Description
So... I'm learning Japanese with
BYU
, and I decided to see what documentaries National Geographic had, for studying purposes.
It was then I stumbled across some really interesting videos* about the Yakuza and their infamous body tattoos... I really wanted to draw some of these for myself, when I had a brilliant idea-!
So- the Legend of Korra takes place in Republic City, which is heavily inspired by China and New York here in the US... but- what if it had some Japanese historical references in there? Like- a triad that wore body tattoos and represented the Yakuza?!
So- you could say this would be Mako from this hypothetical universe.
Instead of being part of the Triple Threats, he and Bolin were a part of the 'Yakuza' Triad.
I'm assuming that the Mako from this universe wears long sleeves all the time to hide the tattoos... (And he cut off two of his fingers in order to get him and Bo outta the gang.
)
Drawn and colored by hand; edited on Photoshop
*Videos I watched:
Marked: Death of the Yakuza
Full Body Tattoos
