Description The main military cast of Full Metal Alchemist. I stuck Edward in a uniform because I like torturing the poor kid. Kidding, I just wanted to see what he'd look like. ^_^ I doubt he'd like it.
I've got a lot of photoshop work to do on this. For starters:
1. Everyone's heads are too big. Except Ed's. I think. Some major plastic surgery is gonna be required here.
2. Fury's height got messed up, so he went off the page. I need to bring him more in with the group and back onto the page completely.
3. Ran out of space for the bottom of some people's shoes. Oops. And Breda needs an elbow. And poor Armstrong's head got shaved slightly by the scanner, and I'm not talking haircut..
4. Falman's arm's too short. In contrast, one of Havoc's wrists is too long.
5. Havoc is waaay to big. If he were to stand straight up, he'd be looking Armstrong in the eye, and it's bad enough for poor Ed to have ONE guy that big looking down on him.
6. Speaking of which, Edward needs to grow. Well, it's self explainatory that he needs to grow, but I'm not talking gaining more height. I misjudged the little guy's littleness, and I think he ended up a tad shorter than usual. Don't tell him; he'd KILL ME. I'm probably gonna enlarge him slightly in photoshop. But not by much; he really is a...well, you know...(pipsqueak). *runs from incoming automail fist*

In short, this will be undergoing editing, plus I'll be coloring/shading it. So if you want to favorite this, I'd recommend waiting till the finished version shows up. Well, you can fave if you want; I certainly won't mind, but you still might want to check it when it's done.

This is a really neat sketch. Sure Ed looks a bit short, but I think he'll forgive you. ^^

YAY! My fav anime,--my fav part of the cast too This is awesome. Kudos to you for being able to pull off such a large pic and being able to keep everybody more or less correct in their proportions. I can't wait to see this colored

That looks great! Awsome! Haha, I love Mustang, there. He's giving Ed that yeah-like-you're-a-threat-to-me-as-if smirk. I can't wait to see this one colored.

Lol, I love the way you described the amused expression on Mustang's face. ^_^ Hawkeye's giving him that look of "That's not very mature, sir..."
Yeah, I can't wait to color it. Despite the fact that there are eight characters...wearing the exact same thing...all with minute detail...
I'm looking forwards to it, but that doesn't change the fact that this'll be a pain to color...

It'd make a great wallpaper, though.

Actually I think their heads are fine. As the person above said, group shots are NEVER easy. Kudos to you for doing so well on the lineart on this one.

You think so? They're large when I compare them to the manga art...huh...maybe I don't need to alter all of them...my big worry was whether or not I was right in altering Ed's height...I know he's short, but is he really THAT short?
Thanks for the comment!

No Hues?

Anyway, group shots are never easy.

I remembered Hughes after I drew this, but he wouldn't quite have fit anyways. I have an idea where in the story this could take place (I'll go more into detail in the colored verson's description), and he's dead by then. *pause*
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS KILL OFF MY FAVORITE CHARACTER?!? *cries*
Anyways, Hughes deserves a pic unto himself. Like a memorial. I want to do that sometime.
And yeah, group shots are a pain. I never was that good at estimating one drawn person's height, let alone getting a whole bunch to where their feet all hit the ground at the same level (as it is, Edward's stepping on Mustang's foot...but that might be intentional on his part).
