Artist's Statement

Our very own Aussie <b>Ben Lewis</b> as The Phantom of the Opera, (or should I say, The Phantom of Coney Island) from our Melbourne-grown production of <i>"Love Never Dies"</i>

Based mainly off this picture: [link]
I had to work with it a lot. Ben looks totally different in make-up and with the appropriate lighting, his features magically become a lot sharper [link] [link] :laughing:

Amazing performer, that Ben Lewis. Definitely up there with Anthony Warlow. I had the privilege of seeing him live and he received a well deserved standing ovation (which is a BIG thing because Melbourne theater goers- even though we LOVE our shows- come off as rather silent and almost unenthusiastic sometimes.) We don't scream, woo or whistle....but he received the whole package then! Go Ben!

Airbrush, Dodge/Burn tool for detail and Sharpen/Blur tool for finishing touches!
Also with the help of Photoshop Skin texture brushes!
