This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.

Nice, definitely on the way to a great wall!
Did you vector it yourself? Looks pretty good!

What's that fuzzy stuff at the bottom?? Looks like the image is not aligned properly or something ..

With the cloud, what are those transparent rectangular and dark fibre-y looking things - are they meant to be there?? My first thought was the sharpness contrast between the characters and the background is too great, maybe you could try putting in stock photo or texturing, or keep abusing the clouds until it looks fitting with the sharp-edged characters.

Good luck! ^.^

You know what would probably give this wallpaper more attention. See what it will look like if you add a city in the background

Wow the vectoring on this is really great. I would recommend that you work off of some stocks and maybe perhaps even vector a background (if you're up to it) because that would just make it an oustanding wall in my eyes. I think you have something good on your hands if you devote some more time to it and spend a great deal of time developing the background.

Neat vectoring, but as it is it doesn't quite work with the red cloudy sky. You might as well turn it into a sunset scene outside the HQ in Central or something like that :P

The vectoring is very good, but I aggree with Furi-kun here... the reddish background doesn't fit them too well. My suggestion would be to improve the sky, make it more realistic, and add a building behind them, either it's Central's headquarters or a police precinct (to make it a bit of a spinoff from the series).
I believe this wall would turn out great :) Keep on improving it~

Nice job on the vectoring, I agree with the comments above, try a different background. Goodluck!

Hiya Molotov
Well I love the scan, that is great and so is the cutout job on them, but for the rest I really have to disagree with your chooice. If I begin with the font, well I have to say on second look the font itself fits really well, but the colours just dont go, withc is the same as the colour on the background. Well I will tell you why I say that, because the scan itslef looks really kinda somber and all, and with this peeach colour it really gives different message. If it was me I would perhaps add an industrial looking scene and blur it out a bit and stick that in the background, and for the font I would simply change colour to grey and then find some nice metalic texture image and then add it as alpha channel to the text. I hope this help mate

Cheers

Amazing vector! kinda with everyone else on the bg (karimb had some good suggestions). also, don't forget the rule of thirds (which you don't have to follow but it looks better than stickin them in the middle). they should be alittle off to the side, either left or right. the text shouldn't be hidden at the bottom like that. if you move them over the text could go in the emply space.

There are far too many FMA walls but this one is a keeper. I like the scan, its very different Ive never seen this one before. I like your idea very cute and funny. I would however maybe change the background its too plain. Also, maybe fancy up the text a bit its too plain and you cant really tell its there.

Lots of suggestions for over-hauls. If you wanted to keep the clouds a way to go would be to add something in the middle disatnce, such as a city sky-line. I guess you could go with some tree sillhouettes as if they were in a oark or something - maybe a chain link fence to give a more urban slant? If you do keep it in that red sky, I would definitely consider altering the colours of the scan. Strong sunsets like that tend to have a bleaching effect, so the guys would look more red.

I must say, I personally would have put them in a dark alley, with moodey street-lighting myself as it kinda sits with the whole film noire feel better. For me there's also a slight jarring contrtast in that the picture is quite humerous, but the bg is very "serious".
