You Know What? I'm So Busy It's Boring Me To Death, Let Me Actually Write A Novel In The Hashtags.

They make each other worse - in a sweet way. Sarah is very, very done with their hijinks.

How to cheer up a vampire who deals with the pain of immortal existence by crying and bedrotting instead of binge-drinking (arterial blood) and building cults and evil empires.

"You can take me hot to go!"

If I have adorableness, you get adorableness. If I get brainrot, well, so do you! Je suis désolée.

All phantom cat stuff here!

Finished a(nother) draft of my writing and looked down to see my gingerbread vampire looking back at me like this:

Mr Pierce... Mr Pierce, what have you done? What do you know? Why are you looking like me that?

Well. Unless this little doofus has better ideas, Tale One is complete - that is to say, it has a beginning and an end and a relatively coherent plot in between. That's a victory for me!

I have to delete so much stuff... too many long talking scenes about the meaning of life and such. I don't know how it happened, and I'm eager for it to un-happen.

Christine takes Erik shopping for his "birthday." (See Erik's Shopping Nose in action!)

I had the urge to write this in French. Désolée if there's any atrocities or if you can't understand it. English transcript in the ALT!

And this is probably the only time you'll ever see Mall Phanton Eric since I'm not the slasher kind of person. Get Erik with a C far away from me.

More PoTO cat comics here!

Somehow, I'm unable to draw cats or hampsters now, so I made MCR-themed keychain earrings and a Black Parade parade zeppelin choker. I'm strangely mesmerised by the zeppelins in the WTTBP music video.

The Hotel Bella Muerte keychain can only be seen for one blurry second in A Summoning, but I've seen many renditions made by Etsy sellers, and they all seem to agree that it has a Lil Guy.

The Desolation Row one is based on Gerard Way's trousers. It felt like a legitimate design choice at the time and I ran with it.

MCR art from when I can still do it

C'est le 💅🏻Fantôme💅🏻

I’m reading the Le Fantôme de L'Ôpéra. Here are some highlights of my Kindle highlights:

The correct translation is actually something like 'she was reading a book with gold edging,' tranche meaning both 'edge (of a book)' and 'rasher (of bacon.)'

(As a walking, talking dictionary, I am morally obliged to mention that the translation is actually ‘dandies’ not 'gentlemen.')

You can probably guess that the last word means ‘unmask.’ And we all know how well that goes down with Erik.

Poor Persian, though.

This segment was cut out of De Mattos's English translation, so I don't have an explanation for this. (See replies for Vlad's traslation!)

Being a Goth has really improved my French. First I kept writing French captions for my Interview with the Vampurr comics (examples here and here), and now I'm reading a French classic despite only understanding around 1 word in 5.

Characters from The Phantom of the Parachute, or something

(Why, hello, it's my weird sense of humour again!)

Too tired to draw, so I'm whipping out this old thing. It's me and the geniuses I share joint custody of a braincell with - @blackforrestpunk and @vladimirsangel . If you feel particularly un-brained today, it's probably my fault, I was forced to pummel the braincell because of a series of circumstances that led me to interview a vet and snail around on public transport for hours. But I had pizza, so that was all right.

(See here for context)

*Catatonic in the floor because I'm on art break and can't make more of these*

Coffin pillow talk

That scene when Lestat talked from inside his coffin is inexplicably hilarious to me. ⚰️

I seem to be unable to stop myself from hitting vampires in the face in these drawings. I swear it's not a thing. See Armeownd get hit in the face by a laptop here! Also Rockstar Lestat meets Taylor Swift here!

(The number of silly comics I've made about Interview with the Vampire has become slightly concerning to me. I'm doing it to stave off the misery -- I'm yet to recover from season 2, episode 1.)

why is daroga so fat

Because of magnificent fur:

But I don't generally assign body shapes to my goober cats unless it's explicitly in the design of their human counterparts. So he can be anything you like.

Small cats are not always small characters (case in point: Kitty Cherik). I draw whatever best showcases my perception of the character.
