Prussia definitely looks more balanced there. He and Germany have that strange eye-shape that he and Poland have to deal with but it doesn't look quite as wonky and much more handsome. I think it might have something to do with the way the brow is shaped too, now that I look at it.
I remember being struck by how little strength Germany had in his face when I first saw these. He has kind of a square jaw but I always remembered him with more powerful features I guess? He looks almost pretty in some of those head shots and.....quite a lot like Prussia in the upper left one now that I look at it. Other than nose shape.
This is where Russia first started to look much more "bishie", for lack of a better word. I was kind of shocked when I saw it but not unhappy! This is also where we first got a glimpse of what he would look like without the scarf and looking at it again I notice that he somehow looks a lot different without it. Actually having a neck you can see, even if it's just a sketch beneath the scarf, makes a lot of difference in his appearance. He looks smaller, maybe?
Yes, if only Himaruya could always be that consistent! Sometimes I think he might want to be but lately he was trying to churn things out really fast for us with the rapid-fire updates. I just hope he's been doodling a few things in his spare time while he's been gone and will upload some amazing stuff when he returns! If he returns....
