[Fanart] Strega Nona

This time I come bearing ridiculous art, because apparently all I draw is silly cross-over-ish stuff.

Title: Strega Nona
Artist: sobdasha
Characters: fem!South Italy, Spain
Pairings: None
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Description: Anybody remember Tomie dePaola's Strega Nona from their childhood? Now with 100% more Hetalia.

So the other day I vaguely recalled that there had been a book in my childhood, by some guy with a distinct and really awesome art style, that involved a magic pasta pot. And since obviously magic pasta pots + Italies = FTW potential, I went Googling, and thus I rediscovered Tomie dePaola's Strega Nona. In addition to that, I realized that Strega Nona came from Calabria, and there was also Big Anthony who didn't pay attention in the story, and thus I was egged on by a certain someone until this inevitably occurred.

My art is not nearly as charming as dePaola's, but please enjoy fem!Romano as a scowly Strega Nona, and Spain as Big Anthony Antonio.

A shaded version though I kinda suspect I just ended up making it too busy and cluttered:


Drawing those mountains of pasta was really a pain reminds me of those kid menus from Pasta House.
