Description I swear I wasn't thinking of the movie when I wrote about the 28 days.
Well, now you will think of the movie and expect zombies. Great...


Page original size 5,5" X 8".
Rough pencils. Grey shading, lettering and word ballons done in Photoshop
These pages done for fun, and also as a good exercise in storytelling and planning on such a long scale, which I had not really done before.
I am not planning on inking, cleaning more or coloring them. I simply do not have the time.

The Avatar universe belongs to Mike, Bryan, Nickelodeon-Viacom-MTV.
All the characters belong to them, but a few of the extras are my own creation.

What do to with a useless Fire Nation man? Send him on a hopeless, demeaning quest, of course! It's standard protocol in every nation!

I bet the answer is going to be: yourself.

Zhao has many faults. But he is cunning, intelligent....and if the situation requires it, a lot of courage too.

Shaving was just too much trouble, plus it keeps the face a bit warmer (when you don't have icicles frozen in it...)

Heh. ^_^" Poor Zhoaka, eating all the bait. I suppose panel five may be the funniest (although it's the last one that makes me laugh) because you see him going "Oh! O_O "

I don't think I caught it the first time round...

but the "28 days later..." Brillag.

I really love the head-desk frame.

I think I got influenced by that fact that it is page 28 too.
I swear my brain does the least amount of work sometimes.

bluchimera [2007-12-27 09:02:34 +0000 UTC]

bait must've been pretty tasty. poor zhaoka...
for some weird reason zhaoka planting his face into his provision sack seems better to me than sokka's facepalm...strange. ^-^

Zhao will never have Sokka's good looks or brains.
All they share is an affinity for food.

That's not what I was getting at. No, what I was saying is that both have that doofus quality about them.

He ate the bait - now he will wait with baited breath! *is shot for pun abuse*
