I feel stupid for asking this so im using anon, but how do you draw the hijab? Whenever I try it looks like an egg www
also, Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah bless you
Don’t feel stupid for asking! Drawing is hard no matter what you’re drawing, so don’t be afraid to ask for help^^ But honestly even I feel like the best of my hijabis look a little egg-like, and that’s okay!
This tutorial is already taking so goddamn long, so I’m just gonna link my coloring and shading tutorial I did a month ago 😭😭
Gosh, I hope what I wrote made sense 😅 But thank you so much for the well wishes! Happy Ramadan (Eid Mubarak at this point WAHHH), and the same to you, may you and your loved ones have many blessings!!
Now she would have some sort of head garment as well to go with the dress, but originally I was gonna give her male clothings, then it just didn’t happen
haiii idk why im posting to here all of a sudden but like yeah i drew hetalia norway my (technically my hws philippines oc’s) pookie since middle school n i havent drawn him in a while so yass (i rarely draw europe in general)
Also i forgot to mention that i tagged this as “oc” because i lowkey consider my interpretation of norway to be ALMOST an oc 🥲 he retains a lot of canon but i feel like i just altered him so much to the point where he could exist as a separate character if i wanted it that way
Hey hetalia tag, it's been a while! I kept saying I would do it so I finally did: I opened a redbubble shop! So if you want, you can go on there and see what hetalia stuff I have to offer. It's mostly stickers and buttons but a few are available as prints too. I tried to include some characters who don't get a lot of merch (like the ever-elusive Greenland and Mongolia!) to give people with rare faves a chance to finally have something of them.
Please let me know if there's existing art of mine you'd like to see turned into stickers and buttons or whatever! I appreciate your support.
Sápmi and Norways relationship is quite complicated.
Sápmi was the one to first discover him; a little boy, barefeet in the chilly wet tundra. Without hesistation he brought him into his lávvu, a traditional sami tent, where he clothed and fed him. Sápmi is quite nostalgic about this time and will tell any unfortune soul with an ear to lend all the stories about young Norway.
"I could barely get any work done! He would sometimes wrap around my leg and simply refuse to let go, haha!"
However, eventually Scandinavia reached the northermost parts of the Norwegian territory and after a brief but violet confrontation Sápmi would be forced to give up the young boy to the much larger and stronger Scandinavia. This was when Norway joined up with Denmark and Sweden. After this, Sápmi would sometimes approach him when he was alone, making sure he was always well-fed and properly clothed, teaching him valuble lessons about nature and spiritualism. The influence of sámi shamanism together with norse mythology is one of the reasons why Norway can see and speak with spirits.
After having gained independence from Denmark in 1814, Norway finally had his own constitution. In this period of time, the young nation fixiated on creating a Norwegian identity due to technically being under Swedish control. He wanted true independence, but he knew this could only be achieved through establishing a strong Norwegian nationalism throughout the population. This is where he and Sápmi would butt heads.
Norway hoped to integrate Sápmi into modern society, leaving behind the "hedonistic" lifestyle that the Sámi people lived. In his still immature mind, why would anyone choose living in a lávvu and the physically straining task of hoarding reindeer through the unforgiving tundra over a house, education and stable income? After Sápmi outright refused, he saw no other choice than to reinstate a harsh policy to Norwegianize the Sámi people by removing their culture, language and religious practices, sometimes by violent measures. This policy would last until the 1960s.
This is a part of Norwegian history that Norway regrets immensely today, and he has taken many measures in order to assist Sápmi in rebuilding his people's culture and language... Now that he is more mature, he has realized that:
"In the land of Norway, there is space for all kinds of people and culture."
Me and the community of the spamano server have been brainrotting cooking up some Venetican content… and I was told to share father Vatican with the world so blessings upon you all 🙏
Here's my other piece for the @wildwestalia zine: an 8 page comic between Prussia and Mexico!
Mexico has had some Germanic influences over the years, especially during the "Wild West" era when an influx of German immigrants came over to the US, first during the 1840s, then again during the 1880s. To this day, you can still see some of the German influences in Mexico, especially in the ranchera music that started in Northern Mexico.
I also created this as a sort of homage to my own Germanic ancestry, specifically during the 1880s when my great-great grandparents met each other. I may have also some more German ancestry from the Prussian Deal of 1842, when some Prussian nobles tried to create Fredericksburg in Texas but fumbled it badly, but that's still debated in my family, and is a funny historical event for another time.
I hope you enjoyed the gay cowboys~ I'm definitely gonna draw them more, I love them dearly :)
