mannimations:

Just love this SO MUCH. By Florbe91.deviantart.com. From Tale of the Body Thief, by Anne Rice (DUH, do I post anything ELSE EVER??!!)

Do you think Louis would/could have refused Lestat forever? 

This particular fanart is one of my absolute all-time favorites. The expression florbe achieves here is so strong, the staging of the frames, the subtlety of the colors is perfection, the whole thing tears at your heartstrings almost more than the scene in the book does! I’d love to buy a whole graphic novel in this style ❤

So I had posted this a million (three) years ago, back before this blog was this blog, back when it was “mannimations,” and that was before I knew how to link things in a nice way, but more relevant than belitting my former lack of etiquette is that at that time, this image was hosted on florbe91’s deviantart page. 

Since then, she has taken it down, and many other of her VC fanarts, for her own reasons. There are a few still there if you look for them, a fraction of what had been posted. She took the rest down for her own reasons, none of which were bc of AR.

The primary reason I’m writing this now and reblogging smtg that she took down, against my own policy, is to let you know why I try not to reblog her VC fanart* when I see it on my dash currently. As much as I absolutely adore it, I respect her choice not to share it.

Secondly, when you see fanart that you adore, download it! Keep it for your own private records. Artists can remove things at any time, and there may not be any warning. I’m an artist, and I have removed posts from here. 

*The exception to my rule is if the fanart in question is publicly available (at the time of reblogging) on her deviantart or tumblr, in which case it seems to be okay to share, or in this case where I’m making a general note.
