Description My illustration for the FMA CYA challenge - though it is very late. I hope the lovely Gaia will forgive me.

Sketched using the Revoltech models as reference as well as many friends and neighbors who got snatched to make prone bodies. Those action figures are AMAZING! You can pose them almost any way imaginable. I had little Alphonse locked in that position for several months with orders that no one in my house was allowed to move either him or my lamp to insure the integrity of the light source and position. At least now the poor guy can put his arm down.

Other references and textures from the Photoshop program sample library and my twisted brain. Thanks to Alchemyotaku75 for her invaluable beta.

Thank you, Arakawa-shi.

Actually no, but I'm thinking of asking if I can use it for the FMA Big Bang challenge at LJ. I don't know if it would be allowed, but I'd love to have someone write a story based on it.

Ah, okay. I'd love to read that story, I'm too scared to write it myself (I don't have that much confidence in my abilities...)

If Al has anything to say about it, he certainly won't! Thanks for commenting!

Pretty much the same process I've used for all my pieces, except this time I had a model that I didn't have to ambush, embarrass and wait for the right light for - LOL! Thanks for the compliment - that's what makes it all worthwhile.

This is truly epic!! I love Al's protective stance and how helpless Edward is crumpled underneath him. I love the blood splatters

That's the part I liked most, actually. Hehe! There's a lot of very fine detail that gets lost in the larger picture - consider downloading it - you get to see lots more than in the dA image.

*grin* You are the angst expert so that is high praise indeed! I thought having the model to work from would make things easier, but it gave me the opportunity to put even more detail in!
