Rarely if ever do I post non-finished works or art to my mostly fandom and cosplay related blog, but since it’s NSFW, the sketchbook this was in recently got destroyed beyond repair and I seriously need some reinforcement for my sadly-nonexistent art muse of late… have some Armand and Louis sexy times!
Armand and Nicolas de Lenfent. These are just scribbles so please ignore glaring errors and sloppy work. I haven’t been drawing much for myself lately so I rushed to crank these out in the midst of work I can’t post here yet, heheh.
This is certainly during their theater days, perhaps Armand has been keeping a close eye on the public opinion of Nicki’s plays and is in the process of appreciating Nicki’s abilities.
So while snooping around online, I managed to find a Japanese edition of The Vampire Armand and I have never seen anyone post the cover art, which is just gorgeous to me!
There seems to be an alternative cover as well:
I found them on Amazon.co.jp, here are the links in case anyone is eager to import!
Also there seems to be other titles of Anne Rice’s work also in a similar retro shoujo style if you look at her author page on Amazon.jp. It’s a shame that it’s only for the covers, I’d love to read an Armand manga in this style, why does only IWTV to get one, you know?
^Above covers and text submitted by @baroquebat, thank you, much appreciated! I had never seen these before, they’re lovely ❤

*nods* Me too! Of course we have our awful graphic novels of the 90′s but whatever…*
IWTV and TVL got the graphic novel treatment in the 90′s, I’m not sure how far up canon those went bc I didn’t really like them 😛 IWTV and TVL only, I think. It seems to me that the publishers are missing out on an incredible financial opportunity. I don’t know the backstory on how the IWTV graphic novel Claudia’s Story got made, but I would think that The Vampire Armand would have to go through a similar approval process.
We do have these, and CS is the best of them, IMO.
lestat is a delightful and infuriating protagonist. the part in TVL where he loses his shit when marius shows him the king and queen is so very endearing (well it’s endearing if you’re not armand i guess)
