Big Bang post 3

[dzioo]

another, and not final post for my this year's story at fmabigbang, [Arcanum Paterfamilias]
PLEASE, LEAVE THE AUTHORS SOME FEEDBACK!! their story is really awesome and it pains me that they get almost no comments! I know it's technically about a secondary character and there are a lot of OCs and difficult and unfamiliar vocabulary but please! give it a try!




"Shit!" Edward curled up and the panther coiled, leaping at the horse. Akilah danced aside, swinging his barrel around the central tent pole, then reared with the squeal of an enraged stallion. The horse plunged down with both front hooves as Edward rolled under the loose edge of the tent. The panther screamed, and Edward knew the blow had struck home.

it's a fanfiction in an FMA universe. and I'd be seriously ill if I didn't put Ed in at least one illustration.
a night picture taking place during an assault. the background was rather difficult to draw, because there are big contrasts between light in the tent and night around it, but also very small contrasts between the sky and faraway land. also, this was the first picture in which I truly used digital lineart, and used it to emphasis light from different sources. I hope it works.

We don't mind pilfering!

I know the feeling of finding oneself accidentally "borrowing" story elements from whatever I happen to be reading. Neither I nor fractured_chaos would mind, so long as we got credited! We've already told multiple people they're free to use the Ishvaran Glossary we've come up with for Arcanum and my solo fic Estvarya. We just crave commentary, as most writers and artists do!

Dzioo is breathtaking, isn't she? Even her sketches make me squee!

Hee! I know what you mean about craving commentary. I definitely plan on checking them both out when the Elemental Chess Trilogy is finished, which it will be by next week, so you can anticipate some serious commentary from me because I love to give it!

Oh yes, I remember your Flowers of Antimony, and loved that. I need to get caught up, now. XD

Oh, yay! (Name recognition always surprises me a little.) Yeah, it's got two sequels, the second of which is still being written. I'm so glad you enjoyed FoA, I hope you enjoy the other two as well!
