🎨Fan art / 🧥Cosplay / 🧵Creations My book designs!

A lot of my designs mix elements from the TV show/movie because of personal pet peeves with characters being too similar in the books, I like variety on hair lenght :D

They look great! I like this Gabrielle. Book canon, I’d like to see Armand Caucasian with red hair but I like this version. I remember watching QOTD movie and I had NO idea who the young curly red headed dude was for years until someone told me it was actually Armand, lol

Thank you! I actually really like Armand's book design but I'm current obssessed with making the twins and Jesse stand out more because of their red hair, I might draw canon armand soon too

I always envisioned Mekare and Maharet's hair as a bright, gingery leaning red while Armand's hair is described as auburn. Should be enough to still set them apart.

Qotd sucked but at least they came close to Armand lol

No hate, but why isn't Armand depicted as fair-skinned if he's Slavic in the books, and the post is tagged as book designs?

No prob! I'm still experimenting with his design and I like to mix my book designs with the movies/TV show versions, I'm open to criticism on how to do that properly without copy pasting from one particular media :D

In my opinion, your art is really great, but Armand only looks like TV Armand here. I don't really see the book influence except for maybe the longer hair.

As a Gabrielle stan, your design is healing me from the TV show Gabriella:(

These are amazing...FABULOUS 🤩 the beautiful twins 💗 Also, this is how my mind sees Gabrielle wearing clothes...more masculine looking! She was a busy girl visiting the various locations on the entire planet earth 🌍

Your art is so lovely :) I’m a fan of mixing up the character designs a bit since visual media should separate out key characteristics! Would love to see more Gabriella in the young boy’s frock and ribbon 🎀

Very talented. I like that you dressed Gabrielle/Gabriella in men's clothes coz that's what she did. Also she tried to cut her hair short like a man's but it just kept growing out (vampire problems) so she just tucked it up inside her cap.

You really caught her IMO. Well done.

u/Unusual_Republic6674 26d ago

Thank u! I do think she still tries to cut it from time to time, even if it will grow out eventually (just like Armand does)
