Sorry, I know its a crappy title but I couldnt think of anything else right now lol. I might change it later. Anyways.....this is a request for aceofNDK. He wanted a picture of 18 year old Ed and metal Al looking out into the ocean. Well, I through in the sunset lol. I thought it'd be a peaceful background.

This was my first attempt at drawing metal Al AND drawing a anime character from a side view angle. I've always drawn them faceing forward or slightly to the side. I know the face is a little long but I don't think it looks too bad. The quote is from an early episode of Fullmetal Alchemist. I couldn't put the whole thing in there but it goes:

"When I was certain he was going to kill me, my mind went blank, and I didn't have any hope anymore. All I could do was scream my lungs out. I felt so helpless, I couldn't even bring myself to believe someone might save me. And then you showed up Al, and I realized that if we don't take care of each other then no one else will. So I'll do anything in my power to get our bodies back, even if it means being the militaries lap dog. And we'll just have to hope our powers are good enough to help us rise above our own limits. Because we're not Gods, we're humans, tiny insignificant humans. Who couldn't even save a little girl."

I really like that line. Well I really hope you like the pic.

I do not in ANY way claim fullmetal alchemist or it's characters. This is just fanart.
