Artist's Statement

Yes- have another one :XD:

Of COURSE a couple of days after I finish my first Phantom painting....out of freakin' nowhere comes this <b>masterpiece</b> of a photo of Ben Lewis: [link] Unfortunately at that resolution too, I would normally stay away from such a tiny photo (can't see much detail)...but It HAD to be done! :la: I just love how it captures exactly how he portrayed the Phantom in LND. Very dark indeed :D

Anyway; our very own Aussie Ben Lewis as The Phantom of the Opera, (or should I say, The Phantom of Coney Island) from our Melbourne-grown production of "Love Never Dies"

<sub>Photoshop CS5
This was done insanely quick in about 5 hours- just something I had to get off my chest!
Airbrush, Dodge/Burn tool for detail and Sharpen/Blur tool for finishing touches!
Also with the help of Photoshop Skin texture brushes!

<b>Love Never Dies DVD trailer: [link] <-- CAN'T WAIT! :la:

See Ben sing here: [link] <--- :faint:

Another version : :thumb278415532:
