[scanlation, of sorts] COLOUR CHART

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Ever looked at certain characters who don't even have a profile and wondered "What the heck are their colour schemes?"

Ever stared at several different fanarts of the same character and go "Wait...so are they blond?  Dirty blond?  STRAWBERRY BLOND??"

Have no fear!  A while ago, Hidekaz uploaded on his blog a colour chart with the nations' hair and eye colours for us to reference, and here is the scanlated version of the chart.

A few notes: Hidekaz describes Prussia's eyes as "a reddish purple," hence the colour swatch. 

Canada's hair is layered--it's dark on the bottom and has really light roots.

Also, he uses Photoshop, and we're not sure what kind of brush setting he uses, so I personally found this chart more useful for the eye colours as opposed to the hair colours, which some just threw me in for a loop as to how to use it.  Probably brush #2 on a multiply setting?  Beats me...

Colour was spelled the American way there cuz my spellcheck kept picking up on it.

Hope this helps others!

Thanks for scanlating and uploading!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. It was an easy scanlation, so I'm glad it can help people!

[atlikarinca.livejournal.com]

None the less, thanks alot! This should prove to be helpful~

BLONDS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD *would make a joke, but doesn't want to offend blonds lol*

You're welcome^^/

WAT. THERE IS A BELGIUM. ....WAT. (Holland..!?!?)

Turkey has pretty eyes, then. :D And Norway must look so sweet.

Thankssss!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Yup, Belgium showed up in the book version of Hetalia, and Holland showed up briefly in the "Fight for the New Continent" strip as an aside chibi.

Turkey's eyes look like they'd be pretty. Olive coloured... X333

You're welcome!

Thank you very much for this!!
This will be very helpful for me(I am sometimes not sure about hair and eye colour).

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! Hope it'll help!

Blondes = a Japanese person's typical image of foreginers?

This might help if I ever stop being lazy and draw something XD;

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I think so. I remember in Final Fantasy Tactics there was an overwhelming amount of blonds, too.

XD

[lemiru.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, this is nifty, thank you.~♥ AND JUST IN TIME! I want to make a hetalia-girls-need-love-too fanart, and was wondering about the canonicity of Ukraine and Belgium. =D
(However, I've never seen a holland, so... boy or girl? O_o )

[herbalriver.livejournal.com]

Ukraine and Belgium are canon, and Holland is Belgium's brother. We only get it in a faceless sketch so far, though D: (I think)

[lemiru.livejournal.com]

Why thank youuuuu ~ ♥

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Here's Holland, behind Finland. (http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/finto.gif)

Ukraine and Belgium are canon, you actually see Belgium in the book, and Ukraine looks a bit like...a female Russia with a pitchfork. (http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/h/i/m/himaruya/20080601153829.jpg)

[lemiru.livejournal.com]

HGRMFLM!
WHY SO CUTE!? WHYYYYYY!?

[em0-tic0n.livejournal.com]

Holland looks so small there...
Damn I live in a cute country!

[demikkusuu.livejournal.com]

lol, even your computer is secretly for the Americans. Totally not liberal-biased.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

LOL, well, its OS is set on American English by default, so...

[qichi.livejournal.com]

Oh god, I read it backwards.. XD "FRANCE DOES NOT HAVE PURPLE HAIR WHAT"

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

OH GOD HE CANNOT AFFORD TO GET ANYMORE FAAAAABULOUS!

[know.livejournal.com]

hey, thanks! |D
Now the only thing I need are the countries genders, lol!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

And O_o are you serious? It's actually rather easy...

With the exception of
-Seychelles
-Belgium
-Belarus
-Taiwan
-Vietnam (not listed in chart)
-Hungary
-Ukraine
-Liechtenstein

everyone is male.

[know.livejournal.com]

Yes I am. xD I'm not very good at telling genders when it comes to fanart. |D

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Ahh, sorry. XD; My Trapdar is sharp and trained after years of...

Well XD; either way, there's the list there; we don't have a lot of girls. There was a design for a girl Korea that fell through.

[know.livejournal.com]

LOL. My Trapdar doesn't get a lot of work since I don't really watch anime/read manga. (even though I draw in that style, lolwut. o_O)

awww, really? She must've been cute. ; ;

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

*Batman theme* Na na na na na Trap-DARRR.

Okay. Uh.

Here's the pic of girl!Korea and Finland (http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/finkan.jpg), though Hidekaz says in the caption "by the way, Korea is a boy." I'm not sure if that means "By the way, despite the design being a girl, in the comic, it's a boy" or "by the way, even though he's dressed like a girl, Korea there is a boy in girls' clothes."

[toothbrushfoxes.livejournal.com]

maybe north (or was it south) korea would be a girl?
girls' korean clothes are very nice and oriental..=w=;

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

It just says Korea, but I am guessing he means South Korea because North Korea in Japanese would be written as something else completely.

South Korea: 韓国
North Korea: 北朝鮮

In the special edition of the book he had mentioned that she would have traveled to the US in hopes of becoming a star...that was the original plan.

[tamensei.livejournal.com]

awesome! :D thanks.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

No problem^^/

[catnamedeaster.livejournal.com]

Jeez, with this you'd think my family would be blonder...

Anyway, thanks a lot! I'm always extra particular about eye colour when I draw fanart so this will be very helpful. ♥

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

W-what? XD

You're welcome! I'm very particular about eye-colour myself. It's almost like some sort of paranoid bug in me.^^;;

[kohikki.livejournal.com]

This is mega helpful for drawing fanart.
Thanks for this!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

You're welcome^^ Hope it helps!

[prussiasgilbert.livejournal.com]

That solves a lot of my problems. like woah.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

XD Awesome, glad it could be of use!

[ihasachezburger.livejournal.com]

Finally, no more trying to pick out what's the right shade of green or tan and Canada's hair color!

Hetalia is so full of green and blue...

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

For me, it was "WHAT BLUE ARE AMERICA'S EYES AND HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM CANADA'S. DAMN TWINS."

And blonds O_O lots and lots...

[mono-vn.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the chart! I will use it later for fanarts~~ 8DDD
BTW, why do people know about the existence of Vietnam? I've been searching myself but find nothing but fanarts. +____+

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, either. I've looked around the blog and the site, but while I have found Thai, I have yet to see Vietnam drawn by Hidekaz, but I trust that she's around.

[t3nsa1.livejournal.com]

The amount of love I have for you for posting these scanlations is endless. This has made History so much more fun!!! Of course now I giggle every time the Professor mentions France^.^

[dies-dandles.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I was wondering, as I've seen no colour art of Finland. This helps enourmously. <3

[kakorii.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much - this is very helpful stuff :D

[cyberpunk14.livejournal.com]

thank you~

There's no iceland on the list? .. D:
