Description
Well, I've finished the last episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" yesterday. A-and I've broken my own taboo - made a fanart piece %). It is a very quick sketch, done roughly - but I couldn't refrain from doing that
Sometimes I feel a big desire to draw anime characters in a more "realistic" way - it's a kind of investigation for me: how would they look if they were real human (a boy of 15 in this case). But when you start making their eyes smaller and their faces more natural, they usually stop being recognisable %). So - you have to find a balance between anime-ness and real-ness. I am usually not satisfied with my own results, but I enjoy the process very much.
Done with watercolour.
Characters (c) Hiromu Arakawa.

I think the eyes are my favorite part; I don't know how you did it, but they seem to shine!^^

I don't know FMA, anyway I like your interpretation ^^
It's interesting and funny to draw more realistic these anime and manga characters, and I agree with you, when a character is not very well featured it's hard to describe in realistic style
...why the robot(?) behind seems so much to me to a robo-Kisame? XDDDD

Not exactly the robot (actually, the empty armour to which a human soul was attached), but - LOL!! Those teeeeeth are really shark-like %))
The thing that I liked in FMA most is a strong bond of love between brothers, soooo... I guess you may probably like it also %)

Он здесь похож на себя из мувика. глаза очень хороши - пронзительные такие, но в то же время смотрящие куда-то сквозь тебя, в свое прекрасное далеко. фанатик, блин.
очень любила в свое время их, да.

Ёлки, я вторые сутки не могу посмотреть мувик по техническим причинам! Уже озверела вся от любопытства %)
Глаза вдаль - хмм, ну, это я вчера, видимо, на порыве патетических чуйств наваяла, и немного сильновато их развела
Спасибо!

ммм, а что за причины? кодеки?

помоему, глазки в порядке. ведь исходя из канонов, между глазками должно быть столько места, чтобы туда вписался третий ^^

Теперь субтитры не подгружаются %(
Блин, это уже какое-то нечеловеческое искушение - картинка есть, но текст непонятен %(((

Very nice - I really must watch FMA sometime
And yeah, it's always fun to try and imagine anime people's 'real' appearance, isn't it? Fun but very difficult
I love your watercolours ...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it's REALY fun!!
Thank you.
And - yes, FMA worth watching, to my mind. Though, I disapproved some things there (mainly some philosophical ideas), I really enjoyed watching it!
