Description
Ok, this was a submission for PFN's "period Phantom" competition. I decided to go with the pomp and circumstance of the 18th century because the dramatic sihlouettes of tricorns and inverness capes really lend themselves to the intrigue of the Opera Ghost. Also, it was common practice for mache' masks to be worn for many different occasions.Related content

I have to say, this is probably one of the best portraits of the Phantom I've ever seen. You really captured the scariness of his eyes! Excellent job!

"your money or your life!" came the eerie cry. fletcher stopped in his caravan in time to see the masked figure apparate onto the road, his jacket flapping in the wind. fletcher looked into those soulless, empty eyes and knew that they would be the last thing he ever saw...

I love the intensity in his eyes, and his outfit looks absolutely amazing: I can almost hear the wind rushing through the trees.
Bravo!

Oh man. I remember this poem from way back in high school. "The Highwayman" is so tragic and beautiful--just like your interpretation of Phantom. Your detail work on the costume is fabulous. +Fav.

Ah, nooo....everybody with his body type looks great in those clothes::laughs:: I had little but sketching to do with it.
::The Highwayman Opera Ghost shrinks from the lantern's glare, narrowing his eyes:: Firstly, it is only a 'good' evening to those who haven't yet realized that it is sorely not.....secondly...::raises his flintlock:: Holdups. Your purse please...
He's just as surly as his 1880's counterpart::grins::However, he's a little more brash.

*just gives a small chuckle with a hint of malvolence in her eyes* Sorry monsieur...you shouldn't try that..I'm not the kind of person to go down without a fight.. *before he knows it a rapier is almost pressed to his throat but the look on Gaetana's face remains that of a kind and gentle nature* I'm just asking if you need a place to say or something I'd be more than likely to help.. *bows* I am Gaetana..

*Gaetana just looks around and blinks* Okaaay...monsiuer..you are the weirdest person I've ever met...but I'm not one to talk.. *she chuckles then continues walking then sings to herself in a haunting yet beautiful tone*
