[^X Lestat de Valois and Nicolas de Lenfent by @kumiho5]

I think some ppl love Nicolas specifically bc, while he is mentioned, he doesn’t exist in later canon, he’s not as thoroughly explored, there’s more room for the reader to have our own interpretation of him.

As a side note: I really didn’t realize there was so much love for Nicolas until I got on tumblr! I think he represents this generation’s disillusionment with society at large better than Lestat does, Nicolas’ rebellion is a modern-era grunge rebellion, bc he HAS TALENT, and is angry with the way it’s recognized, angry with so much about the way the world runs on autopilot, angry with societal ideals of success. He probably does have some mental issues, too, and I think this generation is more comfortable “coming out” with BPD, or manic-depression, etc. than in 18th century France or at the time TVL was written… with some counseling and/or medication, he might have had a better life. 

@mendedpixie7 put it very well when they wrote about Adam from Only Lovers Left Alive; the similarity to Nicolas seems striking:

The reason I love Only Lovers Left Alive is it shows that a character (Adam) can be severely mentally ill, in this case depressed and suicidal, and still be seen as lovable and capable of being loved and loving in return without being “cured” of their mental illness, and that a mentally ill character can have other attributes aside from being mentally ill while still showing the impact being mentally ill has on his personality.

Adam from OLLA is an extremely important character to me you guys.

as i make it known pretty often, i have ridiculous student loans so it’s necessary for me to supplement my income with commissions. 

you can see all of these examples in full size as well as more examples of my work here.

prices are as such:

sketch/lineart – 20$+ depending on complexity
flat colours – waist & up – 30$ | full body – 40$
lineless – waist &up – 40$ | full body – 50$
colours w/ background – waist & up – 55$ | full body – 65$

add another character for half the full price (i.e. – simple flats, full body with two characters ends up being $60, etc etc). 

for minis, subtract $3 per requested character.

payment can only be done through paypal. please send all requests to alexabosy@gmail.com.

even if you’re unable to buy one at this time, just reblogging and spreading the word really helps! thanks in advance guys, i really appreciate it~

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.
