Description Okay! Time for a second episode of my Fullmetal Alchemist Edward x Winry comic!

This time, the story takes place after the last scene of the manga/FMAB anime.
Yes.I'm.doing.grownup.edwin.
If you know me, you know what that means.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you just jumped in, I want to warn you that I'll be referring to the first comic somewhere in the next pages. You might want to read it here: [link]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I decided to go for another style for this comic. Please let me know if you like it or if you have any suggestions. I'm still working on the next pages so it's never to late to adapt!

I've been tinkering a bit in Manga Studio This is my first time ever trying this application, so I hope you'll see the pages evolve when I get more exercise. My first impression of the program is that it has a lot of nice and quick features, but I miss some stuff as well, like the pen pressure and magnetic lasso in photoshop.

I decided to go with inked pages and manga studio because:
1) I suck at inking, it really looks much better here but for some reason it doesn't go on monitors the way it should be. So this is meant as an exercise.
2) I work on A3 format to increase detail and exercise panels and proportions. With pencil, I always succeed in detail, but in markers (even with a 0,05mm one!) I fail.
3) I suck at making text balloons in photoshop >_<
4) I wanted to do some extra shading the manga-way (that takes less work theheheee)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, comic is to be read left to right. Sorry manga-addicts, I grew up on european comics and it's a reflex to make them this way! I'm also calling this a comic and not a manga because although I put a lot of the manga techniques in it, I don't see my own drawings as manga figures.

It's only one page, you have no idea what's going to happen ^^
But - it's EdWin - so... I guess you'll like it

Oh, definitely! And I've seen enough of your work to know I probably won't be disappointed.

Yeah!!!

BTW, I've finished a piece that I really think you'd like - since you draw similar stuff. I can't post it till February, but if you need any 'inspiration' for your next piece...

Can't be helped - it's for a challenge that doesn't get published until Feb - so I can't post it publicly...

I'm so excited to see this! I always look forward to your manga work!

I hope you're having a better time using Manga Studio than I did--I couldn't figure out how to use it, so I finally gave up.

It was really frustrating at the beginning, and I don't try to do complicated things now. Maybe in time I'll find the cool stuff but now I'm just happy I can draw text balloons fast and clean ^^'

I already have the next 4 pages in lineart, so there will be more soon
