Description
My submission for the time travel contest by:I decided to do something different... instead of showing Erik traveling through time, I'm attempting to answer the question "what would Erik do if he could travel through time?" And alas, I'm sure Erik ponders the question himself. So here's a drawing that pays a little homage to the film "Somewhere in Time" so if you can hum the theme song in your head while you look at this, my work is complete.
The "where" is in Erik's mind. The "when" is post-Christine.
Erik is in black and white because he is in the present, while Christine is in color because she is in the past.
Critique, comment, and enjoy!
EDIT: I just realized it looks like Christine wants to give Erik a handshake. OUCH.

Whoah, this a simply beautiful piece! It gets my vote, Darth - amazing film homage, and the detail (as so many other comments have said) is exquisite!

I LOVE the frame of roses!
As always, your attention to detail astounds. The roses, Christine's dress and hair, it's all just amazing.

This is lovely! I love what you did with the background! It's really elegant, and the image is great too, really poignant. It's a really touching piece, it looks like a really delicate moment.

This is so beautiful, and so sad, because unfortunately for Erik, Christine can only love him in lover-like fashion in his imagination (except for fanfiction.
Amazing work! Especially Christine's hair, and the little roses.

AUGH I MISSED YOUR POTO CHIBIS. You honestly have no idea. xDDDD
But this is so saaaaaaad... And the idea is awesome! I kind of want to steal it, but that would be just that. Stealing. Besides, I bet anything I couldn't do it as well as you do. ^^ This is really, really super-pretty, and I love it a lot. Particularly the rose frame, but I have a weakness for roses. And black-and-white. Hey, that could be part of why I like this so much. Or maybe it's just because you are a freaking awesome artist or--
... Sorry. Ranting again.

This is absolutely lovely! Your chibis are always adorable and I love how you not only manage to make this scene just as such, but it's also very touching. The framing is gorgeous, by the way.

That dress looks a lot like Emmy Rossum's in the movie, do you specifically base your 'Christine's off of her? Or were you just going for like a center ground of all of them and it ended up looking like hers?
You always draw the Phantom so adorably. ;0;

thanks so much! This is based off the movie, yes. Often times I base it off the stage show, but I also love the movie.

B'awww, that's beautiful. The detail along the sides is really, really, really gorgeous. Poor, sweet Erik.
GASP that song? (I hate that movie, actually, but that song has been one of my favorites for aaaaaages and ages, far before I ever saw the movie.) Y'mean Rachmaninoff's Variations on a Theme by Paganini? [link] (no idea what the point of the slideshow is for; it's the music that's the issue.)
I LOVE THAT SONG. I always get thrills when the violins come in. Every. Single. Time.

Oh my gosh, my high school drama teacher talked about this movie EVERY year, using the analogy of the ending scene to try and make kids more dedicated to the high school shows she directed.
I wish you luck in the contest! ^-^
