hc: caleb's birthday portraits
When Caleb was born, Lilith received a box of crayons and a ream of paper from their father, who instructed her to draw the baby. He explained that they needed pictures to send to her grandparents so they’d know what her new brother looked like. It was a very important responsibility, one he urged her to take seriously, so she got to work.
Lilith was two and a half years old at the time. Those drawings didn’t clarify a thing for her grandparents, but they kept her occupied while her mother, exhausted after a difficult labor, got a bit of rest.
A year later, while Lilith’s mother was busy preparing Caleb’s birthday celebration, her father once again approached her, this time with even more crayons and paper, and told her to draw her brother so their grandparents could see how he'd grown. These ones were a little better, but the grandparents probably got a bit more out of the actual photographs mailed along with the drawings. It became a yearly tradition, and she kept it up even after Caleb stopped aging. She still has almost all of the portraits, except the ones from his 4th, 7th, 29th, and 56th birthdays. There are so many now that storing them is a logistical challenge.
Caleb thinks that the collection is a fascinating representation of the vampiric existence. He, the subject, does not meaningfully change portrait to portrait, year to year. He knows that he hasn’t, but there’s something about she sheer size of the collection - literally dozens of paintings, all with the same face - that really drives that point home. On the other hand, they’re a detailed record of Lilith’s evolution as an artist. Caleb looks the same in every painting, but no two paintings look alike. She has changed and grown, though she looks the same as she always has. He's grown too.
There’s something meaningful about that, so every year, he agrees to another portrait. Thankfully, Lilith paints quickly and vampires can hold a pose.
Also, March 23rd feels like a good birthday for Caleb. I think that'd be right around Spring 1, if we take the equinox to be the beginning of spring.

1890-1940 // portraits of caleb & lilith vatore
Third and final part of the series! A decade-by-decade view of the Vatore siblings covering 1890-1940. I hc them as having been born in the late 1930s/early 1940s, so to me this isn't actually a record of their life but rather just a photoshoot of the two of them playing dress-up. Sibling bonding!
I'm going to make these into wall art like I did with the Lilith portraits - I should have them up in a few days.

1890-1940 // portraits of caleb vatore
Made as a companion to these portraits of Lilith. I'll make these into cc wall art next, along with the sibling portraits I'll put up shortly.
As I said in the last post, I see the Vatores as having been born in the late 1930s/early 1940s, meaning none of these clothes belong to him and these photos were taken in like, the 1980s or some shit. I chose a short haircut for Caleb for these renders, but you're free to imagine side bangs stuffed into those hats. I know I will.
Men's fashion is a lot more limited, both in terms of CC and real life clothing, and the differences between cuts/hats/etc can be pretty subtle. This set isn't as historically accurate as Lilith's, and I'm chalking that up to Caleb being less invested in the whole affair than she was.

The vibe is vampire romance novel cover shoot.
A while ago, @fallstaticexit planted a seed in my brain about vampire Morgyn and it's finally sprouted! I feel like they would play up the drama of it all by using their new glowing eyes, fangs, and pointy ears to heighten their already fabulous style. I see no reason why they couldn't still be a spellcaster (ignoring game mechanics), so that would still be a major influence on their aesthetic. Of course, I had to give Caleb his flowing locks and corseted waist moment too for the full vampire power couple fantasy. Lilith had better watch her back!
There’s something awful strange about those Vatore kids up in Forgotten Hollow...
Townie Makeovers 1/???
The Vatores, Forgtten Hollow
Townie makeovers are so appealing to me seeing as I can’t leave CAS, ever. I’m so proud that this post actually includes an in-game shot where I rotated the camera correctly. There is life in my poor, sad laptop yet!
Here’s Caleb and Lilith Vatore, Vampire siblings. They were delightfully emo originally bless, but I felt like hitting a more mid-century vintage nod with them. I don’t know why, but the thought of vampires existing in a maelstrom of 60s and 70s prints a la Dark Shadows is endlessly hilarious to me.
Also, is it just me or is Lilith is actually a really stunning sim in general - she gives me serious Rachael vibes from Blade Runner...
Hear no Evil, See no Evil
I love them. I really do.
I couldn’t bear to make Caleb as *scene* as EA made him, so he’s mostly inspired by Robert Sheehan as Klaus in the Umbrella Academy. I don’t know why he miraculously becomes clean shaven when he takes his dark form but hey ho.
I gave Vlad lots of conspicuous blusher if only because, in my mind, the longer you’re a vamp, the harder it is to hide it. So he needs a lot of blusher to convince everyone that he’s a real boy. I don’t think he’s fooling anyone bless.
