All Line Up

Okay, this looks loads better now that it's inked and the figures are done. I'm currently undecided on how much of a background it'll have even though I know what Ivan's office looks like (In my head of course, not officially).

Also, Lien is wearing a shirt that I saw online. Isn't it pretty? I'm currently undecided on how I'll do the pattern, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Right now I'm just pleased that I made it to the inking stage.

Random fact: In Vietnam it's a tradition that only the mother may touch an infant for thirty days after he/she is born. That'd be frustrating.

Onward Ho!

So the art block is still mercifully non-existent, and to keep it that way I'm just rolling with whatever kind of mood I'm in. Right now it's a sappy fan art mood, so you'll have to bear with me until this drawing is complete and it's out of my system.

More Hetalia characters, Ivan (Russia) and Lien (unofficial name of Vietnam), and also a little addition that's incubating. Yes, clothes are coming. This is just how I work.

Week 1, Progress 2: I Hate Furniture

Let me first give a congratulations to two of my closest friends who had their first child today! An adorable baby boy!

As for the artwork itself, I am SO glad to be done with that stupid probably-a-tool-chest. It was a bigger pain than the car engine and more redundant. Splatting grease and oil stains all over it was vengeful fun. I was considering starting on the character herself today, but as slow as Photoshop was running, I decided to save it for tomorrow. That's going to be the fun part!

Also, after working on this yesterday I finished a drawing that I've had sitting around since mid-December. Traditional media, and fan art: http://katwarrior.deviantart.com/art/Hetalia-Red-Scarf-191831284

By the way, don't get spoiled on these frequent updates. Once school (and for me, work) starts back up, I'll have less time for art. A week should still be enough to finish a drawing, however.
