I greatly prefer the POTO productions that replace Christine’s second kiss with a hug.
Cause what really does the Phantom in isn’t that a beautiful girl is willing to kiss him, it’s that no one has ever recognized that he’s a person and has the same needs, aspirations, desires, etc, as everyone else. It gets across that he’s unaccustomed to and amazed by ANY affection, not just romantic.
I don’t really see this interpretation much anywhere but I think the fact she’s doing this for Raoul’s sake is actually part of his change of heart. First of all, I’m certain by that point he was convinced that Christine was going to say no and save herself instead, but she doesn’t. She’s not only willing to sacrifice herself to save Raoul, an incredible act of love and selflessness, but she recognizes the horrors the Phantom had to experience to become so cruel and chooses to give herself up for his sake too. Instead of simply agreeing to stay with him with as much coldness as she can muster.
He has every reason to believe the only reason empathy exists is because there are people who just haven’t learned they must be selfish to survive. But Christine still did what she did after clearly losing her innocence. Even though she’s grown to understand the cruelty of the world and is now capable of true malice, greed, and hate, she chooses not to use them despite having every right to. She’s no longer naive, and she is still kind. That’s something the Phantom didn’t think was possible until now.
Raoul after Christine gives him some attention (and kisses him all over the face) (bonus points if he was actually turned into a dog) (I need someone to draw Raoul himself with kisses all over his face tho 😭 wish I could draw)
I don’t actually know how to draw Garroth’s hair :,)
help this video was the most specific callout of all time
a sketch I did cos I wanted to experiment with how "opposite" I can make them look
you know the drill. yap session below
eponine's angular face vs Cosette's rounder face. I wanted to use this to highlight the struggles eponine has gone through since her childhood. also by using rounder, sleeker lines to draw cosette I thought it could give a more romantic impression, if that makes sense
gave cosette doll eyes to suggest Valjean's been spoiling her to the point that she has been treated like a doll. ep's sharper eyes are more catlike. could be a nod to the hardened life since her family's been living in poverty since shes all squares and hard lines now. I thought it also gave her a very alert look. a nod to her participation in the patron minette
I wanted to give ep's hair a bit of a clumpy look
cosette has thick eyebrows because I love thick eyebrows
if I ever choose to colour this I’d use colder/faded colours for ep and more saturated colours for cosette
