GerUkr: Hades and Persephone

This is for [link] who is a huge Germany X Ukraine fan.
When I started this I was keeping the myth of Hades and Persephone in mind. Ukraine being the spring and breath of life into Germany dark eternity as the sentry of the underworld. Obvious this is a little more happy then the original story, in that they want to be together here. I made sure to give Ukraine a tan because as spring she's outside, she's under sun, in contrast to Germany's pale skin from being under the earth. I tried a few new things here and I'm fairly happy with it despite the major mistake I made before I could get it ready for coloring.
I've been trying to finish my drawings instead of stopping at the outline/line art.
Here the light of spring life is sparkling from Ukraine's dress. It was really fun to figure out how to make it glowing and such.
