Interview illustrations : Louis and Claudia by dididouli

Here is Louis trying to protect Claudia when the theatre finally comes for them..

These are a couple of years old, I made illustrations for Interview with the Vampire and actually got an A for it (yay me). it was all made in China ink. 

I worked on these pieces like mad at the time (I had a hundred of bad sketches all around my desk) and that’s how I learned to draw freely and SEEMINGLY effortlessly with a pen and ink.

So always remember to practice practice practice and look up a lot of references and then try to copy the technique and then practice again.. it’s the only way to get better.

Lestat: sick of Louis’ shit since roughly 1860. 

This sentiment comes up so much that I have tags for it: #Lestat doesn’t care for your bullshit #Louis de Pointe du Lac

I was thinking about that line about “new seductive, supernatural creatures”. Hopefully it doesn’t refer to the werewolves (I haven’t read those books, but as a rule Anne Rice’s crossovers suck) but maybe it just refers to new vampire characters? Hopefully.

AR has actually admitted herself that she felt her Mayfair/VC crossovers haven’t “worn well” over time. That’s what she said at the booksigning I went to back in Oct of last year.

I haven’t read the werewolves books either, but I read someone’s recap of one of them, and well… let’s just say I’m more of a VC person. I’ve read some of AR’s other books, including the Mayfairs… none of it really captured me like the VC. Siiiigh.

I fear a werewolf/VC crossover. If the ”new seductive, supernatural creatures” were other vampires, why not just write “new seductive vampires” ? Ghosts would be fine, or even unicorns, or mermaids! Just not werewolves, omg. Let Underworld and Twilight mix werewolves and vampires.

My very specific fear is a Louis/werewolf thing. I hope his response would be as follows:
