After searching through a myriad of scans I have collected from AP, I found this pose of Roy (as he was lurking in the bg as a secondary character shot).
I really liked his pose and expression, so I extracted him and gave him his own wall.
I wanted to play around with colors found on his uniform (along with blues, since I feel blues fit his personality very well).
The sun rays may be cliche but they symbolize power and the oriental feel. I feel the sun rays are fitting for Roy's "imperialistic goals" and the whole "dawning of a new era" motif. Also, I added some birds to the sky to further convey the lofty ambitions and endless possibilities Roy sees for his "revolution."
I also wanted the wall to have a bit of a grungy feel, and so the fractals and bullet brushes helped me convey the overall "texture" of the wall.

His ambition is not failed. He is rising again. He is always cool and handsome.

Pretty good on the extraction. And nice use of textures too. I think the rising sun best portrays Roy Mustang's ambition. Good job.

This background really suits Roy. I like how Roy is dead center and pops out from the background instead of blending in with it. I also like the color choices for the background; it goes along with how Roy is extremely ambitious and strong willed but reserved/quiet about it. (If it was Armstrong, the background would need to be bright, bold colors. Possibly with streamers and/or sparkles.)
I don't like the birds; they look too much like halloween bats. But that could just be me.

Black was a good choice for the accents of this wallpaper; taking its color from Roy's hair, it pulls everything together.

This is great me thinks, I love the colour scheme, and it feels like a dark kind of wallpaper, but somehow it has some kind of optimistic feel. Could it be Roy? :D

Not bad. The background, with its angled sectors coming from the bottom, is somewhat fitting for Roy. His pose works as well, as he looks confident and composed, feelings that this paper portrays. I'd suggest doing one where the colors match his flame nature more closely. (The birds seem kind of random though.)
