Description Uhhh. I've always had a mild obsession with The Phantom of the Opera, ever since I read a kiddified version of the story when I was in, like, 2nd or 3rd grade ("The Phantom of the Auditorium" from the Goosebumps series), and then got my hands on the full libretto and fell in love. o__O; And I still remember that I always wanted Christine to end up with the Phantom, not that damned Raoul.

And now, the release of the movie version has resparked that obsession. Trust me; any of my friends can affirm the fact. o__o;

SO. I've combined my wolfie anthro charries Blacky and Browny into the roles of the Phantom, Blacky, and Christine, Browny. And this time the Phantom wins. (Take that, Raoul.) >>;; I don't care if the Phantom wasn't female. And even though this was inspired by the movie version, I've drawn Blacky's mask as I originally pictured it, rather than the half-mask portrayed in a lot of the current live tours and the movie.

This is also the third time I've drawn this picture. o_o; The first time was a sketch in my school sketchbook, the second time was redrawing the sketch and doing a miserable job of digitally painting it (no, really, it was BAD), and now this is the last attempt. I refuse to redo this again. x__x;

Done on Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. Clocked at about 5 hours (Yes, that's what I said; 5 friggin hours). Used 32 layers.

That's too neat. Your coloring style is very nice, and very rich in texture. The pose is, naturally, very fitting. Phantom parodies are always fun

Phantom of the Auditorium, eh? I haven't heard that one! I've just been an avid fan since I first read the book and heard some of the musical about six years ago XD The movie was nice, don't get me wrong, but I'm especially happy you did a full-faced mask. That just made my day! Yay for traditional Phantom.

And such fun characters, too :3 I
