[Fanart] Assorted RoChu artstuffs

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

And before I knew it, I had accumulated enough RoChu arts for an art dump! (Oh man, some of these pictures are old, haha)

Title: Just some RoChu artstuffs...
Author/Artist: fourteen_kites
Characters/Pairings: Russia/China, with a guest appearance by the rest of the Allies
Rating: G
Warnings: Image heavy?
Summary: Borscht is good and so is mathematics, the postal service is very untrustworthy, Russia changes his flag and red is just a pretty colour.

Preview:



--





I drew this one a while ago, when I first realised that the 罗宋汤 (luo song soup) I've been eating all my life was actually China's version of Russia's борщ (borscht). I really should have noticed it sooner, seeing as 'luo song' is just a derivation of the English word 'Russian'. OTL



I bet these two love mathematics. O: Meanwhile, the other Allies cannot quite believe the are watching central limit theorum being turned into something romantic.



Because the postal service in Russia (and China) is sort of... well... not great. (This is a scribble I did for a comment.)










^ I drew those for a competition the dA branch of rochu_squad was holding. (Theme: 'Returning home after the Cold War.')





...aaand this is just something completely silly I put together. XD;



Sorry for the image heaviness! Hope some people enjoyed~ m(_ _)m

Aaaah you are talented. They look so sweet together...and look at the tattered flag.

I will have to look more into that soup.

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Uwah, thank you! >_< ♥ I do like it when these two are all sweet~

:D

I just went though your LJ and I /adore/ your art, oh my gosh ;u; C-Can I hug you? -HUGS- The scenarios in this one are adorable and breathtaking, I love it <3

[chibimeli.livejournal.com]

Yays for Rochu!!! ^^

the last photo is so cute XD

omg, 罗宋汤 is really the chinese version of borscht? i've seen it before in restaurants but i didn't know what it was !

[mangaka-chan.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, my family also have those Russian dolls! XDD These fanart are great, and while I knew 罗宋汤 (which is one of my favorite dishes, btw) is the Chinese version of borscht, I didn't know 罗宋 meant "Russian". Ah, Hetalia; the educational fandom. &hearts

p.s. That last picture is too adorable for words. &hearts&hearts

[dabsieland.livejournal.com]

Aw, all of this is so cute. I love it! Huh, Russia and China with mathematics, why haven't thought of that before? Nice xD

[m-dono.livejournal.com]

ADJOASUGRFBGO Calligraphy set *A*

I have one of those too but kinda almost did destroy it because I tried using it without prior knowledge on how to do so @_@

[themadhattertf.livejournal.com]

I am now a firm shipper of Russia/China, aru. :3

They make cuteness so fluffeh and VERY OMG!SQUEY quite smexy. :|

/goes to the locker where she kept all the things she used to hunt for kittehs to hunt for Wang Yao

[whatisnarva.livejournal.com]

I love love love the math one. It's an interesting take on them that I never thought about and somehow makes them adorably nerdy XD

[xblkdragonx.livejournal.com]

I saw the last picture as a banner for the RoChu_Squad and I DIED because of how adorable it was!! I'm so glad I can save it to my collection of wonderful art now >_<)

[atenias.livejournal.com]

Finding someone who equals you at math, how rivalry romantic :D

[lady-black-cat.livejournal.com]

I love the last picture with chibified China and Russia. All kinds of adorable! XD

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Wah, thank you so much! ♥ I'm really glad you like them~ >w<

-hugs!- ♥

[batty-angel.livejournal.com]

Aw these are wonderful <3

[shinaka.livejournal.com]

Awwww, your art style is AMAZING! 8DD And wow, I didn't know that at all about Luo Song soup. XDD I'll ask my mom to make some one day! ♥ I also thought the little fanart of China debating whether to mail his message out was really cute! :D Actually, EVERYTHING here is so, so pretty - how do you do that??? *_*

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Yay! \o/ Thank you! XD

And yeah, apparently so! Try it next time, maybe. ;D

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Serious? XD Hurrah! And yes, the educational fandom that this is. :D Glad to be a perpetrator of knowledge-spreading!

Thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Wah, thank you~ :D Hahaha, in my head they suit mathematics! But then again I am a dork. XD

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Hnnng, IKR? ♥

Oh dear. ^^;; I don't really know how to use it either, honestly, I just use the brush like a watercolour one and I think that's wronggg. XD;;;

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! ´ヮ` ♥ Hahaha~

/omg run Yao, run! :O

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Uwah, I'm glad you do! ♥ Thank you~ Haha, it's a somewhat silly connection I made (it makes sense in my head!) but I like it. XD

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Uwah, I'm really glad you like it! I pretty much made it for that banner~ :D ♥

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, that's right~ XD ♥

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you do! :D Thank you~

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Eee, thank you~ C: ♥

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

:D! For serious? That's awesome! *dances* Thank you~! >w< ♥

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Wah, thank you! >w< -bluuuush- I'm really glad you like it~! Haha, and yeah, I didn't know that stuff about luo song soup until I got into Hetalia and started hitting up wikipedia. XD Yay, new knowledge!

Also, your icon is so pretty! ♥

[themadhattertf.livejournal.com]

/yes, Yao, run from the cuteness of the kittehs for they would lead you to a trap! Hope Russia would save you.

[fluffcloud.livejournal.com]

Whoa, I love them all, the art and the final jumble of stuff at the end.You are lucky to own so much nice stuff. Envious :x I'm tempted to post a pic of my own Russo-Chinese jumble but my (very old and well-loved) dolls are in storage. Should I???

Are you from Shanghai? The soup got popular because a lot of Russians came to Shanghai.

http://news.xinhuanet.com/food/2005-09/16/content_3498325.htm

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥ Hahaha, compiling the jumble of stuff was fun. The dolls and books are really the only Russian things I have, though. ^^; I'd love to see your dolls! Only if it's not too much trouble though. XD

I am from Shanghai, technically, because both my parents are. ^^ My mum makes that soup a fair bit, yeah~ ♥

[fluffcloud.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I am too busy now but I'll see if I find time sometime next week. I love your hairsticks XD

Also, that cloth, it looks just like my blanket, it's a towel I guess (..); It just has that Chinese towel look.

[fluffcloud.livejournal.com]

Forgot to say that I hate the color red because I think it's tacky but you made it look absolutely brilliant in the clouds pic.

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Okay~! Just whenever is convenient for you, yeah, I don't want to trouble you. ♥ And thanks! :D

Hahaha, yep, you're precisely right, that's a Chinese towel - well spotted! I had to put it there because my carpet is just unattractive. X'D

And thank you! I'm glad you like the red colour in that picture, especially when you usually don't. :'D ♥

[silver-sandals.livejournal.com]

Wow, these are all so amazing (I do particularly like the maths one!) but oh, the one with the flag. Oh, that took my breath away.

[fluffcloud.livejournal.com]

Haha, sadly, I'm still busy this week. Maybe next week or the week after!

Where do you buy your towels from? My mother buys them in bulk and yeah, they're made in China and our blankets too :p They look exactly like that. I have baby pics of myself lying on embroidered bed sheets too.

More guesses about your jumble, the blue and white porcelain container in the box contains the red cinnabar paste for calligraphy seals when you open it up.

Also your Chinese knots, lanterns, red packets are left over from Chinese New Year. (my house has a drawer full of red packets from banks and stuff and I think some of those are probably years old. I think you got one of those from an insurance company?)Is the ornament with the golden fish saying 年年有鱼 or something punnish like that XD

When I was a kid, we used to make tacky lanterns from red packets in class for New Year. Did you ever do that? :'D

Final guess, is your surname 周？Like Jay Chou.

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Ahh, thank you! ♥ ♥ I'm so glad you like them. :'D

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

That's okay! Please take your time~ ♥

Haha, we've had those towels for so long I don't remember where exactly they came from anymore. :'D Definitely China though - all our bedsheets too. (I guess more recently we just get them from places like Carrefour. XD) Also quilts - though we still use the ones which you have to sew up the covers yourself every winter.

And correct again! That's red paste in the porcelain container. ♥ And red packets that I accumulated over the years, indeed~ (Some of them were free, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were from an insurance company, yeah :P). Plus the fish ornament does say 年年有鱼! Though 鱼 is replaced by the golden fish to make it even more punny. XD

Hahaha, I never did that, actually! Making lanterns from red packets, I mean - well, I grew up in a Western country, so that's probably why. X'D

...And how did you guess my surname. I haven't put my name any-- oh wait! It's in that photo, isn't it, from the calligraphy seal? But yeah, it's 周, a very common one. XD (May I ask what yours is...? You don't have to, I was just curious since you're guessing so much correctly about me. :'D)

[fluffcloud.livejournal.com]

Guess what, I found my father's personal seal when I was rummaging around in his drawer. I didn't even know he had one!

So cute! Now, I want one of my own too except that I want a good one if I have one carved and that would cost a good sum.

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! Nice! XD

♥ That would be awesome, if you had one~ Mine was pretty cheap, actually (from memory) but then again it probably isn't very good quality. XD

[veryminty.livejournal.com]

Your art style is adorable. :D I love the colors you used in the second-to-last picture--they look so clean and bright.

[fourteen-kites.livejournal.com]

Uwah, thank you! ♥ I'm so glad you like it, I really wanted to get the colours right in that one. :D Hurrah!
