Valentine's Day

I had had this idea ages ago and it wallowed in my folder incomplete; deciding to submit it for VC secret gifts finally lit the fire under me sufficiently to get it done!

Technically, in the original painting, the figures are meant to be brother and sister, but L/L share blood so it still works. I did consider making the pitchfork a scythe instead, but then it would have had to be Louis in the overalls, and Lestat in the dress, and the height difference wouldn't have been acceptable and ARGH!! I just had to make it simple for myself, lest it remain incomplete.

There's a little extra bit that I revised in there other than adding the title and inserting the faces of Lestat/Louis, can you spot it? Refer to American Gothic by Grant Wood for comparison!

Um, my respect! And, the promise that I will get on our Orleans project, because I did not forget! It's been on my weekly to-do list since the holiday break.

I did, however, rec and send a copy of Missing Pieces to a veteran tumblr RPer (desecrets here) and just skimming it, I was reminded just how talented your friend Orleans is. Omg. So good.
