Description Happy October!

I don't know why, but October is probably my favorite month of the year - it's when the weather starts cooling down, the leaves start changing colors and falling, when summer finally fades into autumn/fall, and the start of the holiday season when everyone is together with family and friends (nowadays, I starting to see it's becoming less so because people are starting to care more about themselves instead of sharing with others - then again, it could be a nasty aftereffect from the Recession).

Anyway, since it's October, a lot of people my age here in America are very excited about this month because of Oktoberfest , and for many of them, it'll be their first legal one (yes... I'm 21, and I'm ancient! XD ).
Personally, I'm not a big fan of big crazy social drinking parties and I don't drink alcohol even though I legally can.
Americans make Oktoberfest an excuse to binge drink and act like idiots when it first started as a German celebration of the marriage between Prince Ludwig I and Princess Therese 199 years ago.

It wouldn't surprise me this if this one reason why Doitsu got his humanized name 'Ludwig.'
(Prussia, on the other hand... how did he got his name 'Gilbert' when 'Frederick' and 'William' are the two commonly used names by Prussian emperors? ).


So... ja... now about Ludwig/Germany and Gilbert/Prussia here... the pic is pretty much self-explanatory (you can probably tell by my tone that I don't like Yaoi very much either) :

Prussia, the older brother, likes to drink a lot of beer and get drunk, which leads him to do provoking things without realizing it - plus chicks love him (literally). XD

Germany, the younger brother, on the other hand, isn't as reckless and gets embarrassed by the stupid things his older brother does - like kissing him in this case. XD

(Don't worry Prussia, your little brother will forgive you... maybe... if it wasn't for the vomit on your lips. XD )


If you hadn't noticed, I used my tablet to color this.
Obviously you can see it's not as clean and precise as if I was using my touch-pad mouse, but it gives it a unique effect.
I also used the 'Cutout' filter on the line work, and attached a colored layer to make it Prussian Blue.


Well, that's all for now - just let me know what you think.

oh and about Germany's name have you considered that it's a reeeeeaaaalllllyyyyyy common name? there are Ludwigs in everything from children's books to nude trails to famous musicians, to kings so yeah (actually children's books to nude trails isn't that big of a jump XD)

It's not Germany's name I'm questioning - read my Comment again, and you'll see I said that Prince (later King) Ludwig is possibly one reason why Germany was given that name.
I know Ludwig is a popular name with many famous intellectual and royal Germans (Beethoven is one of my favorite Classical musicians), so any one of them could be the reason why the creator picked this name
(almost every main character's humanized first and last names came from specific famous people/places from their respected countries; otherwise, the named picked is either a common regional name or just flat out random XD ).

It's Prussia's name Gilbert that makes me scratch my head in confusion.
Maybe that name belonged to some random politician or somebody like one that had a big influence - then again, he may be one of those randomly named characters since Prussia no longer exists as a country. XD

ahhh ok

about Prussia... I don't know, but once I saw an old Germanic version of Gilbert, it was along the lines of Gilbird (XD) or maybe he chose it because it doesn't really sound German (he does stuff like that XD)

I'm sure that I mentioned about this pic being a bit Yaoi in Painting class before I had posted up...

Then again, it's not my fault that you decided to take a closer look at this pic. XD

Ooh, this looks so neat, I love it, especially how you draw their hair! <33 (Poor Germany, though. XD Normally I would be jealous, but if there's vomit on Prussia's lips, then... well, Doitsu's a real trooper to have to put up with that )

Thanks.
(I just thought the drool/vomit on Prussia's lips would make this pic even more funnier, especially since Doitsu's a very uptight person XD )

I thought I'd make a nice couple pic of a guy and girl after seeing a random pic in one of my drawing books.
But then the girl started to look more like a guy as I drew this, and with Oktoberfest coming up, I decided why not make it a pic of APH's German brothers. XD

And actually, this almost became a pic of Italy and Doitsu - in Italy, kissing someone who's the same sex on the lips as a greeting is considered quite normal
(when I used to live in Naples, my Italian friend would always kiss me even though we're both girls - of course, I would always tense up and 'wipe off' her kiss, only to be kissed again when it's time to leave XD ).
