[Sketch Dump] Phantom of the Opera - 1


Sketch Dump -- Phantom of the Opera - 1 by ~VampiricYoshi on deviantART

At the time of drawing these I had gotten really interested in what the Phantom, or Erik, might actually look like. I settled for a very sunken in face, dry skin (almost like a mummy), a nose hole, scars that even affect his hairline, and of course golden eyes. I thought the scars would be right because of how hard I believe his childhood had to have been. I know the book describes him with little hair, but I'll be honest: I'm not a big fan of bald guys. So I have him hair, but none growing in the spot his scar reaches his hairline.

I'm fascinated with Erik because I have an unhealthy fascination with mental disorders (having a few myself). I don't know exactly what Erik has, but I think he might have a little autism that helps him to create music and design architecture. But I'm just guessing here... don't take my word for it. :/

You can post this on Tumblr, but you MUST put up a link routing back to this deviation. And please let me know if you do, yeah? :)

((I still don't know if I'm ever going to get a Tumblr account))
