Well, it's done *wipes brow*

The front for 1 out of the 2 that you cards me and *Keysha-chan are making for Vic- Edward Eleric's English voice actor when he comes to New Zealand to the comic convention next weekend.

[link] <- Keysha-chan's half of the deal [emoticon] CUTE!!! XD

I have worked my BUTT off to get this done, but aside from the background grass (not the foreground stuff), I think this turned out well ^^ I'm not use to armour too well- in fact metal really sucks big time to colour, but I think I managed a new (cause he keeps getting replacements cause he destroys his automail every half a year XD ), slightly beat up looking automail, and may I add, a VERY glossy top and bottom O.o I think I made his butt too... yes... moving on ^^;

I love how alot of this turned out which is a first!! XD Particulaly the plaits- I thought they would funk out, but they didn't which surprised me!!

Yeah- tried to bring a bit of Ed's personality out here- wide, but serious eyes cause he's still very young, but hardened in spirit. The automail doing a challenging point to someone off the picture... who? Maybe Alphonse... Those two are always sparring ^^

Background house is Ed and Al's house before they burnt it down- back in Resembool. Took a bit of reserch to find a suitable background for this, but I think I've found it ^^

Hope Vic likes it!!

I don’t know much about fullmetal alchemist, but I like this pose, the perspective of the metal arm and how he is pointing with his index finger. Feels like he is pointing right to me, the watcher of the picture, and it makes me feel, hm… somewhat uneasy. Oh, and I like how you have colored the arm and the metal surface.

Yeah- I tried for a bet up look ^^ The finger thing was a dynamic I tried out to show him giving a challenge. Very cool pose [emoticon] He's a very serious kid. Young too... O.o

*giggles* Buuutt. x3

I like the staff-type-weapon he's holding--the little demon/dragon on the end of it. And I LOVE your metallic shine effects, and the detail in his braid. ! And the chain of his state alchemist pocket watch! (That is what's poking out of his right pants pocket... right? *sweatdrop*) I envy them--and your foreshortening skills. <3

You've done very well capturing the personality of the character in your artwork, it's gorgeous.

Yes- that is his state alchemist watch chain ^^ The staff is from Ed's first battle in the series against the profit Cornello. I always loved it when he made weapons cause it was such a crude, down to earth way of doing it. He's very hands on [emoticon] His automail took aaaages to get right though ^^; Capturing the confidence he has was a little difficult, cause he's so young, but so hardened... I ended up settling for a challenging look with a cheeky smile, cause he always seemed to relax while in battle. He rarely intenionally acts his age. Glad you like it ^^

I was trying for the right age actually ^^; Unfortunatly I was very sick at the time from just coming out of a cast- I injured my drawing thumb really badly :< I wanted to give his english voice actor a thank you card for coming to NZ though ^^ Luckily, he doesn't know I could've done better if I wasn't just getting back into art ^^;

Thats bad to read, you're the 3rd person I've talked to that has been injured or badly sick.
The bad thing about it is, I've only talked to 3 people so far! lol
Hehe, the artwork still looks nice though.

Don't worry [emoticon] It was over a year ago and my hand is fully recovered now ^^ I'm back to square one... as such- I've had bad sleeping patterns though so my current art isn't great- I hope to improve it now I'm in the new house and stressless [emoticon] Maybe ^^; Lol
