So...

Here I am minding my own business, and a friend pops up on one of my messengers with this little Jpg.

If you can't see this link it's of a little anime girl and her dog posing, in an adorable way, the last move of DragonBall Z's fusion dance in front of some kind of circular rune. I don't recognize them as DBZ characters so I get it's a parody of some kind, and I laugh and joke about the inevitable result of such a thing. To which he then responds with a YouTube clip.

Now, full disclosure, I have never seen an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist before, and never even read about the show to know what it's about. So, unprepared, I watch this clip. And it's such a sorrowful, sad scene that I'm all....GAAAhhhh. What the **** guy? Fun mood totally harshed. :P

Spoiler little Nina does get fused with her dog Alexander.

If you're curious just put 'Nina's death' into YouTube's search and it should be first on the list. But it's really darn sad.

So he goes about his day, and I'm starting to get ready to run, But that scene is kinda eating at me, so I feel that I need to exorcise it from my mind by fixing it, and spent the next few hours whipping up a better result from the parody picture. I'm actually kinda happy how fast I was able to make something back then. I need to get back into focusing on my speed.

So at least I got some much needed inking practice, and it totally broke my art bloc for the night. So I got that out of it.

Not sure who made the initial image, and I yanked the rune design from the Fullmetal Alchemist wiki. Best I can tell the characters and rune belong to Square Enix.
