Would It Be Silly Of Me To Make A Comic? Would Anyone Be Interested?

Would it be silly of me to make a comic? Would anyone be interested?

Obligatory rushed photo and blurry image.

Bad sketches. You get mounds of 'em before you get something you get something decent.

You might as well get them out now so the good comes sooner(is that how it works?)

What do you think the ballerinas are chatting about?

I hope you have a good day, whoever you are. 😊

☆ 🌈🍓🦋💖 🎊 🪩 for the game!! {Sorry for the six emojis I got excited 😅}

Whaaat???? No! There is no need to apologize! This'll be fun!(Sorry for the long ramble you're about to witness!)

🌈 I think that Erik could fall in love with anyone. When he loves someone, he loves them deeply(and a bit obsessively.. Uh.. Yikes..) He just wants to be loved back. I could see him having a slight preference for women, just cause of the time, but, you know, it's not as if he's been perfectly socialized.

🍓Oh snap.. I don't really know trope names.

Probably love at first sight(sound?), at least on Julien's end.

Secret admirer? Is that a trope?

That's my best answer as of this very moment. 👍

🦋Okay! Cool! A bit of background context, Julien is an actor and was trying to land a performing job at the Opera, but his voice didn't meet the requirements.. And he was instead hired as technical help(He brought a resume).

He becomes the opera's newest painter!

Technically, their first interaction was a note left by Erik?

Something along the lines of:

I SEE THEY HAVE HIRED A NEW PAINTER... IF I MAY OFFER ANY ADVICE, DON'T POKE FUN AT CARLOTTA, IT IS WHAT HAD YOUR PREDECESSOR THROWN FROM THIS VERY ROOM.

THE REST MAY WAIT TILL YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF PROPERLY ACQUAINTED AT OUR FINE OPERA HOUSE.

DON'T GO STICKING YOUR NOSE WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG, AND YOU'LL BE FINE.

-O.G.

However, the first time they speak is when Julien goes to fetch some paint and brushes, and a voice speaks to him. He can't figure out where it's coming from, but he finds himself lost in its sound almost immediately.

💖 Julien's favorites for Erik are "Sweet Erik" or "Dear Erik", his favorite to be called are "Mon cher", and "Cherie"

Julien starts his letters with "Always Dearest Erik,"

🎊Mmm... Probably Erik? Julien is not very good at remembering dates. I think he'd keep a journal of them, just to be sure he'd have a gift for Erik or a date planned or something!

I think Erik would go all out for that kind of thing, composed songs, the whole day reserved, a night with the stars!

🪩Elevators were fairly new at this time, and I'm pretty sure they were a wealth thing.. So Julien would be very nervous. Probably would have never been on one. Squeezing Erik's hand for dear life.

I could picture Erik being excited to be the 'knight in shining armor' in this situation!

💛

This was SOSO fun! Thank you so much!

Praying that my characterization seemed right!

I hope you have a good day, whoever you are. 😊💛

If you see posts appearing and disappearing from my blog, it's my indecisiveness afoot.

What if I hurt one character's feelings when I post about another?

Featuring a doodled Leroux Erik.

I hope you have a good day, whoever you are. 😊

I think I've been thinking too hard about art.

So, quick 2-3 minute doodles to just, splat ideas onto the paper. No stress for perfection, just fun.

😊 I hope your day is going well, whoever you are.

@mandm-cringe I drew Thalia in a dress inspired by the period-accurate pictures you selected!

Does Thalia have a job at the opera house? How did she/you and Erik meet?
