Lestat, Louis, and Armand, all as variations of Pierrot. Done with Molotow and Posca paint pens, and color pencil.

Lestat's costume is mostly based on the painting of Pierrot by Jean-Antoine Watteu in 1718. Louis' Pierrot is based on the costume worn by Jean-Charles Deburau, as photographed by Nadar in the 1850s. Despite being the oldest vampire, Armand's costume is the most contemporary, as it's based on the 1975 film "The Adventures of Buratino." This is because Armand is a Theater Nerd (Lestat is a Theater Gay, there is a difference) and he thinks that outfit is the most inventive.
