Namor Nation, why rise up when we could sink down? Time to solve all our problems by moving under the sea! This video is my tribute to Namor's love of his ocean home, with some special guests. So turn up your headphones and enjoy!

Thank you for watching! I hope you had as much fun watching it as I had to make it lol
Namor Week 2023 - Day 1 The Talokan Royalty Trio in their Royal ceremonial costumes.
Sitichandoko commissioned @mariemarion to literally dance with the brushes; I'm genuinely captivated and happy with the pieces!
Talokan Rises! Namor Week 2023 - Day 1 - Talokan or Atlantis
I commissioned this Talokan art from the wonderfully talented @pointdotiozao who did my Atlantis inspired art last year! Here is an alternate version on their blog!
Namor - Tenoch Huerta
Attuma - Alex Livinalli
Namora - Mabel Cadena
Princess Fen - Maria Mercedes Coroy
The Shaman - Josue Maychi
The Scientist - Jewelianna Ramos-Ortiz (the Talokanil woman on the far right, she was in the extra cut scenes of Wakanda Forever as the Talokanil Scientist and I wanted to include her in the art)
And the Talokanil!
OK. Someone at least has to be not even remotely serious about the Talokan theme.
When I first saw the topic, I thought of this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment in the Wakanda Forever movie when we see Talokan denizens playing this mesoamerican ancestor to basketball underwater.
And I said to myself: underwater? But it changes everything with so different a gravity! It’s easier to reach the hoop! Then, the devil constantly sitting on my shoulder started cackling, obviously, when we got to know more about Attuma in the movie and this competitive streak of his.
So… Here’s a doodle, because frankly I’m too tired, I have too little time, and I very much hope someone who draws better will give me a good version of this one day. (I BEG YOU. I NEED THE LAUGH.)
Attuma is totally the one who’ll get too enthusiastic and competitive and will find himself going right through the hoop with the ball. AND GET STUCK. To Namora’s utter delight. And Namor’s utter despair. (Because imagine the number of Talokan youths he has seen in the same predicament over the centuries… right?)
...
...
I regret nothing, @imperiuswrecked. Or will bear the shame, proudly.
Deep water, won't you pull me under?
Won't you pull me closer to the end?
Deep water, won't you pull me deeper?
Won't you cleanse my bloody hands?
Namor Week 2023 - Day 6 - Sirens / Mythology
I commissioned the awesome @pointdotiozao for this Namor/Victor von Doom art! I wanted the vibe to be Namor as a Siren dragging Victor to The Depths as an opposite to the Namor/Dorma art they made for me last year.
I wanna be king in your story
I wanna know who you are
I want your heart to beat for me
Oh, I want you to sing to me softly...
Remember the lake in the moonlight?
Remember you shivered and shone?
I'll never forget what you looked like on that night
The King & Queen of Talokan
Namor Week 2023 - Day 1 - Talokan or Atlantis
I commissioned the beautifully talented @quicksillver for this art of King Namor & Queen Dorma. I really wanted an art of Namor/Dorma in their mcu versions, and since mcu!Dorma hasn’t been cast yet I want to thank @gloriosa-celeste for their fan cast of Yalitza Aparicio as Lady Dorma to be with Tenoch’s Namor!
Vengeance is in my heart
Death is in my hand
Blood and Revenge are hammering in my head

I am Namor, which means Avenging Son!
Namor Week 2023 - Day 5 - Mercy or Revenge @namorweek
I commissioned the astounding @ranaraeuchle for this art! Thank you so much!
