Description This took forever
I planned this a long time ago, and till now it's been about half a month in the making.

So here we have more fan art from the show Avatar the Last Airbender.
The kid with the arrow tattoos on the bottom is Aang and the scorpion-serpent thing lurking around the picture is Koh, a spirit who steals the faces of any emotional creature (which explains why Aang is all impassive).

I hated the fact I had to STUDY Koh's entire structure and all that stuff. It was so hard to see his structure in the dark cave in all that.... without getting your face stolen

sorry if the preview's small! Hit download for something worthy of human eyes.

ooh... Avatar... Ya I kinda sorta remember that episode.

I dunno what to say but this equation should do fine: atmosphere + expressions + patience = win. Nice job!

I sure hope some Avatar-related stuff can fit in though

It's the Indonesian summer
only a month long, and that's the longest holiday of the year.

It's Koh! Haha, I love this guy. Even though he creeps me out a little.
Excellent job! I love the lineless effect! Aang's expression is great too, it looks like it's straight out of the TV show! Beautiful shading, and I love how you arranged the picture.

JesnCin In reply to chuwenjie [2009-07-20 01:42:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Though actually, I like Koh's low voice, it's so relaxing to listen too
Thanks for noticing that too! It was supposed to be sketchy with tons of lines, but that kind of pointed out where everything was (isn't it supposed to be hard to see in a dark cave?). Wait- is what's on Aang's face considered an expression?
I loved arranging the picture! I thought making it long and vertical (like a bookmark ) would emphasize staring up at someone tall.
Many-many thanks!

chuwenjie In reply to JesnCin [2009-07-21 21:09:45 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome!
Yeah, I think you could consider Aang's face as an expression.
I noticed that! Making the picture very tall was a good technique, because it made Aang look so small and scared in comparison.

haha, really? I thought it was hard to see
I thought it could use a little desaturating in some areas to match the background some of the colors don't look too right.

maddog385 In reply to JesnCin [2009-07-18 12:35:41 +0000 UTC]

well, i think they look pretty good you can do a lot with even one colour if you wish
my secret project uses only 1 colour (only the preparation ofc) and that is brown (ok and maybe a slight tint of yellow at one spot but that was done with hue change )

JesnCin In reply to maddog385 [2009-07-18 12:39:18 +0000 UTC]

I think there's too much red on the shell of the facestealer here though.

around the head maybe
you should make it a little bit more dark with brightness/contrast

JesnCin In reply to maddog385 [2009-07-18 13:12:50 +0000 UTC]

I'll try that. Though I copied the colors from a few screen captures from the tv show.
