Pharoga Cowboy time!! Put up the first chapter! I will write more, don’t know how many chapters I will do though

This is art that I commissioned of @royalavera to do for my RDR AU a while ago and now I finally got a fanfic up for it hehe

You don’t need to play the game to understand it, I only used location names and sorta references

[royalavera]

heeeeey about your comic. Where does it take place (e.g. is it in a particular state? Will it be in Mexico City?) And can you give some examples of which historical figures will be present? No worries if these can't be answered for spoiler-y or practical reasons <3 Keep it up!

Thanks for the question! Briefly, it will initially take place in a part of Puebla, but the main story is set in Mexico City. The era is the 18XXs, and it features several anachronisms with certain historical figures and events.

I can't reveal the historical characters, but I can mention that Porfirio Díaz will appear as president.

Although the story is set in Mexico City, several buildings are taken from other cities, so it's a mix of everything. It's a period fantasy version of Mexico.

"Lonely never more" The month of ghosts is finally here! What are your costume plans?

The comic is still in the works, I can't wait to show you the story.

I'll be sharing a few things about the progress, so be my guest if you have any questions!🍍

[royalavera]

They're back!

[royalavera]

Ohh, love the designs! May I ask what's different about your adaptation? Or is that something we would have to find out when u publish it hshs sorry I'm new to ur page!!

No problem! This version takes place in Mexico 18XX. It introduces new characters based on real historical figures and includes two mini stories revolving around the Opera House and the Phantom. In this adaptation, he isn’t a villain but rather a powerful figure who helps struggling artists achieve their dreams for mysterious reasons, think of him more like Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon.

The story focuses more on Christine’s journey and her romance with the mysterious man. They become partners in these mini-adventures 😉, so there will be plenty of cute scenes between them.

The characters still share some traits with their original versions, but their motives and the lessons they must learn are different.

One very important thing is the effect of music. Showing sound in a comic is tricky, but I found a pretty crazy way to make it look amazing. I hope you’ll like it when the comic comes out.

Hi! I was curious about your phantom of the mountains of music comic, is it still in works? Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for asking, I'm still working on it.

It's my first time making a comic, I'm trying to do my best but I keep encountering interesting problems and things that I should have learned to do before like backgrounds. You're going to see a difference in the quality of the first pages compared to the rest of them, I'm getting better at it.

This is a little scene from the first episode, I still need to color it.

And this is how a colored image from the comic looks like. Christine and Meg!! What do you thing about Meg's design?

Also an old friend helped me with the design of the opera house and even made a 3D model of it.

Since the story happens in Mexico we can't have the Garnier UwU

My progress is sluggish at the time but it's gonna get faster as I go, I'm trying to give as much quality as possible.

Would you ever try drawing Richard White Erik? I love your 1990 Phantom fanart, and I'd love to see you do something for the musical it was based on.

Sounds like a good idea, it never crossed my mind, thank you.

I'll draw Richard White's version soon

[royalavera]

Can you tell me what size you usually use for your canva?

It depends, if it's a desktop background I begin with 1920x1080, if it is a normal post then I use 1080x1080 pixels, I use these sizes only for the sketch.

When I get to the lineart phase I enlarge it to 7,000x7,000 pixels more or less.

[royalavera]

Is it your art? Looks like your art. Found it on Pinterest. Can't find it here.

Yeah, I post more stuff on my IG, I forget to post here a lot. Here it is!

[royalavera]

Have you seen the new nosferatu movie yet? The characters would look absolutely fantastic in your style! 😍😍

Not yet, I want to see it!! OAO

[royalavera]

Redraw of my first Poto fanart! My style has changed a lot since 2021, thanks for sticking for so long.Also first post of the year, glad to be back

Last post not related to Phantom of the Opera. My two favorite doctors who just happen to be talented goth old and depressed men with marks on their faces, people don't trusth them because they're weird but they just want to be loved.

[hey-applehead]

My proudest starlet, would you like to give your master an autograph?

[royalavera]

A gift for myself, I always wanted an animated wallpaper. I decided to take a break from the Phantom of the Opera and chose another emo, goth, depressed but very talented man, who has a mark on his face, people don't trust him because he's weird but he just wants to be loved. So no better choice than Black Jack and Kiriko, his rival, who's another emo, goth, depressed but very talented man, who has a mark on his face, people don't...
