This was the coven master, surely, this quiet and forceful one, the one who would survive, no matter how the orphan in him wept.

This was my first bookmand art, that's why he doesn't look like Mick Jagger yet and has bright ginger hair 😂 also, i recently remembered the typical Vergil - Blue and Dante - Red color scheme wasn't always the case, especially in old manuscripts:

☝️☝️ There it is! That's literally Marius & Amadeo. Hahaha!

I have so so many thoughts about the setting of TVA. It's the most prominent and interesting theme in the book to me. I was heavily fixated & obsessed with turn-of-the-century Italian Renaissance history for a while, so starting to read TVA and slowly realizing this book is set in exactly those years, how Armand's conflict corresponds exactly with the history & theology of that brief period was... an Experience. LOL.

Amadeo's rebirth into his new life being set in a time where Christian faith & culture is being reborn. The Siege of Constantinople and Andrei's kidnapping. Savonarola's Bonfire of Vanities and the Children of Darkness ambush. The constant comparison with Christ's rebirth ... It is so deeply imbued with the conflicting values of the Italian Renaissance. Even Marius, too, represents that - an ancient roman teacher to offset & challenge Armand's very Christian, very spiritual devotion. The book, to me, is Armand's Divine Comedy!

I debated on which painting to imitate for this idea, and ended up choosing the one depicting Canto 32 - Dante & Virgil witness Ugolino della Gherardesca, eternally gnawing on his betrayer's head in hell. Kind of as a little nod to how Armand cannibalizes Riccardo later on.

Ok, quizás no es una gran imagen, pero es la escena lo que la hace maravillosa.

It's strange how we feel cold. You can ignore it. And then very suddenly, you can take it personally.

Cover her face;

Mine eyes dazzle;

She died young.

I love the absolute drama with which Armand and Lestat describe falling for Louis de Pointe du Lac — it was something they experienced in such a similar way!

"I felt fatally in love with Louis" ~ Lestat, TVL

"I fell in love with him hopelessly" ~ Armand, TVA

As if they both knew right then and there that that sad, wet man was going to have them in a chokehold for the rest of their immortal existence.

"Well, I did hear there's a nice expo going on at the Louvre... Maybe we could try and attend at some point." "Oh, I already have gotten us tickets for that one, let me just check the right date..." He feels cold hands gently cupping his cheek. Marius is suddenly near him, placing a tender and long kiss on his curls. His treacherous heart speeds up. What is he being kissed for? "Master, what is this?" "Nothing, cherub."

My Amadeo, my Armand...

🍷 1994 Lestat de Lioncourt 🍷

This is my third one. I think I want to try making chibis of the IWTV characters from the 1994 movie version and the 2022 series (also from the book, if there's a big difference in appearance, like Armand, for example). Tom Cruise's Lestat isn't my favorite, but he also gives a very good performance.

Now Louis and Lestat (in this version) are together hehe

My Commissions are open 🪄

The Vampire Chronicles: A Fandom Survey

Click Here To Take The Survey!

What is this Survey?

This is an unofficial survey for fans of The Vampire Chronicles Book Series by Anne Rice. The questions are about how your interactions with the books, the fandom, and the adaptations. The goal is to collect information about the fandom for this almost fifty year old series to share it with the people who are a part of it!

Who should take this survey?

This survey is for anyone who considers themselves a fan of the books, or part of the fandom for the books. You should be eighteen and have read at least one of the books in its entirety, but otherwise, if you define yourself as a fan, please feel free to answer! People from anywhere in the world, who got into the books at any time, who read the books in any language, are encouraged to participate.

What do you plan to do with the results?

The goal is to create a summary report of the results, including any interesting trends, and to share it on this Tumblr account. Your answers, if you provide them in the survey, are only intended to be used for that purpose.

When will the results be shared?

The survey will be open until the end of June 2025, or whenever it gets a significant number of responses, whichever comes first. I have no idea how many people will be interested in this, so "a significant number of responses" is defined as whatever number makes me go "damn, that's a significant number of responses!" Any updates about the survey closing will be posted here, and the results will hopefully be posted within a few weeks at most after the survey closes.

Who made this survey?

I am a fan of The Vampire Chronicles, a fan of looking at data, and a huge fan of Microsoft Excel. I don't work with this kind of data professionally, but do fandom and personal data analysis projects on the side because I'm a very cool and interesting person. As stated above, my ultimate goal is to collect some interesting information and share it with the fandom!

Here on tumblr, I am also @sizeofyoursoul

Can I share this on another platform?

Please do! You can either share this post or the survey itself. If any questions come up, I'll answer asks here.
