Triumph of the Scanner Manual

[asreoninfusion]

(Actually, thats a complete lie. I didn't use a scanner manual at all, I just sort of guessed where the leads went, and blew several things up in the process. But I did finally get it working! It took me over an hour though... It turned out I had everything wired correctly right from the start. The reason it took so long to get it working? I forgot to turn the stupid thing on -_-')

Anyway! I have returned to the drawing tennis! Thus:



I did the entire thing in ink! ^^ Which would have been good if not for the fact that the inks are evil. They ist eviler than the watercolours! The way I used them was just like using watercolours, only if you made a mistake you couldn't erase it, or if you left it too long the ink would dry and then when you carried on with the same bit it would be a different colour and lots of little lines >.< Plus I didn't even do the original sketch on the watercolour/arty paper, so when I did the inks it got all wet and bumpy. So eeeeeeeevil it twas!!! *cowers from the inks*

Despite the fact this took be absolutely ages, I'm still not that pleased with it. The inking, for reason mentioned above, came out crap. And I'm not quite sure about the way either of them came out. Al is understandable if the armour isn't perfect - this is my first time drawing him and armour ist also evil. But I would have liked to do Ed a bit better, considering this is the third time I've drawn him (not including various sketches in school books to annoy teachers, muaha). 

But anyway. Tis done, tis scanned, tis updated, so I shall stop complaining and let you enjoy it as much as possible (which isn't very much, but hey... >>) As for me, I must go and sit and stare at the calander until it gets to Friday. Because on Friday I shall get to see my father, and my father shall have the whole series of FMA on DVD for me!! XD I expect that there shall be much inspiration for drawing.....

It's fantastic Katy! I really love it.
Ed and Al would be ecstatic to have you as a fan!
I can't believe it's your first Al... he looks spectacular. And Ed looks great as usual.
I might buy some ink if I can't find some around here... It looks like something worth hating.

As this is a tennis match, I think I should say something that would be tennis equivalent. Um... Ace shot!

O.O

Woooow... *admires for a few hours*

*blinkes abruptly* You know what this means? I shall have to hit the drawing tennis ball back... >> It's not even nearly finished yet. Hopefully it'll be worth in the end if it ever gets that far. And Asreon still looks like a girl ^^

Anyway; *screams in a rather high pitched fangirl scream* It's Al!!! *hugs Al and gets poked by metal spikey... things* Ow... *cough* I should settle down, shouldn't I? But I can't! *screams a second time* It's fantasmicated beyond all reason!!!

George: I apologise for her; she's too excited about the fact that you drew *sigh* Alphonse, to pay any attention to the FRONT HALF of the picture.

Tabris: *chirps in agreement*

George: So, on behalf of Yoda, she believes you drew Edward magnificently, again. And you should draw him again soon, at some point, in the future, so we can admire more.

Tabris: *squeaks*

George: Quite right. Tabris reckons you should draw a piccy of little Ed and Al, when they were kids. That would be... uh...

Tabris: *screeches impatiently*

George: Oh right, 'cute'. Heh.

Tabris: *rolls eyes*

Yoda: *still squealing over wonderful piccy*

Ooh, draw them as kids? Excellent idea! I was looking for inspiration for what to do next! ^^

Hmm... someone appears to be overly obsessed with Al ^^ Perhaps you could take Chibi's place in the drawing I planned... (which will probably never get done, but hey) Yesh, that'd work... Then it'd be easier to fit in everone else ^^ So, doomed you are, muahaha....

Also, do not worry about the slowness. I am very slow. I try to do piccys and I try to do stoy, but I spend so much time trying to figure out which one I'm going to work on that I don't get anything done at all -_-' So slowness is fine ^^
