Apparently if I don't post this tonight I will be flogged with a bolster so please excuse any excess stupidity.

To cut a long story short: internet problems (yes, again), SMT: Devil Survivor, Darker than Black, Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, historical novels, piling deadlines, and revelations of my own uselessness histrionics.

I've also been researching BDSM ("the english vice"), the process of Cuban rum-making, wigs, moe anthropomorphism (I think that is how you spell it), domestic violence, breaking my brain in After Effects, all at the same time, for various college projects.

On the side we have made (and consumed) sangria and nutella marble cake.

So, with this, that and the other thing, I've not been active much.

Oh yeh re: steampowers

panthael_angel: So basically it's Hetalia characters, Victorian-ish fashion and then they add cogs
starstray: What cocks what
chikotori: Cogs you fool

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ugh definitely need my ears cleaned.

ok I shut up now

2 x gijinka/original
2 x Musou

some large-ish files (~500kb each)
subject range: Cuba, macaroons, hetaliasean, ++
95% junk




**MISC**





I get bored during lectures even if they are about comics - and my eye, Hideyoshi and Nene's new designs are so boring.



original character that kind of looks like nomnomnim's Dr Syn Arthur; although I swear I came up with his design before she suggested that to me



Another dude witch, this started out as a Misdreavus gijinka and evolved.








**HETALIA**




based on comments some people left on a previous post about macarons; I still read all comments even though I suck at replying =3=



I thought this kind of thing only happened in movies but at approx. 6 pm each day apparently people in Paris do walk their dogs and go to the boulangerie to buy baguettes.



the Rt. Hon Arthur Kirkland, Esq.



commission.
By the time I got around to Austria, I ran out of energy.
might revise/reuse pose + add bg



another commission by the same person, panthael_angel said France looked like a sex tourist and now I can't unsee it . . . ... orz||||



done for hetaliasunshine, requested by mcmitters
totally lame but it sounded great at 3 am in the morning.



A prompt from theotherdenise, for her birthday, which I was late for



come to my armmmmms angleterre

A prompt from cleartempest for her birthday, which I was also late for; the quote and setting is from her Fr+UK fic


out of randomosity this is a close up of england (so you can see his eyebrows) and france (so you can see his spindle legs that had not yet filled out to perfection and my shitty brushwork).
Sadly for england, his own spindle legs were never to mature to perfection.



card for djkiku's birthday, probably the only birthday that I actually posted things off in time for



quickie done as a deposit for panthael_angel's birthday present since I didn't think I could finish her proper present in time; I somehow think I'm more comfortable drawing manry men and idiots than cool bishounen



Cuba.
I had to do a lot of research on him recently.
since this project will go on for another month it is very likely that any fanart done in the future will be of this ossan.

More projectwork: ok colour-wise the next picture is kind of blinding



lololol probably the ugliest cuba+canada fanart in existence... well I had to fill the space in the street somehow
ignore the chicken please my brain doesn't work properly late at night.



truly a doodle page



ref: Hetalia 41, France + UK so adorkable
btw, SIS = official name of MI6



l to r: Thai-san, Malaysia, Singapore (do Singaporeans use 'gila'? if not, I'll edit)
The "old newspaper song" is a (sometimes quite annoying) recording played by the vans that collect old newspapers from homes in Malaysia/Singapore. I uploaded a rock cover by Lo here if anyone's curious.
the broom was going to be a penyapu lidi but a penyapu lidi is not long enough to play air guitar with.
Designs based off jali_jali's Hetalia ASEAN OCs <3



and something I drew at London Expo (the leftmost one)
the other two papers there constitute the results of an enlightened and erudite discussion between an illustrator, a graphic designer and a product designer






**AHOU MANGA**







prompt by the person who tells me stupid jokes at 3 am in the morning panthael_angel:

This comic is not historically accurate. Anachronistic Dickens quote is anachronistic :O
Howtowdie. It's Scottish roast chicken.
Enid Blyton asserts (like Arthur, and l'Ecosse) that macaroons (note additional 'o') are scrumptious (see: Five on Finniston Farm). It is all LIES I tell you, LIES.
hikari_datenshi says they are scrumptious too. I think it is her British tastebuds speaking.
I also don't understand the British obsession with coconut. (cf. Bounty; "Malaysian coconut" flavour yoghurt)




another stupid 3 am joke
I need to stop drawing those stupid 3 am jokes


I'm trying to stop slipping back into the whole hiatus/lurker routine. It's hard.

Gotta code the wig thing though so no comments from me today (again), sorry OTL|||

EDIT: Fixed the link for old newspaper song, moral of the story: posting at 5 am you are bound to make some stupid mistake or other
