For our ninth Subscriber Scenario, we return to the lab for some more fucking machine fun. Edward has a couple connections to the lab, even though he no longer has his automail limbs in the Studio. First he has some sort of connection to Mei, through her choosing him after her Superstar win. Beyond that, though, Winry coming into the Studio obviously gives him more reason to visit the lab, to see her. So I used those two connections here, plus I threw in Reagan just because I like her and wanted to spotlight her a little.
So I think the premise behind this question is that, wince Winry made Ed’s automail, she’d be disappointed or something to see him no longer need it. I don’t think that’s how she’d feel, though, so I tried to articulate that a bit here while also giving the canon explanation for what’s happening on set when he does appear with it like for the FMA One-Shot. I also figured she should let Ed put his restored hand to use a bit.
Here is the One-Shot comic for September, a selection of Fullmetal Alchemist scenes. Like always, this is based on a script submitted by one of my Subscribers on SubscribeStar. I’ve been drawing Ed with all his limbs for Studio-set pics, but since this one is set in FMA itself I felt I needed to give him his canon limbs. There’s a few characters introduced here who people have been asking me to draw for a while, so I hope fans of this series will enjoy seeing them all here.
