burnadette_dpdlTHIS FANART by *HRFleur on DeviantArt is so lovely.

And someone commented perfectly on it:
"I don't think he looks like Tom Cruise. I think he looks better! it's as if you took the essence of Lestat from Tom and pulled the real Lestat out. He looks as though he's about to say something sarcastic or perhaps become peevish over something. I like that you made him handsome without looking feminine."
Of course, that wasn't enough for me. I had to go find the screen shot that the artist worked from. So you can see the side-by-side comparison. Every revision from the screenshot was a good choice, from the adjustment of his mouth into a slight smile, to the collar being a little more rumpled, smoothing out a few imperfections... just, lovely.

And I love Armand's expression as he hisses: "cry harder, bitch"...;P If he grinned any wider, the top of his head would fall off...
But I think my eternal favorite is the one about "mad, passionate subtext". You know what I'm talking about... *snickers like a demented old bat on crack*
