I've been known as The Angst Maven for most of my life due to the fact that I can handle angst that would possibly kill most normal humans.
You don't need blood and gore to make something angsty - you can use it, of course - but the angst I like best is situational; the kind where you pause to take a breath and the image that you take in suddenly freezes your heart....
THAT'S the kind of angst I like.
Anyway, I've been obsessing over this single scene that was never shown in the anime or manga and yet we know must have happened. In other fandoms, I've written these kinds of events into fanfics - but with FMA:B, and the lovely new wacom tablet I got, I can illustrate them!
The neatest thing is, I thought it would be difficult to get the look of the character right, but unlike live humans who have a million planes, angles and shapes that you must get right in order to capture them, all these anime characters have is a couple of lines! And if you didn't get it right the first time, the computer lets you move that line until you do! No smudges, no eraser burnouts and no wearing through the page! How cool is that?
Obviously, the characters portrayed in this work of fan art are not mine and all rights are reserved to

Thank you, Arakawa-shi.
And thank you for taking a peek.

Kinda reminds me of my angsty pic of Ed where he's trapped in Gluttony's belly about to be swallowed by Envy.
Ooo! I have one of those too! Except I used a screen cap for the background and I was told you couldn't post those kinds of things here. I've got it on my dA account though, if you're interested in seeing it. Ver, ver angsy!
This illo goes with my fanfic of the same name. It's a gap filler for that stretch when Ed's been skewered by the i-beam and when he shows up healed again. You just KNOW there was angst there to be had!
Here's a link if you're interested -
