Description LOOKIE HERE.
IT'S MY FIRST HETALIA FANART. |DD;;

Oh god, I love this so much. It was just line-art with some fail pencil-crayon colouring on it until yesterday when Nii swept it up and saved it from the depths of my sketchbook. THANK YOU NII!!
Nii = ~answerphone Go look at her art, it's amazing. /shameless promotion~

Nii always has the greatest patience with me, even when I fail to understand how text-boxes work when she's trying to teach me how to use photoshop. :U

Anyway. I drew the lineart for Antonio and Lovino by hand and I started to colour it, but I messed up. In despair, I hid it away. Until I remembered that Nii has photoshop and we could use it to fix it up! OH FRABJOUS DAY! CALLOO, CALLAY. My lineart that I'd spent the better part of a month on, didn't have to go to waste!!

The only weird part of this is that Spamano isn't even my favourite pairing. The only reason this exists at all is because I wanted to draw two guys tangoing. x'DD

I'll be selling prints of this at Ai-kon~

Song(s) that inspired this:
Sway - Michael Bublé
Tango Maureen - RENT
El Tango de Roxanne - Moulin Rouge
Objection (Tango) - Shakira

Tango= Argentina
Flamenco= Spain


ITs frustrating when peopel mix it up. ITs a great art I love the backborund and the colors u used or the clothing but the dance...

Frankly, I think you could have been more polite while bringing your concerns to my attention, but I digress:

Yes, I am aware of which dance originates from which country. I did not 'mix them up' as you are suggesting. I'm assuming you are also aware that Tango has enjoyed significant popularity in Europe and around the world, not just in Argentina.
Yes, I consciously made a decision to take some creative liberties with my own fanart, is that a crime now?

Thank you for your compliments, but personally I am not of the opinion that this is one of my best works. I have improved very much since I posted this last year.

OHYES. THE DRAMA WAS SOINTENSEYOUBETTERBELIEVEIT. xDDD I think it turned out pretty good, all things considered. There are some things I'd like to change/improve on etc, but it's not something I'm going to stress forever over. c:

I am sooo proud of it. Because even though compared to some of the art on this site it's fail, it's still the best I've ever managed to accomplish~
