Description
*ORIGINAL FILE IS ENORMOUS!!! * You have been warned*
This is by far one of the most ambitious projects I've ever worked on. But I don't regret it one bit!
This all started with this simple question: "What would happen if England's horrible cooking skills got in the way of his potion making?". And from that sprung an entire story
Basically England was sick and tired of everyone making fun of his ability to see fairies, so he decided to invite them over and feed them a potion that would make them see them as well. But thanks to his "cooking curse" he messed up big time and the whole thing exploded in his face
When he regained consciousness he realized he had been turned into a rabbit-thing (and was 1/3 of his original size). He immediately went to look in his magic books for a counter-spell, but to his horror not only the explosion destroyed his ingredients but he only had until dawn before the spell became permanent
At first he tried his best to leave the house to gather new ingredients without the others noticing his current state, but after seeing a ghost Canada passing through walls in search for him he realized the explosion had affected everyone else too
And so from that point the story is about how they all had to work together to gather the ingredients in time, while facing Russia's demonic shadow, who was going berserk
Before you ask, I don't have anything else planned for this project
I could try to fully develop the rest of the story and maybe turn it into a doujin, but it would consume too much of my time and energy. Unless there's a significant interest from other people (and help), I don't intend to take it any further than this
Other option would be starting an RP game surrounding this story, but again it's not something I intend doing on my own
[EDIT]: Due to the overwhelming support I've wrote a journal related to turning this story into a doujin. If you want to volunteer please do read -> [link]

Eu sei que és tuga por isso vou falar pt
Eu não entendi bem o que pretendias fazer com a história, mas de facto achei uma belíssima ... posso chamar de resumo ou sinopse? Gostei mesmo da ideia. Se precisares de algum tipo de ajuda, conta comigo Gostei mesmo dessa tua ideia e da cover também! Eu tenho um grande interesse nesta história e como disseste que nem sempre tens tempo ofereço-me aqui para te ajudar
Interessei-me mesmo!

Desculpa ter demorado a responder
A ideia inicialmente era fazer um protótipo duma capa, apenas como exercício pessoal. Eu adicionei a história como forma de contextualização mas as pessoas gostaram tanto que insistiram que eu fizesse uma história completa. Mas como não tenho tempo para me dedicar completamente nisso comecei a perguntar às pessoas se queriam ajudar. Isso foi como começou
De momento parei porque preciso de alinhavar a minha vida pessoal e tenho de rever todo o material. Como isto está parado à tanto tempo provávelmente vou ter de voltar a perguntar a toda a gente se querem voltar a ajudar ou não. Mas qualquer ajuda é sempre bem vinda

Requested review:
What's to notice right at first glance is that, as an art piece, it's surely well done. At least for the characters, because I gotta be honest: I disaprove the usage of pre-made brushes. Yeah, I noticed the grass is made out of those, and it's noticeable by small things like how the grass overlays the book, even though it should be high enough not to be the least bit covered by the grass. But heck, it's not so blalant as some works I've seen around, so I'll let it slide. I like the detail on their hair, as well as how the "fairy"'s light influences all around him, including the grass. It also has a pretty unique style for what it is, which adds extra points to it.
Now, while as an art piece it succeeds, I must point out that as a design, there are a few things I believe that could've been done better. For example, the title. The font is ok, but the color kinda distracts from the rest, and it doesn't seem to fit. I'd suggest that you used a color scheme that's bright enough to stand out from the black background, but at the same time similar to the one used to the overall picture.
Along with that, I dunno about where it's placed. Seems kinda off, I dunno. Maybe it would've looked more organized if you had more sky, and placed the title up there, a lil' bigger. Giving it a space of it's own, so it wouldn't get too blended with the artwork. If only that demon-like guy wasn't up there, putting the title on the top wouldn't be so much of a pain in the ass.
Well, I hope that turned out to be of any use for any of your future works. Seeya around! ^^

*desculpa ter demorado tanto tempo a responder mas um comentário deste calibre merece uma resposta bem pensada*
I don't blame you for thinking that about the grass. I don't like it either, but I just couldn't deal with the stress of doing the blades of grass by hand. Also if this was ever printed the size and darker colors would hide it
Yeah, I always have problems when it comes to text. It seems it's just not my thing DX
I'll try to keep in mind your suggestions about it
It was definitely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to write such a lengthy review ^^

Well... I honestly don't think one should rely on resizing to fix stuff for us. Errors are still detectable. It just takes a lil' longer.

Usually I agree, but in this particular case I don't really care. Besides if I hate the hair and it's one of the most visible details, then the grass is ignorable

Well, the hair isn't exactly silky-smooth, but it's still well done.

I was definitely trying to stay away from the smooth. Still it could have turned out better. Doesn't look natural > >

huh. that's odd. I know I've seen this in all it's glory, yet I realized I hadn't faved it... so clearly, I had to remedy that. Unfortunately, I have no talent, and am juggling quite a few things myself, otherwise, I would be honored to offer any contributions to moving the project forward.
Sorry again, that I can't be of any help, but take care, and this work really is just beautiful; wonderful job.

One of the things I keep saying there's more to the project than just the art
But if you're too short on time then don't worry. Right now things are halted > >

I think I remember you saying in the journal that you were waiting on a full set of teams before getting anything underway, but I don't recall seeing anything marking the progress on recruiting. How close would you say you are to having all the help you need?
I mean, I'm not very creative, but perhaps I could pitch in with one of the early stages, that is to say, stage 1, 2 or 3. I'm afraid if I help in any of the later stages, I'll muck it up and then it won't look very good.
