Welcome to the *~front burner~*, fam. When??? we’re actually getting that TV series is always a question – and those of us who have waited for years between adaptations have the patience of saints – but hell, why not be excited about it? Or at least cautiously optimistic 😉 Let it out. You can cry, bruh.
AR is planning on starting with TVL and she’s asking for fan input*, so…. let’s give it to her!
*@claudias-ashes shared this w/ me JUST TODAY:
LOL
Santa: “Santa doesn’t bring tubes of growth hormones sweetie… wouldn’t you like a pretty dolly instead?”
Claudia: *fuming* Guess who’s getting DEATH for Christmas?
I feel that way about kids I see out in the world, too, 5 year olds are not all sunshine and rainbows. Too bad you can’t say to their parent, “Hey can I take a picture with your kid to share with my fandom? She looks like the child vampire from the vampire series we love!” Yeah, not creepy at all, lol.

Dude it’s not about the art quality! Don’t do it for the notes. Do it for yourself. You might be being too hard on yourself, you may find your style not as “good” as someone else’s but that doesn’t make it Hella Bad™! It’s Hella Yours.
As with all the arts, like writing, music, drawing, etc., we all have to start at a place of less skill than we can earn over time. For me, humor can supersede technical ability. Applying humor and choosing the right expressions can be just as difficult as the technical ability, and to my taste, can be better than a really pretty portrait.
This is not the best drawing but it’s totes lolworthy:

Ppl might not Like/Reblog your stuff but it’s always great to see someone’s archive and see how they’ve improved over time.
Claudia probably had to practice for years to draw so well, and that should have been a clue to her dads that she was much older inside than she looked, bc few children would be able to draw this skillfull, especially w/o a live model in front of them well she had a dead one but she wasn’t looking at it:

So keep drawing! And share if you want.

Keeping Claudia from biting her competition would be the real struggle… that insatiable appetite of hers…
♛”Claudia, did Louis really gave that to you? Please don’t lie to me, ma petite…” Lestat sighed. He reached out to pet the dog’s soft floppy ears.
“No, we cannot keep a puppy. Who would play with her all day when we’re asleep? It wouldn’t be fair to her.” More truly, Lestat was concerned about the inevitable damage to their home during the day, and, that Claudia might get hungry one night and kill the poor animal herself. This had happened before with a rabbit, she spent nights sobbing remorsefully over it, and none of them needed to endure that again.
For Burnadette_dpdl.
Something happy was promised. We have a decent amount of Louis and Claudia fics out there (decent…), but not nearly enough Lestat and Claudia. Obvious reasons, no doubt, but he did love her in his own way.
This is a sort of alternate universe where they adopt Claudia—without turning her—as a baby instead.
Sweet little AU ficlet, gifted to me, and I am so very touched! What a lovely gift ❤
@grrhatlet is right, there is a dearth of Lestat and Claudia fics out there, and this was much needed.

This is 100% unofficial and purely from my heart-
But for my younger sibling’s birthday I made @louis-the-beautiful-one some coloring pages featuring their favorites from the Vampire Chronicles series!We’ve got Louis, Claudia, and Lestat in a family portrait, Armand standing about with the curtains of his stage, and Marius looking so miffed at his quill.
I’d really like to do a couple more, and maybe I will with some of my favorites (NICKI… DAVID… GABRIELLE) but that’s for a later time. I love being the older sibling without a $$$ job so I’m always drawing things. HAHA
Please download and color them for yourself!! Hell, if you want a custom one, hit me up~
No, I’m not planning on going anywhere without a big flowery announcement, trust me! I’ve been in this fandom for 20+ years and on tumblr since July 2013, I’m stuck here for the long haul, it seems.
(If I ever mysteriously disappear, I’ll give my online whereabouts to @annabellioncourt and @merciful-death to share with you all.)
//ooc; good reason to get into the shape you want 😉
Claudia would put out a set of jazzercize videos if she were still around…
