ed -- smile for me

For some reason, I feel like I'm regressing at watercolors, ROFL. At any rate, scanner raped the colors, and this was the best I could get to making it look like the original. I hope it's alright. 0:

So, this is a shamefully belated Christmas present for my friend Shippou~ of Ed from FMA. To tell the truth, I originally envisioned a totally different composition, color scheme, everything, but I was desperate to get a new image up on DA (since I scrapped the other one out of horror XD) and I realized that my initial design would take me at least 6 hours to accomplish... >: normally this wouldn't be a problem, but since my next update won't be until July (...not that that's any different from what usually happens, haha!) I figured I had to finish something. :3;;

And why do all my backgrounds look the same?!?! DDDDDD: Plus, I think I am growing too dependent on bleedproof white ink. I used to never use it before... ._. weak! I'm weak! TT^TT;

Fullview will endear you to me.
