Description ....to lose.

It's done, yay!
This is my entry for 's FMA contest, I've never entered in any sort of contest before so I figured it's about time I tried....boy am I nervous.
There's probably a bunch of mistakes so I can't imagine even getting third place, still I'm hopeful.

This piece took me about a month and some to finish on and off, that's the longest it's ever taken me to finish a picture so it's like a record for me.

It's also the largest I ever made so I scaled the image down to size, hit download to see a bigger version. DO IT.

The gears for the background came from here:[link]
And the Roman Numerals came from here:[link]

Wow, this is awesome! You really captured each character in Arakawa's style--plus the time theme was a pretty cool idea. ^^ Nicely done!!

Wow. After starting at the picture for 15 minutes, I realized why Scar is having a stare-down with the roman numeral for 10. X3

10 = X = Scar's...err...scar

Great work!

Apparently he and that X have a score to settle.

Thank you very much!

Hahah. Scar is my favorite character, well..second to Roy. I just noticed. I also noticed the fact that Hohenheim has a grandfather clock.

Wow awesome! I love the idea of this pic, its so creative and original, dunno how the contest went but I really hope you won... something


Roy looks soooo cool on top of a clock with that outfit, You should make a wallpaper or something with him like that... I'll go now before I start drooling again X3

I wasn't in the top three but I did get a month subscription which was sweet while it lasted.

Believe it or not I had to do alot of adjustments to him just so he'd look decent.
I was thinking about doing something like that. Thanks for stopping by!

OMG!!!! This is wonderful!! And most of favourite characters are there!!!! It's really well doen, the flying numbers are awsome. I'd be trying to catch them!

It's also interesting how despite their closeness all the characters seem to be ignoring each other. Ed looks bored too, it's such a cute face!!

Wonderful work! Really terific adn intriguing.

Thank you very much!
I did my best with this picture and I'm happy that others like it so much.
I'd probably try to catch one of the numbers too.

Well, even though they aren't paying attention to one another it's not like they're not completely unaware of each other. They each have their own things to think about.

You think his face is cute? Thank you!
I'm glad you think it's good!

It's a really impressive work! I wish I could do something this good!

Yea, *uses a fishing net to try adn capture one of the flying numbers*

Yea, private reflection time in the freaky land of clocks. It must be a nice place to think, very peaceful and undisturbed. You know the whole thing seems to be very pensive and thoughtfull...... very reflective.

Orange-Singer [2009-02-13 00:27:25 +0000 UTC]

This is incredible. Amazing concept! I always imagined Roy as being shorter than Hoenheim (I think of him as not one of the tallest men), but I guess none of us really know. Fav!

Nogojo In reply to Orange-Singer [2009-02-13 10:32:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
Well actually Roy is shorter, he and Hohenheim aren't on the same plain, Hohenheim is farther back so it makes it look as though Roy is as tall as he is.
Roy is indeed shorter than other men....well except for Fuery.

AsjJohnson [2009-02-04 00:48:45 +0000 UTC]

How did you do the wood? I can't seem to get the texture right when I do wood. >_< ... I suppose I should practice and experiment more... and perhaps quit blurring when I don't think it looks right because that probably makes it worse (seeing that that clock definitely doesn't look blurred. ^_^" ).

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Nogojo In reply to AsjJohnson [2009-02-05 10:49:13 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, it took me awhile to get the texture right. In the end I used an image of wood I've had for awhile and alot of cropping was done to get to look proper.

Nogojo In reply to Purplefire40 [2009-01-31 20:26:28 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!
I had wanted the time on the clocks to represent each of them, Hohenheim for instance, him standing on the Grandfather clock represents how long he has been around and how little time he has left...at least that's how I see it.

I'm very happy that you like it so much!

I really like the Grandfather clock symbolism and I can perfectly see it that way.
