...Pretty faces on parade.
I wanted to do a Phantom of the Opera piece, and here it is. I also wanted to make something darker than I usually make, it was a challenge. Still don't know if I quite did it right. But I've been rather disappointed with how people portray the character of the Phantom. He was dark, he was messed up, especially when he busts out the Red Death costume and threatens the lives of all lest they satisfy his greed. I like this piece, and I don't. I don't feel that I lived up to the original image in my mind at all... and it's because I don't f***ing know how to paint. DX I put a good amount more effort and finesse than I have in the last few pieces I've done... but all of that seems lost to me. The rendering is not up to par for me. I don't know anymore. You tell me what you think. Pencil, Photoshop CS2, 10 hours textures at [link] Can you find some familiar faces? |

This is a very unique vision of the POTO masquerade. Mean mostly these masks in the bacground... What more... The atmosphere! So dark! Just wonderfull! Definitely a fav!

I love how yo drew the big long cape. Good Job (Y)
Now, critical: sorry..
You can actually be too dark, I think too much shadow has invaded the picture. He was a Villian in his own right, but only after everything was taken from him. His home was dark, but had splashes of light, lovely things from his past.. but they were often in corners or shadows, places he didn't have to look directly at.
His costume is wonderful and the salon of Masks is a wonderful touch, I love masks myself, just can draw one to save my butt.
So, thats my $1.50s worth, I hope it helps.

Though, true, I could lighten it up a bit, but the background is pretty damn cheesy by itself... so I don't want it too visible. decisions decisions.
