I started this a few weeks ago, but i don’t know why it took me so long… Anyway this is a gift for @sssonyancat ‘s fic on ao3!!! I hope you like it! 😭

Hey so I’ve got a question are you SleepyMiya from Ao3? If not sorry to bother 😅

Hey! Sorry for the late reply! I'm guessing your question leans more toward the Hetalia works on that account, but yes, I am the same SleepyMiya from ao3! Technically, the account is under my name, but it’s actually me and my twin sister, @kaarlax , writing together. So credit definitely goes to her too, especially for “A Cure to Insomnia”. That one was her idea, and she’s done so much for it, and still is!

We weren’t sure if we wanted to make it known on Tumblr that the account is ours, since we usually just post drawings here. But since you asked, I figured I might as well respond. Thanks for the question! 💗

Prumano 🌸💗

Uhhhh so idk...

My artstyle is not artstyling right now 😭 Like, I’ve drawn five different drawings with five different settings, and they all look off. Aaah, art block is real, beware.

But I really wanted to draw, so I went back to my roots… the chibis. I love chibis. <3

Also, can you tell I’ve never drawn a comic before in my life? Lol.

Pls... draw prumano and gerita on a double date beibg all cute and stuff...

Sorry this took SO LONG to finish… I was on a trip! I tried to make up for it by drawing half of it on the plane, so if some parts look a little funky (especially the background)... that's why!!! 😭😭 I hope this counts as a double date, with them being all cute and stuff!!!

Prumano ❤️

I started drawing them and ended up putting them in some kind of high school outfits, so I guess you could see this as a high school au if you want… Honestly, I’m not even sure what I was going for 😭

[sleepymiyaa]

The Italy brothers on vacay because it’s summer!!!!

Also Prussia and Germany are with them because Gerita and Prumano!!!

YESSS 🩷🩷

Robul nation rise 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Please ignore the background, I’m not great at drawing those. As for why they’re in a field... honestly, I’m not entirely sure. I just thought it might be fitting since both of their countries have a lot of plains, so here they are, having a field day (pun intended)! Also, Bulgaria is meant to be sitting down, hopefully that comes across in the drawing. Anyway, I love them a lot <3 (Petition for them to be canon!)

(13+ maybe?) Prussia x NyoRomano mermaid AU or something… I don’t know, don’t bite my head off. I drew this after watching some animations on YouTube with this exact pairing (I think the channel was Jackce). And hey, a girl’s gonna draw what she wants to draw, right? (Anyway, I love Prumano.)

I saw a drawing with another Hetalia ship that I used as a reference for this one, same pose and all, but I can’t remember where it was from or who made it. All I remember is that I found it on Pinterest and that one of the characters was England. 💔💔

Oh, and this is the first rendered piece I’ve posted here! I usually just do cel shading, but I’ve been giving rendering a try lately, and it’s starting to grow on me. Still, cel shading is my go-to!

support HUMAN artists, not AI‼️

AI generated images are NOT art. art is CREATED, not GENERATED.

this is not just about taking jobs from artists (which is already a huge deal), it’s also about devaluing art itself, turning it into mass-produced, empty and soulless content. it’s heartbreaking to see AI stealing from real artists: from Studio Ghibli to smaller creators like us.

personally, we started our art journey by reinterpreting what we love: music, TV series, anime and transforming it into our vision inspired by the 90’s anime that we grew up with. when we create our illustrations, we try to capture the emotion and love we feel for the subject, aiming to tell a story with each drawing. ever since AI was created, we have had many people asking if our art is AI generated. honestly, it’s heartbreaking every single time. for us, art is a deeply human experience that we’ve been dedicating ourselves to for seven years. creating from nothing takes dedication, skill, and an emotional investment that, in our opinion, AI simply can’t capture.

you’ve probably seen your feed flooded with AI generated images in a “Studio Ghibli style”. trends like these reinforce the idea that art can be easily replicated and devalued. the future of artists is more uncertain than ever. we don’t know if in a few years we’ll still be able to make a living from this, since many companies are adopting the mindset of “why should i pay someone for their well-earned work when a machine can do it for free in an instant?” that mindset is the real problem: the way society is starting to perceive art.

art is essential to human life. many people realized this during the pandemic: what would we do without music, movies, books, that bring us comfort? art is more than just the final product. it’s about the process, struggles, and personal growth that comes with it. when you create, you grow, learn, and challenge yourself. AI erases that, replacing it with instant and shallow replication. real art brings people together, evoking emotions and reminding us of what it means to be human.

relying on AI to make art isn’t innovation, it’s avoiding the challenge of creating something meaningful. AI tools like these are being pushed as "the future," but what does that say about us? replacing human artistry with shallow, mass-produced content takes away humanity from art, do we really want to be part of a world where art is just another disposable product? what value do we place on creativity?

if you’ve made it this far, it means you care about these issues. let’s raise our voices together and speak up. don’t consume AI generated images. value and respect creativity. SUPPORT REAL HUMAN ARTISTS.
