Description Bratja (Brothers) As Performed by Vic Mignogna

How can I repay you, brother mine?
How can I expect you to forgive?
Clinging to the past I shed our blood,
And shattered your chance to live.

Though I knew the laws, I paid no heed.
How can I return your wasted breath?
What I did not know has cost you dear,
For there is no cure for death.

Beautiful mother, soft and sweet,
Once you were gone we were not complete.
Back through the years we reached for you,
Alas ‘twas not meant to be!

And how can I make amends?
For all that I took from you…
I lead you with hopeless dreams.
My brother I was a fool.


Don’t cry for the past now, brother mine.
Neither you or I are free from blame.
Nothing can erase the things we did,
For the path we took was the same.

Beautiful mother, soft and sweet,
Once you were gone we were not complete.
Back through the years we reached for you,
Alas ‘twas not meant to be!

My dreams made me blind anew.
I longed to return to that time.
I followed without a word.
My brother the fault is mine.

So where do we go from here?
And how to forget and forgive?
What’s gone is forever lost.
Now all we can do is live.

I dedicate this image to the wonderful Vic Mignogna. I would really like to give this to him. I do have a way to send it to him so I should. Cause it was him singing that song that inspired me to do this. So, this is a really special piece to me, so if you steal I'll #%&@ Kill YOU!!! And no, I won't give you the MP3 of this song because I'm selfish and no one deserves it but the Reseembol Rangers

Time spent: 6 hours
Only marker I used was on Ed's pants, everything else is prisma pencils.
Many reference pictures were used (manga to be specific, really just for Al><.

Edward, Alphonse, and Trisha Elric (c) Hiromu Arakawa

Really nice! ^^It really does fit well to the song. I want to meet Vic sooo badly! *is a proud member of the Risembool Rangers* RED DAAWWWWWNNN!!!!!!! Though I just joined about a month ago. I'm observer_alchemist in the Yahoo! Group and in the forum.

Also, HeavenlyAnimeAngel is right...it's not on the website. It has Nothing I Won't Give (love that song too! ^^) but not Brothers. TT_TT

Nice shading and sunset backgound :3 Maybe you could do a white 'glow' sorta around the girl (not familar with FMA) so it seems more like a memory? Good job, though :3
