belarus in your own style?? ⬜🟥⬜👀

There you go anon, and sorry - it was supposed to be a NORMAL drawing but I got carried away a bit with the idea. I‘ll draw her normally at some point🙏🏼

”What‘s the matter, Belarus? You look a bit …broken“

This was the inspo btw (+ something else, her clothes is inspired by a particular portrait of a particular Belarussian, if you reckognised which one, consider me impressed and well done on your Belarussian history)

I like u, have a Ukraine sketch👉🏼

I feel like this song is very much her-coded, but here is also a version without my shitty handwriting on the sketch

[edelweissjpg]

Popular Christmas song "Carol of the Bells" is based on a Ukrainian song called "Shchedryk" and was originally arranged by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych. In 1921 undercover soviet state agent asked to stay the night at composer's' family home. In the morning he killed Mykola Leontovych and robbed his family.

"Shchedryk" was created while Mykola Leontovych was staying in Pokrovsk, city the russians are desperately trying to capture and are turning into ruins right now:

I refuse to elaborate, this made sense in my head🎀

Polak screenshot redraw, but ridiculously exaggerated bc I need to practise drawing emotions😔🔨

Is Irina/Iryna okay?

Yeah, Iryna rather, and shortened/pet versions like Irunya/Ira/Ryna if you want that; tbh it also is quite a cool option and a popular name in Ukraine, and like…even Kateryna itself if fine, just not in that context and not the russified verision because whyyy

[edelweissjpg]

(upd: this has now been kindly updated by one of the admins 🥹, but the info I‘m referring to used to be there since like 2009, so I‘ll leave this post just for info)

oh, c’mon, naming a ukrainian character after one of the most anti-ukrainian figures in history?

I know no official name was given to her, but this shit just pissed me off, why would they list this fact on her wiki page as relevant to Ukraine? Ekaterina II abolished the ukrainian (semi) autonomy Cossack Hetmanate of 1764, ordered brutal destruction of Zaporiz'ka Sich in 1775 (a cossack state-military centre), EXPANDED. SERFDOM. INTO LEFT BANK AND SLOBOZHANSCHYNA DO I EVEN HAVE TO CONTINUE?? Russification?? Crimean Khanate Colonisation?? And that just being of the top of me head?? Hello?

I know it’s not that deep and Hetalia is meant to be irony BUT HOLY SHIT.

And also using russified version of her name Ekaterina as a reference to Katiusha rocket systems, ironically, the descendant of which, (GRAD BM-21) is bombing Ukrainian cities right now FUCK OFF. At least use Kateryna, the Ukrainian version.

From Himaruya’s suggested versions I prefer Maria; as Mariia and pet names Marichka (like ukrainian military mascot hehe), Marusya (a reference to a common Ukranian folklore character, Marusya Boguslavka (a rlly smart woman who helped cossaks out of captivity), Marusya Churai (semi-legendary folk songwriter of 17th century), Marusya from a folk song who poisoned a guy cuz he cheated, Marusya Sokolovska (a female rebel leader during 1917-21 war of independance) AND MANY MORE. I LOVE MY UKRAINIAN MARICHKAS.

SO ON THIS PAGE AT LEAST, SHE’S CALLED MARIIA (MARICHKA/MARUSYA/MARI) CHERNENKO. FIGHT ME.

ABSOLUTELY. FCKING. TRUE.

Out of all the European countries in Hetalia, I feel like Ukraine was done dirty. I haven't been able to read the comics much, so I'm going off of the anime here. But wow does the anime do her so dirty. Not just because they used her to fulfill the whole "big-boobed anime girl trope", but because Ukraine is actually a very strong country, and I feel like they portray her as weak and pathetic. It just bothers me.

Now, I don't mind a female character with a bigger chest. By all means, draw and animate characters with different body types. I'm all for it. But the way they ogle her chest and add sound effects is just too much for me. I get that it's anime, but still.

Granted, we could go on and on about other characters not being portrayed well, but I will never get over how they disrespect Miss Ukraine. The girl deserves so much better.

Yeh sure he can’t cook but at least he can try

Messed about with the lighting and hair render for this one. And jokes about England’s food are immortal ok?

This has been living in my head for a while now, and I’m finally ready to announce it:

«Ukraine.1917»

– a historical Hetalia brainrot project that focuses on events around Ukraine in 1917-1921, aka the war of independance, or the ukrainian revolution – or that one time when she almost got away with it.

(Here are a few English-speaking vids that can explain what’s going on: https://youtu.be/9Gwuu7TXPwI?si=fmAfCIj-VSbxeoiQ and https://youtu.be/YVuuwQSjzvs?si=SY4JukRo9OW1uoBq )

basically – I am planning a series of mini-comics, drawings, etc. about the events of this period through Hetalia characters – bc hey, why not. We see so little of Ukraine in manga and reinventing her brings me genuine joy. 😔✋🏼.

It might turn out into a chronologically consistent comics, in which case it will be published here and in my tg channel. Or ot may not, lol idk I‘m just having fun

These are just some initial concept-sketches of mainly Ukraine 1917 to 1919, but also Poland and Germany as u can see

Please feel free to ask me anything on this!

[edelweissjpg]

ngl this sounds like such a cool idea, i’m interested🫡

Link to interest check found here!

The interest check will run from November 22 until December 6

The World On A Plate aims to spotlight and celebrate food from all around the globe, and what better fandom for this project than Hetalia?

The goal is a collaborative recipe book. Artists will be asked to pick a character and a recipe from that country. Then, they will draw that character cooking/eating/with that food. In the zine layout, on one page will be the drawing and on the other there will be the recipe.

All this in addition to spread illustrations and writing!

For more information feel free to check out our Carrd!

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please reblog and share this around!

«Prussia hatched from a cannon-ball»

– Napoleon Bonaparte, at some point.

I mean this explains why Gilbert has got a pet bird doesn’t it?

so random i know but silly sketching while i can ok?😔

[edelweissjpg]

Rewatching hetalia did this to me. So here we are.

Hetalia! Ukraine

This might be tricky to understand unless you grew up in Ukraine; but as we know, she is often depicted in hetalia holding a giant pitchfork. So around when the anime was made, there was a (marginal) politician in Ukraine, in charge of the radical party, Oleh Lyashko (Олег Ляшко), known for his striking appearance with a pitchfork during campaigns; (the dude behind her)

SO AS A UKIE I HAD TO DRAW THIS RAWRJKDSWCHRDSKJD

(The stuff she is saying comes from an insult phrase Lyashko often said as well about his rivals, «скотиняки» [skotyniáky], translating to something like «stupid animals»)

[edelweissjpg]

omadays I remembered I ever made a tumblr acc. Anyway, I’m back but unfortunately for yall idk if I’ll post naruto stuff, just as unfortunately I rewatched hetalia world stars yesterday so now Im drawing silly twinks based on stereotypes of countries please god forgive me😔✋🏼

Sasori of the Red Sand as Edward Scissorhands?

Sasori Scissorhands? Edward Akasuna?

Whatever. An unfinished puppet for all the Tim Burton enjoyers over there.

(At this point I realized that I should have done smth for Deidara’s birthday but exuse me? i forgot)

[edelweissjpg]

just absolutely random sketches+pose studies+screenshot studies I did over the week and felt the need to post, okay?

no idea what’s Hidan doing there tbh

[edelweissjpg]

Sasori: Did it hurt when you fell?

Deidara: From where? Heaven? Or in love?

Sasori: Brat, as much as I’d love to save your ego, you just faceplanted down a flight of stairs.

Just a little comics about Sasori being worried and Deidara being Deidara. I kinda messed the order up, but there are numbers in the corners so here we go
