My weird Artbook

Czech History

Would you look at that

It's Czechia :D

And history- combined!
Amazing :DDDD

Anyways, here is my modern day Czechia design:

Their aspect is based on the three main regions within Czechia, to which we'll get in a second-
But the aspects include the White Bohemian Lion (ears and split tail) and Moravian (red and white) and Silesian (black and white) Eagles.
Also their right eye is slightly damaged and they can't see properly with it.

This one is with the three regions during WW2

The story behind it is that Bohemia (as a human citizen) got forcefully enlisted into the German Army after the Battle of Stalingrad and the German forces slowly started to collapse. Moravia was enraged by the news and the two got into an argument as Moravia was unwilling to let Bohemia fight for their oppressors. Both didn't like the Germans, but they didn't really have a choice. The fight was senseless, but they were incredibly pressured and all their problems and struggles came together for this fight.

At the time the three of them were in charge of the country alone, as Czechoslovakia managed to escape the Third Reich in early 1940 and joined the RAF.

Speaking of Czechoslovakia, I haven't drawn this legend in such a long time and I just really enjoy his design, so yey for me :D

This too is about WW2 and like I said, Czechoslovakia (the one in front) joined the allies and fought indirectly for his country as he and Poland together helped the UK during the Battle of Britain (therefore ensuring that the War had any chance of being won by the allies in the first place) and continued their work in the RAF when Britain entered the North Africa Campaign.

The one the back is the shell that was left after he escaped- since his country itself was still occupied and during the war he basically represented the free fighters, his soul was split to allow the continued existence of the puppet state's representative- essentially, this is the evil version, the one that was as corrupt as the Third Reich itself and fought for the axis.
A similar thing happened with France, as she was split into the Free French Forces and Vichy France.

I'm gonna be honest with you here, this is purely my artistic brain completely taking over, but only having 30 minutes to make something atleast a bit acceptable-
The idea behind it was the Second Defenestration of Prague, but highly stylized. The person in the picture is Prague, although that is very hard to tell ._.

Yeah anyways, that's it, that was me Czech posting, I hope you enjoyed it :)
