fma character studies / SGA fic rec

Today I spent sitting in the sun, sketching Mustang and Hawkeye character studies. I always like to do a bunch of those and get a feel for the characters before diving into fanart properly.


I largely used the manga as reference except for the last few which are loosely based on screencaps from Brotherhood.


I already have a specific idea for fanart but I thought, why not ask for prompts on top of that. FMA: I'd take Roy, Riza, Olivier, Miles, Alex Armstrong, or Scar. Or any of these in combination, gen or PG-ish Roy/Riza. Anybody got something? I can't guarantee that I'll answer prompts but I'll try... kinda also depends on when I can continue with work (as of today I'm officially stuck and there's nothing I can do but wait or file my taxes.)
--note: comments may refer to the ending of the manga and beyond, so unspoiled folks beware--

fic recs:
The Hamster Supremacy by [livejournal.com profile] explodedpen (SGA)
gen; PG-13; team; humor; 7204 words
Summary: The one where they’re turned into the Pegasus Galaxy equivalent of hamsters and travel back in time. All in a days work really.
This one's fun and made me giggle all the way through.

I'll save the fma fic recs for the next post... so darn late again!

Olivier vs. Roy deathmatch! Only if it strikes your fancy, of course.

I love the sketches--they're wonderful.

These are fascinating; thank you for posting!

Prompts... I am pretty canon-ignorant at this point, but I'd love to see something about Olivier and Riza, if anything strikes your fancy. They're both soldiers and they both know something about ruthlessness, even if what they know is different in each case.
