I'M STILL ALIVE! sorry for not replying, it's just that school's been awfully crazy. you guys must be so sick of me complaining abt schl. i rant every time i post ^^"

OK MOAR DESIGNS. i promised this swiss design to lil sis ~trishthecakefairy. BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISHY!

Liechtenstein- she would probably the first character who i didn't do BG research on. i was looking at the uniforms HH designed for her. i reckon i went with what she's like in APH canon. she's extremely sweet like strawberry sorbets. as for the dress itself refer to mcqueen's spring 2005.

Switzerland- lol believe it or not this was winnie the pooh inspired. i drew it for ~trishthecakefairy who loves pooh to bits. the jumper inspired by the costume. the hooded blouse inspired by the alps and fur. idk, i just love fur. and feathers, which brings me to the next one...

Prussia- next to UK's union jack his flag would be my second favorite. there's just so much i can do with that bird thing on it. speaking of, it looks similar to the late tsar's symbol. hmm. my official design for prussia is surprisingly feminine. i reckon it needed to balance germany's more masculine one here:

Austria-ok, i admit, not much research here too. i just went with my, er, gut? VERY PIANO INSPIRED. very prissy. ok i'm just going with hima-papa's canon here. the hat thing is the piano cover. i just had to keep purple. i find it very... royal. she looks like a governess. XD

i'd probably be opening my design commissions soon. slight increase of prices this time around. i spend too much time on them "OTL.

also, i don't think i'll be uploading APH design plates for a while. i'm working on a portfolio piece. finally looking into fashion design a wee bit srsly now.

thank you so much for all the comments! ^^

BECAUSE BB I LOVE YOU SO, SO YOU DESERVE ONE OF THESE (pretty much an excuse to bombard this page)

Anyways, onto the critiques

The colors are just so relaxing to the eye and also a challenge because some people avoid using pale or warm colors because it doesn't grab much attention, unlike with strong or neon colors that always tends to captures the audience's attention unlike with this, it absolutely grabbed the one world's attention.

I think many people notice this now and as I always know you do. I just love it how you always put that 'country touch' that makes the design all more unique. You can literally have your own fashion trend that resembles only on country symbols. It's like a hidden mickey in the design but if knowledgeable enough, you'll see it wide and clear!

I'm pretty sure you deny this as always but hear me out. You have a talent in art that many do not possess, even the great ones. You have two styles of drawing, the first is the anime way wherein your works are more colorful and captures the otaku world while this one here is more of a mature model-like realism technique which grabs the eyes of the latter, and I'm sure many of us would agree to that (shoot me if I'm wrong).

Combine everything from above and that's my impact.

You are genius baby. I love you! And one day, I would die to be your model wearing all your nyotalia sketch designs
