Description So yeah I'm actually really really really nervous about posting this bc it's fanart for a fanfic that hasn't been updated since 2015 and I don't want this to come off as annoying ; www ;

I LIIIVEEEE   

Uhh I was suddenly dragged back into the Hetalia fandom by accidentally stumbling across a bunch of character songs on YouTube, soooo of course, I ended up re-reading a bunch of fanfic too... and here we are with this art!

Ages ago in 2010, the wonderful published 'Behind the Mask'  and I ended up finding it again now, all the way in 2019! wew long time I feel old I started reading for USUK, but I ended up loving the OC's so much and I wanna draw them all and akjdhgkajsfgs;jojds;k;a Honestly I wanna draw a whole comic for this fic but aaaaa that might be insensitive

But yeah, I just wanna express my appreciation for this fanfic's existence by drawing some art ; w ; even though it came out ages ago haha It's either on a long hiatus or has been discontinued , but that's fine because I don't think fanfic authors owe anyone anything, I'm just glad to have read what's been written in the first place ^^ Plus, I have many a discontinued fanfics :'))

Uuh and as a little explanation for what's happening in this picture (if you've read the fanfic, you'll probably get it):

- There's older England who we see at the beginning of the story
- And younger England who we follow throughout the rest of the story
- The shards are the memories he's slowly getting back
- There's a thornless rose, a UK flag and USA flag and finally wings (though it's a bit hard to see them)

omg I'm rambling too much

Process
I kinda made it into a book cover too??

Okay, time to disappear for another year and a half bye

Ooooooooooooh wow, I didn't expect this! It has been a very long time since Behind te Mask got fanart... then again, I realize that it has been a ridiculously long time since my last update. For that I'm very sorry, it was never my intention to drop it for so long. ;w; The worst part is that I have been writing the next chapter every once in a while, there were just massive writing blocks that blocked my progress.

Oh gosh, it's been almost a decade. I feel so old. This fic feels so old, and it's still unfinished. T_T I haven't officially discontinued Behind the Mask, if that puts your mind at ease. While I'm working on it, I don't know when the next chapter will be done. Maybe I will get the inspiration to have it done in a few weeks. On the other hand, it could take another year... I'm very sorry, I wish I had better news to give to you. ;_; I'm genuinely surprised to find you're still reading it, the fandom has grown so silent.

Ack where are my manners?? Back to your wonderful picture! ^^
What can I say, I absolutely adore this!! I find your use of colours to be very lovely, and honestly I love the symbolism you integrated into your picture! I love how you have the two Englands facing opposing directions, with old England looking back over his shoulder while young England looks forward. I appreciate this so much, it was a wonderful surprise and it warms my heart that you're still into the story and that you appreciate my OCs too!!
Thank you so much for drawing this beautiful artpiece, I love it!!

woAh late reply sorry aa
Thanks so much for the reply! > < I am ten years late to drawing fanart so I can understand it was unexpected haha
It's one of these fanfics I'll go back and re-read if the Hetalia fandom has hooked me again, except this time I actually had the programmes (and more skills x_x) to draw something for it too : D

And aaa please don't worry about updating or anything! Take your time! ;; I definitely understand writing block and having no enthusiasm to write old fics :') I'm waayy worse because of all the fics I've left unfinished ; w ; Even if you did discontinue it in the future, I'm just glad I could read what I could, so no pressure! uwu

I'm glad you like the drawing too aa ty! <3 I was originally gonna draw some thorns around (or maybe near) old England too but I'm not great at drawing plantlife so I went for the shards instead ^^ and aaa I definitely appreciate your OCs in this story! I actually began liking the scenes with them more than the USUK I came there for haha Usually I'm sceptical over OCs in fanfic, but yours are so well-developed afsfdffdf I want to draw some when I'm not buried in college work T _ T

But I'm happy you like my drawing! And thank you for writing the fanfic in the first place! uwu <3
Sorry about the lonnnng reply haha ; w;
