For Marius' week I'm posting a preview of a comic I've been working on (theme Sanctuary). Marius finds an abandoned building to unwind in... but what if he gets lost in his own head instead?

Yes, it's based on his chapter in Prince Lestat.

I'd have liked to have finished this comic 2 months ago but lol.

Marius and Daniel at one of their outings at the local opera. [Prince Lestat era]

This is very specific for my interests. I've seen Carmen myself last week. (this may or may not be implying that Marius has a mild crush on Carmen. They'd be a terrible couple. But as she's entirely fictional, he's allowed to dream :) )

Close-up panel under the cut:

Doesn't really fit any theme for Marius' week. I guess "husbands and wives"?

Saw a bunch of cool leather-clad Lestats for the @vamptember event and remembered I had a sketch lying around... so here's me joining the rockstar's bandwagon (the first 'proper' drawing I've done of him so far?!)

Unrelated extra:

Marius & Daniel: From Rio with Love

(Vamptember prompt "Rio de Janeiro")

Made a basic reference for myself of these three young men with dark curls. (Quinn is based on that one handsome hardcover book art.)

Marius/Daniel appreciation week, Day 1: Round glasses and a typewriter

Bonus:

Would Daniel remember all such details from his mortal life? Let’s say he does. (Btw I don’t usually give him glasses, but for the sake of the prompt, I did; it suits him either way!)

Flowers of Two Thousand Years (Part 1)

Marius-centric comic. The following 9+ pages are closely based on Prince Lestat and The Vampire Lestat. (CW for violent imagery including a vampire turning)

to be continued

I initially didn't plan to spend THIS much time on this part of Marius' Story in TVL; the concept of this comic is to show some parts of Marius' life with the connecting theme of flowers, in quick succession.

Not sure how many pages the rest of the comic will have since I keep adding stuff.............. will probably take awhile.

[[Part 2]]

Armand demonstrates his cloud gift ability.

Daniel is a good listener. Here he's listening intently to Marius telling him a funny anecdote from Ancient Rome, or maybe he's sharing his extensive opinion on Immanuel Kant's Pure Reason.

(Started this a few months ago! Following a summery beach theme in Rio.)

I was making a gift with my shrinky dink sheets and decided to also make some little plastic vampires, for myself

Process pic below

I actually made them twice since I messed up the first round (it's been over 10 years since I last made these!).... now if only I could find my charm straps...

Now for something different; sad art featuring vampire Daniel. Marius is there.

After what we've seen in Blood and Gold, I imagine that once Daniel is able to face and order his thoughts, he will need to process some things emotionally. I'd like for him to have some catharsis.

This is before he and Marius are actually together. Please ignore the seeming height difference or imagine Daniel kneeling on an elevated surface or something.

[[Part 1]] You may need to have read The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned to understand the following 9 pages:

The next update will be the last one.
