Description
After looking at your guys' feedback, and after ruminating over these characters (who are my BABIES, ALL OF THEM!!)... I've made a few edits to my character designs!
I made no changes to Erik, because he was perfect.
EDITS:
1) Christine got blonde hair! That's the most noticeable change. I was excited in giving her brown hair for my version of the Leroux novel, but after re-reading some of the book, and after some further brainstorming, I realized that I, too, imagine Leroux-Christine blonde, and that it has its own aesthetic beauty and symbolism in and of itself. I don't want to go against tradition, or general expectations of what a Leroux-faithful adaptation would be like. And I'm excited to return to my original concept anyhow.
You Leroux purists won me over!
2) THEY GOT NOSES. I mean... Erik still doesn't have a nose beneath that mask... ... But now Christine and Raoul do!
I know this may not seem like a dramatic shifting in my style, but it IS LET ME TELL YOU. Still, for this project, I don't see how it truly alters the essence of my designs. And I figured, if the nose works so well on Erik's mask, why can't it work on everyone else? They're tiny little lines. And I just hope they don't look like mustaches. :/ LOL.
Tell me what you guys think! I love your input. On to more characters... Daroga's up next, among others.

Yay - someone who actually READS the book!! Love the detail and accuracy - although Raoul should have his stupid little moustache but I believe it has been said so.
But yay, blonde Christine!! And Erik with a full mask
P.S: I'm kinda new here and I've been doing some fanart too... technically I love musicals and I would be really, really glad if you could come see some of my works and maybe even comment and stuff? Thank you so, so, so much!
