Coffee shop AUs redefine escapism from wild fantasies about dragons and space travel to the comforting ideal of having a steady job and supportive relationships.
For a generation who came of age during the Great Recession, living in a time of constant political trauma, it’s not hard to understand the appeal.
I will add more characters when…I actually start drawing them and have an idea of how I imagine their colors. This is the color pallet I imagined for the boys (and kind of how their hands look, but not exactly)
“Daniel stared hard at the creature before him, this thing that looked human and sounded human but was not. There was a horrid shift in his consciousness; he saw this being like a great insect, a monstrous evil predator who had devoured a million human lives. And yet he loved this thing.” -The Queen of the Damned: The Story of Daniel, The Devil’s Minion
A more (less?) literal interpretation of Daniel’s thoughts about Armand and how he sees him. This was a very fun piece to draw and probably more my ‘style’ than anything I’ve drawn like all year! In hindsight I might have flipped the direction of the scorpion tail but yes, very fun! Pencils + Photoshop for coloring and editing.
Younger-ish Marius and typical nightmare age Lestat. This is my attempt at drawing two white blond men without suffering same-face too much. I will say, in my present style for both Marius and Lestat they have similar noses and lips already. But compare them to how I draw Armand, Daniel, or Nicki and hopefully the effect is more pronounced.

Before I even read the caption I was thinking Wow this is a great comparison of the way similar looking characters can each be uniquely defined in subtle ways… and that’s exactly what you were aiming for, so kudos to you!
