I AM GLAD YOU NOTICED THAT DETAIL! 😀 Armand is wearing this Alexander McQueen scarf (in grey.) Lestat’s jacket is inspired by a few similar Brunello Cucinelli pieces so I guess it’s … bespoke courtesy … the artist ╮(╯▽╰)╭ this is the kind of shit i waste the good years of my life on
There are a ton of awesome artists in it already and I just confirmed that my comic is actually gonna make it in too (even tho it’s technically too long ghhhhghi’msorry)
So yeah if you’re digging the panels above and wondering “Is this going where I hope it’s going” (knowing my followers, i can confirm for you that yes, yes it is) then consider picking one up!
They only have 20 hours to go and are ALMOST funded, so I hope we can make this happen! I want to own this book too!!
UPDATE: this kickstarter is closed, but the artbook may still be available to buy. Go ask vampireartbook ❤

Theatrical Trailer
20 freakin’ years and they can’t include the deleted scenes.
I’m still pissed off about the lack of deleted scenes.
I’ve heard rumors of a bootleg extended cut occasionally turning up on ebay but I have never seen it, myself.
Someone must have this alleged bootleg extended cut, share with the class whether it even exists#plzkmerciàbientôt
ooc; For anyone that wondered, this was a thing on her Facebook today. Both the vampires not having sex and the Daniel & Marius bit.
//Awww. That’s sweet. (Not sarcastic. It is.) I definitely got the impression they cared very much for each other in PL. I still don’t read it as a romantic relationship. I don’t know it, it just doesn’t feel that way to me in the text. But I can see it being a very loving and intimate relationship. If it gets passionate, though, I see there being problems, given that Marius is so controlling and Daniel does not like being controlled. Will be interesting to see how this goes in Blood Paradise.
I do hope Armand and Daniel reconnect in some meaningful way (which doesn’t have to be at the expense of Dan’s relationship with Marius, whatever that is – I contend they’re not very monogamous creatures anyhow). But really, I just want to see them TALK, goddamn it. Nod at each other. SOMETHING.
That is an awful legacy of names! Lestat and also Alucard aka that name low budget horror films would use when they couldn’t buy the rights to dracula/subtly foreshadow the fact that their character was a vampire shhh secret though. I want a fucking reality tv series of #vampireboy
It must be strange growing up with a fictional character’s name, especially as a “Lestat” baby. Whenever I mention the series there’s a chance I’ll get negativity bc there’s still homophobia out there, etc. I actually do try to bring it up relatively soon when deciding on making a new friend, bc if they reveal themselves to be homophobic or otherwise treat the VC like it’s shameful in any regard, then I don’t really want to waste my time with that person.
But I don’t think I could name a future son of mine "Lestat.“ Maybe I’d choose one of the more normal names, and there are plenty! I’ve seen alot of cat and dog (and apparently there’s a mule in NOLA?) Lestats, and a few young boys named Lestat on the interwebs. Kids will tease anyone for any reason, having a strange name won’t help this "Lestat-Armon Alucard.”
Noteworthy: I met a little Akasha (2 yrs old!) at a booksigning. She definitely lived up to the name, throwing such a tantrum that she had to be removed from the building by her father, she never got to meet her maker AR.
(^This is not her mom in the pic. Just a fan thrilled to hold Akasha in her arms!)
