I haven’t posted actively in million years & yet I get constant activity on my blog, solely thanks to you re-reblogging my art & this wonderful fandom! ;____; <3 THANK YOU !!!

You are so very welcome! I’m doing it to try to nudge you into making more, is my little plot working?

No pressure, but I do love your style, and ppl should be made aware of it, bc the way you draw/paint is unique and passionate, and it needs to continue… ❤

Your thoughts on art are always interesting to read, but do you think that fanart is a healthy means of expression for girls? Before you jump on me hear me out. Shouldn’t the point of art be to challenge yourself rather than indulge in a crush? Fanart is limited by obsession, which is unhealthy. There’s no question you can be good at it, and you might enjoy yourself in the short term, but do you feel you’ve truly accomplished something as an artist by making only fanart?

Here’s what I get from your message:

  • “I’m a troll, but I come equipped with good grammar and flattery.”
  • “I think art is a holy and sacred institution governed by peens.”
  • “I have probably never opened an art history textbook.”
  • “When male artists draw hot naked babes, they don’t call the naked babes unhealthy crushes. They call them inspiration. And a lifetime of naked babe indulging is called an oeuvre.”
  • “Once you stop with this whole being a girl nonsense, you can become a real artist.”
  • "This is 17th century Massachusetts, and the village elders decree that masturbation is a sin, and Eliza should be set in the pillory with her ears nailed until the next Sabbath.”

I feel this belongs in my main art blog.

I so appreciate your blog, it’s become a daily routine for me to check it. My question is: What kind of art would you (and the fandom) like to see? I mean as in which characters, scenarios and art style? Maybe a scene from the books that you like?

Awwww thank u! ❤ I love the idea of this thing being part of someone’s daily routine BC IT IS CERTAINLY PART OF MINE and someone out there ought to be as attached to it as I am #no regerts. So the feels, they are mutual *u*

So the delay in reply was bc I actually have gotten a few asks recently about fave scenes and such, and you asked me AND the fandom, so anyone is welcome to comment/reblog this post (or shoot me an Ask and maybe I’ll compile a few) and offer their own ideas for what they’d like to see in fanart.

Personally… if I were to REALLY dig deep into my soul, I would have to consider each book and pull scenes from it, and I’ve already delayed far too long in answering this, so this is a less serious list. I think what I’m asking for is some canon and/or fanfic scenes.

As for the style, personally, I prefer comic panels, crisp lines, color optional (like Alphons Mucha), but then there are great pieces in more surreal styles… And beautifully rendered works that are almost like classical paintings! So, really, any style or medium, my thirst for fanart is insatiable!

Hit the jump for stuff, cut for length, some misc. spoilers after a few fanart samples.

^[X by @anaryawe which they drew for meeeee!] Scenes in which Claudia, Louis and Lestat are a happy little family before Claudia started actually “growing up” ;u; Fluff! With a touch of angst is fine, too.

^[X fanart by ya-ah] mortal!Lestat and Nicolas, their Auvergne and Paris theatre shenanigans, when Lestat went by Lestat de Valois.

[X by meeee] Kinky ideas… interpret that as you will… (most of these are SFW, not to worry!) 

Other stuff I’d like fanart for:

  • Mortal!Armand in the caves, mortal!Armand living w/ Marius and his pack of lost boys
  • Mortal!Daniel exploring/dissecting stuff w/ Armand (BLENDERS, etc.)
  • Marius getting turned into a vampire bc that was scary.
  • Lestat goes to heaven, not impressed by God
  • Lestat goes to hell, freaks out, but not impressed by the devil, either
  • Merrick’s seduction of Louis in Merrick
  • Mona’s feminist speech in Blood Canticle  “Yeah, females do come in grown-up sizes! And I happen to be one of them, and this is not the Garden of Eden, and I am not taking off this dress!”
  • Lestat turning David in TOBT and David trying to tussle with him afterwards as if THAT was gonna happen.

^That should satisfy you for now 😉 I’ll try to think of more for another Ask.

Speaking of height, how tall is Louis? Is it ever said in the books?

“Louis de Pointe du Lac, already described above but always fun to envisage: slender, slightly less tall than Lestat, his maker…"- Armand, the Vampire Armand

I don’t think it gets more specific than that in canon, but you know Lestat would be throwing a massive hissy fit about it every other book if Louis was taller than him bc ‘Stat is the biggest baby about height.  

Generally, height doesn’t matter much when you’re horizontal ❤
