Tried To Draw Like Erik.

Tried to draw like Erik.

I was really, deeply torn on this.. I couldn’t decide whether his art would be crude, like how his handwriting is described or if it's something he's more familiar with..

Cause I feel like it could be either. Maybe it's both, or Julien teaches him, and he slowly picks up art. 👍

As always, this is extremely self-indulgent.(Can you tell I do NOT practice realism like I should? Julien uses a fake mustache, by the way.)

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

Erik when Christine:

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

I did a redraw. This one was made with the info from the ask game!

I always wonder if my posts make you sad. 🥲

Also, confession. My headvoice ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL, pronounces your user 'mandom' cringe.

I don't. Know. Why.

2, 6 and 9 for the ask game! :D

2- Julien comes in about a year post-canon!

I picture the story would open to him at the doors of the Opera, speaking with Firmin for the first time and being led to the room he'll be staying in, but I don't have anything written for it at the moment!

6-No pets, but he befriends stray cats and dogs!(Notably a black cat that he's named "Charbons", a bloodhound he's named "Scout" and a retriever puppy he named "Elodie")

9-As aforementioned, he takes on a sort of brotherly role to the corps de ballet.. Julien is on good terms with most people but isn't particularly 'close' to anyone? He likes to be there for others but has trouble letting others be there for him. It doesn't help that it takes so long for everyone to warm up to him. He comes off as overzealous, and, you know, he's way poor compared to his peers and colleagues.

He obviously gets very attatched to Erik, but I'd also say he's very close to Meg, Little Jammes, aaaand the daroga(?).

He's very chipper towards Firmin in spite of the negative view of his management.

I picture he and Christine would be good acquaintances if they ever met..

THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR THE ASKS 😊💛

I didn't proofread.. So, I hope everything's a-okay! 👍

These make my day every time!

for the ask game, 5 and 13 :]

Hihi! Sorry for the late response.

5- Julien does not have any powers.. But he's a jack of all traits in the theatre world(a jack of all traits is a master of none, but still better than a master of one). He sucks at set building, though. Just can't get the measurements right.

You can find 13 in a previous ask!

Thank you always for the asks!! 💛

Snippet of a sketch.

☆ 1, 3, 8 and 10 for the ask game you just put up, lol :)

GAH! Yay!! 🥹🥹💛

1: Julien Alcantara, 12/04/1859, he is 23, uhh He's about 5'4, 5'5, his dad is a carpenter, and his mother is a seamstress.. Uhh.. He got into acting cause of a stageplay he was a part of in grade school.(Not all this information necessarily aligns with me)

3: He's taken on a sort of older brother figure to the corps de ballet. They'll hide behind him when they get spooked, poke playful fun at him.. But other than that, it really varies group to group. Most have a neutral to positive view, with a few outliers. He's liked among coworkers, you know?

8: He is a transman and sooommeewhere on the ace spectrum(?) But he's not open about either, many terms didn't exist at this time, and acceptance was often the latter of hit or miss.

10: It's not out in the open, so it's up for others to speculate.

💛☺️🥹Thank you always for the questions!(I hope this covers everything.)
