Artist's Comments

Armand, Amadeo, Andrei... This is my take on him.

I'm no longer a crazy Anne Rice fan but I always liked that character, and always got annoyed by the way he was portrayed in the movies.

Anyway, I started this one months ago, and decided to finish it. He wasn't supposed to look this young but I guess I got carried away. It was nice to look at old paintings to get the fashion of the century 15 to use as reference.

Steps and close up here: [link]

Craquelure texture from: [link]

Painter 7, X and Photoshop CS3 (yah, I'm a painter biatch).

[Edit]: Got rid of the texture, several people agreed there was something wrong with it and I noticed it was true when I calibrated the monitor.

Ohh! I'm not a crazy Anne Rice fan either, but Armand is one of my favorite characters! :heart:

It's wonderful, so wonderful. And he's so pretty :)

Oh, Amadeo! I always was annoyed by them casting ANTONIO BANDERAS as Armand. What?? That was insane. He didn't fit the bill for Armand at all. :c

Agree that Banderas wasn't a good Armand... But this is a very nice piece, much more like the Armand I imagined...
:iconsoutherndelight:
beautifuly done, and I agree with you about how the character's of anne rice was portrayed in the movies. It made me so angry how they made Marius look, I just wanted to scream!

Your take on Armand is in fact a lot closer to my own, personal imagination than any picture I've looked at so far. And I have looked at a lot of them... If Banderas in "Interview" was bad, then how could we ever describe that... thing... in "Queen of the Damned"... it was so horrible.

So, you really did a nice change for the good. I thank you so much for this. Brings some of my hope back.
