:icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz:

"Of love...daroga...I am dying...of love...That is how it is.... loved her so!...And I love her still...daroga...and I am dying of love for her, I...I tell you!...If you knew how beautiful she was... when she let me kiss her...alive...It was the first...time, daroga, the first...time I ever kissed a woman.... Yes, alive....I kissed her alive ...and she looked as beautiful as if she had been dead"
-Erik (Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux) [link]

For :iconphantomfans:'s Contest: Phantom Redeux

I've been working on it while listening to the BBC's radio version of POTO - which was what inspired me in the first place. The part where Erik speaks to the Daroga at the end - it always makes me weep. And I really missed that part in the ALW's movie - one of my favourite parts from the book and I yet need to find it visualized.

Of course there are more things I wish were different in ALW's musical, but I believe that it would have to be named Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera afterward... So I picked just ONE thing - that's why there's Madame Giry and not Nadir, and I tried Erik to look like ALW's Phantom (from the stage, not movie - as much as I, this may surprise some, love Mr. Butler in the role, you must admit he looks way too handsome - even for a "Devil's Child")

Hope you like it.

Phantom of the Opera belongs to Gaston Leroux and Andrew Lloyd Webber
