Description In order to improve my understanding of digital painting, I'm attempting to color these little drawings from my sketchbook. Lately, I've been trying to draw people doing active things, i.e. dancing, fighting, running, jumping, climbing trees, what have you. Which led to this thought: Ooh, dancing with fire would be fun. Which led to THIS thought: Ooh, dancing with fire AND water would be better (cough, cough, not intentionally Zutara, but, well...). I'll make it Avatar art.

--------------------------

edit: I finished it, and it turned out quite differently from what I'd expected. I'll leave this image up in scraps, for those who prefer this over the final version (and I still think it looks cool, anyway), but you can see the end result here

Wickedly awesome!

I love the lighting and colors you used for the fire! I love the stance and outfit in the upperleft-hand corner too.

Pwetty o3o
You have a very different thought process from me...
See, for me, I think "dancing with fire would be fun...but kinda dangerous...what if I trip and fall and my radio bursts into flames and my house explodes?!?!"

Very nice with the movements, and I think the elements came out really well, especially the fire.

Cool! The water and fire's a lot better than I could do, I'll tell you that.
And is it just me, or do the two peoples look like Zuko and Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender? Was this intentional, or an accident?

oddfeesh In reply to LeitaKree [2007-04-06 05:00:59 +0000 UTC]

semi-intentional, I guess. I'll admit I kind of like the 'Zutara' thing, but it isn't really supposed to be those particular characters. mostly, this was done because I thought the water and fire would be challenging to do, and would look pretty together.

Very nice work with the poses! My humble recommendation is to more clearly define the 'water' element... as a flowing liquid it should have well differentiated edges, whereas the fire will have an indistinct, blurry outline. Both fire and water could have lots of smaller particles surrounding the main 'sweep' of the motion... but fire's might be more of like angular, jagged little sparks as opposed to water's well rounded spheres and droplets. Just my 2-cents, I better shut up now!

No shutting-up necessary. That was a very helpful two cents, indeed! Thank you!

thank you I'm still trying to devise a good way of making the fire, so it doesn't just look like orange water

TOPHROX13 In reply to oddfeesh [2007-04-04 04:43:06 +0000 UTC]

hehe hmm, well, you could put smaller flames around the main fire (if you know what i'm talking about) because water doesn't do that. oh well. i can tell that it's fire...

I like how fluid the poses are, they're so nicely done.

The waterbending and firebending is a great touch!
