For some reason in my mind Lestat is some kind of a pervert xD And after all this time without Louis this is the first thing he was waiting for Lestat: I missed your backside, Louis!! Louis: … -.-# Screw you…
#I was getting all emotional about this and then #butts
//and another Armand (this time from the Theatre), because I got so much positive review that suddenly I felt like sketching, which I haven’t in a long time.
No worries, I understand what you’re asking ❤ I could write SO MUCH on this, so I’ll try to keep it short and basic.
We all picture him differently, I think that’s what will make it so hard to cast an actor. I still debate with ppl about his hair: whether it’s chestnut-color (like in movie!IWTV), shorter and curlier (like in Lestat the Musical), or dark, longish and silky as in a lot of the fanart. We all apply our own ideals of beauty (which are influenced by our own cultures, art, families, romantic partners, and/or friends, etc.) onto him. Plus, the other VC characters are generally more poetic when they describe him; they detail his inner qualities more than his physical ones.
That said, I agree that he would appear at first to have an overall delicate and almost androgynous figure, and he moves with a lot of grace and dignity, but he can definitely kick ass when necessary; there’s muscle and skill packed into that slender build >;}
I imagine his eyes as being more of a sea-green, maybe not like lasers ALL the time, but with a sparkle to them,
…with a good fringe of inky eyelashes when his eyes close,
^and that feathery but still masculine eyebrow.
^X these eyes belong to Steven Kelly. His lips are a lot bigger then I picture Louis’s lips, but his jawline is right (it’s a flattering angle tho tbh), and Louis is described as having a narrow head.
As for the body, I picture him as a little underweight due to the state of physical unfitness he was in in the month(s) leading up to his turning, but still muscular:
^X Simon Nessman would probably not like to hear himself called physically unfit, what I mean is, he’s got the basic setup, is a little underweight, not all !bursting! with muscle. (yes I imagine Louis has dark nips like this but a more pronounced happy trial *blushes*)
@eibhlis97 and I agree that he has great thighs due to riding horses all his life ;}
And a view from the back, bc yes, he requires, as you put it: “long legs ( and of course nice butt ).”
^X Louis will wear heels for Lestat on occasion. Very special occasions. Right, @vampchronfic?
The Question of the Hour was “do peaches look like butts or do butts look like peaches” and i was making up all this shit about how The Lord™ ~obviously~ modeled the delicious fruit after his most delicious masterpiece (the ass) when my sister, without looking up from her phone, shut me up with “ACTUALLY god created the heavens and the earth before he created man… so, in conclusion, butts look like peaches” and i just. cannot believe my shitpost just got shot down with scripture
