(BTW our mutual facepalming over Lestat was probably about this post)
Yes yes, memeything/fanart/fanfic/fanwork inspiration is, in actuality, the highest compliment to this blog, bc that’s REALLY what I do it for. When I started this thing there was fanwork but it was (and still is) all over the interwebs, and in my opinion there is not enough of it there is NEVER enough of it, so I wanted to have a collection of it for everyone’s enjoyment/inspiration, and a good resource for the fresh stuff, too 😀
Wow, your journey to VC is so touching, that our precious Sheeps shepherded you to us, was it this fanart of
Tonio Treschi?
You read Cry to Heaven –> saw sheepskeleton‘s fanart of it > sheepskeleton‘s fanart lead you here > now you’re one of us!!
#I love these kind of stories, and we (I’m sure I speak for others, too) enjoy your presence here. Great url, btw! He is Emperor of the Undead, lol.
I enjoyed Cry to Heaven, I don’t remember it very well, should reread it. I seem to recall that the main character reminded me of Armand.
Please, if anyone knows who made this amazing Armand, I can’t find it on deviantart. Tell me please!!
Someone on a Russian forum had saved the file with the name Armand_by_MaGLIL, but that user on deviantART doesn’t have it in their gallery, or favourites for that matter. I followed a few other trails where people had saved it on Pinterest and it was attributed to a dA user, but again, I wouldn’t find it when I went to look there. I hate it when this happens; it’s such nice art! Anybody?
Had to dig into the past in my DeviantArt account, but yes, the original artist is maglil, I know this because I once posted (2009!, gosh it’s been a while) a desktop screenshot and I tagged her (The-Vampire-Armand). I do have the original she posted saved (still!) on my computer and it’s very close to the quality of the one shared here, so… hope that answers your questions.
Hey, I saw your
post with the book cover, you wanted the star to get as a tattoo. I think it is
an ordinary pentacle, as far as I know ( I am wiccan/pagan), the circle inside
has no other meaning than the circle outside (it is usually around the star).
Yes, I think it
is significant that the symbol is on its head, later, around in the 19th
century, church claimed it as a symbol for satan or the evil in common. Because
you could see a goat in it. (Church of Satan still uses it today though)
(However the christian church is wrong, it had been a symbol for
protection against evil (you can clearly see in Goethes “Faust”).)
So I think the editor of the cover just used it as a representative symbol for satan/evil, which is very suitable for the VC novels. It has already been used often, I don’t think the editor made it especially for IWTV.
I hope I could help you 🙂
Thank u, that is a big help! It really does look similar to the one on the book cover. It has the hexagon inside, too. Wow. Thank u!
Not that AR necessarily had any input in the cover design for that edition of the book, but I think she does mention Faust at some point in the series (more than once, maybe…) so she might have suggested it if asked for her opinion.

Thank you! Comments like these make it all worth it *u*
