Nothing ground breaking you say ? o_0
oh wow... I'm really surprised on how you look down to your own zkills <_<
This wall is teh l33t... not only because FMA manga walls are rare, but also because of the flawless vector rebuilds of
the original scan...
now, stop saying that this is a throwaway wall, because it doesn't look like one ^_^'
Splendid job as usual, Tama!

A quick wallpaper to get back into the swing of things, nothing really special here. I liked the scan of the folks from Xing because, well, I like the folks from
Xing. Especially Ling. And everyone by now knows of my penchant for walling lesser known or less favorite characters -
what better way than to wall some manga-only characters? Since the folks from Xing are searching for immortality, I
titled the wall "A Quest for Eternity". Frankly, they sort of remind me of the "Journey to the West"
legends with the monkey king and all.
Basically it was a lot of cleanup of text, repositioning Ling so he appeared closer to the others, an extension of the
pipes in the scan to make a horizontal layout, some light texturing using default Photoshop textures, and some text.
I know, I know. ZOMG another freakin' FMA wall. I'm tired of them too... but I have a lot of wallpaper ideas
in mind: Gankutsuou, walls for the Doujinshi contest winners, Utena, a Bebop wall for AnimePaper's contest, Kino no
Tabi... this is just filler, really. A throwaway wall. The same old. Nothing ground breaking here. That'll just
have to wait.
Dedicated to CsakuraS, LJ friend and recently translator of the ZOMG Fruit Tree Alchemists team that's been putting
out scanslations of the most recent FMA manga chapters.
EDIT: You know, I wondered if this day would come, that my reputation for vectors would lead folks to assume I vector everything... well, I don't, and there isn't a single vector, not even a tiny path, used in this wallpaper. This is pure Photoshop clone tool, and a few other tricks I have up my sleeve for image reconstruction.

Neat. I always loved this image. The people from Xing are awsome (I'm a fan of Lan Fan myself). And this is a cool wallpaper. Thanks for taking the time to make this :D

Lovely work tama, simple yet the texture goes wall in this..love the browns an greys! Its like theyre tight in a hot spot but since theres no vectors then its still a great job :)

I like the perspective in this one. You find yourself peering over his shoulder to see the other characters and looks right out the back ^__^ .

Hehe~ nice image reconstruct. XD Though you can see where it's happened (it's less hairy <lol> XD). Yay for side side characters! The only other thing I'll say is maybe hit the text up with a bit of skew to fit with the pipes' perspective? But that's inconsequential. Nice wall, for a filler. ;)

I love your descriptions, really, always so detailed and loooong. The wallpaper excellent, I like the texture a lot - gives the wallpaper an impression of being drawn and not made using special effects...

This is really nicely done and I also really like how the wallpeper looks as if it was drawn w/o any special effects. Plus those cahrys are the best in the manga! ^-^

A Ling wall! It would've been cool if Ling were in the anime- but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

I wouldn't have any problem with other FMA walls, in fact, I'd be over the clouds! I've been going through your gallery and I'm like "WOW! WHAT TALENT!" Honestly, your works are awesome. Especially the perspective here in this piece made me go "squeal!" like a Ling fangirl. Keep up the good work! I'd be honored to see more of your work.
