Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 character reference sheets

hyuai dynamic in my delusion world. riza didn't really like hughes at first because she wasn't used to such a cheerful personality, and also kinda judged him for building a family after all they've done, but she eventually warms up to him. on the other hand hughes always liked her and enjoys telling her about his family because she's a very good listener :^) did you know hughes calls her "riza-chan" in one of the fma games i think that's important

The foreshadowing in this show was amazing

FMA sketches by Ace Attorney's character designer, Iwamoto Tatsuro

For the past week, Iwamoto-san has been posting sketches of FMA characters on his twitter as a part of his daily sketching challenge and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

I really want to share his art over here and also translate his posts for you all because I think his commentaries are quite insightful for people who are interested in character design!

[Those who know their AA lore would recognize him as who voiced Edgeworth (Mitsurugi) in the games :3]

Anyways, below are his FMA sketches he's shared on twitter so far! (Contains: Ed, Hughes, Kimblee, Mustang, Breda) You can click on the dates to see their original post. I will add to this post if he shares any more sketches, it seems that he has been on an FMA roll xD

If you draw your favourite things out you will know them better! So, this is Edward Elric from #FullmetalAlchemist.

Even if you have decided on the pose you want to draw, it is better to sketch out these three first:

the moment before the pose is struck

the pose itself

the moment after the pose is struck

then decide which image works better for your art. I learned this from a really great senior of mine, and it is very solid advice.

29/11/2023 (Translator's note: I decided to move this one to the top because it is my favourite. No I don't accept criticism.)

I have been drawing Ed's automail again.

I like it when the machine part has a distinctly different silhouette compared to the human body, so I added some original ideas to the design.

What design should I draw next? Perhaps I should draw the military uniform?

Again, it is the time of "drawing your favourite things to know them better!"

It feels so good to draw such great characters...

My Photoshop has been crashing for mysterious reasons the whole morning, and I tried to troubleshoot in the afternoon and it was a PAIN. Computers are really difficuuuuuuuult--

Iwamoto-style drawing Masterclass: Bonus!

It is the "Give the leather and metal items a bit of flare/shine to immediately make the drawing look more complete"-jutsu!

I wanted the clothes to give off an oversized, loose impression.

Canon Hughes didn't seem to be wearing a shirt underneath... hmm.

03/12/2023

I am beginning to understand the structure of the military uniform better...

Realising the butt flap/cape didn’t actually connect to the upper jacket is a shocker to me.

A continuation of yesterday's sketch

...or so I thought, until I realized how King Bradley and Kimblee during the Ishval war had a different overcoat design, in which they actually wore a single long coat instead of a separated upper and bottom set.

When his clothes were unbuttoned, there was something that looked like an additional button on his right chest... I wonder if it could be fastened from the back?

(Translator's note: sorry, I have no idea what button he's referring to here lol)

I like how each character's personality was expressed through the way they dress. Contrary to his appearance, this person was very intelligent, which makes him such a great character.

[wardensantoineandevka]

genuinely, the best thing about Roy and Hughes' friendship is that Roy is a brutal pragmatist who is haughty, ruthless, and often cold and Hughes is a goofball who is always friendly, cheerful, and welcoming, but Roy is the hopeful idealist and Hughes is the cynical realist

FMA Babies!

[foxprincessknight]

In Fullmetal Alchemist, at Maes Hughes's funeral, Mustang comments how "it's a horrible day for rain" despite the sunny weather, as an excuse for his tears. That in itself is great, and is a good moment between Roy and Riza. However, you can't take it further. Throughout the show it is commented on how Mustang is useless in the rain. The rain and sprinklers are the only two times Mustang is limited and not a powerhouse.

This is all to say that Roy called himself useless at his best friend's funeral. And he probably was thinking of a million ways how he could have possibly prevented his death.

Whether Arakawa intended it or not, I think it adds to the moment.

Cannot believe mustang thought this shit would work.

[Image ID: Roy Mustang from Fullmetal alchemist is standing before Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric. He is saying "Yeah we sent Maes to live on a farm in Xing. A farm with lots of land. and homunculi for him to chase all he wants." with a guilty expression. Riza Hawkeye stands slightly behind him giving him an exasperated expression. /.End ID]

[g1ngerbeer]

in the version of fma in my head where hughes survives, i dont think mustang would let him out the door unless he was wearing at LEAST 5 layers of bubble wrap and a bulletproof vest
