[ fanart ] russia & latvia - sunflowers and pets

[shahni.livejournal.com]

Title: Sunflowers & Pets
Artist: Shahnida@Deviantart
Pairing: Russia x Latvia
Rating: PG (kissing)
Warnings: ...Russia? :D
Summary: Two pics I did of Ivan and Raivis. I kind of shamelessly ship them, though in more ways than the pics may suggest, but suffice it to say, I love the characters and their interactions. Then again I love the Baltics so. :3
Iconing?: Y, linkbacks to this entry/credit would be nice and no graffiti-ing the art. :3

PREVIEW;

---

This was the first ever image I did of them, a very quick one while practicing with Painter SAI. A very awesome painter software I totally recommend.



This one I did today and it's also up on my DA~ as one of my commenters put it, Ivan finally found a way to stop Raivis from shaking that didn't involve killing him. ;D It's rare to find pictures of them where they aren't dubcon, so I wanted to make a consensual one for once! I blame degrees for being an adorable Russia to my Latvia in RP for this. :3

The sunflower stock image in the back is from http://sxc.hu!

And th-th-that's all for now, folks!

Awww very cute! I love the way you draw Latvia. So adorable. :3

lol Russia is too tall! XDDD

[shahni.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I was checking their heights and when Russia stands upright, Raivis's head comes up to mid-chest for him. XD Man that pose took me forever to figure out. Thank you so much for your comment :D

[cnyll.livejournal.com]

I love that Russia is a warning. XD ♥

And yeah, those are WONDERFUL. Guh. I love everything about Ivan's eyes, face, hair, etc in that first pic. And the scarf. And I want to hug Latvia. ;-;

Are you secretly some kind of art!god? DX Because it might be something you should put under "Warnings" along with Russia. Like, "Warnings: ...Russia? :D Also I am shahni so I'm an art!god and this might make you flail, spaz, and generally keyboard-mash on-sight so LOOK OUT." :|

[shahni.livejournal.com]

Russia is a biiiig warning for he raeps small states up the ass. ;D Ahahaha. I love Ivan so hard, man. Then again, I love Russian history so he was just a surefire winner for my affections. And Latvia is a squish. ;;

...

_{I don't see many Russia/Latvia shippers in this comm. This makes me so happy ; A ;}

Btw your drawings are beautiful~! I like how you draw Latvia's expression on the first picture xD

[shahni.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad to be part of the Russia/Latvia love! Hehe, with Latvia being the last state to get independence, I imagine he had some alone time with Russia ;D
