Reading them all back to back is quite funny.

I’m not even going to go into how fucked up I think it is, because I hope the people following me know my stance on that, but I am going to comment on the fact that recently, I seem to stumble upon more of this regarding Armand than regarding Louis (or Claudia for that matter, though the latter might be because she has been less visible in promo for this season, so people have less posts about her to comment on).

Sad Fledgling With Train and Grandvamp

New style again, but I had to, because doodles in the cute-little-guys style is canon to the fic that inspired it— @ariaste ’s The Palimpsest of Daniel Molloy which everyone should start reading immediately. (Okay, maybe first drink up Daniel Molloy’s Incredible Showstopping World-Famous Model Train Extravaganza for Children and Easily-Awed Vampires (Please Knock). I cannot stress enough how necessary it is that you do this).

One of my sixteen WIPs of this man.

I personally think that Lestat should focus on being very grateful to Armand for not presenting him to the world as Pantalone. He could have, but he didn’t.

After that drop, I am so excited to hear more of Sam Reid’s singing! His voice shifts so smoothly between those wide open sounds far back and the more forward placed rock/pop style.

Surveillance

Guys, I’m so proud of this — my first digital drawing! It took so long to finish— probably 35 hours or so — because I had to learn every feature of the software as I went. I fucked up many, many times, but here it is, finally!

It feels weird to ask, but I would be so happy if you would reblog this if you like it, because I really want people to see it!

(There’s a short description of my first experience with digital below the cut if anyone is interested.)

Wip of baby vamp minion. First drawing I’ve ever made entirely digitally, so I decided to do it with liner brush, eyedropper, and bucket because that felt simple. It is, in fact, not simple. Everything is difficult with this digital thing.

You can now do something nice by getting yourselves some neat, very affordable Assad/Armand prints and stickers by a bunch of tumblr artists (including some by your’s truly).

All profits will go to Trussel, a UK organisation fighting hunger.

😃 Software has improved so much since that time I tried digital ten years ago

😖 It’s been ten years

😃 All the options…

😖 …are driving me nuts

😃 Pen which doesn’t get used up all the time and can adjust for slight shakiness

😖 Pen which I can not choose the shape or length of, nor can I hold it anyway I like

😃 Drawing in layers

😖 Trying to remember to name said layers properly

😃 I find new, useful functions all the time…

😖 …but after 45 minutes of trying one out, I find another tool that does the same thing but better and quicker

😃 I love learning new things
