Description

:megaphone: ((WARNING!!!! THIS IS OLD ART!!!!!!)) :megaphone:

I was just browsing through my computer... when I found this drawing and realized to my dismay that I never submitted it here on DA!

I would say I drew this in 2006. And if you look back to the very first deviations here, those were "submitted" in 2007, but likely drawn in 2006. What's curious about this one is that many of my drawings in early 2006 were simply "sketches" and had no backgrounds. Then in late 2006 I started using screencaps from the 2004 film so I could color those detailed backgrounds you see in deviations like "No One Would Listen": [link]

But this guy is sort-of an in-between-- a "missing link" in the evolution of my Phantom cartoon art. It's a lightly-colored half-hearted attempt, and I probably did everything off the top of my head. (Look at Raoul's pockets-- what is going on there?!?!)

And perhaps you haven't seen too much of my VERY OLD cartoon art (half a year's difference from what I started submitting here...) but I used to like adding captions, quotes or my own poetic little observations into my cartoons. It was sometimes just a word or two like "beautiful" or "unseen genius" next to different "moods" of Erik. Maybe I should submit some examples so you can laugh at my 13/14-year-old sappiness.

So for this drawing I added the lines "You'll guard me and you'll guide me" and you can guess why I added emphasis on those certain words... ;D

ENJOY! And I hope during spring break to come up with some decent NEW artwork. :)
