It's done, it's done~ Yay! .........thank god .

This is the first time that I've drawn and toned a 2 page comic digitally at the same time.....and it'll probably be the last.
Plus there are probably tons of mistakes in it that I'll notice later on. Eeeh, oh well, enjoy.

*cough* Anyway, I was watching the cut scenes of the first two Fullmetal games with my sister when I mentioned to her in amusement how Al and Armstrong are shoulder to shoulder when they walk, my sister laughed at that and for some strange reason she was reminded of a running gag in an Anime/manga called Lovely Complex that she loves, thus spawning this idea...anybody who's familiar with Lovely Complex will know what I'm talking about.

I think that Arakawa made something similar to this, can any of you remember?

But believe me, this was purely the creation of my sister's overactive imagination. Yup, she's insane.

Took me two weeks on and off.

Isn't there something like this at the beginning of the manga? But with Mustang and Al holding Ed? (I never got that joke, anyway o_o)

Thank you so much!

Aw come now, it's not all that good.

Yeah, both Al and Roy are wearing trench coats and have Ed by the arms and it reads something like "The alchemist has been apprehended".
I'm not sure if I get it either but I think it has something to do with a certain movie Arakawa saw or maybe it was just for laughs.

woa it's really great!
I like the panel-composition, and the grey tones you put over Al - they make it so much more believerble!
And the humors good so far (I am familiar with the complex)

Nogojo In reply to vonPipkin [2008-12-11 13:27:39 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!
At first I didn't think it would turn out so well and I was hoping the humor would be understood.

Thank you, you wouldn't believe how long it took me to draw Al. I never hated armor until I started drawing him!

Woah! When I saw this I thought it was a page from the manga. Great job~ Al especially turned out well.

Nogojo In reply to Teh-Stripe [2008-10-16 01:24:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, my sister said the same thing to me.
And Al turned out better than I thought he would, he was giving me a hard time....can you guess who was the hardest to draw?

Teh-Stripe In reply to Nogojo [2008-10-16 01:31:40 +0000 UTC]

I would guess Al. xD But I can't imagine Armstrong would be too simple, either.

Nogojo In reply to Teh-Stripe [2008-10-16 01:38:04 +0000 UTC]

Well, you're about Al being hard but the hardest was Armstrong, the easiest part of him is his head! His body kept looking weird every time I drew it, but as you can see in the end I finally got it right...my hand is still killing me though...

Thank you!

I spent many a sleepless night working on it...you'd think it wouldn't have been that hard, oh well....I still love how it turned out! Panal 4 is my favourite too!

XD I remember how Arakawa-sama made something like this, but I don't know what a "Lovely Complex" is... Explain please?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Nogojo In reply to XStormXAlchemistX [2008-10-15 23:40:09 +0000 UTC]

Oh, you remembered.

Umm Lovely Complex is a shojo manga about an abnormally tall girl called Risa Koizumi and an unusually short boy named Atsushi ootani.
Because of this, they are called the "All Hanshin Kyojin" after a popular comedy duo that has a similar height difference, and they both dislike being called that tremendously.

It's a really funny and nice story, you should take a look at it, unless you're not into that kinda thing...there is also an anime for it.
