Here’s my piece for Draw a Circle, That’s Hetalia! @hetalia-20-anniversary-zine . I love fruk so so so much!! I’m so happy this zine pushed me to make a proper big illustration of them for a change!! Thank you to Lyre for organising & shout out to all the artists & writers - it’s lovely to have a big collection of works for the big two zero.

Plus bonus pictures of my time last week in Dover, channel crossing, Calais & Dunkirk (call that fruk tourism 🤪(i would’ve gone anyway my life doesn’t revolve around hetalia but… y’know))

(writing: love you, tough guy Ti voglio bene, bambino '1923' NY, NY "Jazz Club" Blind-Pig) (Blind-Pig is a slang-slang term for a speakeasy. The reason her cigarette stick is so short is because it's not hers it's Romano's. Men's were typically shorter and less flashy.) Been obsessed with Chicago lately. Probably 'cause it reminds me of them. It started out drawing them in the 'we both reached for the gun' dance number, that was the reference I used anyway. That whole song is just so them, rather my idea of them. In my head I can imagine Amelia getting into hot water in the 1920's and Romano posing as her lawyer, con man style. To help her lie and get out of it. Then it sort of changed as I was going. The original idea became more of a loose concept rather than a tribute. And I thought it kind of looked more like a snapshot. Thought it would be cute if it looked more like a photo one of them had hanging up on their wall from when they lived together.

I've been drawing this whole time. I'm really trying to get better, I've thrown out more stuff than I've finished. Abandoned ideas all together before I even really started. Finished some things, not very good but good practice. This is the one I've liked the most in awhile. I'm trying to develop a style of my own. Still can't draw a backgrounds for the life of me. Been trying to accept that less is more, which is hard for me because I have a hard time 'finishing' things as in I'll keep adding and adding until I hate it instead of leaving it when it looks finished. Still working on different head positions ngl, it's so hard for me for some reason. I just cannot seem to figure it out, but maybe I will some day. If not then it's whateves.

ANYWAYS! I know I vanished into thin air but I'm not dead, at least I don't think. Just life and stuff, ya know? Been planning my UK trip now that it's getting closer. My BF and I have been getting kinda serious, and I've hardly been home at all if I'm going to be honest with you. I'm usually at work or at his house anymore it feels like. Which is a relatively big deal for me because home is my favorite place to be. And my last relationship never wanted to do anything ever and it's just a huge change having someone who actually wants to hang all the time. I'll try and be less elusive, but no promises.
