http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Full-Metal-Alchemist/item42135/ (Original Scan)
When I saw this scan, I just wanted to do something with it rigth away. Because the quality wasn't all that great, and it was kind hard to extract a picture from a red backround, I traced it (vectored if you will) in Photoshop. Longest darn vector I ever did, took me the week to complete....
I took so long on the vector, that I just didn't have any ideas for a backround. Some folks in session zero suggested that I should go in an abstract direction. Wich I did, or at least tried to do. I actually traced some tribal tattos I found on the Internet and blended them into the backround. I found some inspiration in some of the wallpapers here also. All in all, I'm rather proud of the messy yet stylish look I gave this wallpaper.
I hope some of you will like as well. :D

Roy looks sexy. The background looks good. *puts metalmallow's sticker of a approval on this* ^^
The only gripe is that I probably won't use this as my desktop for being 1024x768. x_x

Well,...Sorry For The Bad Quality Scan T_T (I'm The One Who Upload It On AP) But You Prove Your Skills With This Great Wallpaper Good Job !

Magnificent work! :D Well, Roy is one of my favorite character in FMA, and this wall is totally reflecting his coolness in a stylish way. The monochromish layout gives the entire wall a sleek look, and matches well with the sharp vector, though I think you can add a bit more contrast to the abstract scheme (brighter whites in some areas). The arrows might look a bit random, but it's okay, because the text is nicely placed in it. Overall, this is one of your best FMA walls to date, IMO. I'll surely put this in my fav box.
Oh, one more thing, can I have a bigger res please? ^_^' LoL.

Now you have done it...This is really sexy indeed. Great work with bg.NIce use of grunge and vector brushes. Great combination. Maybe you could gave cged the cropped shirt but that seems minor.

wow you spent a lot of time and effort on this wallpaper.. it looks really nice though.. I like how you made the wallpaper using a small range of colors.. and it has it's simplicity which goes w/ the monochromatic colors, but it also has that complex design behind roy to keep it interesting.
7 years, 2 months ago
Wow... I really, really like this one. It's so pretty. >_< I really appreciated all the time and effort you poured into this one, because I can assure you that it was well worth it! Great vectoring, great colors, and a great way of making everything fall together.

It's simple and unique at the same time. The colors match the character and so do the words. It amazes me.
