METTATONVS REX

After the king Asgore had been overthrown by a Human Child, his spouse, Undyne and Dr. Alphys 'disappearing'. Mettaton now takes the trone as the underground's newest king. Everybody adored him including the Human Child. An army of robots was amassed by the monarch forming his own underground empire of Napoleonic proportions. Now his conquest to the surface begins, and all of Monsterkind will see the sun under King Mettaton's rule.

Designing METTATONVS REX had been a huge blast for me especially when it comes to the inspiration; of which is the Emperor Napoleon and his nephew (Napoleon III). METTATONVS REX's uniform is heavily similar from a portrait of Napoleon III, while the crown is based on Napoleon Bonaparte's wreath on his coronation. I might even make custom sprites of METTATONVS REX's army which consist of Soldiers inspired by British Red Coats seen in the Battle of Waterloo but with Mettaton's original rectangular head. This is also my headcanon when Mettaton becomes king if one kills Asgore in the game.

JEAN-AUGUSTE INGRES ‐ NAPOLEON I ON HIS IMPERIAL THRONE, 1806

In this depiction, Napoleon is shown wearing a lavish and intricately detailed coronation attire that he donned in 1804 upon officially taking over France. He wears a golden civic crown on his head, similar to the one Julius Caesar wore in Ancient Rome for his military successes. In his right hand, he holds Charlemagne sceptre, and the hand of justice is in his left hand.

The artwork made its debut at the Paris Salon in 1806 with the name "His Majesty the Emperor seated on his throne." It was owned by the Corps législatif at the time, which was established by Napoleon after the French Revolution.

Critics said it had an outdated style. They theorize that Ingres took inspiration from the Statue of Zeus at Olympia for the pose and grandeur he gave Napoleon. Phidias constructed this extremely sizable statue around 435 BC.

Despite the fact that Ingres is best known for his portraits in modern times, this portrait was not well received when it was first displayed. Critics thought that Ingres’s use of symbolism and borrowing from previous masterpieces was similar to imitation. They viewed it as overly gothic and outdated.
