...for Bastille Day!

I've been hoarding WIPs for a while, and I wanted to wait until I had a whole bunch finished before I re-opened this journal - but since I missed July 4th I thought I should at least get my act together for Bastille Day.

So for now, here's a peasant farmer France and a naked France sketch and an unrelated WIP teaserHopefully

Sexiest peasant ever.

[xglass]

I'd like to second that comment. Great stuff!

[vuri]

Eee, thank you both! &hearts

I do love a good excuse to leave a man's shirt open. I-it's hot in the fields, ok? :D

I want to draw a 19th century military officer France next. I think France would be a perfect fit in the role of the rakish, bad influence officer that always appears in victorian novels to corrupt the formerly well-behaved protagonist and/or seduce his innocent sister. AND THIS SHOULD CULMINATE IN A DUEL.

[xglass]

YES. Do it. I liked how you added the "and/or seduce his innocent sister" there. lol.

I think I'm going to stalk you this morning. :D Your art is just lovely!

France's job in the modern age is modeling for art students.

Obviously.

ROMANIAAAAAAAAAAA~<3

[vuri]

Naturally! He does it for free, even. Sometimes totally uninvited. HE'S SUCH A MUSE.

Romania grew on me so fast. His little teeth and his little smirk and his little hat, what a cutie.

Loving France in the farmer outfit. I have a soft weakness for those outfits. I'd love to see England in one <3

Romania looks fab so far!

[vuri]

Ooh, there's a thought. England and old fashioned suspenders...

Thanks!

[julesie_g]

:D No problem.

I bet he'd look fab!

As I look upon your France drawing, I could almost hear him say, "Hello, ladies"

Now I share that good'ol Old Spice commercial :D

[vuri]

LOOK AT YOUR NATION. NOW BACK TO ME. UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR NATION IS NOT ME.

What does France smell like, I wonder? Sweat, wine, lavender and roses? Though I hope he'd smell like fresh bread, mmmm

Aw, now I want a baguette ;o;

[m_dono]

France smelling like a baguette.

That's so wrong and so right in so many ways :D:D:D

And now for a baguette joke! http://Addicted2Kura.deviantart.com/art/Bagetz-182411313

[vuri]

Baguettes are always right, never wrong! I want to go to France one day and eat everything that I can afford.

Aw, that comic is cute! ;3;

[daihua]

Oh dear lord, please tell me how I can stalk you properly?

The smooth lines and soft, earthy colours are much appreciated and loved.

And France as a peasant is surprisingly a pleasant thought. involving grape vines and fine dining.

[vuri]

I'm only on LJ, if that's what you mean?

Thank you! :D I love warm tones.
