Well, hello there, yuri OTP. |D

This is really lovely. I like how you've given them slightly different skintones, and the contrast between them is subtle but apparent. Belgium appears sweet and very feminine, while Hungary is a little less feminine in her pose but more sassy, and all that works perfectly for me. Their pose in general is cool, too - unique and interesting, but intimate. Belgium's hand on Hungary's chin is especially nice.

Your way of drawing hair is cool as ever: I like how you've done Belgium's curls, but my favourite is the part of Hungary's hair on the left of the image, how it seems to flow. It's gorgeous. :D Also your grasp on anatomy is really improving. The whole of Belgium's left arm/back/leg looks completely flawless to me, and that's a difficult pose to draw. The way her dress is folding is good too.

Also, I'd like to commend how admirably straightforward your description of this was in your post on the Hetalia comm. :P Just a heads-up though: your fake cut isn't quite working. The first bracket takes you here, the actual text is a real cut within the entry.

Now I'm going to scour pixiv for more of these two. (I only have one fanart of them at the moment. Sadface.)

8D Goodness, that's a huge comment! Makes me feel like a very happy bunny.

I wanted to have them with different skintones because I've skimped on the actual shading. That's my concession to revision. OTL I'm glad it shows up on your monitor, though, as I know the brightness on mine is off. Actually, I didn't think that much about the personality of each pose, I just figured it would look nice. Whatever works for you. :P

Thank you! I've been looking at a lot of Mucha-inspired art lately (third picture down: http://www.epbot.com/2011/04/art-attack-double-takes.html) so I guess that's rolled itself into the rest of my life.

I figured I'd make up for a lack of title with a fair warning, especially this is the most risky thing I've put on the internet with my name to. Thanks for the heads up, I'll go fix that now.

Ahaha, but you shouldn't say that these things were accidental! You should say that it's all very intentional and important. :P Yep, the difference in skintones is subtle but apparent on my monitor.

Woah, all that art was incredibly cool. I think I can see the influence, so that's pretty neat.

This isn't all that risqué I don't think, maybe a PG-13, but it's good to warn in general. :)

Maybe, but then I put myself under a huge amount of pressure to follow up with something just as good. :P
