Because He's the Hero

I will be selling this print, 5x7 inches, at FanimeCon 2012!

LOOK WHAT HETALIA HAS DONE TO ME. OTL

DId you guys notice? Probably not, BUT MY SCANNER HAS BEEN FIXED. BETTER SCAN QUALITY AT LAST. HALLELUJAH!!! <3

I'm taking about a 2 week art hiatus. I honestly need a break after (sorta) finishing that APES project. I'm going to take this time to work on my fanfic! So rejoice, fanfic readers!

So I drew a picture of America. Oh yes. The anatomy looks a little icky at some places...but I wasn't too sure how to fix it. I also noticed them after I inked...of course...

I used 12 different colors on the sunset. All manners of oranges, pinks, greens, yellows, and blues. I had a hell of a time figuring out how to color it, but I think it came out alright. All my reference pictures actually show the sun, which wouldn't work, since America was facing the sun. So I wasn't too sure how the clouds would look. This was what I came up with. Doesn't look too bad. I just enjoyed getting ot use a lot of colors.

You probably noticed I drew and colored everything pretty differently this time. I'm trying to find a coloring style and drawing style that works for me. That's my goal this summer! So...expect some coloring/style inconsistencies.

Also...expect lots of Hetalia art, in addition to finishing my Pokemon lineup. OTL (But epic art! Hopefully...)
