IMPERIUS REX! Namor the Sub-Mariner Appreciation 2021

[Phoenixx9]

My latest fan art commission! What if The Defenders were a heavy metal rock band?
The artist is wonderful and I love their work so much!

I love it!!

Each member looks exactly how I would picture them as part of the band.

I like Namor's golden anklets (since with the leather jacket he does not sport his bracelets).

Thanks! I really love this art too. The artist totally nailed their characters!

I agree with everyone else. This is amazing! Excellent choice of subject, IW!

Happy 50th page, Namor and everyone!

Happy 50th page!

As I am doing the fan made by Heyboydraws Namor Bingo card, here is some of my Namor graphics for the prompt Ancient, I went with Rime of the Ancient Mariner and also a painting of Neptune in the background. I hope to finish the Bingo before the end of the year.

Great posts for the 50th page! Love Nick Robles' Namor and your idea behind the "Ancient" prompt. Remember that whole issue that was done to the Rime of the Ancient Mariner?


I'd forgotten about the bingo card. Need to remedy that.

That was a pretty cool tribute! From issue #44 of the 90's series:

It is very very awesome.

I'm looking for that article or interview where someone talked about how Everett used to follow news about the Artic Expeditions? I remember reading it but not where, does anyone have any idea where I might find it?

I'm pretty sure it is mentioned in several articles, as people always asked about where he got the idea for Subby, but I'm not sure exactly which ones. It was definitely in Blake Bell's FIRE AND WATER. You had a scan of the paragraph in one of your posts.

It's from page 53.

EDIT:

Blake Bell footnotes the info came from an Roy Thomas interview with Everett in Alter Ego 11 published in June 1978.

*slaps forehead* I KNEW IT WAS SOMEWHERE! I was rereading some stuff and could not find it and I'm like "it's somewhere! it's here! where is it!" I didn't look thoroughly enough, lol. Thanks Rev!

speaking of the blog, I need to update and revamp it for the new year, it's been ages since I've seen it on a desktop since I'm always on mobile, lol.

Very nice art! I like the "feel" of being able to tell this is underwater with the sunlight punching through somewhat, the air bubbles and also that the waters are cold.

Yes! That's it! Wow. The art is much better than I remember it being. Definitely going to have to re-read that book.

It is very very awesome.

I agree.

I do like the how the sunlight is shown in the water. Cold? Because Namor's huddled over?

Ohhhh I love this!!!

I thought it was very nice. Though ... the really long toenails are kind of ... odd. Definitely dangerous looking. Sort of vampiric / chthonic.
