Awesome! Winry is especially adorable, but I love the delicacy of the colors and the way you've captured the folds.

[astridv]

Thank you. Winry seems really happy wearing that dress, doesn't she. :)

[jenna_thorn]

The clean elegance of your fabric draping just slays me.

[astridv]

Thank you kindly. I had to illustrate a book on ancient Rome once so I had a lot of practice with draped cloth. It took me a while until I figured out how a toga works!

[lakrids404]

Very cool, indeed.

I can see, that I am very late out. But if you would find it interesting, what about Buffy, as an ancient Egyptian?

[astridv]

Glad you like. I'll... see what I can do? Tricky prompt, but interesting.

[sasha_feather]

Looooove this. :)

[astridv]

Thanks :)

[havocthecat]

Wow, those are gorgeous. I love the picture of Sophie!

[astridv]

Thank you. That was a good prompt. Over on the LJ mirror malkingrey suggests a Roman!AU and now I want that!

[livrelibre]

Beautiful! I especially like the coloring on Winry's clothes.

[astridv]

Glad you like it!

Oooooh! These are gorgeous! Winry is adorable (hiking up her skirt *g*), and I don't know Sophie but she looks very commanding... wouldn't want to be on her bad side.

[astridv]

Sophie can be very commanding indeed. (It depends on which character she's playing at the time.)

[sqbr]

I love the Winry one! Very nice mix of styles.

[astridv]

FMA fanart is quite thankful, really. You don't have to worry much about getting the likeness right, for one. And I find it interesting to mesh Arakawa's style with my own.

[michelel72]

Lovely, and the coloring is wonderful.

[astridv]

Thank you. :) Fun meme.

I would've liked to do some of these with computer coloring but I just can't figure out how to make that look good. But maybe I'll use one of the next ones to experiment.

[rheanna]

Those are so good! I love them both, but the Roman one is especially gorgeous - the detail in the necklace and earrings and the regal purple colour are lovely.

[astridv]

I'm glad you like them! (The purple actually came out rather garishly in the original artwork, but thanks to the wonders of Photoshop that kind of thing is easily fixed.)

[stultiloquentia]

That is so Winry, the way she's going someplace, and the intent sparkle in her eye.

[astridv]

Going someplace, that sounds right for Winry. :)

[missmurchison]

I love this. Sophie would have kicked ass as a Roman matron. Of course, it's hard to think of a time when she couldn't have kicked ass.

[astridv]

I felt like that role fits her like a glove!
