I’m trying to get together an Armand cosplay and I need help figuring out outfit choices. I’ll be doing a modern Armand and I don’t really know what modern outfit choices that I could use. Can you please help me owo???

Yah sure! First of all: @chrissydeath and @amadeo-child-of-the-renaissance are fab Armand cosplayers/artists and also @sheepskeleton​, who has drawn Armand in modern outfits, they’d probably have better suggestions than mine but I WILL TRY.

I’d suggest looking at fanart of Armand, and unfortunately, I don’t have my #fanart collection divided into different characters so I pulled a few memorable ones out for ya here ;D Go ahead and jump in that tag for more, if u dare.

The crucial part of any Armand cosplay is his hair, of course, but everything else is p. much up to you. What would you headcanon he wears? Sometimes he likes to be all decked out in pricey fitted clothes, but he also has a sense of humor, he probably went for all kinds of silliness in the ‘70′s (and he still goes to 70′s themed parties bc of course he does), but I think he’s most comfortable in tight black pants or skinny jeans, a loose t-shirt (Daniel’s probably), and a well-worn light-weather jacket. He looks great in fur for winter, too.

In no special order, some fanart w/ Armand in modern fashion.

LESTAT WENT TO WAL-MART AND HE WANTS TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT!

Pencil sketch with photoshop colors. There is a line about him in Body Thief going gaga in stores and how he could become captivated to the point of immobility in a Wal-Mart. Enjoy him blank staring at a wall of balled-up socks.

Sketch for @vraik of Louis trying to get Armand and Lestat to behave/get along. I know they would forget the bet, or at least look over it, once Louis rails against them for attempting to use the kitchen as a surgery theater…

Drawing more scenes that I like from Tale of the Body Thief.

I love how Mojo and Lestat connect instantly, such a good puppy. Also, learning that Louis would come over to Lestat’s for movie watching sessions is… Delicious, hahahah.
