Artist Comment
This vector is a gift, just like Toki wo Kizamu Uta, but this time it is for a friend who is not here on MT. She's a fan of FMA, so I decided to dedicate this vector to her.
When I saw the original scan (linked below), I knew that I would do something with it one day or another. Then, some weeks ago, I stumbled upon it while I was searching for new scans to vector on my HDD. Well, it was impossible for me to ignore the call of that picture; I simply love it, and since the scan was pretty big, but was cursed with jpeg artifacts, I thought that to have a "better" version available would be awesome, and that people would maybe like to do wallpapers with it. The original final result was bigger, but since Minitokyo has a size restriction, I had to resize it.
The title is "Cold Flame, Hot Metal" because of the opposition between fire and steel, and between cold ant hot. Also, this is a kind of interpretation of the characters : even though Roy is the Flame Alchemist, he is usually calm and collected while Ed is more impulsive.
And now, the technical details :
Original scan : This
scan, on moe.imouto.org
Extracted PNG : Available on
Render-Graphiques or here. (*UPDATE* : it seems
that both Render-Graphqiues and tinypic resized the PNG version... I can give you the original one, who is 3953x4673 if
you need it; just ask ;) )
Total time : 20 hours, including 1 hour lost with Photoshop crashing...
Easier parts : Coloring! When I was sick and tired of lineart, I was coloring it in order to change my mind (usually,
I’m more methodic :P).
Harder parts : The lineart. It wasn’t that hard… it’s only that I used to do it by tracing a path, and then the
“Stroke path” option. It was my first attempt at doing lineart using “Fill Path” or Vector masks (like what I
use for the coloring). The lines are therefore far from perfect in my opinion, but I’ll welcome any suggestions since
I hope to improve myself.
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS5.
PSD Size : 66.6 MB
Number of Layers : 59 (2 for the lineart, 1 for the background, the rest for the coloring)
And, a progress pic
NOTE : DO NOT upload elsewhere and claim it as your own work. Please credit if used, and send me a link to your work
(either in my guestbook or by MP); I would love to see what you did!
