Description Wow. I'm in love.

Anyway. This was partially inspired by the little world in my head where the brothers never tried to bring their mother back, and they grew up all happy. And Al's taller. You'd think it anyway, right? The other part was inspired by this section of the manga:

Pinako: "It's almost as if you're his parent, Al."
Al: "It's true. It's not easy having such a high-maintenance older brother."
Winry: "I can hardly tell which one of you is the older brother."

Yeah. XD I obsess over little things. I just imagine Ed as being someone so busy with all the big things in life that he forgets the little but still important things. In that way I guess he's like me. Damn. But also it's just cute to have Al remind him to do simple things.

I wrote too much. But I really like this. I tried some new things with coloring. And it took a lot longer. But I think it looks nice.

Originally Al was smiling more.. somewhere along the way, I think he started to suspect his brother was up to something. ...Or maybe my pen just slipped. Whatever.

Only Al could tell him to do those things without uncerimoniously being dumped in a garbage truck.

The chibi ed's expression does very well with keeping to the manga. Great picture. Poor Ed is so short...

I looked at this and was all "Al looks like he's figured out that Ed dumped his milk in the potted plant again." Man thats awsome. Like others before me have said I like the shading and the expressions that match the brothers personality so well. I'm going to go stalk you now!! -cackles-

That is so cute. Yeah, I love FMA too, my friend got me to watch all 50 episodes. Very sad, but I was in love with all the characters. Beautiful designs, and the way their stories wound together was wonderful. No one was forgotten.

I even liked Scar in the end. Scar and even the homunculi are interesting in the end. I didn't like Dante or the ebil dude in the end.

XD Aww, simply adorkable. n_n Kodak moment! The little chibis at the bottom are so funny. Reminds me of me with my big sister actually... though considering she's six years older than me I think she had every right to treat me like a kid growing up. (Actually people still do, to tell the truth...) I'm way shorter than she is though X3

So cuteee~

Cori....This picture makes me realise that they are really quite alot like me + my younger Sister! XD I have blonde hair + She has brown. She's like a foot taller than me + only a year younger. (not really, it's more like 4 inch) + i am the silly one...+ she thinks i'm weird!.....the only thing is, i am the bossier one too. so that's the difference. still, Ed can be bossy when we wants to be. Haha. anyway. really cute picture. i like edo.

frank-d In reply to corilefay [2005-11-18 00:57:12 +0000 UTC]

LoL it's not bad! I have lots of sketches I did back in the day of like...Meruru from Escaflowne and Utena that were direct copies. But you know...in art class we virtually do the same thing. It helps to learn how to draw what we see. Plus you can see your own style IN this as well as how the original's supposed to look

XD Wow. I sound like a pro. I'm really just a hack XD

tiamat-atardecer [2005-11-17 03:22:02 +0000 UTC]

=3 You did add color. Hey, it's good to try new things, it looks good .
And I love the part on the bottom XD. Yay, Al acts sometimes like the older brother 'cause it would be a mess if both were reckless o_o and it wouldn't be fun...or who knows!!
Sometimes little things are great, like Mei Chan imagining Ed as a super TALL top model *LOL*. Or that Ed do like cheese but not milk (I understand that 'cause I love grapes, but not raisins <--that's weird, I know) or when Barry The Chopper fell in love with Riza because she wasn't afraid of him, that was cute (in a very bizarre way.) <--- Sorry about the silly and unnecessary comments.
I only wanted to say that your drawing looks good and that YES Ed must be up to something .

I actually hate milk too, which is funny. XD
