Louis de Pointe du Lac

My first actual handdrawn submission in a while and my scanner kills it



Anyway, I've had an itch, so to speak, to draw some Vampire Chronicles fan art. So I did. I almost didn't, but I'd nearly forgotten what happens when you leave Louis alone (he starts to torch things, reminder: keep him away from the grill). So I sat down and drew him. Used a reference for the torso and flubbed the hands (one's bigger than the other ) Hand inked with Sakura Micron pen (which fails) hand colored with drawing pencils (pencils used: 2B, 3B, 4B, H, F, 4H, 6B, 8B, 2H and green colored pencil for the eyes) It was originally intended to be strictly greyscale with the exception of his eyes, but damn my scanner. It ate the skin shading I'd done so now he looks like a black and white Twilight vamp with green eyes. The background was lacking so I erased it in a Photo Editor, added the rose and the two-tone bg and shot it through some filters.

Enough ranting about how scanners are evil. All in all, despite the discrepencies with the hands and one eye being slightly smaller than the other, I'm proud of this piece. Louis has always been my favorite (Armand and Marius coming into second) not because he's so Emo, but because he seems more human, less obnoxious than Lestat (sorry Lestat fans, but you have to admit, he is obnoxious at times)

To all the Louis fans out there!

Ms. Rice, you aren't writing about Louis anymore, can I have him? I promise I'll take good care of him, let him out every night, make sure he's a happy little Emo pyromaniac vampire! Please?
