Got Erik?
Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:22 pm
I meant to do a normal (if that word can be used to describe him) Erik, sans mask, on Artpad. Halfway through, I made a mistake in colour choice (which you can't see, I undid it) and... well, it got away with me...

*shakes finger* Not until you spell his name right!
I also came up with a commercial idea which I am afraid only works with bookverse Erik. Because he's the only one who has to take off the mask to eat or drink anything.
BALLET RATS run, shrieking and flailing about, towards the camera.
Diagonal shot, BALLET RATS fleeing cont. Camera 'walks' down opposite direction of fleeing BALLET RATS, stops. View of empty operahouse hall. Sudden music-- DUNNN! DUNDUNDUNDUN DUHHHH! Music interrupted by loud whistle, whisper.
ERIK'S VOICE: Psst! I'm up here!
Camerashot moves up the wall to where ERIK (Bookverse) is standing on a doorframe. Music starts again. DUNNN! DUNDUNDUNDUN DUHHHH!
ERIK: Ah, another day haunting the good ol' operahouse.
He adjusts his suit.
ERIK: But you know, life is difficult for a walking skeleton. Without the right nutrition, these ol' bones could break during one of my insane, murderous escapades, and, well, that'd be that!
He removes his hat in a gentlemanly manner.
ERIK: That's why I make sure to drink plenty of milk! Milk is rich in calcium, to keep these bones strong and able to do what an opera ghost needs to do!
He removes his mask, revealing ULTIMATE FUGLINESS, and takes a drink of milk.
Erik: (Smiling) Got Milk?
Oh man. I want to film that. XD

Fweee! Real Erik! I would like to see that commercial. It would make me laugh forever. Really.
I like Gerard, but he can't sing to save his life. Poor guy.

Agreed, but that doesn't cancel out the fact that he's very pretty to look at. :3 It's the same reason why my guy friends watch Jessica Simpson's rendition of "These Boots are Made for Walking" with the volume on mute.

Same... my computer won't load it because it was being very slow and unresponsive.. and I have high speed!
Could you take a screencap and show us the finished product, in either *.JPG or *.PNG format?
