Also yes this is an open invitation to talk to me about the Morganville Vampire books.

They're a product of their time and have their issues but ultimately are a book series that have stuck with me for a long time. Particularly the characters, ESPECIALLY the characters.

It's a good story your honour, and a fun one.

There's a reason why my very first online handles had Myrnin in the name, my beloved trapdoor spider

This is one of the outfits of Myrnin's I'd really like to try drawing. But at the same time where'd he get the walking stick that sounds cool as fuck

I was possessed by the art demons and decided to draw the bulk of the main cast of major characters from Morganville Vampires.

No, I'm not okay.

Gangs all here in this row.

I've drawn Myrnin many ways before, but I wanted to differentiate him from how I draw Conway as well as not as stylized as in my Morganville/Doctor Who comic. So meet whatever version this is. I'm decently sure I've drawn Claire before, but this isn't anywhere near like that.

I had the hardest time with Shane and Eve and easiest time with Myrnin (I better, I've drawn him similar to this since 2017) and Claire. I'm aware Michael doesn't look like how he does in canon, but I make the rules in my house. :P I think I like how Myrnin, Eve, and Amelie turned out the most. Mostly because I had the most fun with their outfits.

I've drawn Amelie once before and I kept her being Short and on a similar height level to Claire. I also gave her A Stick because it looked cool.

Oliver got to keep his salt-and-pepper widow's peak too from my prior designs. Re: fun and why not. I take a joy in giving long eyelashes to grumpy characters. It gives character to who I would otherwise give squinty eyes and keeps me accountable for actually giving their faces character.

Might draw more characters if anyone wants to drop suggestions.

Whilst Myrnin and Lestat are the vampires that have been closest in my heart for over half of my life, and finding Lestat through someone HCing QotD as Myrnin, now, once again, their parallels have met in a way, and I found a most ridiculous image of flip flops edited onto Lestat in a bedroom scene on Reddit and I couldn't stop thinking about Myrnin again, and his thing for.. unconventional bizarre attire, which I can understand so thoroughly. 🤣 Bravo! I'm weeping.

Here, you are exceptional...There, who knows? They might not value you as much as we do.

Thinking about rereading the Morganville Vampire series. I haven't touched it since college (I graduated college in 2016 so it's been a hot minute) and it makes me wonder if I'm gonna like it as much as I did when I was younger. It was such a great series and I loved the characters. If I get back into it, I might even do some fanfic?

With that being said, I was always kind of on the fence with the Shane and Claire ship. So my question for my fellow fans is: Are there any Claire and Myrnin shippers out there? Don't get me wrong, the dude is hella old and bat shit crazy but I ship them so hard.
