Description
F U L L V I E W


To avoid any confusion, this is fanart of a character from the Hetalia series. XD In the story, various characters take on human personifications of actual nations, their cultures, and languages. Austria happens to be my favorite. ;D

____________________________________

It's finally done! I'm so glad I can put this image to rest. Seriously, I thought I would never finish it! You guys must be sick and tired of me posting work-in-progress iterations, and I promise, this is it! XD

I'm quite pleased with how this picture turned out. It's so far away from what the original sketch and lineart started out as--something somber and grumpy. This is so much happier, and so much more... me, I suppose. XD Sehr Romantisch~! XD

Austria is my favorite tooo!! (The character AND the actual country xD)

I really like this. It's hard to explain, but you gave him a different feel, and it's good.

I think your Austria is the most handsome and romantic one from all the other artist I've seen drawing him
Hell!! I think your Austria looks even better than the original from the series! XD

This picture deserves so much love

And that card...Elisaveta is a lucky one, I think they are the best Het pairing from the series

I really love this. <3

Actually, I was wondering what your policy is for using your art in music videos? Would it be permissible for me to use this piece?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Popo-Licious In reply to permafrostxiv [2010-01-22 02:33:56 +0000 UTC]

I've never been asked that sort of thing, but I don't see why not! Do you usually credit the artists, or do you hand out links if people ask?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

permafrostxiv In reply to Popo-Licious [2010-01-22 02:44:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, I was planning on crediting all the artists/cosplayers at the end of the AMV. I've never actually done an AMV that used art from people who weren't my RL friends.

But I just don't like it when I see people using other artists' work and slap a "all the art belongs to their respective artists". >_< I wanted to make sure I had permission before using a piece in a vid. I mean, just because someone posts their art on DA doesn't mean everyone on the internet should just use it how they want! ...Sorry for ranting like that ^^' I just know that such things upset my artist friends.

But, if you'd rather have me put the link in the AMV's description, I can do that too~ : D

Thank you so much for being respectful to us artists. GOSH. I hate it when I see fanart in AMVs with blanket crediting, or no credits at all! I'm fine with you putting them at the end of the video, so long as they're there in some form I'm a happy camper. :3

What sort of video will it be, exactly? Like, a collection or characters, or a pairing, or...? :0

permafrostxiv In reply to Popo-Licious [2010-01-22 05:44:50 +0000 UTC]

It just seems like a kick in the face. You guys put so much work into your pieces and then people come along and, frankly, steal your art for their vids. That's not right!

It's going to be an Austria/Hungary pairing video. I'm going to try to incorperate anime, official art, fan art, and cosplay into it. Hopefully, it'll turn out like I'm planning.

You seem to be the only one who noticed the card! XD You can't see the whole message, but it's supposed to say, "Elizaveta--You are everything to me!"

And I admit, I was channeling Captain von Trapp a little bit. XD

Seriously, you did great work there. x3 You're right, this is a really happy picture (just the thing I need atm, haha~), cheerful, and just... positive! I personally can imagine Roderich standing on a meadow somewhere in Salzburg~~ The colouring of the bouqet is very nice, as is the whole picture - especially the background! Once again, great work there~

Yeah, first year at this uni.... I'm fine with being here, but I'm not that fine with being away from home so far...! I mean, it's 9 hours standing between us! ;-; Blegh, it's really hard... but I hope I'll be fine later on...

Still though, thank you so much for caring! :'3

Popo-Licious In reply to Kamikaze-Kaito [2009-10-13 17:57:37 +0000 UTC]

No problem! I go to school about five hours away from home, so I don't see my family more than a couple of times a semester. And the first year is always tough. Even when you're having fun and studying and keeping yourself busy, you just can't escape homesickness, especially if you have a good relationship with your family. XD The first few days--before classes start and you're still moving in--are usually the worst because everything is new and you're just sort of thrust out on your own. But give it a week or two, and you'll adjust. You'll settle into a routine and eventually find a way to make your school into a second home.

If you ever feel bummed out, send me a note or something! I sympathize with you completely. XD

I see... :0 Yeah, I'll do just that. It has to get better dammit! XD; Indeed, I have a really good relationship with my family, so it's... it's double hard being away from them...

;-; Thank you so much, you're awesome, I will do just that.
