Artist's Comments

Hehehe I finished it finally. I suppose I could make art this nice all the time if I had more patience. >_> PLEASE FULL VIEW... I worked this thing over like hell.

Anyhow, this is from Gaston Leroux's novel "The Phantom of the Opera". Erik fleeing down the cellars in his last desperate attempt to win over Christine (or kill everyone). I do love how Erik looks in the book more than having a random acid burn on one side of his face as he has in the musical... it's as though when he was maturing as a fetus all the blood and nutrients went to his mind while his body slowly died... to look like a cadaver after he was born. Ah, such a lovely story.

OMG PREEEEETTY! And I have never seen an auburn Christine before, or at least that's how it looks.

People are more afraid of public speaking than of death; so basically the guy giving the eulogy at a funeral would rather be the one in the box.
