Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - How to hook the viewers

 

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a 64-episode anime that began airing in 2008. It was the first anime I watched all the way through. I had tried to watch anime in the past but couldn't get past the first couple episodes of any shows. I just assumed I wouldn't find anything I enjoyed until I found this show on Netflix. I went into the show totally blind, not knowing anything about the story, characters, or world. Within the first couple of episodes, I was hooked. Brotherhood does an excellent job of establishing the two protagonists, their goals, connections, beliefs, and why the viewers should care. I wish to avoid going too in-depth, despite the fact the show is over ten years old, but I implore anyone's who interested to watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood even if you are not a fan of anime.

  1. Watched this show last year, super agree. Great characters, the dub is actually solid and the soundtrack is very good.

  2. Absolutely agree on this, the soundtrack is super good, the characters are really fun (though I felt a few characters didn't need to exist but aren't a huge deficit), the dub is actually really good, and the plot is really interesting.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
