Description "Your hair's like something spun from amber, as if the amber would melt and could be drawn from candle flames in long airy threads and let to dry that way to make all these shining tresses. You're sweet, boylike and pretty as a girl"
--from "The Vampire Armand

I finally decided to swallow my dislike for my Wacom tablet and have a go at airbrushing. It turned out better than expected. Credits: Deep down somewhere there is a stockphoto of this guy [link] from *virgin-stock I thought he was the perfect Armand and I hope you agree
I didn't know where to submit this as it isn't really a photomanip, -nor is it airbrushed from scratch as I painted over a photo, so I chose miscellaneous. I hate that category =/
Oh well nevermind, hope you like my interpretation of Armand, -or Amadeo as I prefer to call him

characters of the Vampire Chronicles are Β©Anne Rice

I actually used your beautiful artwork for a cosplay I am building of Armand, granted my hair is way too dark

I've been looking for this pic for ages to find the artist of it, it has been an off and on search for years to find this page. I have been looking for one reason, and that is to say "Were you spying on me in high school?" This is what I looked like AND how I dressed. A friend showed it to me originally having thought it was a photo I posed for.

Fantastic work by the way. Creepier for me than it is for others that are calling it creepy, but very wonderfully done.

Ah, you chose a brilliant reference photo for him! Armand looks just like a sulky teenager in this one Great work, the painting over the photo is virtually seamless.

I only found this now (4 years after it was posted?) but I just wanted to say that it's beautiful! It's great to see Amadeo as he should look
I love everything about this, really, fantastic job!
It doesn't help with my obsession with the book any, though

Pretty! Your interpretation really suits the real Armand, not like the one in Interview.
Then he reminds me Satan in a painting by Alexandre Cabanel, maybe you know it

ToddD87 [2008-01-17 04:43:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh my god. This is amazing. I think you're the only artist I've seen that has captured Armands feminine beauty without making him into a girl, as well as getting his age exactly right.

This is remarkable.

*dies* I love Armand! Soooo sexy, so wonderful! And that evil-ish eyes! And the face! And the hair! I think it's the best picture of Armand I've ever seen Similar to the one im my imagination - though I imagine the hair a bit longer and maybe more curly.
