Title: Wojtek, The Polish War Bear
Artist: Rayon1
Characters: Mochi Poland and Lithuania
Warnings: I have little clue how to draw bears. Or use image editing software. x.x






Here's the history: Wojtek was a Syrian brown bear cub adopted by soldiers of the 22nd Artillery Supply Company of the Polish II Corps. He was even enlisted as a 'soldier' of the company. Wojtek's job would be to transport crates of ammunition, and he never dropped a single crate. He proved to be so popular that the company's current logo is of Wojtek holding an artillery shell.

More information here at Wikipedia.


So the idea behind this was Poland charging off somewhere at Mach 1 on Wojtek with Liet trying to hang on for dear life and failing. I can't draw people at all, so I went with mochis.

Haha, it looks even funnier more awesome now that it's coloured.

Hm. I'm still debating on whether to write a story about that when I have the time. Should I? Shouldn't I? Oh wait, why am I asking? You'd say "HELL YES," wouldn't you? XD
