Description
*cough, cough* .. let me point out that the hands suck, so please don't complain
Yup it's Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist
Okies dokie! Funny story behind this drawing: I was heading off to collage on monday by taking the usual ride on the bus. There always is this old lady that I see everyday on the way there and the way back home. On the way home she sat next to me while I was doodling in my sketchbook, and yes, she was staring right at me! Oye, I was feaked out. So I looked at her and she looked at me and then... old lady = "It Ed-kun!!!~!
" ...me = *stares* I burst at laughing, everyone is the bus was looking at me, lol. After a few minutes, after I had clamed down I asked her if she knew who the character was (btw, now she thought I was a weirdo), she nodded and said that her grandson watches Fullmetal alchemist and she had seen most of it too. We began talking for awhile and at the end she "made" me finish the picture. I really hated the hands but she didn't mind. ^^ Right before I got off the bus she showed me a picture of her grandson *twiches* He was really hot, not just good looking, but somthing you could eat XD.....Anyways.. *cough* (hopfully I'll get to meet him someday 
) This picture is for her and her hot grandson XDWell thats about it. School it taking over my life, not to mention gaia, my protfolio, tests, tests, oh yeah, more tests. Peace out~! :heat: ^~

Ed: I could ask for a couple of more inches...it's not much.
Me: Um, it is much, Ed. Sorry!

Dear me, an old lady knew who Ed was? Eee! I'd glomp her on the spot!

Im glad you like it. I always try to stray away from the orignal artists style, it's fun to do and is a challange.
Yeah, I grew up with my parents that had seen Astroboy, ghost in a shell, AKIRA and many many more (even sailor moon, ccs and dbz too + transformers XD). I live in a high asian area (Vancouver BC Canada) so it's really nothing really new to me now. I recomend that you take your parents to watch some of Hayao Miyazaki's movies like spirited away, Princess Mononoke, NausicaΓ€ of the Valley of Wind, Grave of the Fireflies or Millenum Actress. Hayao has movies that are great starters for first time anime watchers and tend to have really great stories, you can also find them in video store (yes! Even dubbed!). Thanks for the comment ^^

Yes, Miyazaki's one of my all time faves! I'm looking forward to the release of Howl's Moving Castle next year. ^_^ He's the one that got me into anime in the first place. I was at the rental store and saw Princess Mononoke and thought "Hmm, that looks cool." So we rented it, watched it, were absolutely enthralled by the beautiful animation and characters, watched it four more times before we turned it in the next day. I begged and begged my parents to buy it for me, and now I have the video of it (which means no japanese. 
I'll make an otaku out of my mom yet though!

LOL, yup, thatβs a great start! May I suggest some Genre anime? Find out what your dad or mom might want to see, I always focus on comedy when introducing anime to artists or new viewers. Try to find a short series (26 eps or smaller) that has an easy story line and has a theme that they can relate to. I know a friend of mine hated anime, but when I lent her a few episodes of fullmetal Panic she couldn't stop watching it. Here's a tip, leave some anime that looks interesting out on the coffee table, they might get curious and watch it. Sometimes they (your parents) might not want to admit that they are watching "cartoons", find some ways to slowly introduce it to them. I did the same thing in high school when I was in art class, teachers didn't LOVE the anime art style, but by adjusting it, you can actually please both groups. If all fails, give them a dramatic movie or series to prove the story lines are so much better so they can see the difference from North American movies/cartoons to Japanese movies/anime. ^^
Good luck!

Well, I'm pretty sure my dad's a lost cause. He likes the simpsons, so I keep telling him he should watch Futurama or some other show like it. I think he'd like those (though I don't - they're kind of pointless in my opinion, unless you are desperate for a laugh). Now my mom--there's plenty of hope for her. I need to find a good romance anime or something like it. She loves to read romance books, so I'm hoping a romance anime might catch her attention? Possibly?
I've also wanted to force them to watch Akira or another great movie like it. That would sure show them the depths of the stories in some of them. Or maybe even Texhnolyze. That's a series for thought. Love it myself. My biggest problem is to get them to actually sit long enough for them to watch it. My dad leaves the first minute we mension the word "anime" or even "japanese". So I don't know what to do about him. He'd never just pick it up and watch it. Ho hum, what a hard case. I'll just have to try harder.
And I know what you mean when you say art teachers don't like the anime art style. Kind of ironic how they're art teachers yet so closed-minded to different styles. Nobody can ever see the beauty of it. There's so much to learn about it. And again we come back to the issue of the word "cartoon". -_-

well, you can always strap them down and sit them infront of the TV and make them watch anime XD. I hope you have the chance to show them how good anime can be.

Nice pic... FMA is one of my Fave Animes.. I have the trading arts figure set a few of the art books & the reference guide used by Square Enix animators to do the show.. (yup big fan..lol)
Anyway.. I think the hands are fine.. they are the hardest thing on the body to get used too so don't be too hard on yourself.. I have trouble with them sometimes myself.
The colors on this are great.. I like it... I like it Alot!
Nice gallery all around... wish I had that many pieces in mine

Oh man, that's hilarious... if an old lady would have said, 'It's Ed-kun!!' to me I probably would have gone into cardiac-arrest from shock.
LOL... for the 'hot grandson'... may he see it, it's lovely. Really. Hands are hard to draw anyway. And they really don't look *THAT* bad.
Like the color scheme also... nice shades fo yellow to grey to black... ^^
