I finished this for A-kon 15's art show. Whew. Maybe I needed to get sleep so that I could drive but I think that's a bit over rated.
Anyway, I tried some new coloring things with this picture. Mostly on the insturments and the Microphones. I ran color half tone over the mics to get the texture. I used mostly paths to get the cel shading on the characters. Please look at the picture. =]
Oh and I posted the steps I took to draw the picture in my scraps section. They can be found starting here:
^________^ I went to your site awhile ago and saw this as a sketch and I went, "WHEN IS SHE GONNA FINISH IT?!?!" So I saw it on my recent deviations list and I actually exclaimed, "YE-AHHHH!" Then my mom told me to quit making noise and to go to bed.
It came out SO good, Ame-chan! You should be proud! Why are you so great at making them look sexy, huh? Girls like guys with guitars.
Awesome job on Ed's automail by the way. I could never quite master that.
Yay! I'm glad I finished it too. ;_; It was touch and go for a bit there as friends were calling and going 'so when do we leave for the con?' Sweats and keeps coloring. I'm not sure what my secret to making the guys look good. I think it might be all the nekkid pictures of dudes I own. :sweat:
Anyway, yeah Ed's automail was hard to get reference for. I used mostly manga pictures. At A-kon I bought the manga guide book so now I have better reference. Giggles. Hmm, I still need to finish that other picture of Ed I have. Maybe do a picture of Roy.
Ahhh, it's up, it's up!!!! And you KNOW I have to favorite this, right? I shall have to poke others to come and view this magnificent piece of male finery!

haha, I need to see this series ; My boyfriend is crazy about it. Great work on the equipment; the accuracy really caught my eye. The coloring looks great, it has a little more depth than is typical of cel-shading.

*nod* Very nice. I remember seeing this one at Akon... about two kiosks from the door, right? Excellent work, btw. I really liked the chibi FMA characters one as well.
Love the expressions. Absolutely love them... it gets their character across so well.
I remember this one from A-kon, your art was pretty much the only art in the show that I saw that I -really- wanted to bid on ^_^ This and your 走& #12428;錬金術師 image REALLY made me wish I had allowed myself to cave in and bid!
It's an odd tool to figure out though. Pat had to sit me down and show me how to use it so I even knew what to do with it. Worries about having suggested it. Hmm. You can try a tutorial like here [link] or maybe this one (it's a pdf though) [link] this one also seems good [link]
I hope these helps since the tool was hella hard to figure out and still drives me up the wall sometimes. It's kind of fun though once you're use to it. I may end up using Illustrator just to be able to get the full range of vector fun.
There are a lot of themes that run through the stock gallery many people have similar ideas but they pull them off in different ways. In this series of newsletters we will look at similar ideas but different outcomes.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
