This drawing really got away from me, but it’s finally DONE. I knew that I didn’t have it in me to draw Namor in all of his Mesoamerican finery, so I cheated and got creative with Photoshop magic. I also thought that Shuri’s outfit should be minimalist to provide a fun contrast, but of course, she’s wearing the jade jewelry that Namor had given her in Talokan.
And in a nod to Wakandan modesty, Namor actually put on some clothes a tunic. It is his wedding day, after all.
I love that the Black Panther movies give us “villains” that aren’t really villains. They have valid points that they’re fighting for, they’re just misguided, blinded by rage and the urge for revenge against those who have hurt their ancestors (coughwhitepeoplecough)
namor being called “a child without love” by a spanish friar who was cooperating with and supporting conquistador enslavers when namor was literally there because he loved his mom and she loved the surface world and this was her home and they were desecrating it with pure evil.. oh it made me MAD
Never gonna get over Namor's face when the queen asked him what did he want and he deadass said "Nothing" because his wet ass was already halfway through the planning of a spring wedding
