   My Manga that DOES exist!!!
It's up! My OC FMA manga is finally up! None of you are aware of the awful process with which it was made. Snake Chimera presents to you:
HOW HALFMETAL ALCHEMIST WAS MADE!

Step one: First I sat down and invented Isabelle. In the beginning, I thought that, since Ed's an atheist, it would be funny if Winry couldn't take care of her, so she was raised by nuns. So she would be all preachy and stuff...But then I decided I preferred the loud and rule-bending alchemist which we shall soon come to know.

Step two: I had to draw it. First I drew Isabelle standing in a really cool pose. Then I added a backround. Then I decided to make it into a little story thing. (This was before I knew about this website)

Step Three: I became a member here, and decided to seriously work hard on my "Little Story thing". So I did. Since I started in the middle, I had to work backwards and find the beginning, then work out from there.

Step four: Scan everything. And guess what? SMUDGES. EVERYWHERE. I had to photoshop tons of stuff and they were still there.

Step five: Make a cover. Repeat step five.

Step six: Resize images so I can post them.

Step Seven: Post them, and wait an hour.

Step Eight: OMG they were all cut off! So I took them all off and repeated steps six and seven.

Step Nine: Shiver with delight to see that I got a comment and it wasn't just my best friend, it was someone I didn't even know! (YAY person I don't know!)

Step 10: KEEP DRAWING AND SCANNING. And learn how to draw Ed and Winry. That's what I'm working on right now. I drew a pretty good picture of Winry last night, well pretty good for my first-ever time trying to draw her anyway. But...AHHH! Ed is so freaking hard to draw!!!!!!!!

And that is the ten-step process of making Halfmetal Alchemist. I wonder whether it was worth it or not. Ohh well...
