You'll Have To Get Through Me First... by ArielthePHF

You'll Have To Get Through Me First...

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.

This derivative fan art is based on the work of Hiromu Arakawa and all rights are reserved to Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) © Hiromu Arakawa // Square/Enix.

Thank you, Arakawa-shi.

Teh epicness that is Ariel strikes yet again. God you are such a pro with drawing Alphonse!

ArielthePHF on August 22, 2012, 8:26:04 AM

Awww... you're embarrassing me! Actually it's the action figure more than anything else. If I were to try and draw him out of my head, he wouldn't be nearly as impressive. :* But thanks anyway!

Yeah Al is quite tricky, you should see some of my depictions of him. Search for the pics called "To Challenge The Night" and I believe one called "We'll never forget" or something along those lines. xP Oh and "Alphonse's tears" that's my best one of him.

The thing is, you probably did that either out of your head or with a few references in passing. That is real skill. I'm just a copyist. If I could do something decent without any reference but my own head, then I'd feel like I was doing well. Until then, I still work at it.

This is stunning and an amazing piece of work. Really, the detail is breathtaking! *faaaaaves* x3 <3

*blush* You are too kind. I really have to give a lot of credit to those models I got. I couldn't have done anything this good without them. Thank you so much for commenting. :)

Oh, may I ask where you got such nice models? I noticed you said they could virtually be posed in any way, how awesome is that! :D

Here's Ed - http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=KAI10392&mode=retail

And here's Al - http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=KAI10407&mode=retail

They're a little pricey, but I figured these would be the ones to get if I got any. And they are definitely worth it. :)

Wow, that's not entirely expensive, for such nice figures.

This is intense! Little brother protecting big brother!

I am sorry, but that loincloth being so obvious is hilarious.

LOL! Well, at least he's wearing something! Thanks for commenting!
