@vampires-in-south-park requested Lestat and Louis having a good old argument (about how it pains Lestat to see him eat dogs, maybe) and then the bottom sketches have to do with Lestat’s weird animal obsessions during Tale of the Body Thief. There is a line about him wanting to kiss screaming little monkeys so there you go.
I’ll draw is other obsession in that book later. What’s that you say? Old people, of course.
Send requests, I’m drawing everyone already in my spare time so gimme things a bit more like what you see above, oho.
aha look I finally uploaded a bit of my college work like I promised months ago (it’s not much but when the comic strip’s finished I’ll upload that too to make up for my inactivity lately)
it’s my precious boticelli angel armand from the vampire chronicles. wooo!
So I’m re-reading the Vampire Chronicles, and discovering all over again that I love the way Anne Rice depicts sexuality, attraction, and affection in her books, not just among vampires, but among humans as well.
People in platonic relationships never hesitate to say that they love each other, to show affection, to kiss.
Sexual orientation doesn’t seem to exist, really, especially with the undead. It seems that a century or two of immortality has rendered most of them indifferent in regards to gender.
I love the repeated narrative of “I hate you, but I haven’t seen you in a really long time, and I missed hating you in person, so come here and let me hug you and tell you how beautiful you are.” There is something very poignant in the way that they treasure the familiar.
Consent is super important in sexual situations in her books, and in simple social situations, and in regards to the giving and receiving of blood.
It’s recognized that people who have been made vampires without their consent are victims of trauma, even if they are men.
And just the expression of emotions in her characters, the men, the women, mortal and immortal love, hate, scream, laugh, openly weep without shame…you don’t see much of that in modern literature without idiots labeling it as “over sentimental.”

[X] ^Also on this VC casting note, some ppl have suggested Paul Boche as Lestat and I have resisted it, but seeing him w/ Miles McMillan here, it’s very Louis & Lestat, oui?They look like they have really good chemistry and that matters more to me than looks alone w/ acting *u*
