Description the "Finish Avatar" project. Leave me a suggestion for a picture

Featured in: "Sokka's Master"

...

I do a lot of Sokka pictures...


(to show a few...)

Most of the time it's his legendary, usually self inflicted, misfortune. It's not often that comedic relief in a show ascends to such memorable levels... but, get a couple of Avatards in a room together, and you will no doubt get to the topic of funny sokka-isms.

Today though, I'd like to spotlight something else about him as a character.

Sokka's just an awesome guy. From his "Warrior's Wolf Tail," to his unmatched Haiku skills. From his sarcastic jokes and hilarious nicknames, to his boomerang.

He's funny... but when it comes to the important things in life he's sincere. He's intelligent, a natural leader, works hard (most of the time), and fights to protect the people and causes that mean the most to him.

This episode- I think- really shows off the best parts of what makes him Sokka. The way he threw himself into the work in his own unique way. I was so proud of him when he confessed his real name and intentions.

There's no doubt in my mind that he'll become a central figure in the "Order of the White Lotus" at some point... if not a Grand Master. He has all the makings of it

I loved this scene. This was one of the most defining moments of his character. Not Aang, Katara, nor Toph - just Sokka.

I need to see this episode again; it really is one of Sokka's biggest and proudest moments. Other episodes that focused on him and/or gave insight to his character were "The Warriors of Kyoshi", "Bato of the Water Tribe", "The Library", and "Escape from the Boiling Rock". This was a choice moment to illustrate, and you did a good job at it.

Eh? Why's he holding it back handed?
I'm pretty sure he didn't back hand grip that shiz.

Maybe not.
Its been a while since I watched ATLA.

Hey Matt,
Usually I'm totally crazy about your work, but this one seems off.
It looks like the faces aren't quite good and stuff

Mattierial In reply to smurfeyn [2011-12-08 00:20:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it was a stylistic choice to try and make the surprised expressions more distinct... and I didn't do a very good job of it. It bugs me too

I don't pretend to be a master. I have a lot to learn and still make mistakes... thank you for the input

When you call yourself a master, you really are too laze to try something new XD
You're welcome

He really is so much more than just a comic relief character. "Sokka's Master" is my favorite episode. I've watched it at least 4 times and never got tired of it.

Sokka's left hand looks either backward or upside-down, but maybe it was that way in the screenshot.

I agree with you. Sokka is an amazing guy.

Also, I'd like to point out that your art is always so awesome looking. ^^

I do have one minor quip about this one though. It looks like Sokka's hand is backwards. But I love how well you captured his expression! Kudos. <3
