Artist's Comments

I'm really proud of how this piece turned out! ^^

I basically wanted to try out different art styles, and attempted to match up the characters with their cultural counterparts. It was really a bit difficult trying to capture these styles.
Sokka and Katara were sort of inspired by *Isaia's art and various Inuit/Alaska Native wood-block prints - [link]
Aang’s style is based on Buddhist-influenced paintings and art - similar to what is seen in Tibet/the Himalayas.
Zuko - I dunno. I’ve heard lots of different ideas on the origin of Fire Nation style, but I’ve always really felt that it’s had a Thailand and South Asian sort of feel to it all. I found quite a few pictures of old Thai murals that have an unusually similar look.
Toph is inspired by Chinese ink paintings - lots of loose lines and watery colors. (I think this one is my favorite) ^^

I actually did a bit of traditional art, this time - I sketched each one out in pencil first, and used watercolors and ink. I then colored a few things in digitally, later.

[edit:] Added in some designs, and centered the section for Aang.
