Description Colors psychedelic enough?

Yay for misleading titles!

I know it's really random, but the idea came to me when I was remembering a poem I wrote (and, sadly, lost) in middle school about the biggest Hershey's kiss in the world. I even drew a picture of it back then.

And then yesterday I thought I'd show some person's expression as he found this amazing chocolate monstrosity. I've been needing practice in facial expression anyway.

Then I started thinking about how the characters in Avatar have never eaten chocolate. I've never seen them eat anything close to candy. Just stewed sea prunes, fruit and fruit pies, seal jerky... you get the idea. No chocolate! What would life be like without chocolate?! So I decided to give them a gift. And Sokka's expressions are so much fun, I had to draw him.

How would Sokka come to the conclusion that this large brown object was food if he'd never seen chocolate before? Beats me. My logic is that he sees food everywhere, even in a cave covered in yellow slime, as seen in The Desert.

And I still have no idea how I was able to draw this. I used a couple pictures as color and clothes design and face shape reference, but before now, I've never been able to draw in this style. I think I've just seen too much Avatar in the past few weeks...



I love photoshop...

The following petition represents us wanting M. Night Shyamalan to give us his original 125-minute version of "The Last Airbender" which he filmed before summer-2009...much better than the version we ended up seeing in theaters. The original 125-minute version was praised by critics/insiders (published reviews) weeks/months before the movie was released.

haha! I felt like being sneaky putting it in the middle of all that other fan art. So you actually like it?? Makes me happy! And yes, drawn in sketchbook then colored in photoshop. The line art is in my scraps.

WOW. Sokka's one of the difficult ones and you caught him and his sense of humour nicely... I totally LOVE the idea. Sokka + Unidentified Edible Objects = Awesome Fun! XD

: D!!! I REMEMBER THAT POEM!! And sadly, I lost mine too. But mine was all depressing and morbid gross, no it's no loss really. X3 I've written much better ones since.

Wow this is really good! You've never drawn in this style before? I like it! ^_^ It is so what Sokka would do. Why is he in a red and brown outfit though? Is that what he wears in the new season?

yep, they all got fire nation outfits now. And I must say, they all look pretty good.

Well, since the coco bean (which is what chocolate is made from) can only be found in the rainforest and since we haven't seen any rainforest in Avatar so far then I guess that would explain why there isn't any chocolate. -grabs nearest chocolate bar- Eh, their lost!xDDDDDD

Lol, love your pic. If Sokka ever found a giant Hershey's Kiss, then all of his food-related dreams would come true.XD
