Two digital drawings of one of my favorite Marvel couples, Mystique and Destiny.   

First image is of Raven Darkholme on an orange blackdrop.  She’s wearing her outfit from the 90s animated series, with a headpiece featuring a skull as well as a skull belt.

Second image is of Irene Adler. She wears a full gold metal mask and headdress with a long cape.  Underneath her long cape she is wearing a bustier because she’s hot shit tbh.

Digital Drawing of Scott and Barda Free.  They are sitting on their couch, looking towards the viewer.  They are both in their house clothes. Scott wears a blue shirt and shorts.  Barda is wearing Pikachu Pajamas and bunny slippers. Behind their heads are four framed photos.  One of Oberon, one of Barda in her bikini, One of Scott and Barda smiling while in uniform, and one of Ted and Booster laughing on the beach.  I love them :)

Claudia 

Alt Text: Two digital drawings of Claudia from Interview With The Vampire.  The first features Claudia looking up.  Her face is drawn in close-up. She is wearing bows in her hair.  The second Image is the same as the first but replicated in black and white, except for Claudia’s vampire eyes, which glow red.  She also has a halo. 

I can’t unsee the red glowing eyes! You made it eerie yet still have the sweetness of a child. She’s sweet but scary. Like I want to be sweet but my nature is scary. These drawings shouldn’t be sad but I feel the sadness, her struggle. Was that done on purpose?? Or am I predisposed to feeling sad at all meaningful drawings??? 😫

First off, thank you very much for the kind comment.  I really appreciate it :). It’s nice to get feedback!

This is the last in my IWTV series, and my intention in all the portraits was to capture the duality of these characters.  The show hinges so much on the ways which Louis’s perception of his memories color the story he’s telling.  With Claudia, she’s a child, his child, but she’s also a vampire.

Daniel Molloy 

Alt Text: Two digital drawings of Daniel Molloy from Interview With The Vampire.  The first features Daniel looking offscreen to the right.  He is painted loosely in reds and greens.  The second Image is the same as the first but replicated in black and white and the image of Daniel’s face repeats upon itself.  In some of the version Daniel appears younger than he does in the series.

Armand.

Alt Text: Two digital drawings of Armand from Interview With The Vampire.  The first features Armand looking down on the viewer.  The coloring is natural, if slightly green.  The second Image is the same as the first but an overlay of the image repeats on itself.  It is vibrant yellows and reds. He looks demonic or holy. Choose your poison.

Lestat de Lioncourt

Alt Text: Two digital drawings of Lestat from Interview With The Vampire.  The first features Lestat looking towards the viewer.  The lighting is a soft and warm and the drawing focuses on the direct eye contact he’s making with the viewer.  The second Image is the same as the first but with more sinister lighting and there is blood on his face and clothes.

Louis de Pointe du Lac. 

Alt Text: Two digital drawings of Louis from Interview With The Vampire.  The first features Louis looking towards the viewer.  He stands in front of an orange skyline.  His features are obscured by shadow.  The second Image is the same as the first but with a ‘glitch’.  Pieces of the picture are out of place or distorted, as if there was an issue with the film the picture was captured on.
