Summary: A dump of a bunch of sketches and doodles I have done. I have some finished-ish art, but I will post those another day.

We lost all power at work for most of a day, yet inexplicably could not leave, so I drew this. Spain's comment was inspired by older coworkers talking about doing things pre-internet (which we then pointed the typwriters had been electric too :P)

America and Italy chasing pigeons was based on jokes of contacting people via carrier pigeon.
on and the guy in the first panel is just some guy.

This should be self explanatory as to what I did that inspired this. lol Also I watch too much Walking Dead

We lost power again (it actually is not that common  ut has happened a lot recently because of constructiom), but could leave. Except I realized someone else hadn't contacted a costumer who was waiting on critical papers, so I got to stay and do his job. This is what I wished I could have said ^^

this is based on oretending to be a calm rational person at work rather than an overly emotional giant dork (no, actually this was just a random doodle during lunch lol)

A friend was thinking about making an ask-blog for Alfred as a National Park Ranger. I sketched this to show my support for the idea.

a very (very) quick RusAme doodle to cheer someone up.

Uncle Scotland, No!
This is an ongoing joke with a Scotland Cosplayer and myself with my baby. I have an entire comic plotted out based on her antics with my son, and no time to draw (again if I need to pull Scotland let me know. I don't know where he stands on the no OCs rule).

These are so cute! Shoo America, don't eat people during meetings.
England has a surprisingly nice smile by the way, and the quick RusAme doodle's adorable. This might be a slightly biased comment because coughs over RusAme

And lastly, Scotland's certainly a good brother isn't he? Teaching his nephew to attack his dad. //brick'd
Though I can't blame him either, both Scotland and England have historically been awful to one another. Resentment builds resentment, I suppose.

LOL meeting that run into lunch are the very worse!
And thank you on England's smile. I am reading an epic fic ( 47 good sized chapters and counting) with a lot of sweet England moments, so that was probably inspired by that.

I need to draw RusAme more. I think that is the closet I have to a ship so far, and I really want to find some good ones of Russia supporting America during the Civil War.
But at the moment, I don't have any strong feelings. I came into this with Russia/China but it was hard to find fics that matched how I saw the couple so I've sorta moved a bit away from that. Because of my own cosplay I tend to ship usuk the least (cosplaying with your literal son does that I think), but even with that I have a few doujin because PRETTY art and also I am good with separating fiction from reality :P

LOL I need a whole series of just "UNCLE SCOTLAND NO" gags. But yeah the history between the two is pretty ugly at times. though i am very fond of UK brothers fanfics at the moment.

If it's a RusAme fic you're looking for, might I suggest The Chosen End (http://the-chosen-end.livejournal.com/1263.html)? It's a great anthology of their relationship through time, though sadly unfinished. There's some steamy stuff here and there, but it's one of the best RusAme fanfics I've seen from the fandom. I can definitely get the feeling of finding it hard to find material that relates to how one personally sees a ship, though. Fanart tends to be more forgiving, but fanfics? Boy, oh boy.

I really like your coloring style in these pictures. It's stylized but very clean somehow, if that makes sense. ^_^

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Oh wow thank you! The coloring is just sorta "welp here are my office supplies. What can I do with a two highlighters, ball point pens, and sharpies!"

Actually though, I studied a pulp/fantasy/fanzine artist from the 70's named George Barr whose style was to use ball point pen as texture over watercolors and I always think of that when I use ball point :D

These are all really cute! I rather enjoy that sassy Spain lol I like how you draw England's hair a lot.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I honestly don't draw enough of Spain as I am still getting to know him, but the line was either gonna go to him or England and I wanted to draw someone I hadn't drawn before!
