Description Here is an original character I made (with no name yet), after being inspired bythe Avatar series of elemental masters.

He is a Sand bender, able to manipulate sand at will. He can turn sand dunes into solid walls or a sand tsunami. Sand tornadoes can also arise.

Sand benders are very versatile, because they can achieve the hardness of Earth benders (sand walls), the fluidity of Water benders (tidal sand wave), the swiftness of Air benders (sand cyclones), and the fury of Fire benders (natural desert heat).

He is one of the Sand people, denizens of the desert. They are non-human, like elves but with more rounded ears, heightened senses, and superior strength, yet possess human-like physical characteristics. Their bodies are so dense, they sink in water, which they tend to stay away from.

Another characteristic of the sand people, is that they are sand swimmers, able to go subterranean with ease, and at high speeds, too. They have evolved to cope with sand in this way as normal people do to water, that is why their bodies are much denser. And because they are adept at sandy environments, their skin is tough yet smooth, being sanded all the time.

Hope you enjoy it

I wish there were awesome sand benders like this on the "Avatar: Last airbender" show. It would have been a peg more cooler.

Wow I love it! The way his hair covers his eyes and his stance makes him look so mysterious and powerful! Great work!

Neato! The stance seriously kick ass ,the numerous shading colors that were used give him a tough badass look. And i've read his description , Let's just say that you want to have him by your side if you enter a desert , not the opposite . XD

Jeez, maybe the next time I want to relocate, I'll just ask him to move my house for me. 10,000 pounds shouldn't be too big of a problem for him. xD

sweet concept bro. And nice anatomy! xD
Now, don't get me wrong here, but the clouds could use a lil bit more depth. Here's an AWESOME tutorial on clouds that I found. This guy also has some other tutorials that have helped me quite a lot. [link]

best of luck my friend

Aresanob In reply to Syrupjuice [2008-01-02 00:47:24 +0000 UTC]

Yup... I know. thing is, I did see that tutorial before, but when I try to smudge in this particular image, the PhotoShop would lag, because the imagr size was already 53.5 MB as a psd file... so I sticked to brushes that won't cause lagging... but I still tried to follow the tutorial. I uploaded a png file version, so the size is a lot smaller...and Thanks ... it really means a lot

Syrupjuice In reply to Aresanob [2008-01-02 01:52:05 +0000 UTC]

ohhh. I just deal with the lagging. Sometimes I go and make a sandwhich to give it time xD
