It's All Been Done Before

A ridiculous blog I aim to fill with semi-educational comics about Ancient History. Inspired but not constrained by Axis Powers Hetalia. There is also some stuff about CTCSherry's personifications about Canadian Provinces and Territories in the future. That's right, in addition to providing art, I'm the voice of the Yukon and more recently Alberta on the IAMP. O:

I'm a girl that likes history and comic books, a university student that likes school, a Canadian that doesn't follow hockey, and an Albertan who doesn't drink or drive. Sooner or later I'm going to destroy the world with all the paradoxes I keep tripping over.

I'm a second year Uni student, and currently majoring in Classics with a Linguistics minor and taking Ancient Greek. I've had no formal training in art since high school so... I'm mostly self taught. I'm lazy and improve like I run; in short bursts followed by attacks of anaemia where I roll around on the ground and never want to do anything again. That is why my art sucks. XD;

Still, if you're interested... check out my deviantart: hapo57.deviantart.com

Signs

I only saw what it was to be homesick, but hadn’t known it. After the last of the gold had been dusted from the mines and scraped from the rivers and the American dreamers purged their claims for every last nugget, the last thing they wanted to do was stay put. Towns that had sprung up overnight cleared out almost as fast as the gold, the people returning home or pursuing better. Even the completely destitute seemed to find their way out after a while, whether through dumb luck or one winter too harsh. All too often I heard my home referred to as “godforsaken wasteland” and “a little better than hell on Earth”, and I started to believe that I had to get away too.

So Mororo told me to draw the Netherlands so yeah I was gonna wait until I was not sitting outside enjoying the weather with my sketchbook and my laptop so I could scan this properly but idk I need to share my stupidity
I was gonna draw like a srs bzns Canada-and-I-are-WWII-bros picture but this happened instead
it got cut off but it’s like 
Yo Rembrandt check out my sexy legs.
You laugh but this was a big deal in the 17th century (and probably other centuries I’m sure). Wearing tights and pads on your legs were a symbol of virile masculinity. 
Look at the legs on my professor’s favourite historical figure Louis XIV King of France

what a banff.
shut up I’m Albertan that’s how I spell it okay
back to drawing and enjoying this heat stroke I seem to be having

allbeendonebefore replied to your post: i SAW THIS IN ENGLISH CLASS AND I ALMOST CHOKED

I need a comic of Assyria the woodland fairy trolling through the woods and setting Babylonia’s hanging gardens on fire for not believing in his magic.

I’m going to make a brilliant ideas tag so that we can look back and remember this stuff in case we need something to draw in the future
