Wanted to paint an Avatar theme painting for sometime. Artwork (c) me- please email me if you want to use it. Anyone interested in commissions this is an example. Had a lot of fun painting this. Might add some digital effects later.

Yeah, I feel the other Avater is a little more popular. Or well.. anime in general is. I just cant get into drawing the anime thing.

I like some of it a lot but a lot of anime I can't really get into either. Hey, good news, I just got hired by a place called g2comics! Check out their website:

I bet, that sounds great! A little bit of green is always nice as well. I think I am going to flirt more with painting/ink work with painting. Honestly I'd love to be a cover artist.
