[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

Hey APH comm! After lurking for a while, i finally stopped to offer a piece of fanart.
I hope i do this right. O:
Title: Warm Smile
Author/artist: Lowah
Rating: G
Character(s) or pairing(s): Russia <3
Warnings: none
Summary: Russia looks very OOC with his sunflowers...

 

Crayola colored pencils FTW!! 8D



Go here for the deviantart entry.

I thought i'd share this with you guys since i really like the results.
I love Russia so very much. But he looks really OOC here. XD When my friends asked me why he was blushing, i told them that he was drunk... vodkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

Anyway, i'm going to go back to lurking. I'm working on a Hetalia chibi set so expect to see that from me next. :3 Also, i don't really use my livejournal that much anymore so don't expect any entries from me over there. :/

EDIT: Oh, yeah. If there is anyone that would like to make this into icons, plz do! I want to use some but i suck when it comes to making icons. |D

and Happy Birthday Finland~! ^_^ <3

omg, I could stare at the folds in that jacket forever-- the coloring is so lovely. ♥ Your sunflowers are beautiful as well, and it's so nice to see a less terrifying more gentle looking Ivan.

Mmm, such nice traditional coloring. 83 Russia looks spiffy here, although maybe it's his eyes that make him look OOC? His expression looks like something you'd see more on France. ;D Still, I like it.

OH GOD, THIS IS SO AMAZING 8DD

The fact that you colored this manually adds the awesomeness of this drawing because the colors are so depth and light. The details on both Ivan's jacket (The folds and stuff, OMG) and the sunflowers are so nice to look at x3 As for the OOC...i think it is not the blush because doesn't most Hetalia characters have at least little blushes on them? This applies for Russia too if i remembered. It might have been the eyes like someone said here, Ivan has a more rounded eye 8D;

But good job anyway, the drawing is beautiful!

Hey, Russia's crazy, it's pretty damn hard to say what's out of character for him. I love your coloring <3

[kyandii-holic.livejournal.com]

oya, oya, what has vodka done? Russia is smiling like France.

[shahni.livejournal.com]

Oh Ivan, he's so beautiful in this pic. I actually find this amusingly IN character given his personality and the vodka and you've done a great job with the pencils! It's always nice to see more traditional work. Your work on the sunflowers is top-knotch too ♥ Great job! :D

Yay for traditional coloring! I wish he'd smile like that. You could say that's just another of his creepy smiles if it's ooc maybe? lol

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you very much! ^_^ I'd love to see more gentle Ivan, if that's even possible. xD Though his insane side is amusing to look at.

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It might be his eyes. :/ lol I didn't really expect that and i never noticed. XDDDDD

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! <3

Traditional coloring is really hard to get right. ;3; Nah, i didn't think it was the blush either. Oh and thing about his eyes: they are meant to be half closed. xD

Thank you again!

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

hahaha Totally true! XD Thanks i'm glad you like it.

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

LOL LOVELY SPARKLES~ <3

oh, does his smile look like France's? |D oops

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

Thank you. lol Vodka and Ivan together equals anything. xD

[senti-db.livejournal.com]

THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!

ilu now. : D

[kuroiinu-chan.livejournal.com]

I'd just love to an Ivan that inflicts less torture on my favorite characters, haha. :'D

[puella-nerdii.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, lovely -- the coloring's gorgeous, I love how you've done the folds on his clothes. And I don't think it's terribly OOC or anything -- he, well, can be really oddly gentle and genial amidst his crazy motherfucker-ness, and it makes sense that he's happy in a field of sunflowers. I mean, that's canon. :D

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

lol What a lovely way to put it. XDD
I think its really odd that you'd find one of the world's largest sunflower distributors in a country that's well known to be very cold. Oh god i just imagined him prancing through a field of sunflowers. D:

[piratelicker.livejournal.com]

ASDHASDHAU color pencils~! I can never work with traditional media at all TT__TT good job.

[onmyoji-youkai.livejournal.com]

;u; I love it! It's amazing!

[acdragon.livejournal.com]

Omaigad this is so lovely, I absolutely love the coloring. *w* The sunflowers in the back really look to have atmospheric perspective due to the lack of lines, its such a nice effect. I don't think its OOC either, he is kind of a yandere character type anyways. Besides, happy Russia is adorable. >w< And I think everyone in Hetalia has a permanent blush on their faces. xDDD

[drunensis.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's...that's good.

[synzunea.livejournal.com]

Oh GOD. This is absolutely beautiful. You hold so much skill with colored pencils. D:

Plus your sunflowers actually look like sunflowers unlike mine. Your lineart's really clean too D:

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

I agree, happy Russia is very adorable. X33
Aww the yandere character type seems kinda sad. D:

[lo-wah.livejournal.com]

Pfft oh god i love your icon. XDDD

Thanks for the comments! Aw i'm pretty sure your sunflowers look fine. :)

[feuillu.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, your coloring is gorgeous! I really like it. *___*

Oh, and here's an icon for you, since you asked. ^^; I didn't do much other than crop it, though:
