" Ah, I can see what this coven is going to be like, advice from all sides, and everyone watching everyone else out of the corner of an eye."

The Queen of the Damned

" Vampires do not really want the company of other vampires. They want the love of other immortals, yes, always, and they need it, and they need the deep bonds of loyalty which inevitably grow amongst those who refuse to become enemies. But they don't want the company."

The Vampire Armand

NOTE: The file is HUGE. I put the artworks in their original sizes to see the maximum effect.

At last it's finished.

Since vampires are again taking center stage, I wanted to relive the glory of Anne Rice's endearing vampires. The mischievous Lestat, the sorrowful Louis, the tragic Claudia, Boticelli-angel-faced Armand and the sagelike Marius. They kept me company in my literary loneliness even when I was a kid.

It took me more than a month to finish this thing. Too much reading and too much time on my hands. But this kept me sane so I'm grateful.

Anne Rice's Vampires from her Vampire Chronicle series. I have yet to read the later books namely Merrick and Blackwood Farm to name a few. But I'm quite enamored to the earlier books (so the Mayfair Witches and Quinn aren't here.)

A vampire a day was supposedly my quota. But I ended up doing more than that (It took me 3 days to finish Lestat).

I wanted to draw each vampire with the things that reminded me of them like giving Lestat the wolves and Marius his love for the color red. And the list of course goes on. I may have made some mistakes about how some of them look like. Since I have trouble looking at the books every now and then (laziness is an evil thing). So I'm sorry about that. But I did exert too much effort so my mind is in a whirl.

I dedicate this piece to all of my fellow Riceans out there. You know who you guys are. Long live!

Enjoy everyone.^^
