This Artist Shows Us What Different Countries Would Look Like When They Were People
Which iconic features will pop up in your mind when you think about Japan? Kimono, Kanata, Sushi, and cherry blossom with polite but unpredictable people? What about the US? Most of us have our own images of some countries based on what we know about them. Even though what we think might not be true, stereotypes are always there.
Based on this generalization, many artists have created characters presenting a country. It’s really cool to see how the traits of a nation you keep in your head are transformed into a person. A character will be designed carefully with the most remarkable features of the country, such as costumes, weapons, and mascot. Even the character’s personality is built in accordance with some characteristics of that country.
Here we have collected the latest cool drawing project of the Russian artist named Anastasia Bulgakova. "I draw personifications of different countries," she wrote. "All of them will be militant and warrior-like, with dirt and blood. Not because of some political persuasion, but simply because that what I always draw in any case, and the idea of warrior-countries gives a lot of creative freedom for my personification examples."
She has illustrated countries in human forms after taking the opinions of native people about the nation into account. "Every character is going to have some attributed stereotypes that I am going to use in one way or another," the artist admitted.
