Well, I'm not really sure where this came from. After a ton of working, re-working, and re-re-working, I've finally gotten this. I was thinking of the FMA movie while working. If you've seen the movie, you'll notice a difference in colors between the two worlds- Ed's world is bright and colorful, while the other is dull. I really wanted to emphasize that, and bring out Ed's expression.
The BG is entirely made of textures from mayang's gallery (Except the lamppost), all skewed and sized to fit perspective. In order to make sure things looked right, I made a rough 3-d model and used a screenshot as a reference. This was one big headache... but I think it's worth it. A big thanks to blu3angl and shiningdays for giving me feedback!

its much better than before, and I know the effect you were going for since I've seen the movie, but..I still don't dig the color/black and white. =\ I've never really seen any walls that pulled off this trick succesfully, and while yours is damn good, its just not down my alley.

yay! ED! kinda sad back ground..... lotsa grey, and some color on Ed.... hmmm.... i like it! >_< +favs ... so pale and gloomy

Nice alley, nice use of textures. I didn't see the movie, so no. I don't really understand your use of colors. But I don't dig the dull grey background with a sudden colorful and vibrant Ed. It just doesn't blend. Other than that. Good job.

it´s great, and now looks much better than before, I mean, the perspective of the bg it´s not wrong anymore, I´m glad that you fix it, Now it really looks good

A nice wallpaper though I wonder why the character would glow given the background is quite mono as in grey & white. Nevertheless I like the background
6 years, 9 months ago
The background are pretty and well done... good work!

Oooh I like the idea you went for, I've seen the movie before (it was pretty good ^^) and yeah you can tell that the colours are fairly different in each world ^^ It looks almost like as if Edward is isolated in this wall =P Coz he's the only thing which is in colour. Nice idea ;D
6 years, 9 months ago
Nice job with the textures ^^ I'd be a bit curious to see what this'd look like all black and white, but regardless, it looks nice right now ^^

The alley 3D-ness looks cool and the texturing as well. If everything was constructed from scratch then you've done tremendous job. Love the backwall and the lamp post. Not sure about the glowing Ed - haven't seen the movie.. I'd say his shoes and bottom of his pants could be blended better with the bg though, atm the difference of colours look rather too contrasty and perhaps lacking shadows on the floor. Building a believable world from scratch is not easy and I think you've done a pretty good job overall :)

the bg looks like 3D~~!! but the shade around ed'head should not be yellow I think

Wonderful background. Your composition is fantastic :).

It is a wallpaper with atmosphere very much. Edward who pauses in the seen mysterious space looks away the reality like the back of the alley and the building, etc.

I really like the 3d concept of the alley and the background. It really brings into life. And yea... the concept of the movie is pretty obvious in this wall. And Ed really looks sad... nice walL!!!

Waiii I think you did great with this wall! I see that maybe the glow around him was to separate him with the rest of the world. personally, i don't see anything wrong with the idea of a colored person in the mist of black and white town. Great JOB!

this backgroud looks very sad and lonely but it very match edward well done
6 years, 9 months ago
pretty good, i like the colors and how Ed really stands out (oviosly) anyways, good job!
6 years, 9 months ago
HM... I like that CG-background. It looks like a real photography. Edward's "light" effect in the wall looks very smooth and nice. Edward looks a bit blurry compared with the rest of the pic, but the picture overall looks great.
I've just started seeing Full Metal Alchemist, and I wanted to get a good wallpaper of it. Yours was chosen :) Congrats, dude! And pretty nice job!

Background is wonderful, but I don't like very much Ed's face... it seems a bit strange :\ However is a very beautiful wallpaper :D +favs

ohhh, nice wallpaper, especially the background the character seems to be out place, it doesnt seem to get mixed with the background although overall its very nice and attractive,
good job....

Ooh, I like the atmoshpere of this wall...but I think it would be better if you added color to the lampost, and maybe tint the walls a color? Or just make Ed gray so the whole wall matches.
6 years, 7 months ago
Wow!! COOL!! I like the background make the pic looks so cool. In here Ed look cool too. Add to fav Great job. Keep it up ^ ____ ^

I like this wallpaper. The style reminds me of a colorized black-and-white photograph. The only part I don't like, per se, is the texture of the ground. It seems too regular--too CG--to fit in with the rest of the setting. Otherwise, it's a fantastic wallpaper.

I love how Ed has a glow about him.

Poor Ed really isn't a part of that world! nicely done.
5 years, 10 months ago
The wall behind and Edward seems opposite with each other, that's feel like Edward is alone. Add to favourite!
Thanks.

(Wow, that's really nice. I like the contrast with the emphasis on Edo.)

Gret wall I like that feeling of loneliness i also like Ed standing like that it gime me that feeling of lose something you really love pretty well done
5 years, 7 months ago
I totally see what you were going for here, and it was nicely done at that!
5 years, 7 months ago
I love the greyscale. I'm not sure the colour really works in it, but the scene is great.
5 years, 5 months ago
It is one of my most favourite Fullmetal Alchemist wallpapers. How should I put it :)) The atmosphere in this wallpaper is myterious, quiet and deep. Grown-up Edward with serious look is disposed to the right made the theme seems larger ^^ I love your work. It's a great wallpaper! Thanks for sharing.

I can really see the movie in this one. The background is done really well and it's very realistic except for the glow around Ed and the perspective is off for the ground. The paving stones on the ground go to a different vanishing point than the alley. Still a really cool scene.
