The “Vampie” Lestat
My favourite kind of pie
Check out the shirt (in all it’s glory) and get your own from here!
@jealizing, you have a fabulous new model wearing your shirt ❤

Prince Lestat
taihaku-tk asked you:
I know you’re super busy, but could you draw that one scene in Queen of the Damned where Armand is holding Louis and Daniel because they pass out after Mekare rips Akasha’s head off and eats her heart and brain? C: No rush or anything. Thank you ❤
That’s not fair, you know how difficult it is for me to say “no” to VC related requests?!
“They were all coming to life again, the others. Armand was holding Daniel and Louis, who were both groggy and unable yet to stand; and Khayman had come forward with Jesse beside him, and the others were all right too.” – QOTD

^fanart by @garama, who must have seen it live or the video of it, and has drawn fanart based on the musical, so he must have liked it! This is one of my all-time fave fanarts of Nicki/Lestat ❤ i just want to buy a whole graphic novel in this beautiful heartfelt style is that so much to ask *cries*
Some ppl loved Lestat the Musical, and more power to them! I am jealous of them. IDK if you saw the SF version or NYC version, live or video of it, but I saw the NYC version live and I did not like it. I partially blame the NYC producers for that, bc they apparently stripped out alot of the flair and gay stuff, maybe they were afraid it was pushing the envelope too far? But isn’t that what theatre is supposed to do? *sigh*
You can find ppl who enjoyed it, and other stuff about it, in my #Lestat the Musical tag.
Sadly, I mostly feel second-hand embarrassment for Lestat the Musical bc I made the mistake of inviting my cousin to go w/ me. She was not in the fandom, and she was uncomfortable the whole time *facepalm* Idk I thought she’d be into it, but the NYC version we saw was stripped so bare, and there was little to engage with. I can’t even listen to the soundtrack! It just brings me back to how disappointed I was in the bareness of the production, at the whole audience’s lack of enthusiasm… much cry, very sad.
So I have to be cautiously optimistic about the adaptation in the works and hope that they considered Lestat the Musical and can avoid its pitfalls.
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 by @remarried, ~art gallery chic~ turtleneck and mid-thigh coat w/ what looks like trimmed black fur lining. Leather gloves would be good, too.]

[X by @sheepskeleton, keepin’ it casual with a plain collared cotton shirt and denim jacket]

[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 @superhiki, Diso inferno indeeeeed! AVIATOR SHADES YES]

[X by @garama,I am diggin’ Armand’s fringe top w/ V neck, tight magenta leather (or pleather!) pants, & classic converse kicks combo but Lestat looks wayyy hotter.]
Hit the jump for a fewwww moar…

[X by @sheepskeleton, simplicity]

[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.]
