Hey all...Just came to check up (lol)...Thanks a bunch Tombow, I'm glad you like my original characters! I may end up making more to show you all...And you know what I never really thought about making a story with them...But that would be interesting idea...I'll definitely keep that in mind

And Empathy, thank you very much for the lovely comment...I am totally happy(lol) that you guys like these...I never really thought the public would like them...But you guys actually like them...(lol)...And yeah I agree with you I like Alphonse when he is regular self, I try to avoid drawing him in that armor...But I noticed that's his known body, since in all the official art you see him in it lol...Also I like your avatar, I think Lust is also going to be another challenge for me to draw, I never drew her before...(lol)

Anywho the progress on the picture, I'm working on now...I'm still trying to color it up, I got it all drawn out and laid out...But this coloring and highlighting takes up time (lol)...I'm trying to pick a lot of calm colors...Because I don't want to blind you guys (lol) Anywho it should be done real soon, either this weekend hopefully...Just wanted to give you guys a update on it....(lol)

Well from working on this picture for so long...I'm finally finish, well I think I am. Whew, this is going to be a long post, because I got a lot to comment on here (lol) First I would like to say I've been working on this drawing for a week now, it took up some time, and plus HW and projects I get. Also everything you see on the picture was another challenge test for me to do...But I made a day for it. Let me start off commenting by the background....

The Background- The background was a idea I made up in my mind, you really can't see it, because of all the characters blocking it. But the idea of it is their supposed to be out in a field. And you can see the grass as it laid out like a plain flat area, and also that somewhat badly designed fence I made. Not to good and making at those, it was first time thing anyway.

Now on to the characters...(lol)

Edward- This char was the first person I drew and colored. I figured he had to be the best designed one, since he is up in the front. I was studying pics of Edward, and I tried to add in everything he has. Like that pocket watch hanging out for instance. I also got the outfit from this pic Edward, the only thing I did was change the coloring of the outfit. Also you may noticed Ed has some black letterings on his human arm...As I did before I thought it be fun to add Edward those tatoos, I even added the symbol, that he has on the back of his red cloak. That also in turns me into his pose, he had the most challenging one to do, since also including he is on a bike. The bike I had drew from looking at a book, and um I noticed on the bike they drew in the books, some parts of the bike was missing. But I followed along, you may noticed the spinner looking thing is missing in the middle of the wheels, but I just noticed that now...(lol) I think it too late to change it now, I hope its not too noticable, lets just say the wheels are balanced from thin air (lol). I also added on this little slogan that Ed hates to be called, you can see this little circle looking face thing. I don't know if you all can read the handwriting but its say 'Beware! Never Say Short...' (lol)...I thought it would suit Ed since its supposed to be his bike. And lastly so I can get off discussing Edward (lol). He may look a little taller, well the person on the bike I drew from in the book, was kind like adverage height. I didn't know it would effect Ed height (Lol). Aw...well...enough talk on him (lol).

Den- Den the dog which is supposed be the family dog, was the last char I drew and hightlighted and also the last one I laid out on the picture. At first I didn't have a clue of how the dog look from my memory, so I had to find pictures of the actual Den, and started from there. And making sure to add in that automail of his...

Winry and Sheska(I hope this how you spell her name lol)- These two were the second one's I colored up and laid out. They both were drawn on the same paper, thats why there kind of bunched together. I noticed lately Sheska has been hanging around Winry, so I added her in the pic as well. Also I never drew Sheska before, so she was a test, I also drew the usual book in her hand, since she is supposed to be known as a bookworm (lol). Winry beside her has a basket in her hand. From in the previous episode I saw her with one, so I decided to add it in. Their clothes were made from me, I noticed Sheska has green eyes, so I put green on her. And Winry has these blue eyes, so I added her in with blue. If you noticed or you may not noticed, but you 'now' will noticed (lol) is that Winry and Sheska don't have any feet. Well really there feet wasn't supposed to be drawn at all, so thats why I didn't draw them. And thats also why I kind of added Den in there to cover it up a alittle, though it maybe still noticable I tried. I hate that it happen, but everything never can goes as you plan it (lol). Another thing I like to add in is, Winry and Sheska got these weird looking expressions on their faces. Both of them were a test, I wanted to see if I could draw Winry look with the sort of Anime shock or speechless look more like it and Sheska with this laughing or joyful Anime look. I never really drew the characters I have in the previous FMA drawings I done, with extreme expressions, so I wanted to try it. Winry's expression is pretty different on her...(lol)

Alphonse- And last but not least to comment on, is ole Al. I was deciding if I was going draw him as his regular self. But then I thought since I made Edward with his automail, that I should go ahead and make Alphonse metal as well. He is small for a reason, because he was meant to be in the back. I am happy at how he turned out, the hightlighting was pretty cool and actually made him look like metal (lol). Alphonse also has this embarassed Anime look on his face, with the sweat drop. I think its interesting because I see that expression on his face a lot...(lol)

And thats all the comments I have on the chars I drew for this picture. Now for the picture as whole, you all may noticed I turned this into a sort of comic kind of thing. I never done one of those before, so I tried it as well. I added in the bubbles that I thought would fit the characters...You can say this whole picture was basically a Humor kind of FMA test picture. One of my first one's that took me awhile to do and also considering so much expressions is going on in it. In conclusion, I hope you like it and now I'm finally finish (lol).

You don't have to read all what I wrote (lol), I just thought you may like to know, incase something you have a question on. In the future I think I may do more of these...

PS: The good Wrath was supposed to be one on the bike instead of Ed and I was going to draw Izumi by him, but then another idea popped up in my mind and it was this one (lol)...Oh and sorry if some of the colors are too bright, I tried to tone down my saturation (lol).

FMA Pic

I think its good how much you explain your pictures as it shows hos much care and effort you put into your work. And it must pay off as think your artwork is great. There is a slight western drawing feeling to them but that is not a ctitisism. Keep up the good work, I shall be looking out for more.

Thank you Chiyo, I really appreciate your comment...Yeah its a habit with me and its true what you wrote, I do want everyone to know what I did and the kind of effort I put into the drawing, the coloring is what seems to take up most of the time(lol)...I'm glad you like my art though, and I'll try to get some more up in due time:)

Wow, your first manga comic!!!
And... It looks great!!
I love the "country"ish background, Ed with the bike idea, funny Al, and cute Sheska, Winry, and Den with each own expressions nicely matching with their diaglogue!!
Nice drawing on all the characters, and I love the outfits also!!
Very good job on shading and highlighting, especially on Al, and also Ed's hair, and his black pants!! Wonderful job!!
I see what you mean about the bike, about missing parts.
(No worry, I bet Ed can fix it in a jiffy with his alchemy!! )
I like this one very much!!

:hugs: lol Thanks Tombow! I'm happy that you really enjoyed this one as well, that does bring light to my work, that the work did pay off, because you guys like it!

And that is good way to think of it, Ed always has alchemy (lol) or he can ask Winry to spare a hand to help (lol). Anywho right now I'm working on one with Roy, I'm going to try it again to try to get his head right, hopefully I will succeed (lol), this pic will be just him alone...Unless I come up with some other idea...And just so you guys know, I have fun out of making these too( if you all haven't noticed yet lol), even though I'm always saying, it takes up time(lol), but I do enjoy making them as well for everyone to see, I'll be back to show the pic soon, thanks again all

First off, very nice drawing. But one thing that I noticed that you didn't explain above was Ed's watch. That thing is made out of metal, so unless there's a super strong magnet nearby, I don't see how it can be horizontal like that, no matter how fast Ed is going. It would be too heavy to be pushed backward like, say, someone's hair.
Sorry, I'm a perfectionist and had to point this out.

lol I see what your saying, I just noticed that now I guess I must have thought it was actually like Edward's hair, since his hair is blowing back as that way too (lol)...And its alright with the perfectionist comment, I can be like that as well sometimes when I be doing these drawings myself, if something doesn't look too right to me (lol)...Anywho, I'll keep that in mind if I ever was to do another one close to Edward being in the wind (lol)...Thank you very much though for the comment, I'm glad you like the pic overall

Hi Ed-Al-Win Fan! Your drawings are ace! Better than mine, I just that in my opinion, the faces don't look right. You've mastered the bodies and you'll do well! I'd love to see a Rose/Lyra one if you need ideas!

Well let me say Hi Edward Of Shambala! And thanks a lot for the comment, I do appreciate that I draw the characters poses well to you, thats mostly the most challenging thing...But I just wanted to state on your opinion about the faces not looking right, could you tell me what it is you find wrong? I'm always willing to accept helpful information, just to get better...I never really drew anime as much as I did this year and late last year, so that could be a reason...Anyway I will keep in mind about the Lyra and Rose thing, I never drew Lyra before, so I guess I could try it on her...(lol) Thanks again for the comment overall, I do appreciate it...

EDIT Picture

Oh yeah forgot to add this picture in on this post(I remember that double post rule) I said I do on Roy. Uh it was still pretty hard getting his head right, but I tried my best on it, I think it looks better aligned from the last time I drew him (lol)...The background was also a test and of course pretty hard to do, I was looking at a wallpaper for reference (lol), I wanted to see if I could redo it in adobe and eh thats how it turned out, I still will try to work on some for other backgrounds on these pictures. I also didn't draw the background on paper, I had drew it out in paint shop pro, and my mouse was pretty hard to get the accurate straight lines, so it was even more harder trying to get the whole background, to look decent. Well I think thats about it, to comment on this one, unless you guys find something else odd (lol) I hope you like it though, overall

Roy

Oh right, yeah, your faces are a bit too close together and the noses are a tad long. Thats all, apart from that, great!

Oh okay, thanks for telling me:) I'll keep that in mind...And don't worry I'm going to try to think of a pic I could do with Lyra and Rose, thanks for the comment again, its very much appreciated along with everyone else:)

PS: On page 5 now on this topic post, cool (lol) Seems like the pages keep adding on...lol:)

You are amazing! Such talent.

More soon, please!

Thanks Insanefangirl, that comment is very much appreciated, glad to know I have a talent in this(lol)...Anywho Edward Of Shambala you said you wanted to see Rose and Lyra one, well I did one on them. But its a redo of a screenshot I took from off my computer. I wanted to see if I could do. I don't do to much of these, because when they are already drawn and seen on the TV, there's nothing too surprising about it. Thats why you guys be seeing all these pictures I draw of FMA chars in different areas and doing different things. But like I said, I just like to experiment with things. Its off episode 41 Holy Mother, where Ed was talking that time to Rose, and you can see Lyra's head and she look like she's looking off to the side at Rose. Lyra's head pose was very hard to do. I kept messing up on aligning her eyes right...And after fooling around enough times, I settle for this..The highlighting and coloring took awhile to do as well...But in my opinion overall of doing this...I still like it (lol)...Lyra's neck may look long, I didn't notice that until I lifted the paper upright...I hope you guys like it, atleast...

The Original Screenshot Of Rose & Lyra

My Version Of Rose & Lyra

PS: Now that I thought about it, thats not really Lyra in the inside...(lol)

They came out really good!!
I admire your usual method of building your own scene with your choice of pose, background, clothing, etc, but this time it was interesting to see how you'd do with the preset scene and characters.
I think you succeeded nicely.
Nice infusion of your own drawing style to the given pic. I can definitely see they are Rose and Lyra, but I can still see your signature drawing styles (which I like) in them.
Wonderful job!!

^________^!!!! I love it!!!!! Rose is hot, and Lyra, and Winry at that, the faces are rounder in yours but oh well, you conception! Anyways, I love the Lyra and Rose! Its your best art yet! Well done!

Thanks (could say this million times lol) for the comments, they are VERY much appreciated. Tombow I definitely appreciate the comment, because your saying I have my own style that you like, which is a very good thing to hear, because I'm glad to know I do and that you guys overall like it (lol)...My style always seems to pop in there, from the coloring and how they way they look, but I'm very glad you guys like it, because the hardwork I did on making it, was paid off (lol)

@Edward Of Shambala, thank you too very for much for the comment, and also giving the idea...And yeah most likely my drawings of FMA won't look exactly as the artist of FMA which is Hiromu Arakawa (and she has a very awesome style, and yet it its pretty hard to do lol), but I try. Anywho glad you all like it as well:)

Okay for the present time, I'm working on another pic with probably some tricky poses, but I'm going to try it. I haven't decided which FMA char, I'm going to add in these poses, but I will come up with one in due time. I don't have a pic to show, because I haven't worked on it quite yet, but when I do I'll make sure to post it up.

Oh and in the future since you guys like the redo I did of Rose and Lyra, I will do another one. The next one I want to try is this one of Ed, that is also from the Holy Mother Episode...
Edward
The reason I chosed that pic, was because I like the perspective of how Edward is looking out the window, and you can see the whole city or whatever (lol). It may take awhile to do, since it seems there is many things to draw (lol)...I never drew a pose like that before, so you guys can expect to see this one up soon too. Well as long as my college work don't get too much in the way...(lol) Anywho thanks again, I'll be back to post up more soon:)

Looking forward to your next fanart!!

Hi all, I'm back for a min, well I worked on two chars with different poses. And chosed Winry and Wrath for these poses. Um...I like to comment on first the Winry one, the pose from in the book had the girl eyes differently. So it kind of made Winry eyes a little different from how her eyes actually looks on the anime, which may in turn her not to look exactly as the Winry on the anime (lol), only thing that kind of gave it away was her hairdo. Unless you guys think differently that it looks like Winry, then thats a good thing (lol). Also I noticed, which I hate that it happen, was I drew her head a little too big, I draw face down on a drawing board and I didn't notice this until I lifted upright, but I didn't want to erase it either, because then it would have messed up the whole pic in my opinion. Now this pose I chosed for her, I thought it went well with her, because I noticed she is a mechanic, so she's supposed be strong-like, and in the book they made the muscle pump out really big, so I did the same with her. Overall though on this picture, I thought it turned out decent for my first time drawing that pose, the most hardest part was getting the flexing arm right...Oh and you don't have to worry about what I wrote on the side, it was just something to take up room (lol)...

PS: I designed her outfit, which may look like a scavenger hunt outfit kind of thing (lol), but I just was testing out colors...Another thing I like to add is I love how I did the highlights in Winry head (lol)...Anyways I hope you like this one though

Winry

Okay next one I did was on Wrath, this isn't supposed to be the calm Wrath, because I didn't think this pose fit for the calm Wrath, I gave it to the physco one, because it's kind of like a smug pose. It's another one of those indian style things I tried, Wrath is like the only person I can see sitting indian style, don't know why (lol). In my opinion it may not look exactly like him either, but once again the hair kind of gives it off. His outfit was something I got from in my mind, and I still kept Edward's arm on him, which was the hardest to draw as well, its kind of in a way that the hand is pointing outward. I tried on that one and also with his right leg on the side, it was pretty hard to get aligned...He may not look exactly evil, I think from the white shirt it made him look a little preppy like, but with his outfit I was trying to get a lot of dark colors for him. Okay I think covered every thing on that (lol)...The same goes for the lettering on the side in this picture, no need to pay attention to it, just taking up room (lol)

My main point wasn't so much on the faces, it now was more on getting the poses right. Its like another on of those 'Many Faces' kind of thing, that I did before, thats why the background so plain. I hope you like this one too...

Wrath

I'll be back, of course to post up more poses, that I'm going to try on some other chars...

Hello! I have a drawing to share too! But UNFORTUNATELY, it`s not Ed`s pic.. Maybe next time, I`ll post the pic of him that I have drawn..Okay, here it is! So, what do you guys think? (Hopefully it`s not that bad..) These are my own characters that I`ve made by myself..I mean, I create it by my own imagination..So, waddaya guys think?

@Ed-Al-Win Fan - Have I told you recently that I really admire your taking up new challenge each time with your artwork?? I really do!!
Two more difficult poses, and came out very nice, IMO.
I LOVE Winry's outfit!! It suits "pumped up" Winry very nicely, and the color goes well with her skin tone, and the hair color, I think.
Also, the shading and the highlights on Winry, on the hair, clothing, arms, and legs, etc., are wonderfully done!!
As usual, nice job!!

@KiorujiXeroxGurl - I'm glad you opened the thread for your fanarts!! Your drawing is very good, and looking forward to seeing more of your work!!
See you on your art thread!!

your pictures are so good !! ^^ keep it up!

Thanks a bunches guys for the comment! Tombow you know I definitely appreciate your comments! I'm glad you admire my challenges I do. I love to experiment on poses with drawings and of course different kinds of outfits (lol)..maidencross thanks a lot for the comment, I'm very glad you like them, its very much appreciated! KiorujiXeroxGurl thats very cute what you drew, keep up the good work, of course.

Well on to the present, lately I been sick and haven't been posting cause of it. I got the common cold, and it still alittle in me, but its starting to go away. My throat is still a bit sore and I sound hoarse a little. It seems like I'm always prone to getting colds , but luckily I feel a bit better now...And since when I draw I also draw with how I'm feeling....since I was feeling annoyed with being sick, I decided to draw Ed looking annoyed with him in this pose. It was pretty tricky, but I hope I got it down. From looking in the book, the char posing it eyes were slanted down, so I just made Ed's eyes pupil only show, like he's really annoyed. It was kind of fun making this picture, I even added a little saying on that side with the bubble. It look like Ed would say something like that, or atleast he look like he saying something like that (lol)...Well overall I hope you guys like it....

Edward < oh yeah he's referring to the philospher stone (lol)

And the next one I did was on Alphonse, um it was just a half picture, so his whole body won't be shown on this one. The pose he is in is called in the book, the "shy smile" pose...I think of Alphonse being innocent, so I thought that fitted him, this is also the look of him off the movie, you know I had a hard time getting his head right, but after fooling around enough, I gave up...(lol) Well I hope you guys like it, and I hope to be back soon with some more artwork on poses...(lol)

Alphonse

PS: maidencross I love your signature, three awesome chars are on it lol

WoW!! What a long tale!! Aww.. You're sick? Hope you get better soon enough!! *looking at your drawings..* (gasp!!) *fell from the chair* (DBOOMMMM!!!) Once again, W.O.W!!! That is an awesome pic you have done!! Oh, I like it SSOOO much!! It's SOOO KAWAIII!! I REALLY mean it!! Very(x5) NICE!! OoOoHHhh!! I really envy you.. Still have a LOT of determination eventhough you're sick!! Awww.. High five to you! Can't wait to see some more of it!! *rubbing head and butt.. (sweatdrops..)

[attachmentid=3866]

Hee. Winry looks like she's wearing a stylized version of the Nazi uniform.

Some C&C on Winry: Her eyes look a bit too far apart, don't you agree? o.o But overall, it's very nice. I like your clean, cartoony style.

@KiorujiXeroxGurl, thanks a lot for the ever so nice comment, its very appreciated! Yeah I have a tendency to write a tale everytime I post a pic (lol). And with me being sick, I'm surprised I still could do it and that it still looks nice to you all...I just have this cough, that is very annoying. But thanks alot on hoping I get 'well' again...I hope I do too, I want this cold to go away...badly....And Cool @that picture which is funny and interesting with showing someone falling down (lol)

@Ailuro, lol thats funny, now that I look over it does sort of look like some sort of soldier/army outfit, never thought about it...I think the stripes on the side arms kind of give it off...(lol) But of course thank you very much for the comment, I truly appreciate it as well....And I'll definitely keep in mind what you said about the eyes, its always these eyes I sort of have trouble with...But hopefully I start to improve on them, I'll try to work on not having them too close and too far apart , which that issue happens a lot on me lol...and and I'm glad you like my style along with rest of you who enjoy it!

I'm thinking of trying two pics on Izumi and Riza, with some poses I think that will try to fit them, I would have posted a pic on this post, but unfornately I don't have anything to show now (lol), but I'll be back soon to post more, thanks again all for the comment!

Whoa, somehow I didn't realize you had latest update!!
(I hope you're over with your icky cold!!)

Wow, those Ed and Alophinse pics are great!!
I think you got Ed's "I have a headach" look and Al's shy-smile nicely!!
Posing is wonderful, nice propotions, excellen shading and highlights, nice color scheme, and over all, it feels like your drawinging skilles are all coming together nicely, like quality of your works went up few more notches in the last couple of drawings!! They are really coming alive!!
Those Ed and Al drawings FEEL like Ed is actually sitting there, and Alphonse standing there with shy smile. Excellent job!!

Thanks Ed-Al-Win Fan, it was nothing really.. I can't wait to see those new cool drawings you're gonna make!! And I hope your cold will go away soon!! Hey, I'm gonna make somethin' for you! Hope it could make you better!! *start to make the Cold-Go-Away dance with a few recites* Cold go away! Cold go away! You're no good, coz you make EAWF (Ed-Al-Win Fan) sick! Go AWAY NOWW!! Lalalala!! The End! Okey, buh-bye!

I really love your art. And i hated how you got sick. But i have a few questions... So how do i get a picture on the side of my posts and how do i get a big one on the bottom?

I am the Only sister Elric- You should appriciate Tombow's hardwork on explaining to you about the answers you seek!

Aww :hugs everyone: I feel special to hear all this, @KiorujiXeroxGurl thanks ALOT for the very awesome get well drawing! And you know what? It really did work, because I'm beginning to feel much better now, the annoying cough is starting to go away...So must have helped out (lol) Thanks again very much, its a awesome drawing with the cheering people (lol) and it helped

@Tombow, very happy that you enjoyed those two drawings I did! You know thats very interesting to see they actually look like their coming to life, because you see in my Major it all about the drawings coming to life....So I was very happy to see that (lol), I mean hopefully one day I will be showing you guys some animation...Well when I get there, because I'm still very much a beginner...lol. I know the most known thing for being a animator is that they draw really fast. I seen something on TV with a animator, and the person would finish drawings in like 5 mins or something...Its amazing. But yeah I really appreciate the comment, and its good also see that my drawing style is improving or becoming stronger. And really with the anime people, I use to couldn't draw them at all. It would always turn out not right, but as always said practice makes perfect. So I just continue to practice on anime style, actually I try to practice on many drawings styles to get familiar with them. I think its helpful to learn many drawing styles...But thanks a bunches Tombow for the appreciated comment!:)

PS: Oh and about my updates, it seems like I tend post on any time or day (lol), you never really can know it seems, so its no problem

@I am the Only sister Elric, first off Welcome to the board! I believe your question has been answered by the helpful Tombow, I hope you enjoy it here, there is many nice helpful people here to help and get you through...Tombow being one of them (lol)...Also thank you VERY much for the very nice comment. I'm happy that you like my artwork. Its all for you guys enjoyment anyway...And yeah my fav thing on doing anime people is there hair, I l'ove' to highlight it...Don't know why...(lol) Anywho yeah I hated when I got sick as well, but I'm feeling much better now. So no worries on that... Thanks again for the comment!

Well now its time to show some artwork real quick, before I sign off and get ready for another day of hard college work (lol). Speaking of the drawings styles as I stated before. Have any of you guys heard of Finding Nemo(Thats a crazy question to ask...I'm pretty sure you guys have lol)...Unfornately this isn't FMA art, this is Disney art and as I like to call Disney style...I drew this awhile back, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to just show you guys it...I colored it with woodless color pencils. The drawing it out took two hours to do, but the coloring took a week to do. As you can see its filled with many colors (lol)

Nemo and Marlin (From Disney Finding Nemo Movie)

^I hope you all like that one though:)

Now the next one I want to show you guys is FMA, as I mention before I was working on a Izumi and Riza poses pics. Well I haven't finished any really yet. But I have sketched out Izumi, and I just wanted to show you guys this rough sketch I did on her...I also wanted to know you guys viewpoints on it, does the pose look decent? Hopefully it fits her, you know Izumi is a fighter so I had to find fighter pose for her...I have to finish this drawing, but I just wanted to ask you guys that question...I'm also trying to work on aligning her eyes, there so narrow...But I tried...lol

Izumi (Rough Sketch)

PS: Now you guys see how it looks before its actually colored, which Adobe CS coloring seem to bring it too life (lol)...

Well thats the end of my long speech, oh and before I go off I also like to know if you guys can actually see the pics. My known server hosting is down for my pics, so I had to find a whole new one...Sorry to be asking for so much, now that the cold is going away and seeing the comments, I feel much better (lol) I'll be back to post more art up soon, of course

@Ed-Al-Win Fan - It's so good to know your are beginning to feel better!!

Yap, I can see both pics.

And, I love your finding Nimo artwork!!
Yeah, notice I used the word "artwok", because that one really feels like art!!
I think your painstaking coloring paid off handsomely.
It's rich with colors withour flooding/saturating with colors, and came out beautifully.
It is almost strange, considering this is your interpretation of DISNEY anime, but this one, the style, color combinations, coloring and all, very much reminds me of Japanese Ukiyoe art!!
I like it very much!!

And, your Izumi Sketch already looks good!! Looking forward to seeing your final version!!

Yeah! Glad that you're feeling better Ed-Al-Win Fan!! I'm very happy for you!! WOW!! Your drawing is SSOOOO..... great, nice, great, nice, great, nice, GRICE... Ooopss!! Actually, it's excellently awesome! I love your Finding Nemo pic!! Especially the colours!! And I love your Izumi Sketch!! She looks wild!! Really I love them both so much! Okay, that's all for now! C ya!!

Wow, your art is amazing! I wish I could do something like that. Your drawings are also very good, you know how to use colour pencils. If I try to colour my sketches with colour pencils, I always mess up XD
Anyway, good job!!

Aww I feel soo happy when I see these comments! Always brings a good day!

@Tombow Very interesting, I never thought about it...But looking over it does, doesn't it? Its filled with many colors on the Nemo work...(lol) Thats cool too know! Yeah the coloring took awhile, but it must be worth it, because you guys like it! Thanks a bunches for the comments and answering the question (lol)

@KiorujiXeroxGurl Aww thank you! For the very nice comment, yeah I feel much better now, the cough is gone and good riddance...(lol) Grice? Thats a very interesting word, I think I'll start using it (lol) Anywho thanks for the comment, glad you like the sketch I did...You about to now see the final one (lol)

@Galorfilinde(Great! a new poster) Greetings!(BTW Love your signature!) First off thank you very much, I wish I could give you guys 'gifts' for the very nice comments you guys been giving me...instead of me just typing "thank you', it just seem so little...Oh its unfair! (lol)..But ya know what with the color pencils, it really depends on what kind of color pencils your using and the kind of quality they are...Like if I use crayola color pencils(Not that I'm sayin crayola sucks, they have excellent colors). It just that their quality isn't as strong as color pencils lets say as PRISMA color pencils, which are very expensive I heard around...I don't even have those color pencils, the kind of color pencils I used for the Find Nemo was woodless colour pencils...and they had cost like 15 dollers...but they were very good with shading...I colored one time with crayola color pencils on one of my drawings, and I kind of just messed up the whole pic. I kind of think crayola is more for just filling in colors, instead of just shading to get that kind of 2d effect or 3d effect...I don't think you can get a good effect of shading out of it...Well thats what I noticed when I compared the two of my artworks together one with crayola and one with woodless color pencils. Anyways, sorry for writing that long paragraph, I just type way too much (lol)...Anywho thank you VERY much for the comment. And don't worry just keep practicing, I'm still practicing on many things to get my artwork better, like poses and eyes...as you guys can see as I been showing you for the past days...and plus I been trying to get better in Adobe CS backgrounds..So I have many things to look over (lol)...But I definitely believe practice makes ya succeed!

And now thats leads me on to this Izumi one, I showed you guys the rough sketch before and this is the final one...First off let me comment on the right arm, I had just noticed I made it a little too long, but of looking over it...it doesn't look 'too' noticable. Also I added a sword in Izumi hand, now she looks like some sort of samurai, well in the pose they had the char holding one, so I decided I added in. I thought it would have looked weird with her hand in just mid-air, and just had to have something in it...Also another thing I was doing was messing around with the eyes again, I noticed in FMA, they don't outline their whole eye. So i tried it with Izumi eye, leaving half the outline out. I hope I didn't make that look weird...Was just trying out stuff...Well overall I think thats it, and I hope you guys like it

Izumi Curtis

Nice job!!
Izumi with sword is like, a powerful combination!!
But, your Izumi is also quite an exotic beauty!! Love it!!

Wow! I like your Izumi drawing! She looks great! But I imagined her as a pharoah with a sword ready to chop off sombedy's head off! Ughh!! SCARY!! But still it's a beautiful drawing! *still imagining the pharoah pic.. //sweatdrop..//*

Thank you, thank you ALL for the lovely comments...You know thats interesting reading the comments, that Izumi looks like an exotic beauty and pharoah...Cool! (lol) And yeah Tombow your right, a sword on a Izumi is a powerful combination, I mean afterall she is skilled fighter, she probably wouldn't hardly use the sword at all really (lol)...And@KiorujiXeroxGurl didn't mean to scare ya with this different side of Izumi I drew up it is really a difference on her(lol)...But anywho very glad you guys like it!

Um...I'm still working on the Riza pose(which is a VERY tricky one, well for myself lol). I have been in college the whole week with HW nonstop, so I can hardly get online as I want to... What a boredom...But on the good side, I did do this quick Rose pic, and by the way I did see Epi 49, which of course was very interesting, but this isnt the place to talk about that(lol). As I said before Rose is always soo sad, and I know she's been through things, so that kind of answers that...But then I thought it over, and I wanted to draw Rose happy again, which I drew her in the joyful pose(as said in the book)...The arms and hands were the most trickest, not too mention I was having a hard time finding a good wardrobe for her...But I settled with what I had, even though its kind of plained, not enough colors (lol)...Overall I hope you guys like it though...

PS: You know I looked back over the Rose one I drew before(With the Purple outfit on), to this recent Rose I drew...Looks sort of different...Thats pretty interesting (lol)

Rose

Awww, that is such a wonderful joyful Rose with a happy smile!! I totally love it!!
Rose in FMA anime is depicted as such a sad person with slouched back and sad eyes.
I know that's what the story calls for, but still, it's depressing to see.
This one is so joyous, and full of happy energy!! I like it very much!!!

Yes, I agree with Tombow! Rose does looks very happy here! Nice job!

Hey guys, I'm back, and off little from college work, thats has really been a pain ...Thank you guys for the wonderful comments, glad to see you guys love the Rose pic I made!...She really should smile more and, life is too short to be unhappy all the time And everytime I look at that pic it oddly makes me smile...Must be the expression(lol) Anywho I know I said something about a Riza pic I was working on, well that idea got delayed because something else came in mind and from looking at episode 50, it made me want to try it...

Now this artwork I'm about to show you guys is what I call a REAL challenge, because for the first time, I actually inked my drawings in illustrator...First off this drawing actually took me half of last weekend to do and this whole week...It would have probably been done much earlier, if I didn't have to go to class everyday...But since I did, I had to make some time for it while I could...Because I wanted to finish it and actually see if I could do a ink drawing...Now the character I chose to draw is someone you all may not like, well I don't like her either...But I really never really drew her, except unless you count the redo I did on Holy Mother...But this isn't Lyra who I drew, this is actually supposed to be Dante, even though we don't know how she really looks, I still just let her appearance be Lyra's, since she is in that body the longest we have seen...This also something very different from any drawing I ever done...I actually put my graphic skills to the test and did opacity designs in here...Like some of the poses I been showing with them having these expressions on my previous posts...I actually wanted to try it with Dante, so there is these like two expressions I added on with her...One sad and one angry...The sad expression took me forever to align when I drew it, so I can understand if that looks a edgy and the hair of Lyra is hard to get right, since its like a bobb, but I tried. Overall this is kind of like a name card of Dante...I also actually inked and redid this whole pic

Pic

Which believe it or not, it didn't take as long...I kind had thought it would, but it didn't...I used this pic for the background, because it kind of reminds me of Dante, since that is supposed to be her sanctuary(lol)...Just so you guys know everything is inked on the pic...I also made up Dante some kind of weird outfit, I don't know where it came from, but I also had kept her colors just adjusted them a little...And uh I think thats it on this pic, in my opinion of finishing this...I actually love everything about it, I really adore the redo background I did of ballroom I know you guys can't see the whole thing because of Dante heads and body blocking it, but I'll eventually show the whole thing to you guys, so you guys can see how the background looks as a whole...I actually didn't know I could pull something off like that to look decent...But I guess thats why we challenge ourselves to see what we really can do(lol)...I think I will eventually do more of these...Where I start drawing the chars, with backgrounds of places off the shows...Examples like Lior or Miltary area...I think it would be neat, and I'll be practicing on backgrounds, which I seriously try to get better in...Anywho enough of my blah blah . I just hope you guys feel the same way and like it as well

PS: I actually have a Illustration class where we're doing the same thing, so this is all just basically practice work in a way:)

Dante

That one is awsome!! I can see it was a bigger challenge, and took you more time than usual.
I see this one has more complex design, and I think it came out very nicely!!
I love the ballroom background!! You did awsome job!!
And, the opaque layers came out very nicely!! Those two expressions of Dante are awsome!!
Excellent facial expressions, and drawing came out very nice, IMO!!
And, nice job with Dante in the front!! Specially the highliting job on the hair!!
Excellent job!! I love it!!

GUHH!! WOOOOWWWWW!!! I'm speechless! I LOVE your classic and royal looking ballroom! They look so perfect!! Wow! You really have been working hard! It's absolutely wonderful!! There are no words for me to describe your drawing but only TOTALLY AWESOME!! OOhh!! I LOVE EM' ALL! Dante also looks beautiful! I really DO envy you.. But I say you're the best!

Wow! I love your artwork! It's really good. I wish I could my pictures likes this. Are you using a paint program on your computer to color your pictures? Just wondering cuz if you do it's really good. I'm poor and can't afford to get one of those computer art programs. I have to stick to markers and colored pencils.

Whoa! Didn't know I was going to get these 'good' comments from doing this ink thing...At first I thought you guys were going to be like..."Oh I like the other style better" lol...Well that is excellent news, to hear you guys like the inking along with me...Once again thank you Tombow, KiorujiXeroxGurl and new poster Anime-Kat2002! This is going to be a LONG post, I can already see it coming (lol)

You guys really made me happy to see your reponses on it ...I was hoping my inking had got better, because I had been practicing it the whole week when I was in the Illustration class. Anywho...

Tombow, yeah this one definitely was very complex, it took a little longer then my usual ones...But when doing it, I felt that it was worth it, because you guys like it!...I so adore the background too, I still can't even believe I did it...But it prove to me it was possible, but I am happy that you like the new effect I added to my drawings!

KiorujiXeroxGurl Aww, I really really really(can say this thousand times really! lol) appreciate that you like the Dante pic! That really made me feel happy to hear you think I'm really good...Well I try to show you guys other things that I can do...Like the Opaque layers I did on Dante expressions, well I got that idea from the web designing class I had to take when I was like in 12th grade...I also studied that as well...I'm the type of person that loves to experiment with new things...So alot of my drawings will start to look different and even probably progress if you guys noticed (lol). But I am very happy you loved it, brought a smile to my face (lol)

And new poster Anime-Kat2002, thank you SOOO very much! I really appreciate the comment and believe me I really do, from all of you actually (lol)...And to answer your question, I am poor myself ...I use to use two paint programs but now I use three, since I started this inking biz. I use Adobe Photoshop CS for the coloring and highlighting, and I use Adobe CS Illustrator for the inking, which I also had to download this program for my Illustration class or I would have just failed the class...(lol). Unfornately these two programs are not really officially mine, I'm under a 30 day free trial on these...I can't afford them either, well not now (lol), but just buying those two I would have to end up paying close to 200 dollars or maybe even more, the programs are expensive...But Adobe is like one of the best programs too, and they do make the coloring and highlighting more better. I wish I really did have them...And once the trial is up, I just go to download it again under a free trial, if I like to use them again....Its a heavyload, but then again if you think about it, you will atleast have it for a month to use it...You could do that if you like, just to test it out...The next program I use which is actually mine, is Paint Shop Pro 7, I got this program a while back for a christmas gift and its use to clean up lines or any other dots on the drawings I done, I also use this program to make my graphics as you guys see on my signature (Very helpful for that lol)...So thats basically it, I know its alot that I do, but in the end it must be worth it, because you guys like it!...But even using color pencils and markers are good to use and acutally more easier. But I do however understand where your coming from that these programs are way expensive, hopefully one day I will win the lottery ...But thank you again soo much I'm very pleased that you like it!

Oh and I remember on the previous post that I was going to show you guys the FULL background of the ballroom I did with Dante, well here it is...But let me warn you, it is pretty sloppy with the paint lines...The whole idea was just to test and slick paint any kind of way to see if I could actually make a ballroom...Since you guys liked the background, I thought maybe you want to see this...Will just say this is my version of the background. Mine is more narrow then the actual picture of the ballroom, because I had to squeeze the background in.

My Ballroom Background Version

^ Nothing on the ballroom was exactly meant to be detailed, it was more meant to be just a blur background, so thats why it kind of looks dreamy like (lol)
---

Now on to the drawing I have been working on long enough...Here goes another inking one and I did it on Ed again and actually his younger self...I always wanted to do a picture with Ed and his younger self...And now I finally succeeded to it...The background I once again redid from this screenshot.

The Elrics House Pic

If you notice or you may not notice is Trisha is in the back, but I took her out in the pic I redid, it was no use of her being there anyway, because she would have got blocked off eventually...Once again I had to also narrow the background, so the official background of the house may look more wider, but I had to resize it to fit it in. But enough blah talk, because I talked enough (lol)...Here is the final picture,

Older & Younger Ed Together

And just in case if you guys like to see the background more better, I did them separately as well...

Younger Ed

Older Ed

PS: Yeah Ed doesn't have automail...I decided to bless him with two flesh arms ...Well anywho I hope you guys like it...I meant to post this much sooner, but I was having computer issues (lol)

Ohh, I love the idea of older Ed and younger Ed together!!
They came out nicely distinguished as younger and older versions of Ed!!
And, that younger Ed is sooo irrigistablly cute!!
I get the urge to squeese him!!
Also, nice idea of slightly varying the arm poses!! Showing young Ed's independent spirit by not making him take exactly the same pose as the older Ed!!

Oh, and I love the ballroom painting!!

OMG, yay Rose! I think I have a crush on her! :3

That house pic is freakin sweet

Thoes are VERY nice pictures! I wish I knew how to do that.^^

Wow, your art is so beautiful! I've been away for some time, I was busy with school. Back to the color pencils thing: I didn't know that the kind of color pencils were so important ^^
At first I thought the pic of dante were just 3 original pics blended together, but then I read the whole story around it. I really love the Dante one! The different expressions came out very good. And the pic with older and younger Ed is awesome, too! Keep up the great work!
