//Another Armand for Inktober. I found the reddish-brownish ink sitting on my shelf and thought d throw it into the mix. And why no use some goldleaf whilst I’m at it? The whole picture is TINY and intended to be a sketch only, but I think it turned out pretty enough for a first try. WHY DIDN’T ANYBODY TELL ME THAT (K)INKTOBER WAS A THING?! Be prepared! PS: The outfit is something I’ve had in mind for a long time. It appeared in one of my RPGs with my Louis and was stuck in my head ever since.
Was it Lestat the one who dolled Claudia up and made her look like a grotesque rococo statuette? Was it Claudia herself, in a fit of frustration against her childish body and face? Or is it just a visual metaphor about the (un)human condition a la Marius “what are you saying my paintings are so fucking subtle” de Romanus? Pick your fave.
All I know is that this is my fourth attempt at uploading this and I SWEAR TO GOD TUMBLR APP mh
So, like, this isn’t exactly a vampire wearing makeup, but it’s what came to mind. This is Armand before Marius took him in; back when he was still in a brothel.
Lestat wanted to be super duper helpful and make a video to teach all the vampires how do to their highlighting to blend in like a human but then he got carried away. (Quote from [x])
