“Death’s-Head”

A concept sketch for a Leroux-based Erik, with a bit of Kay’s Erik thrown in for good measure. In addition to Leroux’s “death’s head” description, I wanted to emphasize asymmetry in the facial features to give it a psychologically unnerving appearance, along with semi-translucent skin so that the skull and veins would be slightly visible.
