Papercraft Ed! I had the sketch for this one finished a while ago, but for whatever reason didn’t feel quite happy with it. Eventually I tried flipping it to face the opposite way - meaning his automail arm was now facing the viewer and could be shown via rips in his clothes and gloves - and then BAM, I liked how it looked after all! Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make all the difference.

I was looking forward to it! But buying the whole manga would be pretty expensive#so I kept putting it off#UNTIL!#USED BOOKSTORE TO THE RESCUE ONCE AGAIN!!!#they had the ENTIRE SERIES for a STEAL and I straight-up gasped aloud in the manga aisle#carried everything up to the counter at once like I was weightlifting because WHAT IF I left a volume behind and someone else snagged it#TOO RISKY#and then read the whole series in two days#and. Dear readers you were ALL correct#fma fucking SLAPS
