I think I was able to pour into the canvas, what us, APH Rus fans are like as a collective, don't lie to me I know what y´all draw Rus like
I wonder how my poor mother would react if she saw her little daughter being the definition of SIMP(This was made for goofing and giggles I am not past the normal levels of simpery)
I thought about what if it's not pants and all. Short looks weird in a suit so I went for a pencil skirt instead. Doesn't look good to me ngl
Then I thought about it. What if I ditched the suit and thought of a flashy dress? She is the main host, after all. The dress is inspired by one of the gowns Jane Russell wore. Gave her an oversized fur coat because I think that she'd do that to stand out more if a blinding sparkly dress isn't enough.
France draft design:
I have 3 different design for France.
Right to left:
> That was my first initial thought of a design for her. Though it looks very much similar to the male counterpart except for the bottom half of the wardrobe. I thought it was beautiful.
> 2nd one was where I wasn't thinking much. I just went, yeah, dress and a fur boa.
> 3rd one yeah I like this one. I came across a picture in punters and thought it looked amazing. After making this design based on that pic. I realized it's just a lingerie covered in a fancy looking robe LMAO. I am actually conflicted on whether it was 1st or 3rd. I might go back to back between the two when drawing.
Russia:
Listen. I have no idea what Russia is supposed to be. Out of everyone who looked all fancy and ready to gamble their life away or is part of a mafia gang, Russia is just in a winter fit. I just gave her the same winter fit instead.
Anyway. Before I was rudely interrupted I was gonna post unrequited GerFra in which Ludwig is just trying to hold a productive meeting and Francis is trying and failing to rizz him up. More of a sketch than an actual piece btw its wonky all over but it's about the vision okay
The ending of this story is Wang Yao was determined as the murderer, he broke the head of a man who lives alone, sat in the victim's house, watching the news of his own arrest while drinking coffee. the door was knocked on, opened the door he saw Ivan. Wang Yao put the gun into Ivan's hand, pointed the gun at Wang Yao himself, and said goodbye: Although I don't believe in anything, don't let me see you again too early, Vanya.
In general, I really like the theme of the still young brothers, when Pruss is just getting Germany accustomed to going to the summit and all that, and is slowly handing over the reins of governing their country. This is nice, I still have art on this topic in my sketchbook somewhere.
