FMA sketches by Ace Attorney's character designer, Iwamoto Tatsuro

For the past week, Iwamoto-san has been posting sketches of FMA characters on his twitter as a part of his daily sketching challenge and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

I really want to share his art over here and also translate his posts for you all because I think his commentaries are quite insightful for people who are interested in character design!

[Those who know their AA lore would recognize him as who voiced Edgeworth (Mitsurugi) in the games :3]

Anyways, below are his FMA sketches he's shared on twitter so far! (Contains: Ed, Hughes, Kimblee, Mustang, Breda) You can click on the dates to see their original post. I will add to this post if he shares any more sketches, it seems that he has been on an FMA roll xD

If you draw your favourite things out you will know them better! So, this is Edward Elric from #FullmetalAlchemist.

Even if you have decided on the pose you want to draw, it is better to sketch out these three first:

the moment before the pose is struck

the pose itself

the moment after the pose is struck

then decide which image works better for your art. I learned this from a really great senior of mine, and it is very solid advice.

29/11/2023 (Translator's note: I decided to move this one to the top because it is my favourite. No I don't accept criticism.)

I have been drawing Ed's automail again.

I like it when the machine part has a distinctly different silhouette compared to the human body, so I added some original ideas to the design.

What design should I draw next? Perhaps I should draw the military uniform?

# (combined two posts because they’re the progression of the same piece.) #

Again, it is the time of "drawing your favourite things to know them better!"

It feels so good to draw such great characters...

27/11/2023

My Photoshop has been crashing for mysterious reasons the whole morning, and I tried to troubleshoot in the afternoon and it was a PAIN. Computers are really difficuuuuuuuult--

Iwamoto-style drawing Masterclass: Bonus!

It is the "Give the leather and metal items a bit of flare/shine to immediately make the drawing look more complete"-jutsu!

30/11/2023

I wanted the clothes to give off an oversized, loose impression.

Canon Hughes didn't seem to be wearing a shirt underneath... hmm.

03/12/2023

I am beginning to understand the structure of the military uniform better...

Realising the butt flap/cape didn’t actually connect to the upper jacket is a shocker to me.

###

03/12/2023

A continuation of yesterday's sketch

...or so I thought, until I realized how King Bradley and Kimblee during the Ishval war had a different overcoat design, in which they actually wore a single long coat instead of a separated upper and bottom set.

###

04/12/2023

When his clothes were unbuttoned, there was something that looked like an additional button on his right chest... I wonder if it could be fastened from the back?

(Translator's note: sorry, I have no idea what button he's referring to here lol)

###

05/12/2023

I like how each character's personality was expressed through the way they dress. Contrary to his appearance, this person was very intelligent, which makes him such a great character.

sometimes i will see a post and get really confused before i remember that when using the acronym FMA, most people aren't referring to the 1987 translation of Les Miserables by Lee Fahnestock and Norman MacAfee

#just saw a post that was talking about full body prosthetics in FMA and i was like. wait what. which part of the brick is this #i don't have enough mutuals who are into fullmetal alchemist for it to be a regular thing that gets brought up on my dash #LES MIS TRANSLATIONS HOWEVER

The remastered translation I'm reading has been using they/them for Envy. Diversity win! The homicidal shapeshifter out for blood is nonbinary now.

#kat reads fma #I vaguely recall the original translation I read used he/him

The insurgents, we will remark, were full of hope. The manner in which they had repulsed the attack of the preceding night had caused them to almost disdain in advance the attack at dawn. They waited for it with a smile. They had no more doubt as to their success than as to their cause. Moreover, succor was, evidently, on the way to them. They reckoned on it. With that facility of triumphant prophecy which is one of the sources of strength in the French combatant, they divided the day which was at hand into three distinct phases. At six o’clock in the morning a regiment “which had been labored with,” would turn; at noon, the insurrection of all Paris; at sunset, revolution.

They heard the alarm bell of Saint-Merry, which had not been silent for an instant since the night before; a proof that the other barricade, the great one, Jeanne’s, still held out.

All these hopes were exchanged between the different groups in a sort of gay and formidable whisper which resembled the warlike hum of a hive of bees.

Enjolras reappeared. He returned from his sombre eagle flight into outer darkness. He listened for a moment to all this joy with folded arms, and one hand on his mouth. Then, fresh and rosy in the growing whiteness of the dawn, he said:

“The whole army of Paris is to strike. A third of the army is bearing down upon the barricades in which you now are. There is the National Guard in addition. I have picked out the shakos of the fifth of the line, and the standard-bearers of the sixth legion. In one hour you will be attacked. As for the populace, it was seething yesterday, to-day it is not stirring. There is nothing to expect; nothing to hope for. Neither from a faubourg nor from a regiment. You are abandoned.”

— 5.1.3 Les Miserables (Hapgood)

#no one ever talks about this moment in red #and let me tell you: it shook me to my absolute core #imagine you come back from scouting #and you hear the people you've formed a sort of fellowship with #the people you have killed for and alongside #and they are so full of hope and cheer and optimism for the future!#and this is their final moment to feel that before you need to tell them that they will die #The Enjolras hiding for a moment with his hand over his mouth and the other hugged around himself #eyes closed as he lets this moment go on just a little longer #ngl I think it hit harder in the FMA translation #but I'm not copying all of that over #les mis #shitposting through les mis #enjolras #the frenchiest fry #Oh Buddy #thicc bricc

what would a badly drawn homunculus ed look like. i imagine his ouroboros is drawn in crayon or is one of those fake tattoos

if only those statements could co-exist at the same time

#mod macchi #fma #fullmetal alchemist #fmab #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #edward elric #pride!ed #sorry for lack of ms paint and slight effort on this one i'm getting used to drawing on my new puter and thought this would be a cute shot #(it's one of those fake tattoos btw)#(i wanted to do it in crayon but the crayon brush doesn't really translate obviously when it's tiny)

Translation: Bonus comic strip from Yomi no Tsugai vol. 5

The volume five paperback for Yomi no Tsugai is FINALLY out in Hong Kong, so I went to buy it after work immediately today lol. I think people who have been keeping up with the magazine updates probably haven’t read this bonus comic, so I scanned it and translated it for everyone. (I don’t own a scanner though, so I took a photo and edited it on my iPad lol please don’t flame)

It is really funny to know how it wasn’t Arakawa who had decided to make an Edward Elric doppelgänger in her new comic, but everyone around her actually (who are evidently unable to get over Edward) 😂 Gabby is my new little baby tho (whom I picked up from the trash) so I’m NOT complaining. At all 😂😂😂😂

Panel that has meme potential (to use as reaction image for Arakawa’s future updates):

The most niche, unrelatable problem in the world is my personal pet peeve that, even when people are talking about FMA '03 specifically, they still use Brotherhood's place name spellings

The funny thing about reading fan translations of manga is that sometimes the translator changes between chapters.

So when there is a character whose gender is ambiguous in the Japanese version it's always a fun little guessing game of 'How will this translator refer to this character?'

Sometimes they just default to he/him cause male is often assumed to be the default.

Sometimes they spice it up & go with she/her.

If they can't decide they'll just use the characters name.

And very very rarely they actually use they/them.

Just got to the bit where Greed says his "buddy" taught him how to fight Wrath, and while I assume he means via piggybacking off memories I am now envisioning Ed, Darius, and Heinkel sitting around a campfire watching their 'boss' try and fail to do a backflip while yelling at himself.

#heinkel: how many are we up to #ed: 15 #meanwhile ling: just let me do it oh my god #greed: no!! fuck you!!#ling: you broke my NECK #greed: it's MY neck back off #kat reads fma #I don't actually remember this comment from the last time I read it?#but the translation has been slightly different in places so maybe they used a verb like showed instead of taught #and it didn't ping me as deliberately intentional #(translation sidenote: this has changed Fu's accusation to Bradley as #youre the one responsible for my granddaughter's missing arm #instead of you're the one who cut off my granddaughter's arm #more accurate allocation of blame #I am waiting with bated breath to see if this translation contains the immortal phrase 'big daddy of the homunculi'
