Prismacolor Pens on 11"x14" bristol. September 19, 2008.
Fanart for the series “Fullmetal Alchemist,” featuring Edward Elric and Envy. If you hadn't guessed, the title is composed of three synonyms for "envy." I thought it was appropriate for the way Envy seemed to be "coveting" Ed and his arm, to be perfectly vagarious. Initially, I had intended to name this piece "Human Sacrifice" because Ed is constantly referred to as such in the anime series and manga, but felt that this specific piece lacked a certain element that that title would amplify. I'm not sure what the element would be, but it was definitely not present in this piece, hence the name change. So, this piece is more of an experiment with pen technique, since I've been so focused on marker for fan art, lately, and graphite and charcoal for classes. I definitely needed the practice with the pen and am moderately pleased with the outcome. This was also an attempt at new positions of the body. I attempted a view from more or less below the figures. It's not very clear, and I need to study the forms more, but the viewer's perspective is supposed to be almost or nearly below Ed's chest with Envy towering above. The lack of background also makes this difficult to discern. So, a fairly bloody, aggressive piece, heightened by the sketchy, assertive line markings and use of diagnals, I'd say this is a nice "sketch" but probably not near the level of "drawing" that any of my professors would classify as adequate of that designation. Alas. But it was fun! And the value scale is thoroughly represented, and I believe fairly well balanced. Any concerns with anatomy or perspective or whatnot, please send me a comment. And yes, Ed's left arm is far too long. A mistake I did not catch in time...  "Hagane no Renkinjutsushi" (Fullmetal Alchemist) is a manga by Hiromu Arakawa and anime directed by Seiji Mizushima, at the studio Bones; I do not own any part of the series or manga, including any of the characters or concepts portrayed. Comments and criticisms greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

Who are you callen a pipsqueak midget that cant go to the beach, because he's so small he'd sink into the sand, and when the tide comes in, he doesn't even seem worried drowning because he's so microscopic he can breath oxygen out of the stupid water
You should defintely draw someone (even a self portrait) clobbering Envy. He'd definitely deserve it! And I think it would be an awesome piece! Seeing Envy go down would just make anyone's day. Except for Envy, of course!

You seem to be very creative when it comes to the composition and layout, plus you always use some fun perspective.
I don't know much about FMA but this drawing here is practically telling me to go and watch it NOW. ;D

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
