My entry for the contest with the theme of Phantom of the Opera characters in historical costume or costumes from other musicals - I went with historical. ;)

This is a decided redo of an earlier drawing of mine, with a bit more emphasis on historical accuracy in the details of the uniform (Based on a Nazi SS officer's, of course). The cape, of course, was added by me since you simply can't have Erik without a cape!

Regarding the wings, I was thinking along the lines of the fact that in the original Phantom story, Erik masquerades as an angel to conceal his true nature. Thus, having this version of Erik standing in front of the Nazi eagle emblem, thus giving him the illusion of wings while concealing the swastika held by the eagle, was a visual metaphor for his deception.

Oh yeah, for those who didn't see my previous incarnation:

Both images were inspired by the character of SS Sturmbannfuhrer Erik von Helm in the fanfic 'Das Phantom von Deutschland' which can be found on FFN at: [link]

Done on cardboard with pencil, colored pencil, pen, markers, tempera paint, and acrylic paint.

What hurts the most is being so close, and having so much to say.. and watching you walk away. And never knowing what could've been, and not seeing that loving you was what I was trying to do.

Whoa-hoa, this is so cool. I must say, I find this quite irresistible seeing that you've combined two of my main interests in one picture. A definite fav.
OMG! I hope you win! This is one of the most unique ideas I have seen. I love those outfits!
This is amazing. Very well done.
