Working on this commission was a great experience, I had such a good time figuring out all of the design details of the clothing and throne, and working with so much colour!
Dorma, will you be no longer my Lady... and become instead, my Bride?
No sands need flow, Namor, while I weigh my answer. It is... yes!
Emperor Namor & Empress Dorma

But the hour is getting late.
My son. My heir. My legacy.
Let us go then, you and I.
And I will show you how to save the world.
King Victor Von Doom & Prince Kristoff of Latveria
Thank you to the wonderful @ecairnsart for my Von Doom Royal Family Portrait! I'm once again in awe of your beautiful talent and art. ID and more below the cut~
[ID: Victor Von Doom sits front and center on an elaborately carved wood throne as the King of Latveria, the back of the throne shows a letter D engraving, and there is a detailed open mouthed lion’s head carved into the visible arm, the other side is covered by Doom’s cape which is draped over it. Doom wears a furred cape fastened by detailed decorative clasps, and a fine sash crosses his tunic. The medals on his chest represent his heritage, one is a symbol of the Roma flag, one is a letter W to represent his mother’s symbol, one is a pentagram to represent magic. Doom’s eyes are locked on the viewer from behind his mask. One arm rests on his knee while his other hand holds a unsheathed medieval inspired longsword by the hilt with its sharp end resting on the ground.
Two black dogs sit at Victor’s feet, while his son, Kristoff, stands to his right and just behind his throne. Kristoff also wears sashes and medals on his suit that represent his heritage and place as Prince of Latveria. He wears a fine cape with the symbol of Doom visible to the viewer. Unlike Victor who is completely armored and wears a hooded tunic and cape, Kristoff’s hood is drawn down, while his face and hair are visible, he wears gloves rather than metal gauntlets. Kristoff’s armor is minimal and the only visible parts cover his neck, jaw, and the lower part of his head. Kristoff’s eyes are also on the viewer while he stands proudly beside his father. His left hand rests on the pommel of a sheathed renaissance era sword.
The unmasked version shows Victor’s face, the right side of his face shows a jagged scar that runs from under his eye, down his cheek. /END ID]
Artist Notes:
Doom of course is seated front and center, with the dogs at his side and Kristoff at his right hand. The throne is elaborately carved wood and kept relatively dark so that it doesn't draw the eye away from the main figures of the painting.
The portrait composition is inspired by 18th/19th century aristocratic/royal portraits.
Doom’s sword, inspired by Maleev’s various paintings of Doom featuring a sword, is a medieval inspired longsword. In contrast Kristoff’s sword is a renaissance era inspired weapon, reflecting Victor as the medieval king and Kristoff as his younger heir.
Victor’s sword and position upon his throne works well as a kind of powerful element, like most royal portraits, it is intended to project a particular image of Latveria's rulers - specifically one of strength, in a bit of contrast to the early portrait representing Doom as a paternal figure and friend to the children of Latveria as represented by a young Kristoff.
You asked me to use some symbolism relevant to their backgrounds for the medals and such: I used a W - like shape from his mother’s chest of magical items in one of Victor’s medals and also on the top of his throne. A wheel-like design (as on the Roma flag) on a medal to represent his heritage, this design is also present in the medallions and on the chest/shoulders holding Kristoff’s cloak. A pentagram symbol on another medal and on the hilt of Victor’s sword to represent his use of magic.
Both of them are wearing somewhat "fancier" versions of typical outfits that we've seen them in from the comics - I've pulled various elements in, (the sashes and medals from Doom's wedding issue) and from Kristoff's appearance in New Avengers.
Victor’s scar is designed after Jack Kirby’s unmasked Doom drawing.

This art commission is a companion follow up to a previous Von Doom family portrait art that Ecairnsart created for me, in the older piece Victor and Kristoff have a more whimsical vibe, with Victor reading a book of children’s tales to a young Kristoff while their pet tiger lounges by them.
After Ev presented this piece I knew that I needed an art that showed them in later years, that it needed to be something more somber and austere than the fanciful family portrait of Kristoff’s youth. I wanted to show that years have passed, how the hardships and their personal choices have created a sort of invisible gulf between them but they have a deep bond as adopted family that they can’t ever fully sever. Both are dressed in their best clothing and armor, their portrait shows the image they’ve created for themselves, this is how they present themselves to the world. In contrast to the older portrait there are no colors nor fantastical tiger, instead there are two dogs that give off an almost cerberus vibe, guard dogs instead of a powerful but tamed tiger. Kristoff is waiting just outside of the shadows as Victor’s heir to take his place on the throne of Latveria while Victor sits at the ready to swing his sword in defense of his beloved country and people.
The call back to Victor being the “Lion of Latveria” is in the engraved lion’s head which I thought was another brilliant idea from Ecairnsart. I love how much thought they put into every detail of their work, and how they brought in Victor and Kristoff’s Romani heritage. Ecairnsart also created an unmasked Doom version which I absolutely love as much as the masked version. I love how Victor’s unscarred side is the one he presents to the viewer while the scarred side is hidden a bit more, how he might be uncomfortable being seen unmasked and that perhaps this version of the portrait is one he keeps only in family living spaces in the castle while the other masked version is prominently displayed in the public spaces of the castle. I’ve been a big fan of Ecairnsart’s work for years now and every new piece they create only reminds me how wonderfully talented and dedicated they are to their craft.
I love Victor & Kristoff very much and I’m overjoyed to have another family art of them to cherish.

Do u think peter blames himself for what happened to felicia?
Oh definitely, I feel like "blames himself for what happened" is a classic Peter trait across any universe that's worth keeping tracking of. The fact that he couldn't have known that his actions would inadvertently lead to her being attacked doesn't mean that he isn't going to feel that he's responsible for having put her in that danger and failed to protect her. It's consistent with his core characteristics and it's an element of the dynamic between Felicia and Peter post-Eyes Without A Face that I'm particularly interested in exploring in my artwork of them.
More broadly on the topic of blaming himself, we see interesting differences in where his sense of guilt originates and how it plays out in Noir compared to 616. After all, in Noir his uncle is killed prior to the main plot under circumstances that were absolutely not related to Peter's actions, and so a lifelong sense of guilt isn't part of his reaction to that specific event like it is in 616 (I would say that Felicia and Robbie's injuries in Eyes Without a Face fill this role instead). Noir's version of the classic "with great power comes great responsibility" line therefore isn't a lesson learned from how Peter's failure to act led to his uncle's death; in this universe, the line goes "if those in power can't be trusted, it's the responsibility of the people to remove them" and it's something that he was told by his uncle that's specifically linked to communist/socialist organizing and the violence of the first world war. Pretty different! And those differences manifest in interesting ways regarding Noir!Peter's methods and motivations, which is a big part of why I like this particular universe so much.

As a long time fan of this character I love Namor with all my heart & now my dream of finally seeing him in a movie is coming true so I had to commission the very talented @ecairnsart for another beautiful Sub-Mariner portrait this time featuring Tenoch Huerta’s Namor!
(I also asked Ev for some variants, one with some color in his earring/nose jewelry, and one “what if MCU Namor had gills like Comic Namor”)
