“I took him in my arms, oh, so cold, so unyielding, this monster which I had made out of human flesh.” Lestat—The Tale of the Body Thief.
(psst, so sry for being a flake and missing the last two days! but y’know, classes.)
Ever since I read George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” I became interested in that whole Pygmalion and Galatea Greek myth. In case anyone doesn’t know—the story is about a sculptor and how he fashions a statue of his ideal woman because he finds all real women repulsive. He ends up enamored with his creation, and prays to Aphrodite to breathe life into her; she does so, only to get him to shut up. They live happily ever after.
Anyway, whenever I think about the myth, I refuse to believe Galatea (the statue) was content to just be so complacent. It’s why I drew Louis’ face so disturbed. Just my take on it! Also, whenever I think about that quote ^^ up there, it just brings to mind the story.
InktoberVC—Day 15: Vampires as your favorite myth!
Lestat: Bonsoir mes amis! Today I’m so happy because same-sex marriage is now legal in Germany! What a great day for love ~ ❤
…. Louis…. Louis… don’t read one of your silly books! We must celebrate this great day! I can marry you in Germany!
Louis: … you married me in France… do you forgot this?
Lestat: No mon amour! But I want to marry you, my sweetheart, in all countrys which make same-sex marriage possible and legal ~<3 Because I don’t get enough from you ~
Ok, another very old Vampire Chronicle fanart (15 years ago, maybe…), a Lestat/Louis one. 😉 Sorry for the low res, it’s a photo of the original sketch. Hope you like it all the same!
