Artist's Comments

This lovely creature is Ethan Robert Rouge*, a Lab 5 moon moth chimera from Full Metal Alchemist with two auto-mail arms. This drawing shows him in the near aftermath of that experimentation, missing both one arm and one side of wings at the time. I decided to be extremely cruel to him in this. XD I found the fact that there were free moths fluttering around the lamp outside his cage incredibly ironic--after having added them without thought.

*He is actually in the Full Metal Alchemist manga, I've just taken him a step farther and given him a background--if you want to see his amazing six panels and four words, get volume 7 and look at chapter 27, pages 77-80.

The majority of this drawing was done with mechanical pencil and colored pencils. The background was cleared with Adobe Photoshop and the background colors were added with Paint.

((11/26 EDIT: I reworked the background, giving it a bit more texture with Photoshop, and added stitches to the wing-removal gashes.))

Poor Ethan...he has it so rough. I like the simplicty and the neatness of this drawing, it says a lot in only a few lines. Good luck in the contest!

Maww the poor guy, he really did have it rough in that lab o.o`

This is an excellent drawing, it illustrates his suffering very well ( I just want to go in there and give him a hug!) and I love the shading and colouring too.

Excellent piccy and good luck in the contest!

Hey, thankees for the comments, guys. It was my own fault, but I was really rushed in completing him. >.<; Keep an eye on my Door, I'll most likely make a note when I've revised him.

*pokes details like stitches and wall texture* I fail at actual shading, so I tend to leave it out. The most I can get in the right spot is the neck and the chin, as I modeled here. XD

Awwww poor Ethan. =( You did a great job with his sad expression, as well as making his wing look transluscent. =) Great work! :clap:

Thanks, Darkest! *pops inflating head* I really liked how the wing turned out as well. I was worried it wouldn't turn out right, but everything worked out in the end. ^_^
