That was an adventure. This is the first wallpaper I've attempted. I used the Paint.net, as it's the closest thing to photoshop I have. I have little experience editing pictures, usually just random funny pictures or removing text from a simple background or something. So, making this was without a doubt the hardest thing I've done. It took me at least a solid 16 hours...
I used these two scans: (low-res) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Poeyseidon/animepaper/FMAScan.jpghttp://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/tagged/item9911/
This scene from Fullmetal Alchemist is a pretty powerful one if you've seen the show. The concept of the wallpaper is that it's from Roy's perspective, and he's sort of in disbelief over Hughes' death. Thus, the entire world is blurry/painted on like it's false, including the image of Hughes - the only clear things are himself, Riza, and the tombstones (the 'truth', if you will) How's that for depth! Anyway...
Here's an alternate version which probably suits Hughes' character a bit better ;)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Poeyseidon/animepaper/FMAWall2HughesHappy.jpgPM me for higher resolutions of the alternate version.

EPIC!<3 Hm, you said you used paint.net? I can see you have vectored that as well from the original scans. I think I will get this paint.net as it looks like a way better alternative to the gimp. OK back on to the wall. I'm a huge FMA fan, and the death of Hughes made me cry. Yeah thats right, it made a 23 year old dude cry! I love how you put in the grave site with Risa and Mustang, it really makes the wall. GREAT JOB!|(n_n)|

this wallpaper is very emo. and i say emo with a positive connotation. It can evoke strong emotions from those who have seen fma. Truly commendable

Nice idea on this wallpaper. Although I prefered the scene where Mustang says, "It's Raining" and a tear traces its way down his cheek. But still... This wallpaper is simply awesome. Strangely... I also enjoyed looking at the other version you had of the wallpaper. The one where Hughes looks tons funnier but doesn't exactly suit the already solemn expressions on faces of Roy and the Lt. Awesome vectoring job on this wallpaper!

The Hughes on this wallpaper suits the characters, the scene, and the whole atmosphere much more, the cheerful Hughes wouldn't fit there. The background looks really nice, and the characters are looking good as well. Very nice wallpaper.

It's a nice wall and the painting is good, I like the concept and how it's all blurry but the main people in the scan.
The bad thing about it is that the back ground makes the two scans edgy and jagged all around, it looks like bad extracton which I'm not sure is the real case or it is in fact the back grounds fault.
Beside the bad extraction the wall is nicely done.

Nice work for your first wallpaper mate, though I would have liked to see evidence of a light source (perhaps rays of light from the upper left area to represent sunlight) but then again you didn't use photoshop so I suppose it couldn't be helped. I like the concept though, do keep up the good work.
P.S. To all of you who said that this was a so-called "emo" wallpaper, you guys clearly don't know what emo means. Sure, it may fill you with sad thoughts and make you slightly unhappy, but that doesn't make it emo. Sadness is a part of life. The definition of emo actually relates to pessimists who delight in self-inflicted pain, black eye-liner and talking about just how horrible life is.

I think Hawkeye and Roy are little on the darkside, but other than that, nice job.

It is too sad when I knew he died in the episode 25. He is really a man full of joke.

This picture makes me kind of sad, especially because Hughes was such an animated character... Still, I think it's a really good wallpaper.
