Description
I gave up on this... I just didn't like the faces and the anatomy ... refining the colouring felt like it would be a waste of time. But I'm uploading it anyway because I haven't submitted anything in such a long time D: The window was a fun challenge, if a little tedious.Inspired by some statues I saw in a beautiful church in Poznan. Interpret how you wish. Critique welcome as always, but I won't be editing this picture anymore
Thankyou to Sox for the map idea.

d'awww I wish you would continue this ;-; did you forget to color the window sill? xD
I think the poses and anatomy look fine, but a more interesting color scheme would look better, it's kinda monotonous. I love Italy(????)'s robes the most. :>

Oh dear.. I did >_> I'm such a lazy person o_o
Argh I had such trouble with that, I was trying to make it sombre but it came out boring and flat! Any advice? Dx
Thankyou 
sorry about such a late reply, this comment stayed at the top of my messages but I kept putting it off for some reason :/

oh god I just reread my original comment. Ignore my remark on the color scheme I didn't know that was what you were aiming for LOOOOL

I think your color scheme's fine, it does look dull and muted (in a good way.. like, the atmosphere you intended...LOL) it doesn't look boring at all.
if you continue this, I would advise to exercise just the right amount of contrast: don't use too many light colors, or it'll end up looking dramatic. Just use enough lighting so that the forms are visible and distinguishable. Don't add any new shades, but even if you do, make sure they're not starkly different and are in complement with your already chosen colors.
I hope that makes sense!!! <33333
fff I do that all the time. It's okay LOL

Ah yes that makes sense, even if I do use similar colours, if the lightness varies hugely it will have high contrast. Thanks so much, your crits are always so useful!

I love the outstretched wing and the window design is very pretty ;u;
I could really see it in a church, especially if it was stained glass!

Thankyou x3 Looking back at it.. I was so lazy o_o but I recommend drawing geometrical shapes and formations like in the windows for abstract backgrounds, it's surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it

Ah, this is lovely! I love way you drew the window and the dark colours in the picture, plus the shading is amazing, it really fits X3 There are one or two problems with anatomy, but I love Germany/HRE and Italy, they're both adorable

Aw thankyou
Are you going to submit any more drawings anytime soon?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem XD I bet, you've drawn it really well
Well...Prussia's hand doesn't go out, making it look a bit like he just has fingers connected to his arm and I think you'd be able to see his thumb as well...but I'm not entirely sure, hands aren't my strong point really :'D
Yeah, I am! I have a McFishy chibi that I drew a while ago that I'm gonna clean up a bit and post, and a present for ~HeilyBlue that I need to do

I thought about little Germany

Oh, you're from Poland! I can't remember the name now but it was very near to the building with the goats, and there is a little organ concert every day at 12:15 (we were told about it at the tourist office) The statue was at the end of the church, a little to the left of the centre- you can see it when seated on the wooden pews. A bishop holding a staff (instead of a map), a boy in a hooded tunic(?) and a little cherub sitting by them

This one building with goats is the Town Hall. And this church... Maybe this one? [link] I don't really remember, actually I haven't been to Poznań for ages
