past and present

This popped into my head while I was reading Fullmetal Alchemist.

The one on the right is, of course, Ed Elric, and the one on the left is, you guessed it, VAN HOENHEIM!(when he was young, of course. )

in case you haven't noticed, Hoenheim was a slave back then.

It was a little difficult to keep them at the same height, and Hoenheim's feet were KILLING ME!!!

.....I wanted to "touch up" Ed's spear a little bit, cause I wanted some of his personality to take place a little more with how he loves to put some of his touch into objects.

"......What? this looks totally BADA$$!" -Ed

*sigh* Ed always loves detail....AND SO DO I!!!!
Don't like it? TOO BAD!

anyway, yes, that is Ed's coat tied around his waist.

........I don't think Ed sould be so mad at his father, well, he did get his looks from him.......

Grrr....Ed's automail didn't come out shiny.
