I was gonna make a comment about how this looks like an album cover for angsty 80’s style love ballads and then I remembered
Fanart by Diane Elizabeth Raum, aka @louisdeorleans!
There’s one on the site w/ the whole family, too:

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
(Painting Diana Elisabeth Raum, Poem William Blake)
Lestat on Davids Tiger after the Gobi Desert
YES thank u so much! I am the infamous Fanfiction Writer Burnadette (on AO3, shameless self-promotion). What a lovely compliment all the way from Germany! *flails*

more fic to come, if I can kick myself into doing it, and messages like these are definitely encouraging!
I have to turn this into a little appreciation post to Lady Diana Elisabeth Raum, because I’ve been meaning to do so: I LOOOOOOVE your fanart. LOVE.
Start a tumblr or let @sam-biteback post it. Because your Lestat/Louis piece is one of my absolute favorites of them (and we need this in better scan quality so we can see the details better):

Louis: “What have you done this time, Lestat?”
Lestat: “Shhhh, Louis, let’s enjoy the silence of your not knowing… for a few more minutes.”
Louis: *siiigh*
And your illustration of Lestat on your Prince Lestat cover was wayyy better than what we got in the US or UK.

This male model… um… No. I know he’s trying but NO. And in the US all we got was a glossy font! NO illustration at all!

Me to myself: So are we going to paint like this one day?
Me: *nodds, runs away, changes name, moves to other country*
