Also, notice the use of shading and fine lines--you can see it is more three-dimentional. When I studied animation in film school I didn't do much cel work--my stuff was more like Terry Gilliam/Monty Python style because I'm not an artist--I spent a LOT of nights doing ink-and-paint for my friends (we had ink-and-paint parties until the dawn some weekends, fueled with beer and cheap pizza and other, ahem, intoxicants...)and when you've colored a few hundred cels you start to notice stuff like color sep (short for color separation--that's why all those Hannah-Barbera characters like Fred Flinstone and George Jetson look like they need a shave--bad color sepping on bad character designs). If you look at Roy in the original series--a very good scene is when he's on the porch at the Rockbell's talking to Hohenheim--look carefully at their eyes as the faces change angles--it's beautifully done. Wide-Eyed Ed looks adorable...but...it's going to limit his expressions severely. They need to go back and look at Wolf's Rain, which I really think is Bones' masterpiece....
