[fanarts] Doodle dumps!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Aaah, so, my job consists of me teaching a bunch of half-braindead teenagers, and then sitting at my desk for a long, LONG period of time, of which I mostly spend doodling.

So, here's a bit of a doodle dump! Lots of doodles!

Title: Doodle dump
Author/Artist: youkofujima
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Will be listed before each cut
Rating: G to R-15
Warnings: EXTREMELY IMAGE HEAVY
Summary: Wow, was I ...wow.

America (PG-13/weapon)




I drew this while thinking of the song "Red Faction" by MELL. Good song, seems to suit an over-zealous psycho America.


America (PG-13/skin, suggestive pose)




I...I just wanted to... XD; cowboy hats are hard to draw, yo.


Turkey (G)


There's just something that seems to be...off...about his shoulders. Arggh.


UK (PG/obscene hand gesture)


I drew this after having a really bad start to a Monday. Why is this an obscene hand gesture? According to a British friend (whose mother was, surprisingly, French), it's because during the wars between England and France, the English were using bows while the French used crossbows. Still, the English had an upper hand (is what he said), and when the French captured Englishmen, they would cut off the archers' index and middle fingers so that they cannot draw back the bowstring anymore.

Thus, when the two sides faced each other off before battle, the English archers would hold up their two fingers like this to signify: "We still have our two fingers, and we're gonna KILL YOU."


China (G)


He doesn't walk, he saunters. Or glides.

I wanted to try and give Nii Nii a more Asian-looking face, and made his eyes more almond-shaped, and with heavier lids. He looks like he has huge hips, though. But then again, I always imagine the older nations to be slightly more androgynous.


Germany (PG)


SPRING TIME FOR HITLER AND GERMANYYYYYYY~~

I have no excuse. mumumugen showed me this video and I immediately thought "OH DEAR GOD GERMANY." After this, I went off and bought a reference book for uniforms.


Taiwan and Hong Kong (PG-13/some disturbing imagery)



In Mandarin, male-female fraternal twins are called "Dragon-Phoenix Born (Fetuses)." The dragon is the boy, the phoenix the girl. Legend is that the twins were lovers who could not be together in their past life and were thus born together in a womb in this life to be together.



Bound Feet
These two pics are two sets to a whole, though in the case of Taiwan, it is slightly scarier because women before 1920s China (and Chinese colonies) were considered ugly unless they had bound feet (the most beautiful being three inches in length). And Hong Kong...well, that's just my fetish.


I just wanted to draw them in modern clothing. HK looks stoned, though.


Taiwan and Hong Kong, on their way home from Tokyo Disney Sea, on the commuter train.


"How d'you like me now?!"

Bonus! Hong Kong!

Girl: Youko...
Me: Yes?
Girl: ...is he...not wearing pants...?
Me: PANTS? WHAT ARE THOSE? OPTIONAL THINGS?? CAN YOU EAT THEM??


Mediterranean Family (G)


Turkey: What IS that kid's major malfunction?!
Egypt: ...you?
Greece: Death to Turkey...


Going to the market. Slow down, Egypt!


The family. I just wanted to show how GAR Turkey is.


Last, but not least...Russia...Russia...Russia. (PG)


Russia, in front of St. Basil's Cathedral, which sadly a lot of people think is The Kremlin. I'm very bad with backgrounds... If you have looked up to this point, is reading this, and can guess the reference to the dog in his arm, POINTS TO YOU.


Russia with a hamster. Cuz ...Russia dwarf hamsters. I is lame.


And now he bids you goodbye.

Thanks for looking! Whew.

I should really ink and colour some of these...just not sure which one...

Wah! They're all pretty. D:

Also, Red Fraction ! I thought America looked like Rebi there... at least on the manic side. >w<b

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you!^^/

Aaack, I keep calling it "Red Faction," for some reason. OAO America=Rebi? Scarrryyyyy. Though it's better than being like Roberta O_O

[cookie-faerie.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, gorgeous drawings~.

...I cannot tell you how hard I loled at Germany. And I loved China (and your gliding sound effects xD)

fkgfjgkfj I might color these just for fun in my spare time wait what spare time but I doubt I'll post em anywhere, unless you'd like to see them of course.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much~~

I had a fun time drawing Germany, I couldn't help laughing at that video. China was an interesting challenge, since I hardly draw him, and the first time I did he ended up looking like Edward Elric OAO;;

Oh, please do! I'd love to see them!

[hellabrows.livejournal.com]

MAN you are so fucking awesome. I mean WOAH.

I really like all of 'em ('specially the US ones and the 'hand gesture' thing, hurhur), but the 'Producers' thing killed me. Dead. I shouldn't be laughing this hard at 5:00 AM.

Matter of fact, I shouldn't be commenting art at 5:00 either, but dammit I guess I am aren't I?

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the bold lettering OAO

Hahaha, being UK, I almost imagined you'd be a little put off by that UK pic. XD Glad you liked the Germany one. He seems to be popular.

O_O Please go to bed, that is way too late (or early).

[gomimushi.livejournal.com]

:'O OH MY GOD. They're all *amazing*. :'DDD

I LOVE THE ONE OF UK. BECAUSE OH GOD OH GOD IT'S SO IN CHARACTER. :'D FLIP 'EM ALL OFF, UK. \o\ /o/ \o/ OTL ... His face is amazing. :'DDD s..sometimes people don't realize that it's a rude gesture. Dx'' there was a newspaper in Singapore that published a picture of someone unintentionally doing that ON THE COVER while I was there, and I nearly died laughing Dx.

Chibi Greece wishing death to Turkey is ADORABLE (GAR TURKEY IS GAR), and woa, Egypt is so elegant. Hong Kong and Taiwan are both gorgeous, i love that set. *_* America looks amazing as a cowboy... and let me giggle for an obscenely long time at Germany.

That video melted my brain though.

... is your icon John Barrowman? D: I can't unsee it

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this long comment! ♥

I was making that face as I was drawing the picture...was so incredibly angry and upset I couldn't even make the right words. DDD:< _{That's so sad and hilarious at the same time XD;;;;; oh god, that hand gesture...}

XDD I love the Mediterranean family! They're just so adorable with Mommy!Egypt and Daddy!Turkey who is hated on by the son. Egypt and China's elegance are a bit similar, since both of them are so old. America=cowboy. I couldn't resist!

Germany XDDD aaah, sorry about that video.

_{yes, that is John Barrowman as the lead Nazi tenor.^_-}

[fanfaluche.livejournal.com]

I don't even know where to start, they're all awesome. I love how you manage to differentiate each country, expecially china ;_; He's so.. femminine XD But in a good way *_*
And the russia sketch with the Moscow bg..*_*

and oh my god, Turkey is so GAR.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you! With Hetalia, I am hoping to differentiate a bit more between ethnicity, though it's a bit hard to do that while still trying to stick to anime style. I need more practice! China's air of ...ancientness is...yeah. I guess effeminate is the best way to describe it?

It's really, really hard to draw that cathedral. O_O;;

GAR. I don't even quite know what that means. Is it the same as "MANLY?"

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're brilliant. These are splendid--the poses and the anatomy, the facial expressions (I particularly love how you draw Turkey!) ... take me on, and make me your disciple. ;__;

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much^^/ I am practicing hard with facial expressions recently...here is one I did recently, just for fun. (http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk119/youkofujima/Hetalia/21.jpg)

I don't think I am good enough to take on students just yet O_O I'm sorry >o<;;;;

[manicrabbit.livejournal.com]

fuwah~

your art is so pretty!
I agree, all of them are very nice~

I wonder...what would all the countries look like as Gar? (YEA, EVEN HUNGARY 8D )

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much^^/

Oh dear, I think I can attempt that, I have a good idea of how to make Hungary look GAR...maybe.

[mono-vn.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR DRAWING. \ ( = A = )/
The anatomy, the perspective, the expressions... THEY ARE ALL SO PERFECT MY GOD.
I envy your skills. :3
Would you mind if I color your pics?

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you\^^/

XD; well, they're not perfect yet, but I am still trying very hard to get them to be better.

Oh, I don't mind at all! Please do colour them and show me? I'm actually very BAD at colouring.

[tonomurajiro.livejournal.com]

Yay for ebil!US, sexy!UK, singing!Germany, and pretty!China!!!!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

the others are great too but those I mentioned are my fave.

Great job! d(^.^)b and thank you for sharing!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I love drawing evil characters, sexy characters, singing characters, and...well, I think you get the point.

Thank you very much for liking them^^/

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much^^

[box-of-doom.livejournal.com]

GERMANY!!! just... Germany...... XDDDDDDD

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Singing. And probably dancing.

[o0omoonyo0o.livejournal.com]

Amazing!!!*o*

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thanks^^

[sorakusanagi.livejournal.com]

Love the sadistic look on US' face xDDD

Your England and Germany made me drool while the first Russia pic made me squee xD. This made my day 8D

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I imagined him to be saying "Get down on your knees" while drawing that. It works!

XD Thanks for liking them ^^/ I really want to draw more Germany!

[baba-o-reily.livejournal.com]

You combined two of my favorite things, John Barrowman, and Hetalia! Hoozah!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Oh yay, that's always a plus!^^/

[bakayaromaniac.livejournal.com]

Nice, all of them!

Was a delight to look through :3

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you, glad you liked them and looked through them^^/

[prince-ankou.livejournal.com]

;A; ahhhh i loved that turkey-egypt-greece fanart so baad. they're my new lovely hetalia family * 3*

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you^^ I love the Mediterranean family, they're so adorable and full of ...strange functional dysfunction!

[gabriela-gosden.livejournal.com]

Well, your drawings are amazing.
(and they are all the more interesting with context)

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you^^/

I like to babble about my drawings, lol XD;

[piratelicker.livejournal.com]

:D

Love the pissed off UK and the Taiwan-HK bound imagery the most :DDDDDD

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you^^

The pissed off UK...that was my face as I was drawing it.

And I just am fascinated by the idea of foot-binding and ..."China Dolls."

[mumumugen.livejournal.com]

Deutschland is happy and gay....

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

XD We're marching to a faster pace!

[jali-jali.livejournal.com]

Wow! These pics are so good! @_@
I can't take my eyes of psycho!Alfred and sexy!China nice hip there, China! ;Dthough I want to buy some uniform references too! It's quite rare in my place -_-;;
Btw strong!Taiwan is an interesting concept, she looks so beautiful there ;D

Man, I like the way you pencil sketch these, mine usually look scratchy and untidy T_T have to practice more on that.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you^^/

Psycho!Alfred is saying "Get down on your knees!" China does have birthing hips, which is something I really want to try and get rid of on my men when I draw them TTATT Japan has quite a bit of uniform reference books--or just reference books in general. It's awesome.

I'm a bit biased, so I love the idea of a strong, self-sufficient Taiwan who is trying hard to be friends with other nations but still holding her own.^^;;;

Thanks, I'm better with analog than digital, though TT__TT

[zephyr-design.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU AND YOUR ART.

Seriously, there are no words to express my love. First all your drawings are more than beautiful, second not only you have a pretty art, your concepts and poses are amazing, third you draw characters I really like~? I'm so biased.

I can't decide my favorites, but I definitely have much love for psycho!America, Russia, and Mediterranean family - I lol hard at "What's this kid's malfunction?" "You?" - gosh, you gotta love them.

Also, John Barrowman = Germany y/y? I'M DED. DED.

Bt I've heard an diferent explanation for that obscene hand gesture UK is making... It has to do with cows and sticking your fingers in innapropriate cow places.
I like your explanation better XP

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the long comment! TTATT

I really want to do lots and lots of different poses for all the characters to match their personalities. It's a lot of fun^^

Psycho!America was definitely fun to draw, even my students liked him^////^ Russia...I just love Russia *biased* And the Mediterranean family is like a family with a father who makes money, a kid who is not close to the dad but is to the mother, and the mother who protects/indulges the child XD;;;

Y/Y, INORITE??

O__O REALLY? What is that one?

[callalady.livejournal.com]

Very nice! You have a beautiful art style.
All of these were great. My favorites are definitely the two pictures of US, the picture of UK and the family picture of Turkey with his mask on, Egypt and Greece.

Oh and if you haven't, you should definitely see the whole movie of The Produces. Mel Brooks is one of the funniest writer/director/sometimes actor.

[holy-shpootnik.livejournal.com]

And also one of the best at making screeching alley cat noises. Most all of them in his movies are actually done by him off set during the acting. XD

[holy-shpootnik.livejournal.com]

If I were to list all the things that I love about these batch of drawings, my hands would fall off from all the typing.
Needless to say, I'm really really really really really really liking that picture of Turkey holding Egypt and Greece. SO CUTE!!! <3333 And also pretty much anything else with those three.

And gun-toting Alfred is hoooot~!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Aww, but I'm an attention whore and would love for you to do that... XD;;;;

Thank you so so much for liking them and looking at them^^/ I love to draw the Mediterranean nations as a family--Daddy in center.

Lots of guns XDDD I love guns!

[fightfair.livejournal.com]

WAAAAH HONG KONG. ♥

:< NO Taiwan don't do it the bound feet nooooooo.

Also, I've never seen Turkey before this and you definitely got his GARRRRRR across. It's endearing.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

HONG KONG IS LOVE LOVE LOVE.

FOOT BINDING HURTS. IT HURTS. TTATT

Turkey has shown up on the trading cards and the blog--and some of the manga strips. But he has no profile yet.^^/ Thank you XD

[starshards.livejournal.com]

Fantastic art, dear. Such a treat!

And I can confirm the hand gesture thing.
It's because our greatest weapon was our longbow men who had huge range and power. We'd take any old peasant if they were strong enough to draw the bow, and as such we slaughtered vast amounts of Frenchmen. Hence why the French detested them.
And it's not just bias.

It's trufax: The Battle of Agincourt was an English victory against a larger French army in the Hundred Years' War. The battle occurred on Friday 25 October 1415, in northern France. Henry V's victory started a new period in the war, in which he came very close to capturing the throne of France for himself and his heirs.

The battle is notable for the use of the English longbow, which Henry used in very large numbers, with longbowmen forming the vast majority of his army.

It makes me so happy to see these things drawn. *___*

So THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

Aaaah I see.^^/ I had originally wondered if the British man I met was being biased or playing me for a fool (but I still thought that concept was really cool), but I am glad to hear it confirmed by more people in this post.

You're very welcome and thank YOU for liking it^^/
