To that special person who now owns this one of a kind Erik -
Phantom --he's coming home.

The following is when it began...sometime in April 06

Welcome to my Phantom of the Opera Doll
creation-in-progress.

A brand new one of a kind Erik doll that I offered for auction on eBay.

On this page are progress photos with new added -


This handsome chap has kindly agreed to step in and model as an example of some of my other work but the one I'm currently making is very different which I'll explain in a moment.

Also, the new doll will be posed differently and will be holding the bridal veil in one hand and beckoning to Christine with the other.

Some of you may know that I usually create 18-inch Phantom dolls with a cloth body and clay head, mask, hands and shoes.

The new doll is nearly 10-inches (25cm) tall but has a fully sculpted clay body. (The one above is only 6 inches tall and all clay, painted).

But, like the 18-inch dolls the new one will be dressed in a real tailor made fabric tuxedo and removable mask, revealing Erik's sad disfigurment.

OK, now the progress report:

Here he is at the very beginning in a very rough state, just fleshing out his shape over the wire armature.
Made of Polymer clay.

He's getting there - skinny legs, cute tush! - but I'm still working on him. It's good to see him like this now because once the clothes go on that's the last time we'll catch him in his birthday suit. He'll be relieved!
Face detailed nicely. Lots and lots of smoothing, trimming...
Next, the hair gets sculpted on.
You can see his hands are missing. I will do those separately.


Next is a close up of his face but as I said, lots more work to do on it yet.
I will use Genesis oil paints for his face as well as shading the body parts that show. (All those photos will be shown here)

Before painting his face I'll fashion the white mask and design something elegant that can be removed.

Whew! What a job. And not many new photos at this point because it's taken days to get the man's body and mask finished. As I said, this is a new size of Phantom for me and although he's not as big as the 18 inch doll, he's extremely time consuming just the same.

The next step, I will start painting, so stay tuned for update photos and thanks again for dropping by!

Woollens are on. (painted & glazed) Gets mighty chilly in the depths of the
Paris Opera House. I know Erik looks somewhat reminiscent of Batman at this point but neither mystery man wants his skivvies to show through formal black attire. Of course those are not skivvies for BM are they???

Grey woollen long johns and black shiny boots.
Next I will paint his face, hair and body shading. Stay tuned folks -
and get bidding!

UPDATE:

Life into him.


Painted with Genesis oils


SOLD

Pictures don't do him justice, he's quite impressive in person.

Next - getting dressed!

Again, thanks for your interest and dropping by!
