Description
First, I want to bring to your attention how creative I am with names. *EDIT:Well, it used to be called 'EdWin Kiss'....Second, this is what results from listening to 'Hallelujiah' sung by Rufus Wainwright on repeat.
And finally, I wasn't going to post this yet (because I feel there's something... off about the coloring [yes I know they're a little too close together... Ed really wanted that kiss okay?] but I just can't figure it out and it's already 12 pm...maybe you guys can help??) but I kinda forgot how to breathe a little bit when I looked at the hug picture and saw there were over 200 faves. So here's them kissing.
Thanks for the help and tips and pointers guys! But as much as I appreciate them, I think I've decided to leave this picture the way it is. I haven't looked at it in two days since it was posted, and except for small things that can be overlooked I'm simply going to let it go. I'm new to coloring and after all, it doesn't need to be perfect. But with the help some of you have given me I'll just make my next pieces even better =]

With the expression on Winry's face, all I can imagine is "3... 2... 1... -SMACK!!!-" That would've been soooooo funny

Hey! My brother is called Edwin; I'm sure if he sees that picture with a couple named "EdWin", he will be proud.
I like your pic, it's really cute.

Something's off with the colors? Don't mind those things that seem off to you, because I see nothing wrong with it. <3
And this totalleh made mah day! 
Woot everything looks so official-like! *w* Just color them similar to how they're colored in the anime and just fix the line art and kaboom! You see a fan-made screenshot!
I really wish this was just what happened... I swear Arakawa-sensei wanted to make them kiss but knowing that FMA is a shounen manga she just made them hug. D:

Hahaha I love your endless comment! x]
First of all, thank you thank you! And I DID see that EdRose piece there =[ Can we like, delete it, or withdraw it, orrr....?
Haha and yes I guess so 
And I agree with you 100% (not 90%, not 85%, 100%). Haha but oh well, we got what we got and it was adorable and sweet and hilarious- and I wouldn't want their relationship to end up any other way =3

This is so cute! they really should have kissed at the end of the show/manga.

Love it! XDD I think the thing you think is off with the coloring are the blushes. It's a little too bright for their skin tones.

Thank you! And well, I wanted to make the blushing really obvious, so if it doesn't look too overwhelmingly noticable, is it ok if I keep it that way?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can still do that, just alter the blushing tone a bit. XD But yeah, you can keep it, too, hun, it was just a suggestion. XP

Oh I know, thank you xD I just wanted to know from your point of veiw whether or not the blushing is simply too off their skin tones that it definitely needs to be changed xP And thank you again!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Welcome! Either or is fine, but IMO, I'd change the tone slightly. XD

Hahaha x] Ok ok, I'll go mess around a bit x]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Okie! It's quite simple, hun; you probably just have to mess with the Hue/Saturation a bit.

Only... I don't have CS4 haha, I have elements =/ But ill see what I can do anyway, thanks! =]

Ah- sorry once again! DX I'm really being of no help, am I? I hope all goes well- and remember- it's just a suggestion now! It doesn't make the art piece not good or anything! I still love it none the less! XD

This is really cute!
As far as color, I like the warmth of this, but if you were to change anything, you should experiment with the background. Violet is a compliment to yellow, so you might want to try that out; just don't go too dark. Maybe also thin out the line art around Winry's jaw.. That's all I can think of.
I hope that helps.
Again, this is adorable. Winry's shocked expression is especially awesome!

Thank you so much! And I did play around with the purple/violet coloring on Winry's side (because I really like the orange on Ed's) as you suggested, but it never seemed to look better (but I mean no offence on your part, that tip was something I didn't know =]), and I even changed the saturation and brightness a few times, but I figure I might as well keep it this way if it looks fine enough... but as far as thining of Winry's jaw, where do you mean exactly? Just below her lip, or closer to the ear, or where?
Thanks for your help =] And I'm glad you like Winry's expression! I like it too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome, glad I could be of some help
For Winry's jaw, I'm just looking at all the lines below her ear. They feel slightly thick and numerous, making her jaw sort of masculine looking. You could try making them thinner/lighter and it might look better. It's really not that big of a deal, otherwise the drawing is fine the way it is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
On the numerous lines: Oh, hm, really? Ok then I'll see what it's like making them...less numerous haha.

this is what should have happened at *SPOILZOR ALERTZ* chapter 108 or episode 64 when they were saying their goodbyes with hugs instead of proper kisses
