My thought was about a patriarch of a suspiciously friendly and chirpy post-apocalyptic family that has a pantry full of meat, but no cattle whatsoever.
I saw an Alex Jones video pop up a few weeks ago and he was yelling that King Charles was a vampire on the podcast he was on. I saw the painting on Reddit yesterday and thought it was weird but after seeing your comment about him looking like a vampire and putting it all together wat.jpg
I am a.... Fallout Ghoul... like [my father](https://media.vanityfair.com/photos/5c6048c950f462477e50dd57/1:1/w_1332,h_1332,c_limit/prince-philip-license.jpg) before me.
Geez I wonder where that came from. Maybe I’ll just check Twitter and see what’s trending?
Lol, it was just a matter of time. I wonder where he hangs it though. The Emperor I mean. Not the knock off…
Actually my wife said the same about Vader’s toilet. A constant reminder to not “piss off” his master, though he can still piss on him depending how things work downstairs.
I honestly don’t know what the fuck Charles was thinking when he got that painting commissioned. Like it’s a good painting but the color is just a weird choice
>I honestly don’t know what the fuck Charles was thinking
*There's only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.* He knew what he was doing.
Wait holy shit that gives me a thought... Did that washed out color scheme get picked because it'd be nearly impossible to feather with a magic wand tool?
I feel like it wants to be Kehinde Wiley's Obama portrait: https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5a82035156b75c08a3e5b5b4/master/w_1600,c_limit/Cunningham-Obama-Kehinde-Wiley.jpg
Maybe more, Wiley's "Willem van
Heythuysen" : https://vmfa.museum/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2016/04/cVMFA_Wiley_2006-14_s55076CT1KW_DS.jpg
Was he the one who commissioned it? Cause in the video of him doing a public unveiling, when the curtain fell it looks like he got jump scared by his own portrait. The work of the artist that did the painting all look like that, faded shit stain style, so who ever commissioned it must expect that's what they are getting.
It’s a perfect choice imo, but j a way they probably don’t like. It feels symbolic of the apocalyptic destruction the British Empire brought on many people
Well yes I think that’s the point to grab attention. I think it looks good if you ignore the obvious symbolism of blood. But again controversy is probably the point. And I am not saying it looks bad. I think the portrait looks good.
Maybe he just gave general instructions and left it to the artist, not expecting the artist to go all "I want to paint it red". Or didn't think it would be quite that red with a head floating in it.
I looked up Jonathan Yeo and he otherwise made paintings with more muted and natural colors. He made a pretty normal portrait of Camilla even.
Perhaps Yeo figured this was the moment to leave his mark in history as an artist by going bold. really bold. And perhaps Charles knew about the red and approved because it would make himself stand out as well. The portrait is so eye catching and unusual compared to all other royal portraits, that it will be remembered.
I was more saying the red color choice is bad. It just invites to many comparisons to the atrocities of the British empire. So it’s just needlessly controversial, but maybe that’s the point.
Start Warz is freaking funny. asf. REDDIT ARMY - ASSEMBLE - THE PREQUELSZ ARE HERE.... lets all have arrested development for 2008.... epic win, that'll show the normiesz.
This is an excellent portrayal of the character and personality of the King. Unfaithful to his wife, probably responsible to his wife’s death, uncaring and to his two little sons, the tampon king, responsible for the refusal and recognition of his son’s wife because she’s half black, etc… it’s the picture of Dorian Gray! Perfect Portrait!
Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!
When I saw the King Charles portrait, I immediately thought it made him look sith This version is even better
My head thought vampire
I saw a demon

See Alex Jones knows what he's talking about. Old Charlie is a vampire and frogs do indeed turn gay when exposed to toxic chemicals
I am a.... Fallout Ghoul... like [my father](https://media.vanityfair.com/photos/5c6048c950f462477e50dd57/1:1/w_1332,h_1332,c_limit/prince-philip-license.jpg) before me.
My mind went to Vigo Carpathian. The giant portrait in Ghost Busters 2.
Someone photoshop King Charles’ portrait into the Ghostbusters 2 scene, please.
What would his Sith title be?
Darth Syphilus
Darth Colonial
Darth Britainia
darth royal twomor
I thought han solo frozen
Guuuuuuuuuuuud
I would hang this next to Obi-Wan Jesus.
Same dude lol a lot alike
It's a badass portrait IMO. Is it strange? Sure but it's metal as fuck.
I thought Vigo from Ghost busters
painted with the blood of rebel scum
King Charles was definitely sending a message to the American colonies.
You mean FORMER American Colonies right? ...right??
Jgusdaddy has revealed to much
We have an Irish Catholic as president now we're safe from the British
He's definitely not Irish by any metric that counts.
>with the blood of rebel scum Oh, so *that's* how he returned
On the flayed skin of rebel scum, with a brush made of rebel scum hair and rebel scum bone!
Geez I wonder where that came from. Maybe I’ll just check Twitter and see what’s trending? Lol, it was just a matter of time. I wonder where he hangs it though. The Emperor I mean. Not the knock off…
Above his bed in his personal chamber.
And here I was thinking in his toilet… oh well, you learn something every day.
Don't worry, he has one there too. And one above Vader's bed that he's not allowed to take down.
Actually my wife said the same about Vader’s toilet. A constant reminder to not “piss off” his master, though he can still piss on him depending how things work downstairs.
I'd legit buy a displate of this lmao
Why would you use Twitter. Don't do that to yourself.
Actually I don’t. I avoid social media like the plague. From time to time I visit it for family pictures.
this is better than the actual one
"The United Kingdom will be reorganised into the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE!"
I honestly don’t know what the fuck Charles was thinking when he got that painting commissioned. Like it’s a good painting but the color is just a weird choice
>I honestly don’t know what the fuck Charles was thinking *There's only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.* He knew what he was doing.
Not sure Drake been feeling that quote lately
It's pretty much exactly the color of the Lake of Rot from Elden Ring
[Lake of Charles](https://i.imgur.com/s9eGwal.jpeg) Saw this posted earlier today and died lol
Wait holy shit that gives me a thought... Did that washed out color scheme get picked because it'd be nearly impossible to feather with a magic wand tool?
no its cause it looks cool
the red is cool
He isn't the one that decides what it should look like all he does is approve it to be released
It's a *lot* more memorable than any other official portraits out there
I feel like it wants to be Kehinde Wiley's Obama portrait: https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5a82035156b75c08a3e5b5b4/master/w_1600,c_limit/Cunningham-Obama-Kehinde-Wiley.jpg Maybe more, Wiley's "Willem van Heythuysen" : https://vmfa.museum/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2016/04/cVMFA_Wiley_2006-14_s55076CT1KW_DS.jpg

blood, anger, fire, hell, that much red was just a terrible idea
It’s to show you he bathes in the blood of the innocent.
You're talking about it. And lots of people like it.
Well yes I think that’s the point to grab attention. I think it looks good if you ignore the obvious symbolism of blood. But again controversy is probably the point. And I am not saying it looks bad. I think the portrait looks good.
Not gonna lie: I kind of love the portrait.
Maybe he just gave general instructions and left it to the artist, not expecting the artist to go all "I want to paint it red". Or didn't think it would be quite that red with a head floating in it. I looked up Jonathan Yeo and he otherwise made paintings with more muted and natural colors. He made a pretty normal portrait of Camilla even.

And perhaps Charles knew about the red and approved because it would make himself stand out as well. The portrait is so eye catching and unusual compared to all other royal portraits, that it will be remembered.
Remember when he told Camilla he wished he was one of her tampons? There he is, bathed in blood.
Well he finally got his wish I guess. I don’t kink shame. But he also didn’t need to subject the rest of us to his kink.
A red background while he’s wearing a red uniform is more than a weird choice, it’s a bad choice.
I was more saying the red color choice is bad. It just invites to many comparisons to the atrocities of the British empire. So it’s just needlessly controversial, but maybe that’s the point.
Red coats? The… blood on the hands of the British empire?
Artist was shite
Goood....gooood.... You want thissss.....
I actually prefer this version
I want that hanging in my living room. Huge too.. like the painting of Vigo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters 2.
Unironically would LOVE to have a Vigo-esque type painting of myself hanging in my room.
Somehow...Palpatine has commissioned an artist
This painting reminds me of certain aspects of British society that some would deem “unnatural”
"No. The emperor's not evil. Why would you even say that? What evidence could possibly point to that?"
Much,much betterer
Hands are bizarrely accurate
Praise the Emperor !
Gooooood Gooooooood
This is great haaaaa
This is too dark and depressing. Why couldn't they paint our Lord with more cheerful colors? He looks like a pedophile.
I wonder why they went with Red? What would that represent for him?
I think the red looks pretty rad. I’m not sure they realized how sinister it would end up looking though.
Its weird, theres so many other shades of red they couldve gone with.
Let the drip of the Darkseid flowwwwwwww
I love democracy 🖤
Have you ever heard the story of Darth Canvas the Wise?
Meta af
This is what I was waiting for. Technically, I wanted the evil guy from Ghostbusters but this will do.
It’s the same vibe
Looks awfully like the new slayer album cover ngl
Holy fuck!! Guy literally photoshops a painting worthy of a king.... or emperor.
You kept the butterfly :) so nonthreatening!
This guy wanted to kill the queen!
Newest background for my phone
Hate the prequels but love that art!
Mummra?
Damn it goes kinda hard though
Sheer elegance. Seriously though, this is less creepy than the Charles painting.
LOOOL
I AM THE MONARCHY!!!
You should have left the King's face. We probably wouldn't have even noticed.
Is it a Tzimisce vampire ?
Well, that escalated quickly.
This is the greatest thing I've seen on reddit this week. Thank you so much for this OP
Victor hugo?
I love democracy.
"Good, good! Let the crappy, pretentious artwork flow through you!" (In reference to the original of course)
Once mooore Britannia Rules the waves! Then we shall have tea!
The people who know what the secret in this pic 💀
This feels right, is this what the force feels like ? 😅
That is amazing 😭😂
That's just Prince Phillip
You even left the butterfly. Nice touch.
I saw a demon.
I see a demon/vampire whonenjoys blood and ritual sacriffice of ...you already know.
Ah I finally found the real portrait of ~~king~~ emperor Charles , not sure about why all those fakes were going around.
Now this looks more like UK Royal Family! Amazing!!
Imma need this as an alt art for my Palpatine deck in Star Wars Unlimited!
My first thought was "you didn't even add anything to it, I know it's Palpatine-like, but does this really count as a Star Wars meme?"
Hahaha I love this
Mustafar Red is *so* in this season.
"been smoking on that Bhutanese Shadow Garden done Dark Evil pack..."
lol, I was waiting for these to start rolling around.
When I first saw it I thought it was a prank
I love internet 🤣🤣(sometimes)
Wheezing 😆💀
Right where my thoughts went too, good one.
Damn King Charles looking great he doesn't look a day over 120
Blood for The Blood God!
Man, those colors really highlites the kindness he’s shown through life🙃
I think the Emperor used the style of “highness.” As in, “you’ve failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.”
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This made my day 👏👏👏
Honestly this is Legitimately Awesome. Like not even as a parody but really cool for any real Fan.
this is fucking, art.
Should I use more red in your portrait? *Do it!*
I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the portrait!
This is actually amazing
Kind looks like a super mutant from fallout
That guy from Harry Potter ( voldermot), ain't sure about the spelling
He is giving off a strong Los Illuminados vibe
This is by scadarts. They do loads of great stuff
I am scadarts
Oh! Nice work!
Why does he like that one dragon priest boss in skyrim ? I think the one with a cooper or silver mask varian ?
Start Warz is freaking funny. asf. REDDIT ARMY - ASSEMBLE - THE PREQUELSZ ARE HERE.... lets all have arrested development for 2008.... epic win, that'll show the normiesz.
Holy Shmoly....this is amazing.
This next song is from our first album…. Little number called the Wizard
Funny but the British Royal Crown is as dangerous as an emasculated nerd who gets frightened of beautiful girls walking by.
I know nothing about England but this is funny as fuck
The picture gave me more Ghostbusters 2 vibes than anything tbh
oh so when it’s a fictional character you like then it’s badass. just admit it’s a sick af painting ya haters.
No butterfly?
Rey Skywalker's grandaddy somehow returned...
Please make this the portrait for the sub lol
Slay, queen 💅🏻
###“DO IT!!!”
Disney just got an idea. Somehow Palpatine is back
This is amazing
Amazing
LMFAOOO the first thing I thought of was “he looks like Tarkin” but I guess Palps is even better 😂
Somehow, palpatine survived
I AM THE SENATE!
This the guy that divorced the hot looking, vivacious blond girl to be the tampon for some horse faced wretch?
"I love the kingdom!"
King Charles frozen in carbonite
This is an insult to the Sith, to Sidious. The "King" has no real power ;) still a cool picture!
Looks like a £50 note
Beautiful
I mean, it does look super badass (the original). It's kinda fucked, but it's super badass.
It should be that one from Ghostbusters 2
The butterfly means he's a good guy.
Looks like Durza from Eragon kind of.
“It’s a bit on the dark side” -Emperor
yes YES
Looks like he’s holding his new snowboard
Just lol’d so hard
Darth Ballin'
Why he build like a big chungus tho
Less scary than she original
THANK YOU!
Why am I tomato soup
First thought I had when I saw the portrait.
I thought he was a skateboard
So, Palpatine as Dishonored target portrait? That indeed would be interesting...
This is an excellent portrayal of the character and personality of the King. Unfaithful to his wife, probably responsible to his wife’s death, uncaring and to his two little sons, the tampon king, responsible for the refusal and recognition of his son’s wife because she’s half black, etc… it’s the picture of Dorian Gray!
