...and that's why the grave finds in Finland show such a strong east influence when it comes to jewellery. I just hope Finland won't end up getting cheated in the deal somehow. :D

You know your history! :D I always found it such a pity that most RusFin fanart is about the Finnish Winter War/Continuation War when there is so much more history to explore between these adorable two.

Not to mention, cyrillics were used early on in the eastern parts such as Karelia. Maybe to communicate better with the trading partners? Fin seems to be coming back for more items, so I suppose he is yet to get cheated in any deal.

I love your style! And as I said before on tumblr, I'm so glad that you were able to finish, 'cause it looks awesome.

(Also, holy crap, I can read this! Well, mostly. Ahhh yay :D )

Aah thank you so much! /)(\ I struggled so much with Fin that I ended up actually not getting enough time to fix things I wanted, + I am so new at shading. Ah well, what matters is that it is liked and appreciated, and there need to be more stuff of these two!

(Well done! :D I will post translations in Lilly's comment, if you want a full one!)

Ahhh I'm so happy you were able to finish this! You're so good at drawing these old clothes. It's not easy to find good references! :D Ah I'm so curious to know what they're saying~

I am quite glad you liked it! \o/

To be honest it is quite the mix of using references and just simply improvising, haha. orz

And translations:

Rus: You have returned this year!
Fin: Yes, it have become a bit of a routine.

SUMMARY:

Finland is a traveling tradesman during the late Iron Age with many routines on his travels. Novgorod is one of the routines on his path of travels, and there is a certain rus-jewelry merchant that he make sure to trade with. You know, that is just a little routine...
