Description ...is the only thing that makes sense.

Ed-lion! 8D It's been a while, hehe.

This is another old sketch I've had lying around for some time, but I decided to finish it because I wanted to try a new shading method. I've not been happy with my shading style for some time now, so I'm looking to find a style I'll be comfortable with. This one might be it, I dunno.

Ignore ze fail background. I got lazy

Anyway, sorry for spamming TLK-style recently, I'll come up with some more decent stuff soon enough

Also, does anyone know of a good tutorial for how to draw realism? I'm trying to work out how to draw things without the cartoony kind of lineart. But it's so hard

ooh, I love this! I love your Ed-lion... *sigh* And I like the perspective and moody coloring here. A bit of a different style of coloring for you, yes?

Thank you so much! ^^ And yeah, it's a bit of a different colouring style - like I said in the description I've been trying to find a shading style that I'll feel happy with, since recently I've been very unhappy with it. This one might work. We'll see if I stick to it xP

ooooo I love the angle you've drawn this cause I know that is really hard as for tutorials for realism those are hard to come by for lions, I'll help look though ^.^ I like the details and the shading too =3 the background is nice also =3

EffraSorbus In reply to Krazoa-Kescime [2010-09-14 16:24:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I used a 3D model for the perspective though, because otherwise this would have been too difficult xP

And I don't mean realism tutorials just for lions, I mean realism in general - I want to learn how to do it I'd be really grateful if you could show me if you come across something! ^__^

Yay, thank you so much! It makes me very happy to hear that

And yes, I did. And shed a few tears *sniff* I couldn't ask for a better ending though - I really, really loved it ^^

You're welcome dear Your drawings deserve it *o*

Aa~~hh, it was an awesome happy ending! <3 And all the characters got what they wanted. I really don't understand people who still argue that the end of the first series was better and the manga ending sucks. >_<
And did you hear about a new gaiden from Arakawa? It's really adorable You can download it there: [link]

EffraSorbus In reply to Mistrel-Fox [2010-09-19 11:17:20 +0000 UTC]

I couldn't understand why people aruge that the original anime ending is better either. The one thing I was very unhappy with about the original anime was the ending o.- I love these characters, I wanted a happy ending for them all and finally that's what I got. Couldn't be happier about that (Not to mention that the manga's storyline was at least ten times better overall )

Oh, and thank you so much for the download! I had no idea about that gaiden, but I'm very happy I found out about it! "Adorable" is a very good word to describe it

It's true! The manga beats the first series on all counts! There, all the characters grow physically and mentally. And what we have in TV-1? Ed is 'an-angsty-boy-who-was-crying-because-he-was-almost-killed-by-a-maniac', Al looks like a minor character (he is totally uninteresting and boring, he doesn't even have his own opinion! X.X), and the Colonel is just helpless sometimes... Especially in CoS >_> And most of the characters doesn't develop at all (Winry, for example). And the ending of CoS just killed me. x_x That's why I love the manga and only manga. It has a plot.

D'aww, it's no need to thank me, I'm always happy to help with FMA stuff <3 I'm glad you like it -^^- I also hope Arakawa will make more gaidens in the future, for example about Ling or Roy and Liza *__*
and sorry for my lame English plz

EffraSorbus In reply to Mistrel-Fox [2010-09-23 12:23:50 +0000 UTC]

Yep, I agree with you all the way I especially love how Al is given a much bigger and more interesting role in the manga ^^

And don't worry about your English, I think it's just fine
