Lestat cannot BELIEVE Louis actually put on the costume he’s been begging him to wear for decades. Louis might look a bit unsure but, really? He’s warming up to it under Lestat’s infectious enthusiasm.
Happy Halloween everyone! I hope your day is deliciously spooky and full of treats! Here is my treat to you ❤ Pencils for lines, photoshop for color and type.
“But you mustn’t be afraid to ask me anything. If I held something too close… If I held something too close for you to ask about it, I would not bring it up in the first place.” Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
“Read between the lines.” Lestat de Lioncourt, The Vampire Lestat
I’ve revisited and revised my circa-2000 Interview with the Vampire fic. The first three chapters are up on AO3 now. More to come as I continue to fix up the chapters and post them.
These years have been chronicled already, of course, in the sad little memoir Interview with the Vampire, spun from the lips of my beloved fledgling Louis de Pointe du Lac. He gave a deeply felt if rather inconsiderate account of how I, cast as the callous villain of his tale, made him a vampire… Yet his story is riddled with mistakes, misunderstandings, and vast omissions. These omissions could only be deliberate, though whether he left things out due to discretion or due to regret, I still don’t know and can’t bear to ask.
But I can no longer look at that crippled little paperback on my shelf without wishing to tell my own version of that time, most particularly the secret history between us that Louis could not bring himself to relate. Even if the tale remains only here, in the cloistered space between my own eyes and the window of my computer screen, it must be told.
“No, Lestat. Just because you just woke up it does not mean it’s ‘morning’.”
I think I had not drawn Lestat in AGES. With the help of @i-want-my-iwtv I though he should wear some fancy Gucci or Balenciaga, but Gucci’s new collection was more appropriate with my ink colours, so Gucci it is.
My reference was Martin Rolinski (as suggested by both @i-want-my-iwtv and @joffrey-barathe0n ), and damn, if it was real I would totally follow the BratPrince on Snapchat (or even better, Instagram). I think that deserves its own mini-comic!
Nicolas has come to visit Lestat and Armand after such a long long time apart… Photoshop + Pencils. I know Nicki will never return to the Vampire Chronicles but LET A MAN DREAM, OK????
Lestat is less than enthused and Armand probably has a thing for leather jackets that he is really trying to suppress.
