1) My project is about STEREOTYPES. I don't plan to make all characters pretentious, plain or completely

inoffensive

. Instead, I believe the project needs more humor and stereotypes.





2) I'm not trying to offend anyone, this is not a political, social or serious historical research,

therefore

I draw what I want in my personal project. If our points of view don't match, well, that's life.

Please, make sure you read it carefully.

3) Dear friends and visitors, sorry if I haven't had time to draw your country yet. I read comments and I remember about the project.

But I have a permanent main job and personal life.

riches,

exuberance, etc. Italy is one of the progenitors of the Western culture, and it's the way I want to see and remember the country that I studied so much about in my childhood. So here's an Italian merchant. Rich, arrogant, handsome, knowing the value of money and himself. He fought a lot in the past, but now abandoned the bloody trade and prefers business instead. He is interested in selling and buying very expensive and exclusive goods. He has links within the criminal world and is very tough with his competitors.

Spain. Actually, I do not know very much about Spain, only some general info from world's history. But I associate it with a warlike country in its best years. With richness, conquest

As a base for Italy, I took an Italian actor and power. Spain is still a warrior and is waiting for adventures, but my Spain is kinder than Italy (lol). They are both friends As a base for Italy, I took an Italian actor Riccardo Scamarcio and for Spain, Spanish actor Jordi Mollà (I'm still not so good at portraits...). Handsome guys!





As a result, we have two "golden" characters. I do not aim to flatter or offend anyone in this way, yeap, I know that in the real world these countries are different . I took parts that are interesting to me now, not because someone asked me not to draw stereotypical things (for example pasta). If I want to draw something in an unflattering way, I will do it : )



Well, I didn’t write a big text about the history of the countries, just more about my thoughts. Due to the fact that I still do not want to receive insults because of my vision.



I still hold the line in my personal artworks to draw things how I see them. And I hope you like it.



Thank you for your understanding, patience, competent criticism and warm words.

And on a positive note, Happy New Year, everyone

p.s later, a video will appear on my YouTube channel and on my Artstation page.

I decided to upload it before the New Year. I drew it for a long time and made a lot of revisions. I think that's enough for now.I wanted to draw two countries, two characters together. Because I think they are quite similar and have something in common in their culture and style.Italy. I visited Italy (in the beginning I had other less than beautiful ideas about the character), and I have never been to Spain. But over time, I decided to change Italy, and take the Renaissance stereotype about
