Description
I know I don't usually submit, or even do, fan art, but I've been drawing some for a while and this was one I did recently and colored up in photoshop. The idea for this came to me from a conversation I had with an author on FF.net by the name of Megabob452 when we were discussing the ending to season 2 of "The Legend of Korra." I mentioned that I noticed a lot of similarities between Vaatu, the spirit of darkness and chaos, and Unicron, to which Megabob452 said:"So I'm not the only one that noticed the similarities between Raava/Vaatu and Primus/Unicron, which, by the way, makes the Avatar a Prime."
That stuck around with me for a while and eventually turned into this. When I drew it up, I was looking at pictures of Korra, Arcee from "Transformers: Prime," and "War For Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron" Optimus Prime's alt-mode. Let me know what you guys think. Is it good? Bad? Meh? Tell me in the comments below, and ask me any questions you might have about it.

Holy shit!! This is freaking beautiful!! You drew Korra so well. I kinda noticed the similarities between Vatuu/Raava and Unicron/Primus as well (god and Satan of their worlds).
I’ve been thinking of a crossover AU between TFP and Avatar only all the characters are from an avatar like world and Cybertron is similar to Republic City while the rest of the world lives like the four nations. And Megatron fused with a piece of Unicron and became a dark avatar but he was originally a fire bender (he couldn’t generate lightning tho)

Thank you, although it's not perfect by any means.
That idea does sound interesting. I've got a few story ideas of my own if you're interested in discussing it in a note/PM.

I think it’s great.
Thank you. I’m not really comfortable having private conversations, sorry.
But I’m sure they’ll be awesome ^^

Np.
Have you read the Legend of Korra comics?

Not really. I was among those who were put off by the way the show’s ending was handled.

Korra and Asami’s sudden relationship caught me off guard as well. But then I rewatch the series and noticed the subtle moments between the two and it made more sense to me, though I understand why the creators couldn’t explicitly show anything as same sex marriage wasn’t legalized in all fifty states yet and season four was primarily focused on Korra getting back on her feet and the threat of Kuvira so there wasn’t enough time for Korra and Asmai’s relationship development but the subtle moments like Korra blushing at Asami’s compliment was adorable to watch.
Also I think it’s ridiculous that Nickelodeon will release a shit tone of Spongebob stuff but they won’t even release a single Avatar shirt and “it that must not be named” soundtrack is available for download but the shows soundtrack isn’t!!

Perhaps, but I haven’t watched it since it ended to be honest, and have more or less been keeping my distance for multiple reasons. Plus, up until that last moment, I had more or less read all of their interactions as that of two young women being each other’s best friend. After all, not every situation calls for shipping goggles.
Still, I did like the show, despite its problems. Not all of its problems can be blamed on the writers and creators, though. From what I heard, when the show was initially pitched to the Nickelodeon execs, said execs were dismissive of it at first because they believed that their only audience was of the young male demographic, and that those young boys wouldn’t get behind the idea of a teenage girl as the main hero in an action series. However, because of the success of avatar the last Airbender, they green lit it, but only as a 12 episode mini-series. So they created what would become season one, and when production was finished and it was too late to go back and change anything, they showed the first episode of the Nickelodeon executives, who liked it so much that they green lit it for another three seasons that the creators hadn’t planned on. Had the creators and writers been told from the get go to do more than one season, it is very likely we would’ve gotten a different show altogether. Personally, I would like to have seen that.

I’ve been trying to find good quality YouTube videos to watch the series as I don’t have any streaming services with the series on them.
I’ve not heard of that before, I heard about it being pitched as a mini series. I think they handled Korra’s arc really well though, how she felt like a real person who had struggles, she lost things and I could honestly empathize with her she kinda reminded me of Ivypool from the Warrior Cats series. Something I hate is when people say they don’t like the Legend of Korra simply because it’s a sequel which is complete garbage in my opinion LoK is what it means to have a good sequel it takes aspects from the original series and expands upon them. I also hate it when people say they don’t like Korra because she isn’t Aang, their different people different Avatars I think it was stated by the creators themselves that they intentionally created Korra to be the opposite of Aang.

There are other websites you can watch it and other shows on, like Watch Cartoon Online or something like that.
People always think of some reason not to like something, whether it be a legitimate gripe or something that doesn't really matter if you think about it or anything in between.

Its a bit much of a mix of human and Cybertronian pick one and go nuts, mixing to two rarely works well. Her design is much to blocky to have the movement required to bend. The face is good but the optics are a bit to high, the hands are awkwardly turned and she looks like she is going to fall over. Your lighting and colouring is quite good though. You'd probably benefit from studying line art and anatomy

Admittedly the hands are a bit awkward., though I don't see the fall over part. And the only "blocky" parts are her forelegs and bit of her chest, but everything else is more rounded.

Korra would be a high mobility character, her armour should reflect that. ex ardannakeeper.deviantart.com/a… Her form is very refined, while still exposing joints to give the greatest freedom of movement.

Nice! Try submitting this to some of the groups here--I'll bet there are plenty of transformers and avatar groups that would be interested in this.

I'll definitely consider it. Any thoughts or critiques on this pic?

Perhaps add some glow from the fire on her arm and face. And if you changed the color of the ground the legs might contrast better. Also I would make the mound of earth more angular and blocky, less like a blob. Aside from that, I think you render the metal components very well, and you put everything quite in order.

I see. Another person I asked about it said the pose was a little awkward.
Also, that little touch with Amon up in the corner was just for a bit of a joke.

I noticed that. Pretty hilarious. I can understand the comment about the pose, it is a little awkward, but that's not too unusual in a pic like this.

Good to know, and I got the feeling he was very "meh" about the pic, just saying that it's ok.
I also made those corrections you suggested. Any better?
