Zophia poked me to make a thread. I know this will die off quickly, but I guess I could just show off some work in progress, and what I have managed to do by combining MsPaint and GIMP.

The first one is the outline. It is done in MsPaint, since GIMP was acting up.

The next two is the coloured result, both coloured in GIMP (It was acting okay again)
The difference is the outline. The upper one is with the original outline:

With this one I copied the outline and blured it. So the original outline is on top, the next layer is blured, and then the colour come:

The last one here is what I will think of as the conclusion. A gradient layer from GIMP, smudged out and adjusted, again with the smudge tool. The lazy solution, I know.

Work in progress, right? I do not know if I am going to make it any better.

All I can say is that if your food takes all the way to your rectum to start turning into fecal matter, you've got one hell of a malabsorption pathology. Such as a severe Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, poorly managed coeliac disease, previous Whipple's procedure for some kind of pancreatic disease...

[Warning: Post contains huge amount of emo, self bashing and depression]

Terrible day. Got a little better, then it got even worse... I failed completely at drawing, and I continue to... Trying to think up a nice gift for my brother, starts drawing. About halfway through I realize how completely off it is. I try to make it better, gets to a point where I think it might be okay and begin the inking. The feeling of something, everything being wrong gets stronger and stronger, lines fail to look good, get twisted and too thin or too thick without any way of making it better.
In lack of common sense it seems, I continue to ink the horrific thing, wasting good ink and better paper. When I draw the last line, I look at it, concluding that I should never even have thought about it.
Waste of time and error... Half the lines do not follow the lineart, because of my lack of light to see the lines, the rest if just plan off...
Wanting to throw up.
I stare at the lack of talent, thoughts and passion... Mainly wanting to rip it to pieces but I do not...

I sit by my laptop, trying to get the ideas down on epaper, but every line is wrong, I cannot do anything right, it just looks like a piece of crap, and continue to do so. All the ideas are ruined... Unable to do anything right, to draw my way out of the feeling of needing a punishment... My hands and wrists are sore... Still not helping anything, just making anything worse, ruin everything.. The only thing I can do... Destroy...

I have been watching Hetalia fan videos all day.
And fanart.
And have been annoying Zophia with it all that time.
SO it ended up with her suggesting this picture.

More explaination:
Hetalia is a webcmoic/anime based on ww2, having anthropomorphed the nations. Most of the situations throughout history has been drawn using these characters.
*Russia (another character Cen has been compared to) has jumped from a plane without a paprachute (silly parachuters - Snow is soft enough for ANYTHING) screaming VOOODDDKKAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa. The bottle of vodka is one of his trademarks, pretty much.
*Italia (South) likes eating. And is known to scream out Pastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

So yeah, Zophia thought it could be fun having the two of them yelling out.
And... Kai is rather fond of food.

But yeah, Russia/Ivan is my grand favorite.
For some reason... Mental, drinking, Russian guy?
