My first historically accurate Disney villain painting EVER! Woo! Behold Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, aka "Prince Tight Pants." It was pretty easy to figure his ball/coronation outfit out, with the help of the ever helpful fripperiesandfobs (who suggested an outfit inspired by Prince Albert's wedding costume circa 1840, and the white military outfit worn by a young Prince Franz Joseph of Austria). For all my issues with Frozen, for the most part I like the design of Hans; his costumes are a clever blend of Regency and early Victorian styles.
This took surprisingly long to do, but I suppose that's not surprising given that white is hard to paint and tight breeches are tricky. For the exact fit of the breeches, I referred to various Regency fashion plates, as Victorian plates tended to be much... vaguer, and far more airbrushed... about how men's clothes fit.
Good grief that is a most eminently punchable: I’m astonished the Southern Isles has yet to invent the guillotine, if this is a true representative of their Royal Family!
