Artist's Comments

Something I drew after reading the fanfic "Snow" by :iconchildofpuck:
Scene it's from: "Ed couldn’t really understand what they were saying. He was too focused on watching the blood slide down the glass, on tasting it on his stained lips. He looked down at his hand, at the dripping crimson, and brought it up to his mouth."

My pictures never seem as dark as they should. ^_^"
Done without any references (his hair looks awful), in about two hours (started a few minutes after reading the fic... I couldn't get it out of my head), using the Sakura pigma micron 005 pen I've bought (I think it's running out of ink... I probably shouldn't have colored all that black in with it ^_^" ) and Blue and Carmine Red Prismacolor Col-Erase colored pencils. By the way, for once, it almost takes up a whole page. (the vector of Al I made did, too, actually, before I edited it - although, that pic has nothing at all to do with this one. ^_^" )

Holy crap!

I love how crazy/vacant he looks. His eyes are so haunting. I also like how pale the red is... it makes it look so surreal, and he was pretty whacked out by that point...

Thanks so much, I LOVE YOU!!!

I should probably edit it in PhotoShop, since I messed up on several things, though. ^_^" I can't seem to get a picture to turn out right unless I work on it off and on for awhile... (sighs)
But, I'm glad you like it. ^_^ I wasn't sure how noticable the blood and eyes stuff was. (I was tempted to color his eyes in PhotoShop, because I kept wanting them to be kind'a dull yellow, but I thought it might be better to only have red in the pic.)

I think I like it with just the red, personally. It's very dramatic. And yeah, I know what you mean about needing to step away from a project for a while sometimes... I feel that way all the time.

The only critique I can offer is that Ed's tongue--while very well-drawn--looks almost comical, which I'm sure you weren't going for... and then Ed had taken his glove off to touch the dog, so his hand should be bare.

Other than that, I am *SO* in love with this... it makes me want to draw my own version of this part... but I probably never will ^_^; Anyway, it would never be this awesome.

Oh, I forgot about him taking off his glove. >_< Yeah... now really I feel like messing with it in PhotoShop. Later.

Oh yes, that part WAS creepy. o.o

Most people these days don't know this, but if your parents never have kids, you won't either! Isn't that odd?
:iconbaconinthesoap64:
i agree on all parts. the only red thing is awesome. but the tongue looks silly, and the glove has gtg. xDDD
