Description
I know this is very early and has little to do with Valentine's Day, but I guess this will be my entry for the Valentine's Day contest at . I hope I won't be the only entrant...
I started this as a quick sketch of two random characters, but since I was about to have withdrawal symptoms from not drawing Roy and/or Riza for months, they somehow turned out to be Roy and Riza.
I kinda based the poses on another drawing at first. I scanned it, inked it digitally (I normally NEVER ink, cuz I suck at it...), then spent hours going back to everything and making lots of small changes. 
There are a lot of things I dislike on this. I absolutely hate the way Roy's face came out. I attempted some soft colouring style with light colours and lots of white highlights and I don't really like the way it turned out...
Oh well, I hope not everyone is as picky as me.
Pencil sketch wacomed in Photoshop CS 2, no idea about the time taken
PS: Sorry about the lame title. I originally had a much better one, but
wouldn't let me type it, cuz it was too long.

No thanks is necessary! xDD I support the pairing... too bad it didn't go further in the manga, but I'm still pleased.

I really like their expressions! Roy is sort of lovey-dovey and Riza is just a little bit weirded out, sort of: "The what did he just say?"
Really sweet!

Wait, is this mangaverse? Roy's face shape is in between the two, but Hawkeye's shirt is black in the anime and brown in the manga.

Does it matter?
You mean black in the manga and brown in the anime, no?

You can't adjust your monitor? 0.o

Duh, of course I can! But it stays dark no matter how I adjust it! I tried adjusting it many times, cuz I can't colour dark things decently in Photoshop, but it doesn't get much better.

Sounds terrible. ;(
I would say just buy a new one... but I understand people just don't have money. T.T My family is sort of the neighborhood charity case. 0.o People put their old clothes in our cars and leave 'em for us to find.

Yeah, well, monitors (and electronic stuff in general) are kinda expensive here...

Yes, I get it. x3 Same here.
Although we do have a car. We need it to make a living.
