Comic Cover Contest: Fullmetal Alchemist + ER

in #steemit-webcomics5 years ago (edited)

The contest hosted by @cobmaximus is quite funny. It's been a while since I found his contests and I wanted to participate in one of the comic cover contests (however I either didn't have the time or I couldn't relate to the previous covers (unfortunately I missed Naruto T_T ))


My entry for his current #steemit-webcomics contest on Fullmetal Alchemist + emergency room is the following crossover fan cover:
FMA + ER final_.jpg
FULLMETAL INTERNIST

  • Have you seen Sarah Connor?
  • Are you taking your pills?

Contest details:

- Theme: Emergency room
I had the same idea as @cobmaximus which he posted in the contest description:
"The way is putting his glove on kinda looks like how a doctor would put on his glove just before an emergency operation. I can already see something like a doctor and a patient gravely injured in the back. [...] These are some ideas of what you can draw getting inspired by the cover and the ER theme."
However I've taken the idea of "Emergency Room" a littele bit different :D
- Cover: Fullmetal Alchemist, as seen here:

The process: step by step

  1. step: draw Clooney's face (reference: Wilson Santos' sketch blog )
  2. step: draw the rest of Dr. Ross
  3. step: paint Dr. Ross
  4. step: draw Terminator ( reference )
  5. step: paint Termie
  6. step: some highlights and shadows for the metallic skull
  7. step: background -.-

Hahahah cool cover, @yardne :D I like the idea very much :D So creative :D

Thank you :) It's the contest which spurs creativity ^^

Beautiful comic cover @yardne, the emergency of Dr Ross is to repaired the terminator :P?
It very cool way on how you present this drawing with an animation and a link on steps by steps drawing. Dr Ross was very outstanding with his blue shirt. You took how long to complete this cover?

Thanks! :)
Yes, maybe Dr. Ross will repair the poor Terminator who is missing his skin and is perhaps severly injured :P
I like to animate the process, it shows very well the development.
Hm.. I don't know exactly, but it were several evenings(+ nights that followed)

hehehe terminator with skin @yardne. I love your imagination. I do agreed animate the process could show the process better than using image.

Hm.. I don't know exactly, but it were several evenings(+ nights that followed)

But the hard work paid off with the curie vote. You really deserve it.

Hey @yardne! Thanks for sharing this. I love the .gif that shows the step by step process. It's always cool to see art come together like that.

I had to laugh out loud when I saw George Cloonie's face with The Terminator. Hahaha I think it's a great satire approach to the cover. And youv'e done fantastic job drawing both! About how long did it take you?

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed reading through your post and examining your step by step. Cheers!

Hey @jocqua, thank you! :)
Yea, I like to animate the process, imho it shows very well the development.
Hehe, I thought of who could be the doctor putting the glove on, then suddenly it was clear, the contest theme suggest it already: Emergency Room! The series "ER" has to be featured and thererfore the Dr. had to be Ross ^^
Well, I would say it were several evenings (+ into the nights, sometimes).

I'm constantly amazed by how much time people put into their stuff. Like in a very good way. I just love the dedication people have, or you have, to get that stuff done. I'm sure people would think the same about the amount of time I put into videos or pictures but still, I like acknowledging. I love that drive people have to get good out art. It's awesome.

Keep up the awesome work!

Unreal!! Man you're really a great artist! I thought initially that you were just drawing on top of some reference drawings, but by looking at the step by step I can see you really draw everything! That's amazing

Thank you @cobmaximus!
However I have to admit that it is the way you intitally thought: I've traced/copy the reference by drawing on a layer on top of the reference :/
It is not in the step-by-step animation because otherwiese the gif would have to show much more steps... I am pretty bad at portraying, that's the reason :D

haha well that's fine, is a way to loose the hand and pay more attention to details :)

That's a pretty witty way to draw a concept. I think I would also approach the same angle given I recently rewatched FMA for the 3rd time. Just one of those classic anime that led me to liking more anime.

Thank you :)
Well, I must admit, I watched it pretty late. It was last year and therefore one of the latest animes I've watched completely.
I liked the concept of the alchemy in that world aaand I loved some characters from the anime... And then they died in both versions -.-

Good work @yardne. The artwork reflects great thought and insight. Expertly delivered.

Thank you @tolustx, it has taken some time. but also it was fun to draw :)

Hehehe what a fun interpretation of Fullmetal Alchemist cover. I think I might prefer yours even XD.
                       
Congratulations for your curie vote :).

Whoa whoa! Thanks ^^
A curie vote has a pretty high significance, hasn't it? I haven't had many of them (did I ever receive one? I guess not :D ), therefore unfortunately I do not know much about it ...

I like how you describe your process :) Few points and few words. Clear and to the point :D I like your gif. It's like your process - clear and to the point. I must say that your George Clooney looks better than real George Clooney. I'm sure he doesn't read that so I can openly say the truth :D

Oh and I love the 'Hasta la Vista babe' on Terminator's t-shirt. You were thinking about those tiny details - great job!

I wonder what kind of procedure is Clooney going to do on Terminator. I hope it won't hurt him :D

I like your entry to the contest :) Thank you for sharing! Have a great weekend!

hehe thanks :)

clear and to the point

I am just lazy :P

I must say that your George Clooney looks better than real George Clooney

:DDD Thanks! However my gf said the opposite -.-

For sure, "hasta la vista" is a must! There is no way I'd let something like this out of a picture featuring Termie. Either this one-liner or "I'll be back" :D

I wonder what kind of procedure is Clooney going to do on Terminator. I hope it won't hurt him :D

I don't think he ever could hurt him :D

P.S.: Have a great week! Sorry for the late response, I've run out of ressource credits -.-

The cover you made is very interesting. The metallic skull subject gives a rough touch to the cover hahaha. And the name "Full metal internist" I liked very much, your illustration is very much in agreement with that name. And the serious and calm face of the doctor is the best, it looks as if thousands of operations were performed before that.

:D thanks! It was pretty hard for me to find a punny caption/title, since I am not a native speaker and therefore do not know the eligible medical job titles.

And the serious and calm face of the doctor is the best, it looks as if thousands of operations were performed before that

I am just bad at portraying :D

I do not actually think that the base photo is of a doctor who is about to perform on his patient. Why, the Fullmetal Alchemist's eyes are blazing? How can that be a doctor looking at his dying patient? 😃

Your George Clooney version certainly looks like a doctor with gentleness for his patient. You are very clever to have related the theme to terminator. I like the contrast of neat-looking gentle Dr. Ross versus Termie's bravado.

Very good work of art! Thanks for sharing it here.

I am just bad at portraying, therefore the face looks neutral :D

The relation to Terminator happened due to the fact, Termie is pretty much one of the few characters that are made of metal. Hence the resulting contrast of a medic VS a killer machine was rather an accident :D

That was a very artistic accident though. Nice one! 😊

hahahahaha you have seen Sarah Connor that really made my day. I like the fusion and composition of a different cover, you have great talent to adapt that not everyone gets it.

hear you use illustrator? i like the step by step, from the sketch to how you gave the details to terminator and the emergency room doctor.

Thank you for sharing very professional and comica publication.

Greetings

hahahahaha you have seen Sarah Connor that really made my day

Maybe the Terminator is confused, believes to see S. Connor everywhere (hallucination) and for this reason needs a doctor :D

No, I use GIMP.
However right now I am trying to get along with MediBang Paint Pro and ...what was it again?... Ah, Krita. Those 2 are open source software and specialised in manga drawings.

Thank you for your kind words ;)

Fullmetal Alchemist is a phenomenal show so I find this crossover very amusing 😂

Thank you :) FMA was indeed pretty intersting.
Well, I tried to be funny and Im lucky it went well :D

REally good idea, I have watched both and they are my favorite. It is difficult to imagine ER without Clooney and legendary Terminator with T600 and Sarah Connor. Great composition, like the way you created the characters, nice to see your sketch and it was interesting to learn the idea behind it that inspired you. I wish you good luck :)

hehe thank you :)
It was just that the terminator is one of the few well known characters made of metal. I couldn't think of many other. And the terminator does not match Clooney at all, therefore it was a good match for a crossover :D

Hahah you guys are crazy :D suupercool idea...I'd love to see a contest being held on Naruto or Bleach series. I loved them soooo much.

Great work, wish u luck in the contest and congratz on the biig upvotes :)

Hmm, I take "crazy" as "funny" ;D
Yea, Naruto would be cool, but i missed it -.-
Unfortunately Bleach is a series I havent watch until now, but a friend did recommend me the anime... Gonna watch it some day :)
Yesss, thank you, the votes surprised me :D

hahaha! howdy there yardne! this is hilarious just looking at this cover, very clever to have George Clooney as the doctor! lol. This is great, kudos to everyone involved, I think you should go ahead and do a full comic book!
