A quick sketch and shading practice of Edward and Winry backlit by the moon ~ (turns out being an adult didnt mean he hyperfixation and fandom love ever went away - it meant that you will draw fanart during your lunch break at your office job. Surprise!)

getting to witness my beloved partner E return to a book series that meant so much to him as a kid is such a joy. We get to talk about our shared roots of being the book worm kid and what it was that brought us so much comfort while reading - sometimes even safety from life around us. Getting to talk about the books, the childhoods and the joys has brought us closer.

hey there 13 year old Maria, I am reading so many books that you would love. I am reading just as many books now as you had been. I am getting inspired by these stories just like you would. Thank you for sharing in these books with me. Thank you for loving reading.

*reappears after 2 weeks of hellish fever*

I fell off of my FMAbruary streak, and worse yet, I am also behind on my contribution towards our Let's transmute something together event! ah! But the gracious mod @rene-of-the-blackouts has given me (and my partner) a generous extension. Now that I am finally able to hold a thought in my head, I wanted to share these teasers for my what will be my contribution to the event! @deaddovehasbeeneaten and I were partnered thanks to our mutual love for Noah; her Romani character; her deep hope; her rich but unexplored background, and the opportunity to reimagine her powers. From our discussions I followed my inspiration, began to research and have been working on four tarot-style card illustrations that will explore Noah. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!

Thank you and congratulations to all the other participants who have been flooding the fandom with this collaborative project!

Sun and Moon | Life and Death |Mother and Child | Fire and Water

I am so compelled and inspired by the way the writers explored the concept of sloth through Trisha, through the elrics and through the narrative. 2003 will always have my heart

[bees-and-spice]

Trisha Elric for my day 9 of FMAbruary challenge. A young, beautiful and caring mother. She was a sun and a source of life for the brothers, and I’m sure her boys were a sunshine in her life, too.

The concepts of pregnancy and motherhood in 2003 were so interesting - especially explored through Trisha/Sloth

[bees-and-spice]

2003!sloth is the supreme homunculus . The sorrow. The poetic symmetry. The sick ass water powers.

~ Day 8 ~

"Foolish alchemists who have turned their backs on the ways of God...all shall be punished."

Day 7: Blood

Another piece done in a style of blockprinting. These were great fun!

[bees-and-spice]

If the day's prompt is automail, you know the Gearhead Herself 👑 has to be featured !!

The unseen interactions between Winry and 03!Wrath fascinate me: lets talk about it

I have been playing around with a different style with this piece - much more reminiscent of block printing (a type of printmaking that where you carve away the negative space, leaving the parts of the block that will be inked and pressed to create a print. One of my favorite art forms!). The making of this piece, even digitally, was very similar to how you carve a block.

Another Martel, since it is year of the snake after all! 🐍☀️🔪

Day 4 is desert, and this was another colour palette challenge for me.

[bees-and-spice]

Days spent alone, keeping bloody secrets, and just trying to imagine a future where he will be remembered

Back to my roots with this one: making my FMA03 boys miserable ~

Day 3 snow was a fun challenge. Continuing to figure out some animation with procreate tools. Expect more!

me when i spend a long time drawing something that really does not look good at all and is honestly too ugly to want to share with anybody but i still recognize that it was worth the time and effort because i still gained practice and experience from it that will contribute toward improving my skills

[ID: a doodle of a person slumped over a drawing of a flower, giving a thumbs up with big wet eyes and a pained expression.]

Another day another art challenge from the prompts! Day 2: travel.

Winry leaving Rush Valley and Paninya seeing her off! The female friendships that could be seen in the background of FMA always warmed my heart. (Although, if you ship these ladies, I’m with you friend 🔥 )

Wiped out my ruler for this one and had fun playing with perspective blurring. However, this file is so low res because of that blurring and perspective…my procreate file crashed and all that survived was this screenshot from the playback video 🥲

[bees-and-spice]

First day of the FMAbruary challenge! Day 1: cross over

I’ve got a few lovely ppl on my dash who share FMAxHP, specifically Draco and Ed. So here’s to you 🥂 cheers to you and to these two angsty, angry blonde bois

I had a lot of fun with the colour palette and textures in this piece - more painted than my usual stuff. But then my procreate file crashed and all that survived was this screenshot from the playback video 🥲
