I started drawing Riza for Ladies’ Day, so I guess this could be considered a late contribution. I wanted to make it as good as I can balance with being so busy, so I couldn’t finish it in time for Ladies’ Day.
Some of the shading’s a lil weird, and the foreshortening on her arm was lazily done. Other than that, I think it turned out nicely!
“Many people ask me why they support my mission to become Fuhrer. Well, I’ve got a list of things I’m sure many of you would like. Starting with…”
“One. All female officers have the option of wearing TINY MINISKIRTS!”
“(The Lieutenant forced me into making it so that it wasn’t mandatory, sadly.) Two. MORE DOGS PUPPIES! They are highly loyal and will do greatly in the Military.”
"Three. I am AMAZING at rapping!”
(See my post here for the most awesome proof ever.)
“Four. I’m not a homunculus. Automatic win.”
"And Five, how can you resist the charm, anyways? Support me, and you’ll be glad you did.”
“There’s a lot more. But those, of course, are the most important.”
This features one of the many chores Edwina has to do to make up her debt to Alphonse. She doesn’t appreciate doing more menial tasks as they bore her, but then she meets the boys’ basketball team’s captain, Rosalie. She’s known in the school for fighting against having teams for separate genders, and was so influential she was able to enter the boys’ team and become the captain. The team has won 7 out of 8 national games ever since.
The fact that Edwina caught her in such a humble situation is what made her infatuated with Rosalie; Ed had assumed Rosalie was stuck-up, pretentious, and a know-it-all. (Later, Ed will find out these are all true, but it’s too late for Ed by that point.)
Well! This was fun, and I can’t wait until next year! Thank you to those who organized FMAWeek, as this has done wonders for my art progress and work ethic, as well as made me for active in-fandom. I’m grateful for FMAWeek.
Also, I’ve seen quite the [successful] effort made by the rest of the fandom to make this as interesting and wonderful as possible. To everyone who participated, thank you for taking everyone else back along the beautiful journey that was FMA. Hopefully I’ll see everyone next year!
“There’s no such thing as a painless lesson-they just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can’t gain anything without loosing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah, a heart made fullmetal.”
“I thought living forever was nothing but exhausting. But since I met you and our sons, for the first time I felt glad to be alive. It was a full life. Yes, this is enough…ah, damn it! I don’t really want to die.”
Remember in Rush Valley; you delivered that baby, you saved two lives, and you gave me an arm, and a leg, to replaces the one I lost. It’s your hands, they weren’t meant to kill. They’re meant to give life.
