Description Fullview please.

I can't seem to get enough of Avatar >.< I love this show. And in spite of the fact that half of his face has been burnt off, I still think Zuko is hot (pardon the pun).

::molest:: Damn. Sokka and Zuko. What's a girl to do?

Anyway, I'm pretty satisfied with the way this one turned out (actual background!) though you can't see the clouds very well because of the overlay. That and there was something about the obscene highlights that I couldn't get right. Which sucks, but I'll live. Enjoy.

Yay! Some Avatar art already! I love that show! I'm not really a fangirl kinda person, but I do like the boys' character designs and their personalities (for the most part) +Fav

AkuTaco In reply to TheDalishRanger [2005-03-18 02:52:10 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I plan to eventually draw them all when they're older (like, 20s maybe) just for the helluvit. They're just such fun characters to work with.

TheDalishRanger In reply to AkuTaco [2005-03-19 02:57:19 +0000 UTC]

I don't really draw fan art anymore (yet I love looking at it, go fig) but yeah, I imagine they would be fun to work with. I love the character designs. Big kudos to the person responsible for the character designs. 'Tis something I would love to do one day...

AkuTaco In reply to TheDalishRanger [2005-03-21 15:28:17 +0000 UTC]

I've given serious thought to the same profession, though I really can't say what I'll be doing. It would be fun to just come up with characters all day though.

AkuTaco In reply to AkuTaco [2005-03-24 05:17:39 +0000 UTC]

Ugh, I hate proportions. It took ages to get things to look right and I still draw characters' heads much to large sometimes. It took me a few years before I was finally satisfied with it. Of course, now I need to get better at coloring and drawing backgrounds >.< Oh well. I guess we've got some work ahead of us.

Indeed it would. Hopefully college courses will help me develop better skills at traditional media and proportions, cuz I don't think I'm good enough for something like that, currently. Course, I'm still in high school, so obviously there's no rush.

I wish I could say "I'm still in high school, so it doesn't matter" but I've always had trouble believing that. I'm not even a Junior yet though, so I have some time to work.

Sadly for me, I was too stubborn to take art classes from the beginning because my 8th grade teacher was on the dumb side. If I started now, I'd only get two years in before college. I guess it doesn't really matter. If anyone has any talent, they should be able to hone it through their own work. I've just always improved faster in a classroom setting. I don't know why. I've never really listened to my art teachers. O_o Anyways.

Yeah, proportions are killer. I don't think I ever actually took to memorizing that chart thing they tell you (like the upper leg should be twice the length of the head or whatever it actually is). I just kind of made up a skeletal system. It's worked well for me thus far.

(Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been sick and we're moving.)

*insert fangirly noises here* OMG! Another Sokka + Zuko fangirl to, well, fangirl with! *spasms* Yus, Zuko IS teh sex, I love him also. Aaaaand this is GORGEOUS! When I first saw it I was like "OMG. IT'S ZUKO. AND HIS HEAD IS SHINY. FGIUSHG." I love how confused Xaio looks. XD

Did I mention that this is sexy? Because it is. <3

AkuTaco In reply to bornbruised [2005-03-13 16:11:18 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I think I was trying to make Xaio look angry, but I screwed up in there somewhere and it just so happened to come out confused. I was like, "Screw it, he looks better that way anyway."

Anyway, I'm not a ZukoXSokka fangirl, I just find both of them super-sexy. ::molests the boys::

Heh, happens to the best of us. And GUH, that's not what I meant, it just came out that way. I just meant...a fangirl of the two of them. Separately. Not as in, "OMG ZUKO AND SOKKA ARE SO TOTALLY MEANT FOR EACH OTHER WTF." Because how you feel = how I feel. And wheeeeee.
