Artist's Comments

I assume he needs no introduction..?
Still...

"He is so good at grieving!
He wears woe as others wear velvet,
sorrow flatters him like the light of candles,
tears become him as jewels."
-Lestat de Lioncourt

Ah...Louis :(

Louis in Paris. The vamp in the back is of course Santiago, the freaky actor/trickster from Le Théâtre Des Vampires.

Stocks used: for Louis. Thank you, you were the perfect choice :heart:
Santiago: very cool :thumbsup: Brushes:

Background: [link]

I wasn't sure weather to submit this in scraps or here as I'm not all that happy with it :/ Something's not right but I can't quite put my finger on what it is but maybe you guys you can. One thing I can see right off is that his neck-scarf looks more painted than his face. I'm not sure how to fix that though.

**UPDATED** Fixed the cravat and made it more "silky" looking, added slightly more shadow and highlight to the shirt and softened the shadow under Santiago's jawline as it was too sharp. Thanks for the input!

But you can only walk down one road, my friend...

You cannot be mad when the road you travelled ends up leading someplace you didn't want to go...

There are no maps in life...
