Description Here is a picture of Nicki requested by forest-dream. Done in acrylics. (Can you spot Armand? I know...it's not hard. ^_^)

Here are the stocks I used:
(Dancers)
[link]
[link]
(Bonfire)
[link]
[link]
(Eleni)
[link]
[link]
(And Nicki...although I don't think I did him justice. He's more handsome than I depicted.)

(Man, that is a lot of stock! lol But at least I used my brother's violin as a still life.)

(Page 342 & 343 (a letter from Eleni) in The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice)
'And we must call together for him somewhere in the countryside the ancient Sabbat with its customary blaze. If we did not, then he would make the theater his funeral pyre.
Our Oldest Friend solemnly granted his wish and you have never seen such a Sabbat as this, for I think we looked all the more hellish in our wigs and fine clothes, our black ruffled vampire dancing costumes, forming the old circle, singing with an actor's bravado the old chants.
"We should have done it on the boulevard," he said. "But here, send this on to my maker," and he put the violin in my hands. We began to dance, all of us, to induce the customary frenzy, and I think we were never more moved, never more in terror, never more sad. He went into the flames.'

that is one of my most favourite scenes in the vampire lestat. poor, poor, sweet nicolas, driven to madness by armand. i wrote a peom about that scene called compassion, i think it captured nicolas' emotions well.

That letter gave me chills when I first read it, yet him sending the violin to Lestat as his last act made me think he let go of his hate long enough to show that he still loved him. Wonderful piece.

Very tragic, yet expected scene. I like the expression on Nicki's face, very solemn and dire.

wow really well done, great job, and it's really cool how you put the links to all the referance pictures in the description.

seeing something really cool painted like this makes me want to try painting again. I tried this sort of painting when I was quite young, and realy have not tried it again since.

this looks really awesome you did a fabulous job on it.

I guess, Armand is that one: Male Jete

A perfect, awesome, brilliant painting. You should paint more. You're amazing. All the background, the figures, the climat of it, everything is sooo good. Thank you for making it

lol Actually I meant for him to be the one closest to Nicki on the right. But I guess the other guy looks like him too.

You're very welcome.
Thanks! Yes, I will have more paintings up fairly soon. One of Marius is finished (I think) but I must get it re-critiqued by my teacher first. xD And this weekend she wants me to come up with an idea for a painting series. Maybe dreams will work.
