Holy crisps.
Storyboard done. Got out the calculator, and found out I have to do around 100 panels of Cat Phantom drawings. (It's an animatic based on the song "Love me Normally")
Please regularly come to yell at me about this project because I really want to finish it, but I don't know it I have the strength to do so.
Break time. I hope you've all been secretly wanting to see Cherik in a corset because, eh, that's what's happening now.
Drawn with one brush (two if we count the sketch), one blending brush, and ten(ish) colours. The blending brush is my best friend when it comes to digital art. Pierce looked like a Muppet in makeup before blending.
I had more to say about the process, but I feel the need to go play dead for a while, so I'll leave it at that. If there's any you want to know, let me know, I'll be in my coffin.

WHAT DID I SAY? What did I say?
Original posts: Nosferatu here and Lescat here.
Thank all of you who pressed the little funny buttons!
Send this to all your favourite moots and pass the pumpkin round! KEEP THE PUMPKIN TRAIN GOING 🎃🖤🎃🖤🎃
Oh my, oh my, I got two pumpkins!
Mr Pierce took them and made a train for his rats.
For some reason, I was convinced PoTP was set in outer space. Star Trek meets Phantom of the Opera, if you will. ⚠️Mild spoilers afoot⚠️
In a way, I'm glad I was ridiculously mistaken. I felt the full shocking impact of a rockstar-biopic-style narrative turned '70s Faust fever dream. The rooftop scene was like waking up in a nightmare: the metaphor coming horribly to life.
Winslow is a great Erik/Phantom incarnation. As a writer, I'm in sympathy with him for being unable to realise his masterpiece because it's "too long" and the entertainment world doesn't care. And horrible adaptations ARE enough to drive one to notoriety, you go, Winslow. Terrible tragedy that he wasn't allowed access to Erik's gunpowder stash, he deserved it.
Beef is probably the most dramatic La Carlotta parallel to exist, and that's saying something. What in the Santa-looking heck was he wearing as a coat during his "I'm outta here" scene? Somebody Super Like You is absolutely delightful - until he started performing, that is.
Phoenix has a stunning voice and a certain something that just screams superstar.
I'm less impressed by Swan. I'm not acquainted to Paul Williams' works, so I'm speaking solely without context about his background. Personally, I don't think he has the devilish, vampiric quality I'd have liked to see in that role. That's the only letdown in the film, honestly.
Rambles about other POTO adaptations here!
Vampurr to vampurr. I've seen people wearing antique Victorian gowns to cinemas to meet the Count, but I'm afraid I'm in my hoodie.
Computer is dead, brain is rotted. The mostly hinged Phanart I'd completed is unavailable, so have some unhinged Nosferatu.
The Kitten is absolutely smitten!

The ✨️wrist thing✨️:
You captured this dummy drama vampire perfectly! 🦇🎀 Kudos to drawing two very fine hands, I was struggling with mine, haha!
Art trade with @purrlockswatson! Their original vampire character, London Pierce ♡
He's just a cutie, disaster kitten
Okay, so, my desk collapsed three times today, and OF COURSE of all the things to fall off and smash, it had to be a bottle of masking glue, and let me tell you that thing stinks.
When that was dealt with, my friend woke up and there was a lot of unawake texting and I started hyperfixating on a joint venture - all of this to say, I don't have the faculty to deal with my writing but you can have a look at the bits that are already there:

I dunno which chapter that is, help yourselves I guess I'm Undead.
Hi!
I know I've already been on haitus for a while, but well, I'll be even more haitus for the next week because I'll be travelling.
I've been having a hard time drawing anything. It's not that I have any difficulties that I can pinpoint. It just never seemed to happen. And it kept not happening.
I've been working on a new writing project, I want to say it sucks, but to be fair, it's just not what I usually like to write or even to read, so I won't insult it yet. It deserves it, though. It includes someone sucking on a raw steak. And a ferris wheel. And sad things because of course.
Anyway, enjoy this doodle that hopefully I'll find the heart to finish after next week!
Apparently, 15 years (and two, three days) ago, Love Never Dies had its first run.
Have some snarky Ramin Phantom from Devil Take the Hindmost
And why not have the Ben Lewis version, too?
I honestly didn't have to add much chaos at all, it's... what happened
More POTO cats here, a rant about LND here and more LND cats here.
Merik, put that down. You know Cherik is one second away from throwing that timer at you. You're all banned. (THANK YOU for doing this!)
A special episode of the Phantoms House sitcom!
A trade/ collab with the fantastic @purrlockswatson <333 (ily)
Our boys tend to fight A LOT, so Cherik (who’s really good at cooking and basically the chef of the house) had the unfortunate idea of proposing cooking together as a bonding activity…
It was supposed to be something simple… But things did not go very well…
After all this mayhem he has banned the other Eriks from the kitchen, if they want to cook they have to ask direct permission to him and show him a recipe and a detailed plan on how they are going to cook said thing (or beg him to cook, like Gerik usually does)
Amanda. Artist. Writer. Victorian vampire. Here lies my shenanigans.
