[fanart] Здравствуйте

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Here's a fanart that I did of Russia from a bunch of doodles that I did--I decided to colour it.

Never again.  Ever.  Will I do this to myself.

And by this, I don't mean never draw shorts again.

Title: Здравствуйте
Author/Artist: youkofujima
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Russia (young)
Rating: PG (13?)
Warnings: Implied violence (he's holding a weapon), Russia is very young.
Summary: Здравствуйте can be said at anytime.  Also included: WIP screenshot aka my screams of woe.



NEVER AGAIN.  I did this whole thing (colouring wise) on ONE LAYER, except for the background (which I did on whim; the wings, I mean).  I looked at Kidchan's video of how she colours in OpenCanvas and decided "Hey, I can try that out, too!"

CUE SEVERAL HOURS OF HELL. 



Seriously, one of the hardest things to do was to try and separate the colours of each section from each other and hoping to GOD they won't blend together.

Original pencil.  No, I don't have a Hansel costume/shorts fetish.  Why are you looking at me like that?
Also, Здравствуйте is "Hello" in Russian.

I really like it black and white! :D

Oh, Russia. He looks like a nightmare shota - the kind that would bid you hello... and then, immediately, "good night", before hitting you on the head with that freaking tube. Of course, all done with a smile.

Nice piece, this! Good job with the coloring~!

Oh wow *A* That's really, really good! Both the coloured version and the sketch.

I love how innocently creepy you made him. Perfectly Russia xD

I don't think any of us would be cruel enough to demand you stop drawing shorts. <3

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I...what?

[torterracafe.livejournal.com]

Those little shorts XD

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thanks XD I'll admit, the coloured version wasn't as good as I want it to be, or could have made it if I stuck to my old colouring methods. (But I try XD)

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

XD; W-what about them?

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Oh god, he seriously does look like a nightmare shota. Be a perfectly creepy assassin... *thinks of Black Lagoon*

Thank you^^

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you ^^ I personally think the colouring could have turned out better, but then again, it was my first time attempting this...?

<3 Innocent yet creepy Russia to bits.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

XDDD Oh good, cuz I have a ton more in the wings.

[torterracafe.livejournal.com]

u know u liek dem :P

[ekmisao.livejournal.com]

Like the original drawing. ^^ Cute kid.

[ekmisao.livejournal.com]

Wait, exactly how many languages do you know?! ^^

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thanks ^^ Russia is cute.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Uhh...I can say that I don't know Russian, and that I use online translators for those, but I do know...

-English (fluent)
-Mandarin Chinese (fluent)
-Japanese (upper intermediate level)
-Taiwanese (conversational)
-French (probably enough to get by...)

So if I want to say fluent languages, two.

[ekmisao.livejournal.com]

(blinks) Here's to Asians. ^^

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

X3 Yay Asia.

[piccu.livejournal.com]

OMG that's just too adorable ;__; I love that Russia gave off those psycho vibes already when he was a kid <3

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Eh? To say the truth, I really want to take up at least two or three more languages.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you X333

Russia was definitely already slightly unhinged when he was a little boy. XD

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

muahahahah there's a LOT more where that came from <3333

[summersoltice.livejournal.com]

oh they always get them so young... >.< well, Ivan was such a cute lad. Although I would like to believe that as a kid, he was always smiling and happy, not crazy like this.

but none the less, the colours are gorgeous...

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I think so, too. I was just reading Black Lagoon at the time and saw those crazy twins, and on of them looked a lot like what I imagined Russia to look like as a child.

Thanks X3

I looked at this and the first thing I thought was, "Sweet christ, how did Genghis Khan take this kid down?! ...Oh duh, self, he had arrows." I'm not sure what this says about me...
