Erik Lip Sync- Feast Your Eyes

[angelofmusic997]

*jumps* Holy crap! I clicked on a link and I totally wasn't expecting that!

*watches video again* Wow. That is awesome!

[TheTitanic4]

Cartoon erik's voice is so awesome! :D

[MissCrabyCake]

It looks so realistic, but there is not enough emotion in his face. Also Is it weird that I am reminded of lizard-men? Probably the texture of his skin and his "nose" Fantastic job, though. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

[LynnettesDowry]

AAAAaaaaaahhhh... Wait... Where's the ugliness?

~ Something a phan girl would probably say... I think

[OushGisher]

You know what's funny about the human face? The nose makes or breaks it.

It you cover that 'great black hole' with your finger and picture a nose in it's place he just looks like an old man!

If Erik did look like this in the imagination of Leroux, he should've just worn a modified eyepatch on his nose xD

[SilverDrgnbane]

@OushGisher He does. Leroux describes Erik wearing a false nose at least once or twice. I believe there was even a mustache attached. lol

[EponineGraydeChagny]

This is freaking fantastic! Do you plan on making any more of these or a longer clip of this one? It's just so good.

[SilverDrgnbane]

@EponineGraydeChagny Thanks. I'd like to make more of these, but life is busy. I have a newer cartoon Erik which I would love to use one of these days, as well as a Christine. Some day I will revisit this work. Lip sync is good practice. :)

[alissa26]

Great job! It's such a shame the animation from the actual cartoon was so terrible, but this certainly makes up for it.

[Sunnifly]

Lol, he looks like Voldemort from Harry Potter XD

[SilverDrgnbane]

Nah,,, Not as much as my previous model. XD

[KryssLaBryn]

Hey, Leroux!Erik! AWESOME stuff! Can't wait to see more!

LOL I know that vid... Sadly, I think he should be a bit more emotional at that moment, heh. Still, it WAS the closest to the book so far...

[SilverDrgnbane]

Yeah, that voice was really flat sounding considering what was going on...

[Biskuits]

That's a fabulous render! And I love that you used his cartoon voice :}

[Noodles556938]

great work, were did you learn to rig/skin your models?

[SilverDrgnbane]

College. I'm in my final semester for an Associates in 3D right now.

[DarthxErik]

that is so freaking amazing! hey... if they ever decide upon making a phantom of the opera movie based on the book, you better be one of the head animators! XD

[SilverDrgnbane]

Here's hoping. ^^

[stephantom53]

wow this is amazing,haven't used 3Ds Max yet but i'll have to try it.

[SilverDrgnbane]

I love Max. It's a lot more user friendly than Maya, although Maya has more features, especially for texturing.

[GhostGal5]

Very cool animation/Erik, indeed! (I noticed that the 3 different animations all have different faces/heads - this one seems to have more of a graphic, "death" appearance.)

The blinking - wow! Just makes him look so real and alive!

Could you try one like this with "golden, glowing eyes" though? Just to see what it/he would look like? Pweeeeeease? *beg beg beg*

[SilverDrgnbane]

Yeah, the first one looked too much like a gremlin, but I needed something for school so I changed its mouth so I could lip sync. This one is the final design; it follows Leroux much closer.

As for the eyes, they're glowing a little bit now, but not enough to overpower realism. I have an old textureless image with the eyes cranked up somewhere. I could put it into my devart page if you like.

[GhostGal5]

Hey, if you could place that image somewhere on your Devart page, that would be "Phan"-tastic! ;-D

I took a quick glance at your page - great artwork! :-D

[SilverDrgnbane]

I put it in my scraps. ;)

[GhostGal5]

SilverDrgn -

I just went to your page and got a glimpse - very cool indeed! (I love Erik with the golden eyes - he seems so cat/hawk-like!)

I too, have done some drawings of Leroux's Erik/Phantom! (I've actually done more drawings of Phantom, than I have of any other kind of subject! LOL!) Viola!..

(Of course, you will need to put.. h t t p / / ...before the web addy above!) ;-D

[SilverDrgnbane]

It says the pic got moved...

[TsunamiX40]

YAY!! This is so freaking awesome! You did a great job! ^_^

[SilverDrgnbane]

Thanks!

[LivieLightyear]

One word: Wow. You're Erik is really... Wow. He has /such/ beautiful eyes... The voice is from the animated film, yes? I loved his voice...

[SilverDrgnbane]

Thanks! His eyes even glow in the dark. ^^

I like the cartoon Erik's voice too; I'll probably use more clips from that for more practice.

[LivieLightyear]

Yes... I love it when his eyes glow! I need to get the animated version off of amazon... I could use some lip sync practice, too. D= You do such a beautiful job.

[SilverDrgnbane]

It's on youtube, I left a link to the clip I used in the description.

You use 3D?

[LivieLightyear]

I know, that's how I first heard of it! =3 I would just like it to have it... same with the Kopit version. I can watch that here, on youtube, but it would be neat to have the actual DVD...

I'm just a simple self-proclaimed pencil animator. You can see two of my earliest animations on my channel... I need to upload my new ones... They're all very rough and not nearly as professional looking as yours are.
