Description Before I went crazy on this, it used to be two seperate pieces. One called 'Court du Noir' which can be found in my gallery, and another of something or other because I can't remember the name. Anyway, I'm actually really pleased with the way this came out. I added them together, practised cleaning up my lines, etc. The Erik was originally a line painting and the background was made with Bryce and Photoshop. Slap them together and what do you get?
A better piece than both. Very sad. I kind of wish the corinthian columns had shown up, because it would've added to the Persian-ness, but we can't have everything.

Wow! he looks amazing. He kinda reminds me of Lestat, same kinda dark mood there. Good symmetry and a brilliant intense expression!

also, a question...how would i submit my work to be considered for putting up in this gallery? I've joined the club...but i'm a little confused...

Also he's wearing high heels because his boots have heels. I can never seem to help but draw boots with big heels. I probably should've made them smaller, but hey. I like it for now.

I sort of see what you're saying kind of. But I tend to draw my hands really sort of long and kind of girly. Think of them as piano hands.

Fontenar [2005-06-04 05:02:19 +0000 UTC]

Kickass! He looks angry or hurt, or both...kinda like someone just made a comment about his mask, or something along those lines. And he is considering strangling them when he is done playing the violin =^.^= I love Erik.

This...rocks. The black-and-whiteness of it (monochrome, Fontenar, you dumbass....) is very visually striking, as is the composition...it makes you really focus on Erik's face and the violin. *loves it to death*

My only critique is the same as twinlady's...his hands are a bit odd. Too thin/small, I think, but then, I can't draw hands to save my unlife. One question...why is Erik wearing high heels? *blinks*

Despite the critiques, I love this piece! It's just breathtaking. And...someone....actually drew Erik in Persia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

twinlady [2005-06-04 03:33:24 +0000 UTC]

Cool... Very imposing. He looks kinda peeved off too
If I were to critique I'd say that his hands are a teensy bit out of shape, but I won't becuase if I tried to draw them they'd look like mangled spiders I hate drawing hands, of any kind, it's sooo hard!
But this is wonderful!

Oooh, badass. I love it. Glad to see such wonderful use made of Bryce. I could never quite get the hang of it. (Ahhhh! I lost my tree! Oh, it's behind the moutainous terrain...how the hell did it get there?! How can you lose something on a COMPUTER SCREEN?!!!!) Sorry. I'm supossed to be commenting, not ranting about my inability to use Bryce.

I especially like the violin-playing pose. Nicely done.
