Yes, Armand really can be terrifying. Why do you think Lestat’s so wary around him? This happens in later canon to remind you, tho:
“I had the heart and held it as I’d seen Pandora hold it. I drank from it. Oh, it had plenty of blood. This was magnificent. I sucked it to pulp and then let it fall” – TVA, Armand healing after going into the sun

The Tale of the Body Thief
“Judge me not for my stupidity.” —Lestat de Lioncourt.
“Judge me not for my stupidity,” I implored him. I told him again of my ordeal in the Gobi, of my strange conversations with David, and David’s vision in the Paris cafe. “I was in a state of desperation when I did this. You know why I did it. I don’t have to tell you. But now, it must be undone.”
[The regeneration by JakezDaniel]
Sketch this, sketch that…Gosh, me, finish something, why don’t you?
This was a quickie done of Lestat from everyone’s favorite part of that movie. 🙂 I really need to rework this one, but I still want to fix it up and post a finished version.
“I assume I need no introduction.”
This is how you fanart. It doesn’t even need to be colored in. Such a well-captured expression.
@muirin007 this is still awesome. Reblogging this post from 2 yrs ago.
“Whoever he was – and of
course I knew who he had to be – he did not give a damn that I was there! He
had not even stopped to take a breath… It was Armand, of course. Yet I was hardly prepared for the
sight he presented here.
“Candle wax dripped
down the marble bust of Caesar, flowed over the brightly painted countries of
the world globe. And the books, they lay in mountains on the carpet, save for
those of the very last shelf in the corner when he stood, in his old rags
still, hair full of dust, ignoring me as he ran his hand over page after page,
his eyes intent on the words before him, his lips half open, his expression
like that of an insect in its concentration as it chews through a leaf.
Perfectly horrible he looked, actually. He was sucking everything out of the
books! …
But his manner wasn’t
the entire horror. It was the havoc he was leaving behind him, the utter disregard
of everything he used. And his utter disregard of me.
“…His auburn hair shimmered despite the dirt in it; his eyes
burned like two lights. Grotesque he seemed, among all the candles and the swimming
colors of the flat, this filthy waif of the netherworld, and yet his beauty
held sway. He hadn’t needed the shadows of Notre Dame or the torchlight of the
crypt to flatter him. And there was a fierceness in him in this bright light
that I hadn’t seen before.” – Lestat re: Armand, The Vampire Lestat
Just love this SO MUCH. By Florbe91.deviantart.com. From Tale of the Body Thief, by Anne Rice (DUH, do I post anything ELSE EVER??!!)
Do you think Louis would/could have refused Lestat forever?
This particular fanart is one of my absolute all-time favorites. The expression florbe achieves here is so strong, the staging of the frames, the subtlety of the colors is perfection, the whole thing tears at your heartstrings almost more than the scene in the book does! I’d love to buy a whole graphic novel in this style ❤
So I had posted this a million (three) years ago, back before this blog was this blog, back when it was “mannimations,” and that was before I knew how to link things in a nice way, but more relevant than belitting my former lack of etiquette is that at that time, this image was hosted on florbe91’s deviantart page.
Since then, she has taken it down, and many other of her VC fanarts, for her own reasons. There are a few still there if you look for them, a fraction of what had been posted. She took the rest down for her own reasons, none of which were bc of AR.
The primary reason I’m writing this now and reblogging smtg that she took down, against my own policy, is to let you know why I try not to reblog her VC fanart* when I see it on my dash currently. As much as I absolutely adore it, I respect her choice not to share it.
Secondly, when you see fanart that you adore, download it! Keep it for your own private records. Artists can remove things at any time, and there may not be any warning. I’m an artist, and I have removed posts from here.
*The exception to my rule is if the fanart in question is publicly available (at the time of reblogging) on her deviantart or tumblr, in which case it seems to be okay to share, or in this case where I’m making a general note.
A Lestat and Louis doll by an unknown designer, posted here. They appear to be ball jointed dolls.
These are gorgeous and this is the VC merch we deserve.
^This Lestat doll was posted to AR’s FB page in response to her request for doll suggestions, but she hasn’t liked or commented on it as of this posting.
“Well, how bout that.”
I got a request from @i-want-my-iwtv about lestat in a rocky horror outfit and doodled it immediately
Dr. Frank ‘n Lioncourt is on call!
More VC mermaid AU nonsense – Armand :3
