::FMA::Hawkeye and Hayate::

I'm really on a FMA kick right now, so here's one of my fav female character from FMA: Riza Hawkeye (with her puppy - Black Hayate, of course)

I really like her character, she's gentle and motherly at some times, but most of the time, she's so calm, collected, and kick-ass. Seriously, when you get too annoyed with the clutzy, naive, cry-at-every-single-thing, and OMGSOKAWAII!!111 female shoujo-mange/anime characters, you tends to start sticking with those in shonen-manga/anime (I really like some shoujo, like Chobit, Ichigo 100%, Fruit Basket, etc. Some characters are really unique in there, it's just that at times I wonder, why can't some female be more sophisticated, or smarter for a change)

Anyway, I got lazy with background and just splashed some colours on, and Black Hayate's somehow looks like a toy animal. Something's also wrong with Riza's hand, and the military uniform is a pain to draw.
