1280x1024 Wallpaper
Meh. A textured wallpaper.
This wallie is probably the most tiresome and hardest one that I've drawn so far, since it features a scenic
background with lot of elements that need to be drawn (excluding the scan of course). Anyway, this will be my last
scenic for a little while, I have got exams coming up at university and when I'll be done with them I might use a
different style for the next wallpaper just because I don't want to get bored, eh.
As you can see it's a perspective bg, I actually drew the pathway according to the same perspective that is also used in the original scan. The hardest and most-time consuming part of the background was the grass, since it covers a very huge part of the wallpaper and it had to be drawn following perspective as well, I had to draw and retouch it so many times that I've lost the count, lol. After all that I then applied a texture all over the wallie to make it look like a painted drawing of some kind (the texture used can be found at resurgere.deviantart.com)
Lastly, some info for the nerds who roam around MT:
Layers: 261 (yes you read it correctly, 261 [with the rocks added] damn layers... I think I've went on a frenzy
when I drew this, lol)
Hours spent: a lot (actually 3 days of activity)
Size of the psd: 361,7M (like... omg.)
Last but not least, I want to sincerly thank Einna, Sammo, Angelette, MadWiz and all the people on the irc channel who
followed my work in progress and tortured me to death to draw as much corrcect as possible the bg (lol xD).
[Edit] I've edited the title, following OracleAngel's suggestion.
[Edit2]following everybody's input, I've adjusted ed's vertical perspective, I've managed to draw
some stones and little rocks all over the road and to make it look dirtier (added puddles as well) and I've
adjusted the tree size to a more realistic dimension, still according to the perspective. Thank you everyboy for your
precious comments.

[17:54] <MadWiz> einna: the rock.. the bottom right most one.. shadow looks wrong~ and the house at the back
should not be blurrer than the mountain or seemingly blurrer.. as messenger to shinn: pass this =p

Trees are so kawaii XD sho round-ish :3 hehehe
pathway, rocks, puddle and the cottage looked perfect, wonderful job on that!

A very nice wallpaper. I really need to add you to my friendslist so I get notified of this stuff :p Keep up the good work ShiNN!
well, all that time you spent on was definitely well worth it. this looks really good. the background looks great. ^^ but ed does look a little funny, but i guess that he would have to be textured to fit the rest of the wall ^^ great job!
Not bad Not bad at all. I like it!!! The background is very nice. Adding to favs!!!
Edward Elric looks back before the great journey begins. Elric will find a cure....
wow that really is an amazing pic... i mean the whole texture and the awy iy looks its easy to see uve spent a lot of time on this picture
I'm sure that texturing was a pain in the rear end, but man is it cool. The background is wonderful. I'm not sure I like the birds...at least not the ones flying in the V, but wow, this is one beautiful wallpaper.
Can't go wrong with Full Metal Alchemist. One of my favorite animes. I love the perspective.
This is a really nice wallpaper. Ed is very cool and I like that this shows his emotions about leaving. This wallpaper focuses on the character really well. The background adds to it but doesn't distract you.
Allright! This is awesome wall!
Fullmetal Alchemist rulz :D
This awesome wall had to be in my favs!
considering this is an old wall from you, i'd still would love to comment. :)

i like the view feels very relax :D :D :D
on that day you left, I just waved good bye as usual
as if we were to meet again in this city
to believe in love is to not lose to myself
until my wish comes true, I'll remain with a smile
and look at the stars, praying, and will be here
I want to be the sky for you
even enveloping all of your pains
whenever I look up, I want to feel
that I'm not alone even if I'm far away
let there be a place I can return to
I'm still living happily in this city without you
because I feel that that's the one thing I can do now
there's a hidden meaning to all things that happen
I hope you'll remain yourself even if your dream begins to vanish
because I'll always be here
it's okay even if you're not strong enough to erase all tears
after you rest your tired heart
wish for a better tomorrow and fall asleep
like the young children
this vast world is connected
the white clouds will flow and turn into wind to reach you
will my voice reach you?
I couldn't say those overflowing feelings for you
I want to be the sky for you
even enveloping all of your pains
whenever I look up, I want to feel
that I'm not alone even if I'm far away
let there be a place I can return to
let there be a place I can return to
i think the grass and trees are very beautiful~ they look so very soft~
