France and 2PFrance redesign

Description

A reworking of the 2PFrance design from [link]
I redid this design four times before I was truly happy with it. So here he is, along with the original version for comparison.

I wasn’t really impressed with the original 2PFrance design. He’s seems a bit of a one note joke; he’s France but a bit of a bum. I wanted something that could be an actual antagonist for France.
Antagonist? Why Raax, you say that as if you’re writing a story about them. Well yes. Yes I have. It’s been in the pipeline for a bit of a while, but I’m working on it. The main reason for not mentioning it is the last time I announced a big story it sort of flopped horribly. But this one will see the light of day.

So to reiterate some details about this version of France: he still has a monarchy because in his world the French Revolution failed, and he has gone out of his way to stop any other subsequent revolutions from succeeding (mainly because he's likes to hang on to all the nice you get from rich people). He’s very aristocratic and looks down on everyone else as peasants. He only every wears the best and most expensive of clothing he can find. However, he’s been suffering from syphilis since about the 1700’s. My friend actually suggested since he’d be so prideful in his appearance he’d more likely wear a wig. But I just enjoy drawing his hair all messy.


I did these in my attempt at copying Himaruya’s colouring style (still mixed with bits of my normal colouring style), which invariably leads to everything looking very shiny.

I like the idea that the other France’s name is Louis (or Louie, it kinda fits)

This is dedicated to :iconmendaciousmadame:, who suggested the entire idea behind 2PFrance and has been such a big help shaping this character.
Hetalia and the original 2Pdesigns belong to Himaruya Hidekaz, this design was originally inspired by ~yellowmellow91

I can't chose between the Useless Wannabe Dracula or the Frenchmen who actually is useful.
