Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - Watercolor and Ink

In the show Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, the protagonist Edward Elric confronts the challenge of the Seven Deadly Sins, six of which are depicted in the image above. The sins positioned closest to Edward symbolize his internal struggles, with each sin reflecting a different aspect of his character.

At the center of the image stands Edward's brother, Alphonse, watching over him. Alphonse's condition, living as a suit of armor after Edward attempted to bring him back to life, is the primary source of Edward's guilt and a pivotal driving force behind his actions throughout the show.

Notably, the colors behind two of the sins match Alphonse's, indicating that these two sins particularly wrestle with their consciences. This serves to underscore the complexity and internal conflicts faced by these characters.
