Ok, Ok, I know.... It's not the normal Phantom of the Opera look. I wanted to try something different since it's over the Susan Kay version of the story. I wanted to make it look kind of like a circus "freak show" poster since Erik was a sideshow at one of those. It really messed him up badly and gave him a phobia of cages. I intended to make the floor look more like a pool of blood to represent that his first murder was to escape from the fair... (I wish I could have gotten the reflections in there that I wanted...*sigh*)
Anyway, the masks... welllll I really don't think I need to go into the symbolism of the masks...
All, in all, i guess it was worth the time it took to draw it. I just hope that you guys like it! ^_^
Susan Kay really is amazing. You did a beautiful job. I HATE reading books I cant stand it but Phantom I have read 8-10 times (and I am a REALLY slow reader because I like to read it as if you were reading it to someone) well...I dont hate books as much as I say I am just a teenager and cant help my self.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

Angst? The Germans invented 'angst'.
Pessimism- just another word for pattern recognition.
