Artist's Comments

This is a piece of fanart for my fanfic "The Call of Atlantis". [link] The basic idea of the fic is that Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist discovers that he's really a merman and feels a call from Atlantis to come home where he belongs, though he's obviously very confused, lol. This particular scene hasn't been written yet at the time of this submission, but in this pic, he's very near his destination, just not quite there yet. Winry Rockbell has caught up with him, found out about his transformation, and has accepted it. Now she's enjoying his presence for the time being, since she doesn't know how much longer this will last.

Much thanks goes to :iconlea-cat: and :iconishte: for loads of critiques while this pic was being created. I'm still learning how to draw, particularly how to draw people, and this wouldn't have been nearly as good as it is without their help. Thank you thank you thank you!

As always, feel free to comment or critique, as I'm always looking to improve my skills. Also, full view looks much better since there are more details, though this is one of the first I've uploaded where it actually looks good small, heh.

Anyway, thanks for viewing! :D

You've gotten very good at this, heh. The faces are still more oval-round than I picture them, but I think that's partly because I'm used to drawing anime-ish faces. The waves turned out very nice, as well as the green sash, lol. Their skin looks very realistic, and...

Wow... just wow, Al. Awesome job. The work on this was worth it. :worship:

I'm too cool for a signature, so there. Nyah!

...wait a minute...
Oh yeah, and I'm so sleepy I forgot...

I love the way you can kinda see Ed's legs even though he has a tail, haha. Nice effect there. ;)

Lol! Thank you thank you thank you very much! *hugs* Yes, I'm slightly crazy right now, but I just finished a very challenging pic, so I deserve a little leeway in my sanity right? hehe...and you favorited this too? Now THAT's a huge compliment, since I know you don't fave things unless you REALLY like something. w00t! I'm getting better at drawing, and I'm happy happy happy! Okay, I'll stop now...

Lol, I'll try to remember to inform you of when I upload the next chapter, but just in case I forget, you might want to consider getting yourself an FFN account and putting me on Author Alert. That way you'll be able to get alerts in your e-mail whenever I upload any new chapters to any of my fics. ((If you'd rather only be alerted when certain stories are updated rather than when I update anything, then put those individual stories on Story Alert...but knowing you, I think you'd enjoy the Author Alert feature more with me. You seem to like most of my stories, hehe.))

Anyway, thanks so much for the comment and the fave! I really appreciate it. This pic took quite a lot of effort since I wanted to get my proportions right for once, hehe...so hopefully it'll be easier to accomplish that from now on. My brother gave me some money to get some art supplies on my birthday a few days ago, so a couple of the things I got were a couple posable manikins, one male and one female, heh. I'd already drawn Edward by that time, but I'd only had Winry's head drawn, so I took out the female manikin and drew off of that for her. Helped me to make her actually look female, lol. Apparently having a model really helps when you're striving for realism. ;)

In any case, thanks again for the comment and the fave! Take care, and have a nice day!
you too!

i look forward to next chapther! ^^

Fantastic coloring! I especially love the white spray effect.

Lol, thank you. I'm glad that someone else likes this. This one was a lot of fun to do and involved learning a lot of new Photoshop tricks. ;)
