Description
IT IS HERE. FINALLY.Previous:[link]
Next: [link]
So here's where it really begins!
This is my comic/doujin about the Finnish Winter War (1939-1940), which greatly affected both the Axis and Allied actions in WWII but alas, gets so little mention in the history books.
Basically, Timo's tougher than you think.
Anyway so after the Baltics gave in to Russia's demands, Russia tried the same tactic with Finland, only to find that Finland was just a little more stubborn and wanted more to spend more time negotiating. Stalin and Molotov became impatient, and basically they made it look as if the Finns had shot down Soviet troops in Mainila and used that as an excuse to begin invading, similar to the ruse that Hitler used to invade Poland.
"In my house, bad little boys don't get any supper."
heh heh heh Creepy!Russia is so fun to write and draw.
School's out folks, so hopefully I can get Chapter two finished faster than this part, so sorry for the wait! And as usual, if any of you need to correct my historical comments or anything, just tell me! I really do try to be as accurate as possible.

Hieno sarjakuva täytyy sanoa.
Pystytkö vielä tekemään vastaavan jatkosodasta?

Olen pahoillani!!! olen amerikkalainen ja en ole sujuvasti puhuja, sori :0
haha i used to learn it, but I still only know a few words!! I'm happy you like the comic,
there were a couple updates after this one tomato-bird.deviantart.com/art… but im not sure if I'll be able to keep doing it. This topic is really interesting to me and I've learned a lot by working on this comic, though!
Drawing action scenes, with tanks is and forests is also very difficult! I didn't realize how hard it was until I started, haha. However I think I have gotten some very good experience for artwork and research in the future!!
Kiitoksia paljon!! Hyvää paivää

Greetings from Finland!
I meant earlier that:
could you make a comic about continuation war?
Here is some information:

Ahhh I see! (sorry for super late response) And I'd love to, I was originally going to explain a bit about the Continuation War and Finland's relationship with Germany after that after I finished "Not If Hell Freezes Over" but since I've kind of paused production on this project I don't think it's really going to happen, at least, not as a fully-done comic. I might make some individual artworks and use them as a basis for doing more research and explanation, but not yet :0 Thank you for commenting tho!!

Oh wow, that was really dramatic! I love historical Hetalia stuff.
Is that picture of Sweden foreshadowing something? I that Finland and Sweden were going to do a military cooperation or something. Any special reason why it happened in the middle of the night, too?
AND I LOVE YOUR STYLE
THE SHADING IS BEAUTIFUL

Scene from Mcgee's Alice/ Hetalia Crossover "Adventures of Wonderland"
Alice dries Wonderland's tears and softly sings
"Hush little baby don't say a word
Mama's gonna keep you safe and sound
and if they won't leave us alone
Mama's gonna use her Vorpal Blade
and if they tried to do the bad touch on you
Mama's gonna break all of their fingers
and if they tried to take you away
Mama's gonna cut off all their heads
and if they ever capture you
Mama's gonna rip their cold-hearts out
and if they ever tried to control you
Mama's gonna make their nightmares come true"

Wow~ this is brilliant! I wish there was more historical Hetalia things. I really like your style, and the emotions that you drew in the characters, really good job.

Thank you! Yeah I wish there was too–as a longtime history buff the historical side of things was the thing that attracted me the most to the series, even if it makes up only a small part of it.

Wondering about that glance to the picture of him a Sweden... Was it just part of the story or was somehing going on at the time?

tomato-bird In reply to Kitsune693 [2012-06-15 17:46:19 +0000 UTC]
Oh, it's just part of the story–to help sort of the theme about friends and all. I like to think they went on a skiing trip together sometime, and this is a photo from it.

Dude... Finland is in SO much trouble. But he'll kick Russian butt in the end, so I'm not TOO worried. Poor Poland and the Baltics, though.

Yup It'll take them longer to get over it. Timo will lose Viipuri (Vyborg)but will be one of the only countries bordering Russia that was NOT assimilated into the USSR...long live Finland
