Phantom Bloopers

🔊 Make sure nobody's around before unmuting.

Video editing had been the skill that has gotten me paid with the most frequency. I hope that no perspective client sees that this is what I do with it.

Phantom of the Opera animated short in progress! It won't be out till November because I currently am under duress, so for now, have this animated blooper reel. Believe me, I've yelled, 'Aw, Christine!' so many times that day, it's a wonder I didn't summon any ghosts.

*Jumpscares myself*

Guess who messed up AM and PM when scheduling her posts? This was posted twelve hours earlier than I intended.

He's here! The Phantom of the Opera.

Did I Google how does the phantoms mask stay on for this? This video is the result:

Well, I do have the resources to cover Purrlock in plastic wrap, but I can't follow through and make him a wig to hide the wiring as the musical's production team did. So all I could do is hope Purrlock's cheek is squishy enough to hold it. And it did!

Previous costumes include Coraline, Cheshire Cat, Dracula's Guest and Nosferatu.

The amateur historian in me is very annoyed that I forgot to link the source. C'mon, brain! Here we go again, all edited.

I could have sketched any number of lovely sweet things for the prompt "Hugs" from @purrlockholmesbooks and @nalesnik-z-morela's list.

But no.

You get Musical Erik having to cat-sit Susan Kay Erik's Siamese cat Ayesha after she had to go to the (modern era) vet.

Is she screaming about the vet? Is it because he's singing to her? Feel free to make up your own captions.

Challange accepted. Captions:

-A Strange Duet

-'No, dear, that's Christine's cake. I'll make you a better one later.'

-'Well, I don't like him either. Does he have a chandelier in his establishment?'

-'No, the Persian is not a cat. You are my one and only.'

(I give whoever can actually make sense of any of these a standing ovation.)

All I ask of you

All I ask of you from the Phantom of the Opera musical, with Erik's glowing eyes from the chapter Apollo's lyre in the book.

To me, this is the saddest song in the musical. Warning: Gut-spilling below cut!

Now I don't usually draw Erik as a regular cat; if and when I draw him furry he's a lion.

But what @purrlockholmesbooks did here inspired me to draw for you the reactions of cat!Erik on the Lyre listening to this song.

This will serve as my fulfillment of the prompt for today from Purrlock and @nalesnik-z-morela - a dream that never ends. For poor, unhappy Erik? unfortunately, it's an everlasting nightmare.

'Cat'atonic now because

-THANK YOU for making an exception and drawing Cat Erik. (I will be digging through your archives to meet Lion Erik.)

-Don't do this to me, Vlad! I already see his eyes everywhere and now you've added a devastating image to the haunting. I'll go and lie down with a tragic Victorian wasting-away disease, good-bye.
