Hey. FMA Fandom. I freaking did it ok.

Lan Fan's *FULL* automail design from the manga? Yeah. It now finally exists.

Please accept this humble offering as fanon:

NOW EVERYONE DRAW HER!!!

ARAKAWA I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD!!!!!!!

Edit: I thought I'd leave some manga panels to point out a few things I don't have the skills to successfully translate in this ref sheet!

Explanations under the cut!

The armor plates on the shoulder are bigger than what I drew (I tried to put them at an angle but they just look smaller lol) I recommend just enlarging the top plate from the middle! It's supposed to hide most of the upper arm.

If you draw her in full uniform, she of course has bandages and that cool spiky leather strand around her wrist. The spiky knuckles appear to be a separate accessory as well.

The automail isn't all open right on top of the forearm, but on its side, as you'll see in the manga panels. I should've drawn the hand seen from the side but I wanted to show the screw on top of it beheheh.

The thought process behind Lan Fan's automail appears to focus on being as light as possible so that she can keep fighting with speed. Compared to Ed's very solid and armored automail to be as enduring as possible, Lan Fan's trades durability for lightness!

The mechanism for the hidden blade is basically just rings inside the fingers, to which are attached wires that are tethered close to a tiny hook. My thought process behind this is that we most likely want to avoid accidentally unsheathing the blade, so LF has to literally reach for it! It's a safety measure, but I also like that it makes her do a hand move kinda similar to Scar's whenever he's about to use his alchemy/alkahestry destruction for an attack!

For the port, have fun with it! I tried my best to give it an interesting look but I struggled with giving it a 3D metal feel. I focused more instead on where the support would be since the port can't be drilled on most of the chest. Drilled on the back it is!

Finally, if you notice the tiny lock I inserted in the simplified design, no it's not made to render the arm immovable; rather it's just there to secure the automail in the port. You know, during the process to connect the nerves. You attach the little wires, screw the bolts, and lock it all in neatly!

With this, I hope everyone will have fun drawing Lan Fan's full automail! It may not be canon, but it's at least better than nothing! So many art pieces just hide her automail because of that lack of reference, so I hope I helped change that!

(Note: the scars I gave LF on her right shoulder and left side aren't canon either. I saw an art piece way back when and somehow convinced myself that I just had never noticed in the show lol. But you can't tell me the bodyguard to a prince that canonically survived a bunch of assassination attempts wouldn't have a scar or two!!)

NOW DRAW YOUR HEARTS AWAY!!!

Watching FMAB with my roommates and realizing that Greed TRULY IS the definition of mansplain, manipulate, manwhore AND manslaughter

fmab except greed lives but still looks like ling

they go back to xing and become emperor. most of the populace think there's one emperor except actually its greed and ling switching places when its something the other one doesn't want to do. they do this regularly and once switched for an entire day to see how long it would take lanfan to notice (hint: it actually took her all day before she noticed but she pretends that she knew the whole time).

Edward Elric was the FIRST Goes Around Adding His Enemies To His Found Family Protagonist but he gets forgotten because he doesnt have the Steven Universe personality or Aang kindness like come on just because hes foaming at the mouth biting growling screaming and beating the shit out of them before becoming allies doesnt mean he isnt friends with them later on

Doodled today, will probs doodle tomorrow too.

I love that in your Homoncus!Hugues AU Greed is just. There, hahah. It's a very relatable feeling like "yeah i know he's dead and also i was gonna tell a different story but also Greed should be there. Bc we love him. There. Get loved idiot." Absolute mood <3

first / prev / next

“get loved idiot” more like “realize in hindsight that you had a found family unit and that you have to move on now because they’re gone”
