creator didn't I prefer to just call him Erik.

Well, Destler is his surname as dictated by the Susan Kay novel.

Nope, I've read that novel and he has no last name in that either. A quick google identifies the source of the name Destler as being the 1989 horror movie. Also the only 'canon' name he can have is that which was given to him by his creator, Gaston Leroux. Anyone adding a name after that is free to do so, but it's artistic licence, not the Phantom's name.

Don't be jealous. If I had painted him into real life so I could hug him forever, then you'd have reason to be jealous.

LOL well this is still fan art, it's referenced from a screencap same as any TLK art or anything else I do... and I've drawn several portraits that are better than this before now XD David Tennant, Mika, Colin Morgan, the lads from the movie Primer, Tim Roth...

WOW!!! This is SO good! Love it, Noll! Even if the hair is a bit dodgy, I think you NAILED the skin and his face structure. It looks like a photo of him!

He really does carry the wieght of the show, in my opinion. Without him, I wouldn't CONSIDER watching it (not like I do, I just see a few scenes of episodes once in a while). BUT I did see most of the "Beauty and the Beast" themed episode last night (probably a rerun), and I liked it! Still don't understand most of the "modern" angle of the story, but the fairy tale side was awesome! I loved the relationship between Belle and Rumple.

Thanks! He totally does. I didn't even realise Robert was in the show when I started watching it, but the second I saw him (And Ginnifer Goodwin, actually, as I love her too) I was HOOKED. And now I'm even more so after last night's episode! 👍: 0 ⏩: 0
