Artist's Comments

>.> Um- I kinda forgot to submit the finished version of this...

Well.. It was ages ago that I finished this and there are some faults in this, but I kinda don't want to change it now cause it was ages ago I completed it... Comments appreciated on it.

The artistic lo-down:-

Sketch thumb WIP1 thumb  WIP2 thumb

Picture was done in pencil with no referance. I did look up some German faces cause I reckon that's what he'd have to be (Considering the Earth version is in Germany- goodness knows why he isn't blond though >.> [emoticon]

So yes- a tribute to my favourite Full Metal Alchemist character- Maes Hughes. The lovable Father with the heart of gold. All you FMA fans all know you love him too ^^ [emoticon] There need to be more sweet characters like him out there

Ah glad to see that you finished this. It turned out very cool [emoticon] I like the texturing on his coat and the photo of the little girl in the back. It's made of cuteness XD

The anime is alot shorter, and most prefer that to the manga (Most cause Archer is in that one- Archer is a crazy bastard XD )- I like the manga also thoguh, cause it delves alot deeper into Edward's Dad- he's a really interesting character. Do finish it though, cause its VERY cool [emoticon] And Maes is awesome ^^ [emoticon]

Very cool work. I especially love how smoothly you could shade his face, I always fail at that in class. And Hughes is an awesome character <3

Oh- that's mostly careful use of a blending stub XD If I didn't use that, I'd be washing my hands every 10 seconds :3 They give a nice light tone which is sometimes all it needs. You can't see some of my blending though cause its what the scanner ends up destroying in the scanning process T.T It's so sad...

He's not really holding them, but I thought it was a nice background image since he loved them so much ^^ He's such a family man ^^ [emoticon]

I want to cry when I see him! OOOH that was so horrible when he was nuked.
Beautiful pencilwork, detail...A wonderful portrait of him, I loved how you included his daughter's photos--since he was SUCH a proud poppa.

Oh very ^^ I couldn't have a picture of Maes in formal without Maes' wonderful heart in the background cuddling his adorable daughter and wife ^^ The movie saddened me a little though how the Earth version was. It really depressed me. I can't imagine Maes as anything but a wonderful guy ^^

Yeah, the movie ticked me off on a couple things---but I agree I guess everyone's alternate universe version of themselves is a shocker. Although.......his death/sweet personality in the series makes sense now that I saw the movie.

I think that's what they wanted- polar opposite... but they kinda got the Elric brothers a little weird cause they didn't change personalities. They were so similar, yet so different... I donno- I kinda wish they were a little more random about the changes between the worlds. It was nice to do the fangirl sight see through the movie though [emoticon] Spot the characters ^^
