Erik, my favorite literary character of all time. I didn't like how he was portrayed in the movie, so I painted my own vision of him.
This was tough, since I painted it on canvas, and canvas and watercolor are NOT made for each other. It lifts so easily that I had to put up a warning sign when it was drying. And let me tell you, that cup of water made me very nervous.
Watercolor on canvas/Photoshop.

Im not entirely intrigued by the Phantom of the Opera(seems kinda pretentious and eyroll-worthy to me, but wtf do I know?) but I like your rendition of it. .. I like his hand. hey! thats a good hand! Heh
I think you're pretty good at colors and blending them and the detail in this is phenomenal. his right eye looks really cool. And what a pretty rose! The detail in it is lovely! This is a nice painting, good job.

MMmm... beautiful. Such wonderful flow, organic and stylish - just as watercolour should be. You make me want to bust out my paints and churn out another one of my terribly hap-hazard paintings. Though, I do so think it'd resemble Frankenstein's monster rather than the Phantom.
Beautiful, wonderful work =).

Awesome picture, I'm a huge Phantom of the Opera fan so I like this a lot.
You've really captured him here.

Very inspired work. Beautiful, and very true to the original character of Erik.
WOW!!!
This is amazing!
I didn't care for the movie much either but I saw the musical on stage many years ago. I actually prefer Susan Kay's novel a bit more that the orginal Gaston Leroux but maybe that's because it's the full tale of his life and it's easier to understand him from that.
