Fanart: Envy (wip)

[mokka_kahvi]

Oh hi fandom, long time no see.

I drew Envy again.

'Tis SFW, it's just a shirtless dude. :V


(Can now be viewed on DA, here)

There's actually a reason for this. See, I was drawing this for a friend as an extra birthday gift because the other thing I drew was already belated and I felt bad. So anyway, I thought I'd get some critique (maybe) on this before I go crazy colouring/shading it because I want everything to be ~perfect~. </obnoxious perfectionism>

Oh, and the stuff he's holding is supposed to be philosopher's stones/blood. It's artsy, see?

Also, apologies if you had to see this more than once. Cross-posted to envy_fans and fm_alchemist.

OMG this is an awesome picture!! You are quite the artist ^_^

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Always nice to hear/read that. ^^

Wow, I have to say I wish I could draw like that! I don't see a thing wrong with it. I'll just ask, do we get to see ti after go all crazy with the coloring and shading? ;-)

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

Oh my, thank you very much!

I'll be posting the finished one later, yes. :D
It'll just take a while though, with exams to finish and the FMA Big Bang getting under way.

Great fanart! I think Envy looks better in your pic than in the anime :D Don't have any critique because everything looks nice. I don't even know whether you really need to colour it - it looks really good like that, quite atmospheric!

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's quite the compliment. I'm flattered. :>

Really? I'd hate to ruin the atmosphere of it, though I was planning on using subtle colours anyway. I guess I'll see. If it looks better colourless, I might just tone it instead. Thanks for mentioning that!

[denshi-no-ultra.livejournal.com]

:)

I think, if the colours are not too bright and cartoonish, it will work :) Or you could just colour the philosopher's stones bright red, and leave the rest just toned, to create a contrast...

Well, I'm just giving you some ideas, but I'm sure that whatever you choose to do in the end, it will look great :)

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking actually, although I like the sound of the contrast idea.

Thanks again; your input is very appreciated!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's a lovely piece. XD

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :>

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I love that icon, too - did you draw that as well?

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

Yes, actually. :D

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It's very, very cute!

[admia.livejournal.com]

Glory be, how pretty~

Yeah, no critique from me here. It looks great as-is. :3

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

Envy likes being pretty~, of course.

Thank you, thank you! (I am sounding like a broken record here, lol)

[dainochild.livejournal.com]

So pretty! I love that your drew Envy's hair more fluid than it usually is, and the softness of his features -- makes me believe all his comments about his 'adorable form'.

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! ^^
I'm happy that the hair is liked, honestly I thought I'd get comments about the hair being inaccurate, ha.

[dainochild.livejournal.com]

No, it's gorgeous! I love it :)

[semipertinent.livejournal.com]

Ooh, he's beautiful! He also has this unfocused or curious look about him, like he's newly-born or something. <3

[mokka-kahvi.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
That's actually a very interesting way to look at it. :>
