downhillcarver: Example A: Major Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist. He cared as much about the beauty of a well trained body, as he did about true usable strength. He was convinced that the sight of his perfect body, would inspire his troops. He gave technique a very slight emphasis over brute force, managing to defeat stronger enemies through a combination of technique and strength. ———— Example B: Sig Curtis from Fullmetal Alchemist Sig does hard physical labor day in and day out at the butcher shop he owns, this apparently provides plenty of exercise on its own. He is never mentioned as one to train his body, but as the husband of “Teacher” Izumi (the “sensei” character of the series), we can assume he participates in physical training.  ———— As a result, when they finally see each other fight, Sig is impressed by Armstrong’s strength and skill, but Armstrong is completely stunned by Sig’s sheer strength. Both are impressive body types, but one wins out in terms of practicality.  Every once in a while, this post gets a burst of new reblogs, and I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. View high resolution

I learned a lot from my first fountain pen sketch, here’s my second attempt. View high resolution

I learned a lot from my first fountain pen sketch, here’s my second attempt.

fuckyeahqueerfolk: downhillcarver: My first attempt at sketching with fountain pens. I based it very closely on an amazing piece I found on deviant art. That’s fairly good, for being done with a Snorkel. What ink did you use for the blue? BSAR was a very nice choice for the jacket. I actually didn’t expect this to get any attention! I’ll post my second fountain pen sketch so you can see it, I’m much more proud of that one. Actually, I used the BSAR for the tie. For the jacket, I used Waterman Absolute Brown. As for the blue… I used one blue for the vest, and another for the tear, I can’t remember which is which, but they were Noodlers Turquoise and Chelpark Turquoise Blue. You can see the tear is just slightly lighter than the vest. Good eye on the Snorkel there! I actually only used the snorkel for the Absolute Brown, I used the dip pen next to it for all the other colors. I think I’ll revisit this sketch at a later date, on nicer paper. I learned a lot from my second sketch that I’m gonna try to apply to it all in the future. View high resolution
