Description
A colored version of the original picture.
For the Risembool Ranger "Crown of Flowers" contest. The contest has you drawn one of Vic Mignogna's characters with a crown of flowers in their hair to symbolize something.

I'll explain it if it doesn't make sense (part of understanding this requires that you are familiar with the FMA series) but, please take a moment to just look at the picture and try to analyze it. Please, I implore you. A lot of thought went into this. Since this isn't colored, I will tell you that on Ed's head is a crown of honeysuckle (devoted affection), and in his lap is a pile of white roses (virtue). In Father's hair are daffodils (uncertainty). Ed is naked, as well, and either asleep or unconscious. With that, I ask that you try to understand the symbology of this picture.

Have you thought about it?

When Father is brought before the Truth after thousands of years of planning, he asks the Truth what was wrong. The Truth replies, "You didn't believe in yourself." He never did.

Uncertainty.

Ed started off on his journey to fix his brother, who lost his body trying to revive their mother. One of the greatest motivators for Ed to search for the Philosopher's Stone is his love for his brother and desire to return him to his nature state. It carries him throughout the series (among a few other things) and despite all the roadblocks, he maintains his promise to his brother to never stop trying to return him to his body. In the picture, Edward appear to be unconscious or asleep (you can decide), and Father is lifting the crown of honeysuckle off his head, taking away that which Ed was devoted to.

At the end of the series, Al sacrifices himself to help Ed, and is in a way dead. With him gone, all that's left is Ed and an approaching Father determined to kill him. Instead of breaking down in grief and thinking that all is lost, Ed gets back up on his feet and destroys Father. Once the fight is over, he makes the ultimate decision to sacrifice his alchemy to save his brother and bring him back to life.

Nakedness, while not prevalent in many modern paintings, can mean several things. For those who are uncomfortable with themselves, being naked can be a sign of bashfulness or insecruity. For other who are confident, being able to stand their ground naked or not doesn't bother them, and can be a symbol of empowerment.

Devotion.

Virtue.

Powerful.

Father and Edward Elric are not my characters.
