Phantom of the Opera

Description

Lon Chaney is without doubt, in my mind anyway, the greatest Phantom of them all.
The original Universal film directed by Rupert Julian (the first major New Zealand director) of Gaston Leroux's book was fantastic. The mood and the lighting was insane.

This piece was mostly done in brush and I left it open because I am intending to go in and work on it some more with charcoal.

Lon Chaney freaking tortured his face for this part.  And it looks oh-so-good.
Yeah, I own the original film too - I love it.  All you want in an atmospheric black and white.
An excellent depiction, good sir!  I'm liking that pure negative space.
