Ok, so this is my contest entry for :iconphantom-of-da-opera: 's latest contest, to illustrate a lyric from any show. I chose ALW, I'm most familiar with it out of all the versions. I chose the lyric "Wildly My mind beats against you...Yet the soul obeys!" It's one of my favorites in my favorite scene in the movie.
I think it really defines Christine: she wants so badly for her father to be with her again, or to have sent her an Angel of Music, she's willing to continue to delude herself. She's not stupid, she's human. It's kind of surprising what you can convince yourself to believe if you want it badly enough. I think the line also shows her relationship with our lovely Phantom, she knows what he is, but something inside her still wants to believe in him and trust him, even though she knows better.
I made Erik standing in front of a statue of two angels with their wings outstretched, and a lantern overhead to make him seem more angelic to her. I would believe he was an angel maybe, if this is how he appeared. :D
So yeh, I hope you like it. I did it in acrylics and it took literally forever. This was my first attempt at acrylics, and I think...I hate them. Lol, watercolor is so much easier! I know, practice makes perfect, let's just say I'm not going to practice on more acrylics for a while. Sorry if the pic isn't great, I had to take a picture with my camera, and it was mean to me.

I do not own Phantom of the Opera, I just love it :)

OH MY GOD!! -dies of love- Such a beautiful phantom picture. This image made my gloomy day brighter. Now I must go listen to A.L.W because of this picture. Keep up the good work, your skill is madly awesome.
thanks! lol, i literally JUST finished it, when i took the pic, the paint was still wet :). I'm glad you like, I'm really happy with it
Of course. I worship all things phantom of the opera. Im a Phantom Phan. Hehe. You've got true skill, I'm going to try working with paint soon, and you should be proud of this image.
i watched poto last night (in which i havent done for a while) and i still cry throughout the entire movie. such words and music are magnificent. besides my love for him is like a chorus of angels singing halelulla and or one solid note like in those cartoons or dorky movies... when you find something or someone and its like heavensent ...(yeah i'm speaking nonsense. anyways yeah its all good love your picy ... poto forever...

Phantom: its either stay locked up in bars up there or stay behind curtans down here
ME: how do you keep in touch with the world then?
Phantom: dont i, or am i wrong for thinking that a woman is only that of what a man desires to have as his world?
Lovely! Wow, your first attempt? I never would have guessed, it looks amazing!

I love the symbolism with the statue wings behind him. Something about this reminds me of a movie poster: so much is going on, and it makes you want to know more!

Bravo, and good luck in the contest!
