Artist's Comments

Wheeee My first Avatar TLA fanart! Sorry for the massive size ^^;

I dedicate this one to for getting me into this series :hug:

---------------------------------------------------------
Top left to bottom right:

1)Aang finds a new way to launch his glider
2)Sokka is somewhat distracted by the moon and all memories associated with it
3)Katara kicks up a snowstorm
4)Momo rules!
5)Appa watches inquisitively as Toph makes a snowbison. A somewhat superior attempt at portraying Appa than any of Sokka's drawings.
6)Zuko relaxes in his self heated bath.. but his warrior instincs tell him he is in danger.. but where from?
7)Iroh takes aim...
------------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah another B&W job from moi. I was breaking some of my own rules making this.. as in brush hardness and flow weren't always on full...and I used low opacity for the steam.. but I think it was worth it. I pushed a few boundaries with the textures (Appa's fur was great fun). And finger painting really saved me here.. I just couldn't get a half decent swirly snow effect until I stumbled on that nice little button.
Momo's probably my favourite frame here.. what's yours?
Zuko was a pain in the ass to draw, I can't do anatomy.. and I couldn't get away with it by placing his body in shadow either. Gah.

Detail shots can be found here: [link]

So to all Avatards and non-Avatards out there, Merry Christmas from r7ll! :D

~enjoy ^^

AAAHHHH!!! *squeals and runs around like the crazy foaming guy* It is SO way cool!!!! Funny, I woke up last night thinking about this drawing and wondering if you would get it done. Oh this drawing kicks butt! Momo is so cute. ^^ And you didn't have to dedicate it to me but thank you so much!

Haha, of course I had to. It's partly because of you that this picture came to existence ^_^

Wow, congrats on the avatar fanart-- This is hilarious, watch out Zuko! I love the black and white style of it, you should do more. Have you seen the season two finale?

Hehe, thanks ^^ And yeah I've seen the finale. It's unfortunate that Zuko did the whole betraying thing...but I couldn't do a group fanart without including Zuko. I expect he'll come to his senses one day.. and perhaps this represents Iroh getting some form of revenge ^^
