I think he would be into the whole lasso-of-truth thing. #Fanart request!
But yeah, Halloween is coming up and Louis and Lestat both need costume ideas!
Louis likes Superman’s cape, though, that’s a fact.

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.

[X by @remarried, ~art gallery chic~ turtleneck and mid-thigh coat w/ what looks like trimmed black fur lining. Leather gloves would be good, too.]

[X by @sheepskeleton, keepin’ it casual with a plain collared cotton shirt and denim jacket]

[X Look it’s @chrissydeath as one of @garama‘s versions of Armand! ❤ such attention to detail right down to the belt! I really like Armand in a v-neck.]

[X by @garama,I am diggin’ Armand’s fringe top w/ V neck, tight magenta leather (or pleather!) pants, & classic converse kicks combo but Lestat looks wayyy hotter.]
Hit the jump for a fewwww moar…

[X by @sheepskeleton, simplicity]

[X by @sheepskeleton I couldn’t crop it for size, just too gorgeous!]

[X by @sheepskeleton I am really digging this leather and stripes w/ loose engineer boots look. Very 50′s greaser/80′s punk.]
Tom’s hair was fabulous like c’mon. I mean, maybe not the EXACT “glorious mane of pampered yellow hair” as described in book!IWTV, but I think his performance really made up for any of his physical shortcomings (pun intended, lol), like not being blond enough.

So yeah it was indeed a wig, but you know, there are a lot of reasons that the costume ppl put a wig on someone instead of dyeing the actor’s hair, and it’s not just because the actor doesn’t want to dye it. I bet Tom would have been willing to dye it if they’d asked him. He’s grown it out pretty long (the Last Samurai) and shaved his head bald (Minority Report) for roles.
For one thing, Lestat’s hairstyle and color had to be very consistent. It took 2 weeks to shoot the scene where Lestat kills the 2 women in front of Louis. Having a pre-styled wig is much faster to get on the actor than having to style their hair freshly every single time. Where Brad’s hair only had to be long and silky, that’s just an easy blow-dry; Tom’s had to have a fairly consistent shape.

Christopher Reeve wore a wig as Superman for similar reasons.
… and in Lestat’s case, it would have been inefficient to have to repeatedly dye Tom’s roots for however long his time was during the shoot lasted (I think it was several months). The vampire makeup effects took hours to apply, tracing the veins alone took 30 min EVERY DAY NIGHT:

… so saving time on Lestat’s hair styling and coloring was probably a huge help!
All that said, yes, Brad Pitt had magnificent hair during that time in his life.
He did a number of movies around that time with his own hair worn long, to the point where men were making fun of him for basically being TOO feminine (pretty eyes + big pouty lips + long silky mane = girl).

chrissydeath replied to your post: anonymous asked:love your blog &l…
Omg, thank you so much! ><`
(But this one picture is not my only one just of Garamas drawing – don’t forget this ;3)
Oh I know there are other great pics of your cosplay! Thank you for tagging them, I’ll peruse later… I was just trying to keep the post concise. I love this one, too, for obvious reasons:

Yeah, same. Well apparently in Prince Lestat Louis will have his share of time on a radio show? Run by Armand?!
… Lois de Pointe du Lac:
According to gorgeous-fiend: Louis was Lois Lane for Halloween!
[X]

Man, takes me forever to think of stuff to draw and to actually finish it. Yes, this is a work in-progress…. will add more characters+colour. So please hold out till then and hope you guys who like VC enjoy~
Louis if u think wearing a turtleneck is going to protect u from anyone’s advances you are SO VERY WRONG. “Oh, there’s fabric there, I supposed it is not a bitable area… *pout*”
…And then Lestat gets rid of all neck-covering tops in Louis’ wardrobe.
Armand is a total fanboy for superheroes. Hulk and Black Widow are his favorites.
… Also Superman! [Fanart by garama / permanentglitter]
