How did Lucian get turned ? Or was he born this way ? Lastly, does he have a vampire family ?

Lucian is the type of vampire who can have children, so yes, he was born a vampire, not turned. This type of vampire is weakest of the species, so their strength lies in creating a large family. Lucian was also meant to continue the great line and his father had big plans for him as his main heir. But in the end, that didn't happen. Lucian's only immediate family is his older brother Christian, but the last time they spoke was when they were about 16 and 21.

What is Matthias story? How'd he end up with a vampire?

He honestly tried to get rid of him, the problem is that Lucian is a real leech!

Lucian gives me such gender envy. I love him so much! 💖

Thank you! 💛

Who is the person behind Lucian in "the hollow vessel"? Being so distinct i think they are important?

Yep, this is Olivia! She is a ghost and for a long time she was Lucian's only friend.

Happy Pride Month!!

Yay, Happy Pride Month! (and so that not only the one month would be happy for all queers, but also ALL months of the year) ✨

This is more of an ask for the artist. I SWEAR I've seen you use a broken vase motif for Lucian before somewhere. Could you explain what it symbolises?

Hey there! Yes, indeed, I used this motif several times! This is partly a symbol of his being a medium - he has no "soul" in the conventional sense (that's why there is a name "Hollow Vessel" for one of the pieces). But it's also a symbol of how Lucian has perceived himself over the years - a pretty vase, a pretty face, an object without personality or core, broken and empty. (It will get better with time and when he will stop being lonely)
