Displayed in the Saint-Étienne church in France is the figure of René de Chalon, Prince of Orange. The prince died at the young age of 25 during the siege of Saint-Dizier in 1544.
Rather then memorialize him in the standard hero form, his wife requested (or René himself requested, or possibly both) that he be shown as “not a standard figure but a life-size skeleton with strips of dried skin flapping over a hollow carcass, whose right hand clutches at the empty rib cage while the left hand holds high his heart in a grand gesture.” (Source)
“I studied my reflection … and the organ, the organ we don’t need, poised as if ready for what it would never again know how to do or want to do, marble, a Priapus at a gate” – Lestat, Queen of the Damned
I’ve dubbed this piece, “Louis Clearly Hasn’t Yet Read Armand’s Théâtre des Vampires Chapters.” I was so surprised and overwhelmed by all the love the wip for this piece received here that I dug out my ruined sketbook and used what was left to finish it properly. I’m fairly certain you all have helped to revive my art muse and for that I thank you!
Since this one is NSFW I’ve posted it here on my fandom blog, but my art blog is @kmcgeijyutsuka I also have a DeviantArt.
