Presenting my FMA OC: Melitta Sten.

Half-Ishvalan State Alchemist, known as the Wraith Alchemist, she specialises in sublimation, vaporisation, and condensation. She can aerosolise almost any substance with an alchemical array engraved on silver rings she wears.

A German/West European-coded fantasy kingdom that is extremely militant but rather benign to the average citizen (Dwendalian Empire/Amestris).

The strong arm of the kingdom’s military might are the mage-soldiers that are specifically trained to be the attack dogs (Volstrucker/State Alchemists).

They are constantly having border conflicts, especially with the dark-skinned, fair-haired, red-eyed monotheistic denizens of the wasteland to their east (Xhorasians/Ishvalans).

These conflicts are used as an excuse to facilitate the creation of magic weapons capable of incredible power (Dunamis/Philosopher Stones).

And unbeknownst to the civilians, their leader is actually a puppet, and the true master pulling the strings is unfathomably old and a survivor of one of the worst cataclysms known in modern times (Ludinus Daleth/Father)—

After Mustang gets his sight back from the philosophers stone, what if he got ishvalan eyes

Last post of 2022! I finally go around to finishing the art raffle for 1k followers on Twitter. Thanks to @captainodonnell for requesting Scar! FMA was one of the first manga I followed over its serialized run, and it has remained one of my favourites. It influenced me as an artist much more than I've probably realized!

The story goes like

Riza's hiding spot was compromised when a female ishvalan saw her. She immediately shot the person's chest. The woman started wailing and crying her lungs out so Riza tried to shot her again thinking she just missed, only to find out that there was no bullet and she needed to reload.

Something something yada yada

A different sniper shot the woman in the head killing her

Then followed next day, she went back to the place where the woman's body is only to find out that there was a dead baby covered in cloth on top of her chest.

Riza realized that all the wailing and crying that the ishvalan did was because it was her baby that was shot.

I forgot the other details, but yeah something like that
