No, this isn’t a mutated panda or a Kiss cosplay gone wrong. This is the Phantom of the Opera, my subject for the Music Inktober prompt.

Let me know what you think about this basic recreation of Lon Chaney’s deformed face by leaving a comment below! Also, I shared my Inktober 2020 entries on Instagram. Follow if you fancy.

Thanks for dropping by! Say you’ll love me every waking moment!
