There Goes The Vampurr With Her Coffin Full Of Necessities ⚰️

I used to be mad that my star sign's ruling planet is Jupiter because the god Jupiter is a bit of a cur, but LOOK! I made little stimming paws when I saw this!!

(Side note, no, Meta, I'm not using the fudging app, you sneaky little fopdoodle.)

(Oh wait, I've actually drawn Jupiter/Zeus as a cat!!)

Erik live reaction:

(This happens every week. Erik should not be allowed near good WiFi reception.) Vlad, it's beautiful. The little hairs on his wrinkly forehead are vital. And you used one of my favourite Raoul kooky quotes! My first little bald cat Erik has come so far *teary sigh*

"With Erik, you never know. Is it Erik? Is it the cat? Is it the ghost? No, with Erik, you can't tell!"

@purrlockswatson has this fantastic version of Erik who is a Sphynx cat. So I thought I'd do a portrait of him because I really enjoy drawing cats. And Eriks.

I love Gerik the Cat and cat vampires that you have drawn! Could you draw Gerik as 12 — a supernatural being? He must be so cute with vampire fangs 💗

He's here! The vampurr of the opurra!

Gerik ticks all the vampire essentials except for the FANGS. He even has a Byronic shirt, and we all know Byron was the first model pretty vampire.

From this prompt list! Send in which items (and cats) you want to see! I already have two cat kisses in the wings... 👀

Good morrow!

Here, I get up to shenanigans with fellow artists, review and ramble, post my writing, crafts and PoTO art because reasons.

My main blogs:

Book/history blog: @purrlockholmesbooksblog

Main art blog: @purrlockholmesbooks

My Gothic literature fanfic Gothic Tales from Melancholia is on AO3

The illustrated t-shirt does exist.

What I welcome in my ask box:

-Art requests are always welcome! I mainly draw, but will also get (hand)crafty if you have good, or unhinged, ideas.

-Asks about drawings, writing, OCs and projects.

-Asks for opinions/reviews of books, films, etc. I love researching and jabbering about my findings.

-Personal questions that won't help any unsavoury individuals to find me in real life (i.e., by all means ask me about my existential crises, but not about my nationality).

ARGH.

Original posts: Nosferatu here and Lescat here.

Thank all of you who pressed the little funny buttons!

Happy new year ! :)

(Might be early, because of the time zones)

(Lil doodle, hope you don’t mind)

Ooooh it's Pierce and his floofy tie! Look at the little coquette. That's him during the New Year's Even reveries. This is him after:

I just woke up and the h in aftermath was lost the the void in my brain.

Happy new year to you too, what a lovely gift this is!

The Phantoms meet Love Never Dies Phantom. They are Unamused. I refuse to accept that this Phiasco Phantom is the same entity as the Phantom from the original musical.

I said I'll be pretending LND doesn't exist for the rest of my life. I lied. I watched it yesterday. Lying is bad.

All my Phantom cats here!

I was making my characters miserable in my writing, and now I'm miserable (because of unrelated life things), so now I'm going to go back and wallow in said character's misery some more.

I'm sorry, Pierce, dear, I promise it will get better for us both.

Thank you for the tag, Greenfinch! I'm sorry it took me so long, I have much difficulty choosing favourites. In no specific order:

Christine Daaé - Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux

Mina Harker - Dracula

Noemí Taboada - Mexican Gothic

Edith Sharpe - Crimson Peak (my Gothic is showing, isn't it)

Diana Bishop - All Souls Trilogy

Wednesday Addams

Mary Watson - Sherlock (until the showrunners used her as a plot point. I'm still massively disappointed about that.)

Bella Baxter - Poor Things (the 2023 film, I haven't got my paws on the book yet)

I'm feeling a lack of evil ladies in my list, and it feels too self-indulgent to throw my own crazy lady characters in, so I'm off to find some.

Open tag!
