do you think that anne rice has heard about kamijo?

People have mentioned it her at least 3x on her page (1, 2, 3), and she hasn’t responded at all so… given her stance on things she doesn’t like (she ignores them) I would guess that she doesn’t like Kamijo 😛 otherwise she would have responded.

[X] Kamijo is a huge IWTV fan and an A+ cosplayer, tho! We can enjoy him ourselves without her blessing. ^_____^

I’m trying to get together an Armand cosplay and I need help figuring out outfit choices. I’ll be doing a modern Armand and I don’t really know what modern outfit choices that I could use. Can you please help me owo???

Yah sure! First of all: @chrissydeath and @amadeo-child-of-the-renaissance are fab Armand cosplayers/artists and also @sheepskeleton​, who has drawn Armand in modern outfits, they’d probably have better suggestions than mine but I WILL TRY.

I’d suggest looking at fanart of Armand, and unfortunately, I don’t have my #fanart collection divided into different characters so I pulled a few memorable ones out for ya here ;D Go ahead and jump in that tag for more, if u dare.

The crucial part of any Armand cosplay is his hair, of course, but everything else is p. much up to you. What would you headcanon he wears? Sometimes he likes to be all decked out in pricey fitted clothes, but he also has a sense of humor, he probably went for all kinds of silliness in the ‘70′s (and he still goes to 70′s themed parties bc of course he does), but I think he’s most comfortable in tight black pants or skinny jeans, a loose t-shirt (Daniel’s probably), and a well-worn light-weather jacket. He looks great in fur for winter, too.

In no special order, some fanart w/ Armand in modern fashion.

[X Look it’s @chrissydeath as one of @garama‘s versions of Armand! ❤ such attention to detail right down to the belt! I really like Armand in a v-neck.]

[X by @sheepskeleton I couldn’t crop it for size, just too gorgeous!]

[X by @sheepskeleton I am really digging this leather and stripes w/ loose engineer boots look. Very 50′s greaser/80′s punk.]

Hey bud! I’m working on a Lestat cosplay rn, could you help me with ref pics? I especially need pics of his different shoes/boots and pants 💙

Bonjour~ You came to the right place… 

image

…but there aren’t many shots of his shoes or boots, really 😛 Not just to conceal the added heel height! There’s just more action going on in the face area ;]

Here’s a pic of one whole costume, w/ I think, the shoes that went w/ it (thumbnail below, check out the link for larger image).

He wears a bunch of outfits so I’m not sure which one you’re aiming for, but here’s a good post with several of them.

image

^Blurry combo gif is blurry but you can see his pants are generally just dark blue or black, to let the top half of his outfit be big and flashy. Tight pants would probably be best. Middle gif shows tight velvet leggings and knee high boots w/ what looks like a 2 inch heel:

Similar boots below, but they have a cuff, and different pants, these have button detailing (not sure how high those buttons go):

please help me! I want to dye clothes black, not just retouching old black clothes ( I saw this lovely green dress online and green is not really my thing). Is this possible? Because all the dye i see in shops are for retouching

gothiccharmschool:

It depends on how light the green is, and what the fiber content of the fabric is.

Helpful links!
