[FANCOMIC][FANART] History of Taiwan

Preview:



I listened to the Taiwan tourism video clip music for about a million times to help me finish this thingy! The first idea was merely a doodle: "hey! Taiwan's history is short! I can do this!" .....Yeah, it got about 5 pages longer than I expected, because when keeping everyone in character, the story just tells by itself :).

In the original character profile Taiwan is described as "strong-willed and fashionable girl with many things to worry about", I guess now I understand where that comes from.

I hope everything is coherent...feel free to beat me up if it's not, I know I have bad records with the grammar police. It was impossible to read anything at sketch stage, so this time had to do some post-production!

p.s. It's kind of interesting that this shall follow the recent post by [info]meltedpeep aka the genius, thank god there weren't too much overlapping, lol, OR ELSE I'LL BE SCOOPED OTZ. I'm sure you've all seen the great stuff, reference again here. If you ever wondered what exactly happened before and after Japan took Taiwan away, well...

Note: "Danshui" is one of the earliest sea port city occupied by Spain (later by Netherlands) and also the entry point of western culture. There is also a fort in Danshui named "Fort Antonio" *mwahhahahahaha*. I am not kidding. See Fort Antonio here.

Note: Netherlands is the more overpowering guy rather than Spain, but I want to draw more Spain, sorry. Spain in 17th century outfit, oh yeah.

Note: Taiwan still grows tomatos everywhere. She's got her own recipes now! Antonio must be very proud.
Note: It's not like China knows how to deal with little boys either.

Note: It was kind of hard to decide what the relationship between China and Taiwan here, either foster parent/child, brother/sister or husband/wife...They were a little bit like UK/US, being that during this time period, many Chinese started to migrate to Taiwan, making up the majority of the population of Taiwan today...so I went with brother and sister. Besides, that seems to be what's going around in the fandom. An older brother that didn't want a sassy baby sister lol. Being Hetalia, they can easily be siblings with "awkward" relationship OTZ.


Note: Japan was really serious about the top model thing. For such a short period of time, he enforced sewer system, railway, unified measurement, banks, radio and telecommunications, police stations, industrialization of the sugar and rice business...you name it...all onto Taiwan. Language, currency and education abruptly changed to parallel Japan mainland.

Note: Majority of Taiwanese people that experienced the Japanese Rule era have some nostalgic thing going on.Thus the connection Taiwan feels for Japan.

Note: The Chairman panel. Soooooo wrong. :)

Note: After Taiwan moved out, China and Taiwan went separate ways with their own bosses, and became more and more different as time goes by. China ran with the Communist ideas and Taiwan, after bxxxx-slapping her bosses, eventually became Democratic. So sassy. After they were finally done dealing with their bosses, and starts talking to each other, they are unable to agree on anything...as of today. (Something colored, ahhhhhh!)

Before China and Taiwan sorts their issues out, Taiwan will be very happily enjoying her bubble tea, while making Acer computer. I really wanted that Acer Aspire One netbook. The End!

"Ilha Formosa"! I would never have known that. "Formosa" is so old-fashioned, haha~ (why yes I am very happy to see Portugal :/ )

Yay! History lesson! I knew next to nothing about Taiwan, thanks!

I heard there is a total of 12 Ilha Formosa around the world. Portugal...needs more words...

Eh yes, I have similar experiences about Taiwanese not wanting to be associated with being Chinese. Have no idea how widespread it is, but at least from where I stand it's not that rare.

Heh, I sort of see Japan/Taiwan as a really weird, not very strong pairing, because he's weird and she yells at him.

This is amazingly cute!! I can't imagine how long it would take to make this * A*

I'm ABC [ Chinese from Taiwan ], so I've never understood my mother's ramblings on the Japanese culture xDD But thanks to this, I've learned a lot~

The last picture~ I happen to be drinking boba, so suprised xDD [ wait, but I drink it twice a week or so... ]
Acers are so very cruel to me. TT vTT Last one crashed and died within the span of a month...

I must confess now that I am a EhMac (Canadian Mac User).
ASUS also crossed my mind when I was trying to pick a Made In Taiwan computer, but I had horrible experiences with it too. Uh...but more people are ok with Acer.

Oh, I LOVED this~! I was laughing AND learning. *nod nod*

(But Taiwan, you have to keep those boys in line! XD)

When I look back on this I have to agree that Taiwan's history is full of boy trouble lol.

Hey! I am a Taiwanese, and I love it !

It's more useful than my history textbooks, really!

Great post! The art is pretty, and adorable. I like the dark outlines.
Have to disagree with that "nostalgia" thing though.

[info]maianarisa

Hahahahaha *dies laughing*

That was definitely an awesome way to tell Taiwan's history!

I love the way you draw Taiwan! She looks so cute ♥
But I also have to disagree w/ the nostalgia bit, like someone else mentioned above ^ >>;;

February 23 2009, 05:35:38 UTC 3 years ago

OK I just bought the Acer Aspire computer you speak of, what a coincidence that Mei-Mei for lack of an assigned name, I believe China would have called her Mei-mei at some point, if he doesn't still. And I'm sure she hates it is pimping one out XD.

I must tell you that I loved this. LOVED!! I've sort of been thinking about Taiwan, and yes, bitch-slapping. Actually, I see her parliament as being Taiwan's PMS, but also a hint to just how fierce she is. You don't want to cross Taiwan!

And OMG - she is scarier than the panda attack. The whole interaction between Taiwan and China... I approve of this!

[info]maianarisa

February 23 2009, 07:37:14 UTC 3 years ago

Actually, I see her parliament as being Taiwan's PMS

Haha, YES! So true, especially with all the brawls. @___@

February 23 2009, 05:38:03 UTC 3 years ago

your comics and painting style are ♥ :DDDD

China's panda reminds of that Xing girl from FMA orz can't remember her name....

[info]ctcsherry

February 23 2009, 14:48:58 UTC 3 years ago

You know what actually that's who exactly came across my mind when I draw that panda! It was not intended though I just thought it would be funny if the panda do the same poses as China...and then later I realize they are now just like May and her panda...|||||||

I want some bubble tea now lol, even though I had some like yesterday.

Incestuous proposal... the China-Taiwan relationship is scary in both real life and Hetalia XD (A lot of the people who live in Yao's house insists they are already married actually)

February 23 2009, 05:39:18 UTC 3 years ago

WOW, TAIWAN! You sure have nice legs!! xDD

I loved this!!! Your drawing style is so beautiful and detailed *3* and I'm really thankful for the history explanation!! I also didn't know much about Taiwan xDD Except that here there are lots of taiwanese exports~ lol

Damn you draw one sexy Chairman~ ;D

Nice art and history lesson! *A*
Nice Spain too.

[info]ctcsherry

February 23 2009, 14:54:48 UTC 3 years ago

Spain is so hot. I have the urge to draw something related to the Age of Discoveries, but missing Portugal and Netherlands as a character would be so painful.
Right now I'm content with just mentioning Hapsburg. Musket. Delicious.

And tomato is my favorite vegetable.

February 23 2009, 06:04:56 UTC 3 years ago

Wow. That was just... Wow. XD I learned so much more history with this than what I did in my history class. Hahahah~ I love the last picture~ So pretty!

That's really infomative! And you draw well! I had a nice "Hetalia" feel all over the comic! Nice job!
