Description Well, maybe not so much a collab as me asking to color the pretty picture, but you get the idea. ^^

The original art was done by ~OJaganshi , and you can see it here: [link] It's lovely, go look and fangirl her madly. XD

I absolutely adore how this turned out, and it will live on my desktop until the END OF TIME. Yay for Roy/Ed!

Nice coloring and shading
I can't even touch Photoshop or OC myself, as the trial versions alone freaked out my technologically impaired brain O-O;;

Thanks!

Mostly, I just attacked every photoshop tutorial I could find and pieced things together from there. XD

Pooh, the tutorials confuse me even though I follow through with it. Maybe I'm just not putting in enough effort?
Ahem, so, ever thought of making a tutorial yourself?

Yeah, they can do that. I've had photoshop for, oh...four years or so, but I've only within the last year or so managed to find my happy place with it, at least in regards to cell-style coloring.

Actually, yes! I was in the middle of one that never quite got finished. Maybe I should do that. XD

I think all of us would like to trade places with Ed. Or Roy for that matter. @_@

Sexy back? *snort* More like Big Ass.

LOL. I'm an Ed fangirl, but his ass is a bit too big for a guy's in this pic. Oh, but then again I guess the point of the picture is to make Ed look like a female.

Good colouring though.

I kinda like it that way... because I'm big on D/s. Plus, look at his position. The skinniest little ten-year-old boy would do a little popping if he was resting in that position. xD

Oh, and one more thing. I think the butt probably looks bigger than it would if the pants were taken off. I mean, look how baggy they are!

I'm just saying... Lalala.

Anyway, beautiful coloring Arathe, and the picture itself is so gorgeous.

Vive la RoyEd! xDD

I've seen the original for this and when I saw you had the coloured version in your gallery, I was like "Porqua? o__o"

Great job on the colours, babe! Ed's hair is a particular draw. *pets it* Very nice. :3

*has just figured out how to devWatch and adds you to list* I'm watching you, Arathe. O-O

Arathe In reply to Lina-kun [2007-02-23 18:04:40 +0000 UTC]

Conversion is so neglected. *headdesk* Mostly I've just been screwing off, playing video games, and doing absolutely nothing of any value or importance. I'm going to try and drag myself outta my hole today and get back to work, because I really need to get back on track, starting with an update!

. . . If I made you some Conversion fanart, would that help? Just pick something!

Maaaaaybe. >.>

If nothing else, it would shame me into getting it done, hehe. I was going to ask for something in the Ed the man vs Ed the cat scene, but someone else already read my mind and sent me one today, sooo....how about something with Ed and Al?

*gets back to work*

Lina-kun In reply to Arathe [2007-02-25 00:23:45 +0000 UTC]

XD Okay. I'm doing some BLTA art right now, but I'll do your Ed & Al one right after that.

Arathe In reply to Lina-kun [2007-02-25 01:28:10 +0000 UTC]

Woots!

Well, my husband just sat me down for a nice long talk about how I try to do way too many creative projects all at once, and why that's probably the reason I'm not getting anything done. Then he told me that I'm not allowed to do anything creative but write for the next month. >.>

So, I imagine I should manage to pump out at least a couple of chapters, hehe. Sometimes it takes someone else to give you a kick in the pants.

Wow.. I really need to take more time when I color like this.. lol, I guess i just try and rush too much and thats why it doesnt come out like it..
It's awsome.. ^_^ go you!

Arathe In reply to Yukiko-chan [2007-01-27 05:37:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, I probably spent at least 6-8 hours on this just cleaning up the lineart and coloring it. It did come out really nice though. *worships pen tool*

Yukiko-chan In reply to Arathe [2007-01-27 13:16:37 +0000 UTC]

6-8hrs on one drawing.. ^_^ if I wasnt doing Nendaiki i'd have that much time!
lol!
I just did a drawing last night.. not colored or inked yet.. not sure if i will.. but i finally just did a drawing because i had the inspiration to do it.. I cant wait to color something my usual way (aka: not the way I've colored Nendaiki the two times i've put up colored strips)... I like the way things look when i do.
But then again, I have always prefered myself doing that way do doing color this way *points at your drawing* because as cool as other people make it look.. i'm not to thrilled with how it looks when _I_ do it.. So I think I may just stick with what makes me happy.. LOL

Arathe In reply to Yukiko-chan [2007-01-27 16:26:51 +0000 UTC]

Yep! That's the best way to go. Do what works for you! ^^ Cell-shading can be a difficult style to manange, mostly because the shadows are so precise, so if they don't look right, it's obvious. XD

The best I can do in Photoshop is make logos and stuff for schoolwork; my shiny Ishida and a Zoofic icon.

Nothing like that.

Arathe In reply to Grassangel [2007-01-27 02:41:49 +0000 UTC]

Really? It's actually very easy, and mostly involves making good use of the pen tool. Maybe I'll put together a tutorial...not many people watch me, and my method is really only good for cell shading, but I have gotten a few comments on my coloring. Hm.

Grassangel In reply to Arathe [2007-01-27 08:04:49 +0000 UTC]

Please do? I'm stuck either taking ages and use pen tool for everything or have nasty little gaps left it my work.

Alrighty then! Will do.

I've got several pictures I'm going to have to color in a bit here, so it shouldn't be too hard to throw together a tut while I'm at it. ^^
