burnadette_dpdlTHIS FANART by *HRFleur on DeviantArt is so lovely.
Sauce: http://hrfleur.deviantart.com/art/Lestat-270786747
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.

Date: 2013-08-23 02:55 am (UTC)Isn't it wonderful that so many people are still making VC fanart? I used to think it was all dead and gone - but that was before I knew about DeviantArt, Tumblr and such. Speaking of Tumblr... I just found this:
http://vampchronfic.tumblr.com/image/58320756806
I don't know who did it. It's been reposted a number of times, and I couldn't figure out the artist's name. But I just had to share it. I mean, look at Louis' "limp wrist". They are both playing with fire there, LOL. Seriously - anybody else who'd dare to mock Lestat like this would be incinerated...:D
