(edit: darkened the highlights on his pants in favour of the alchemist watch chain)

Hah, got you, FMA fans, didn't I? *coughs* Seeing that many people still write Alucard as "Arucard", I couldn't help but use that "joke" . (Either write Arukaado or Alucard, it's dracula backwards BTW .) (for all those who only think "huh??": Aru is also "Al", Ed's brother, just the Japanese way of writing it)

Been thinking about Char-similarities after reading a post on the Birds of Hermes forum (Hellsing) in which someone asked if ppl could see a pattern in their list of favourite chars. I usually like the kinda funny ones, or those who have more to them than meets the eye.
I will spare you the details why I like those two , but they have prreetty clothes and a cool hairstyle .
This was supposed to be a funny pic though, with Alu being mega-tall (should be probably even taller here) and Ed the shrimp he is (someone recently reported that in a book Arakawa says he's only 140cm, WTF). Apart from that Hellsing and FMA aren' that different, the Alchemy reference on Alucard's coffin (I am the Bird of Hermes...) *g*, the reason why Alucard can't die easily and why the Homunculus can't, Ed's Alu cosplay in some later episode (sunglasses dark hair) ...and that: [link]

I don't know what to do against that white space, I really tried, adding Alu-smoke-thingy-swirls, but . The lines are too thick as well since it's based on ink-lineart and *sighs* those cartoony pics take the longest, I think I could go on forever correcting a line here and there. Edward's shadow is smaller on purpose *g*, also because he's in a different angle to the viewer. I shaded Alu's boots similar to the manga, which looks kinda odd here...
I wish both their details in the eyes would come out better in that size ...
