HORN OF AFRICA COMPILATION (+ BONUS SUDAN)

Despite being loaded with work I had the sudden urge to draw out my Horn of Africa OCs (+ bonus Sudan who snuck in there 🤷)

Anyways, I tested out Vegalia’s hair brushes while drawing these guys and I had tons of fun!! I would recommend it to anyone else who wants to try more diverse hair types, even if its just as a reference for you to draw over👍

I have thought about dedicating a blog in making a aph comic focusing on hoa relations so Im starting off with Abyan. This is not the official design for the character although I do love this look  :3

Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me what you think of my OC’s design. It’s only a quick doodle, so I’m definitely going to improve the art style. Thank you very much!

Ah, she's so cute! 

As for her design, I think it's looking pretty good! And her name is accurate as well. 

Great start! Keep it up!

Somalia still has her suit from her pirating days, which she vaguely remembers.

king.. can i hear your opinions on your somalia por favor 🥺 im starved for hetalia content with somalia

SHIT MATE YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE

Somaliland is his sister

Djibouti is like a daughter/younger sister to him

Sailor man

May look intimidating and distant upon first glance but he is painfully friendly and chatty and talk your ear off about something that’s only tangentially related

compared to the other east africans, he will actually tell you if he has a problem w u instead of ignoring and deflecting for 328984328 years lmao

He and Ethiopia argue over coffee everyday

I feel stupid for asking this so im using anon, but how do you draw the hijab? Whenever I try it looks like an egg www

also, Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah bless you

Don’t feel stupid for asking! Drawing is hard no matter what you’re drawing, so don’t be afraid to ask for help^^ But honestly even I feel like the best of my hijabis look a little egg-like, and that’s okay!

This tutorial is already taking so goddamn long, so I’m just gonna link my coloring and shading tutorial I did a month ago 😭😭

Gosh, I hope what I wrote made sense 😅 But thank you so much for the well wishes! Happy Ramadan (Eid Mubarak at this point WAHHH), and the same to you, may you and your loved ones have many blessings!!

Umm if it isn't too much of a hassle, can you draw male (nyo) Pak with male somalia?? I like these two countries and i really like your designs for both male and female somalia. Thank you for your Pak content :D

AWW THANK U FOR UR KIND WORDS.... and i’ve been itching to draw smth abt mister somalia recently! Here’s mister somalia and mister pak enjoying some fried coffee! Somalia is probably boring regaling pak w some story back in his day...

Coffee beans are called “bun” in the Somali language, and are used in a variety of foods and special rituals. This specific dish is eaten when welcoming guests, as a part of a morning ritual, or during meditation sessions called dhikr, an islamic form of devotional chanting praising God; it’s prepared by frying whole coffee beans in oil or ghee. Sometimes, sugar may be added to sweeten it, or it may be eaten with popcorn or a dish of boiled azuki beans called cambuulo or ambulo. Bun is served from a wooden vessel called a kur (though I have seen it be called a kurbin) It is typically eaten just a few at a time, ladling two or three of the fried beans (with a little ghee or oil) on the palm. You eat off the palm, and any remaining ghee/oil is applied to the forehead. Not only does it have cosmetic purposes, it’s said to prepare a person to face the world; this process is called foolbaxsi.

BONUS:

miss pak would prbly know miss djibouti better, even if the two countries have only established formal ties recently- they both love to gossip over tea and snacks~

once again, these pak designs belong to my friend @hammyletto!!

do you have any headcanons about ethiopia?

Found coffee while he was on a religious stint in a monastery, shared it with Somalia, who shared it with Yemen, and from there it spread across the muslim world

Thinks Somalia is too rude and blunt lmao

Was forced to work with Sudan for a few decades to kick out Ottoman Turkey from eastern Africa (Turkey had also kidnapped Eritrea which was.... a strange episode)

Fought against Djibouti when she was the Adal Kingdom in a Portuguese-Ottoman proxy war

He's known Iran for a verryyyyy long time- in his childhood, he fought with Iran over control of Yemen and they've maintained cultural ties and exchange for two thousands years

Great at chess! (particularly the Ethiopian variant, senterej)

When firearms were introduced, he was.... not particularly skilled at wielding them for a while

He would rather die than let a guest pay for lunch

Makes a mean spaghetti and lasagna

what's a weird fact abt ur ocs you havent talked abt before?

hmmmm here's a few!

Uganda's hair started falling out in the 70s from stress and he decided to go completely shaved- it's been slowly recovering since, but he still has it shaved bald out of habit

Tunisia's beauty mark is in the exact same place as Carthage's 👁👁

Oman crashed at Zanzibar's house for like. a decade or two when his empire fell apart

That eventually led to her house being the gathering place of the "Indian Ocean African+Middle East Old Man Nations" club, where Yemen, Oman, Somalia, and Ethiopia go to drink coffee and bitch @ each other (mostly the last two)
