This is Shamballa! by SweetxinsanityxSarah

Description

Cookie to who can guess where I got the wordplay on the title from~! :3
(Hint: The number of pics I finally have is the same title of a greek movie.)

But yeah this picture wasent drawn on the date you see; it was drawn a few years ago when I got the special editon boxset of the Conquerer of Shamballa movie. There was a group pic with the bonus art that I loved where it was Edward, Alphonse and Roy all looking ready for battle. Well Al and Ed did, Roy was just smiling standing there looking sideways. I drew Edward perfectly...but the other two didnt want to cooperate so I just put down the pic and left it to collect dust in my folder. I picked it back up a few days later and decided to kill some boredom so I colored it.

I have to say I am VERY pleased with the results! The alchemic symbol even turned out pretty good too along with the backround. Ed's face however is my favorite part since it turned out perfectly. I wished his hands were alittle better though; especially the left one. Ah well least it looks better than my past hands i've drawn on him. xP
But yeah reason I drew this years ago is I wanted to do a pic of Edward that was unique and rare to find, so I chose this one cause I havent seen it anywhere just yet in my searches. Plus the pose is pretty neat too; as if he's ready to clap his hands and kick some rear.

If you are wondering why the darker parts of his hair look a tad wonky, it's cause I pushed the marker down soo hard on the hair it brought up paper stribbles. But if I didnt darken the hair this much, would have blended in with the rest of the hair like with my "Libera me" Abel piccie. I am very happy how his coat came out too, should have been a tiny bit darker but ah no biggy. xP

And here be half of the original picture, this is to prove I did NOT trace this picture. Just worked on it alot harder and longer than my past Ed pics is all. You can tell right away there are some HUGE differences. ;3

SweetxinsanityxSarah on May 31, 2011, 6:44:43 AM

Thanks, I take it you like it. xD

Tedman on February 12, 2011, 2:01:05 AM

Very nicely done. I find Ed really hard to draw, don't know why. But you've captured him perfectly. :)

SweetxinsanityxSarah on February 12, 2011, 2:06:33 AM

Same thing with fluffy, he's hard to draw for me but you can draw him in your sleep it seems. But one guy that is even more trickier is RAZIEL! -points to profile pic- xD trust me he looks simple but he isnt in sketching concept lol.

MacalaniaMan on January 23, 2011, 4:24:38 AM

That's a great picture. Great colours.

lol! it's really good though. the shading is lovely!

Lackadaisydragon on August 30, 2010, 1:55:51 PM

Wow, just wow. This is awesome, Sarah. Great job, all the way across the board.

Love the detail in the shading. Specifically the hair. That's the level of awesome I hope to eventually post.

Again, this is awesome.

SweetxinsanityxSarah on August 30, 2010, 2:28:49 PM

Yes the detail to his hair and face are my proudest moments. Wish the color to his outfit would have turned out more blended though. Damn pencils xP

Let's see if I can beat this pic though, got a good pose from a magazine of Al and Ed looking towards the audiance and Ed looks just soo cute and Alphonse looks cute in a way too. After all Ed's the best chara I can draw besides Hao, and Alphonse for a first time drawing him turned out mighty fine too. x3

Here's hoping folks! <333

CuteFox300 on August 30, 2010, 11:40:26 AM

No_Name on August 30, 2010, 3:41:03 AM

Very well done. Actually, I think his hair turned out quite well.
You're shading is spot on.

(It's the hands that are alittle wonky...but that's hands for you...they are never easy!!)

SweetxinsanityxSarah on August 30, 2010, 11:53:25 AM

Yush hands are ebil~! And trust me if you saw his hair on the actual pic you'd agree it looks funky xP
I am glad the scanner covered up the funkyness.

luckylace222 on August 30, 2010, 10:41:13 AM

I like it when you fully color like this! It must have taken a long time, but the result looks great! Nice motion in his hair and posture! Great work!! 8D

SweetxinsanityxSarah on August 30, 2010, 11:51:40 AM

Yeah it took a whole night and a few days of touch-ups to get the colors just right in the shading. x3

And thankies his hair does seem to have a 'flow' to it huh? ;3
