The insomniac sleeps after all 😴 (and I’m not talking about myself)

Inspired by @brendadaaedestler

Do you know your power over me?

Did that boy feel the same when he met you?

How I wish I’d met you before him,

So I can have you all to myself.

Is it truly so wrong,

to want something you know you can’t have?

Despite it all,

whenever you so lovingly gaze at the ring around your neck,

I force myself to suppress my utmost desires.

So now, I’ll content myself with brushing the snow off your head and shoulders,

Marveling at your beauty and the way you look at me.

Erik you sure have a twisted way of thinking… 🥀

How intense can eye contact be for a seasoned professional to mess up?

Erik, you really shouldn’t let your personal feelings affect your work 😓

Bonus:

Christine: Really…? But he’s always all smiles whenever I see him at the bar…

Despite Carlotta being a regular at The Rosy Hours, Erik will not tolerate anyone who presents even a hint of dislike towards Christine. (He still made Nadir call Piangi and made sure Carlotta went home with him safely)

Our very first fully colored and rendered piece of mixologist/bartender Erik with Christine! Many thanks to @apileofpans for your help with the perspective (cuz I know I suck at it lol). I don’t have a concrete storyline planned out for these two, but I already have a bunch of WIPs with these two, so I guess you guys can look forward to that! Of course, I would love to know what you guys think about this au and your spin on their story! 🫶

What’s more bittersweet than staying up late to make chocolate roses specifically for your crush and her boyfriend, because you know she deserves nothing but the very best? 🥀

Erik’s Pre-Shift Ritual

Plus the mandatory individual close-ups:

Also, on the topic of Erik’s forearms (I mean honestly, when are we not talking about his forearms), I decided to draw a reenactment of my brother’s lecture about the attractiveness of forearms, with Erik as the example:

[phantom-margaritas]

One of Erik’s favorite ways to unwind after his shift is to just play with his darling Ayesha. However, despite the array of toys he bought her, she still seems to prefer his forearm him more.

I would also like to extend my thanks to my brother (it’s his birthday today! 🎉), who sat me down and lectured me about the correlation between how high the sleeve is and the attractiveness of the arm (bicep, forearm, and hand included). So, if you guys find the forearms to be more attractive than before, you know who to thank! 😉

[phantom-margaritas]

Can I request more artwork of Erik with his sleeves rolled up? 👀🙏🏻

Well, with all the… enthusiastic responses I received from my last drawing, it would be rude of me not to draw more of him. Besides, I think I should let him say his thanks himself.

When he realized that there are people attracted to his masked appearance and his talented hands (*cough* the phandom *cough cough*), he switched over to being a mixologist/bartender.

He also learned that he could make 20,000 francs a day from tips only instead of 20,000 francs a month from the managers. In addition, he gets to make his own work playlist.
