Aw oops I did more Fairytale AU Phantom of the Opera

Raoul is the fair elven noble crushing on the sad but talented forest waif Christine(now with musicalChristine-like hair)

and nothing bad ever happened to them

We make a lot of fun of Raoul for not keeping his hand at the level of his eyes, which is what makes this moment so heartbreaking for me. Here, he does remember, but chooses to put his hand down to comfort Christine, making himself vulnerable to attack, because he can’t see Christine upset and not try to help. The Phantom sees this and takes advantage of Raoul’s moment of weakness, motivated by a selfless love that, at this point, he still can’t understand. I’ve only seen Raoul do this once, but I wish it happened more often, because it only adds to the emotional pain of the Final Lair. [source]

More messy Phantom sketches. Admittedly, it’s been a while since I read the entire book, so I don’t know how accurate these are. Also I had to sneak in the Broadway Masquerade suit because it’s amazing and so is Raoul.

Masquerade!

“Hide your face so the world will never find you,”

Here’s another set of my drawings inspired by my favorite musical, The Phantom of the Opera, along with a beautiful poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar. 

Thanks to @rubbersoles19 and @thebreenutgallery for their support and reassurance that yes, all the crosshatching is worth it.

SO here’s modern Raoul being a badass as usual. I’m experimenting with a new style (more like new technique).

Raoul: People are constantly asking me “what’s it like to be a sex-“

Another portrait headed off to New York. It’s a bit rough, but Raoul doesn’t get enough love so I’m glad anyway. Made for @purple-mullet , and so much thanks to her for everything she’s doing for me.
