Description The extended gAang were gathering for lunch. Teo was telling Haru and The Duke that they should make a map of the labyrinth they had discovered. Zuko and Aang were discussing firebending techniques they were going to work on that afternoon. Katara was silently serving up bowls of rice for everyone.

Sokka came over carrying Toph. Her recently burned feet were still too painful to walk on. He set her gently on a rock and sat down on the ground next to her. Sokka was lazily watching Katara work when a large badger-toad hopped near his leg. He half looked at the creature. A devious smile crept onto Sokka’s face as his focus sharpened. He picked up the amphibian and lifted it up to Toph.

“Here Toph, kiss this would ya?” He said this a bit more loudly than was necessary, and was pleased to see he had everyone’s attention.

“Wha…What?!” Toph asked, a bit taken aback.

Sokka placed the toad on her lap. “I want to see if it’ll turn into a prince.”

“A prince?”

“Yeah. If Zuko steps out of line again we can just replace him.” He grinned.

Everyone, with the exception of Zuko, laughed (no one more so than Katara). At that moment the toad leapt off of Toph’s lap, and right onto Sokka’s head.

Toph smiled broadly. “You kiss it. It seems to like you better anyway.”

This time Zuko joined in the laughter.

This was sort of the request of ~naturesgirl for winning a contest at *Avatards-Anonymous . She wanted a light Tokka piece. Something that was just fun.
I decided to accentuate the pic with a fic as a peace offering for its lateness.
Here you go. I hope you like!

I own no rights to Toph, Sokka or the toad.

I like the fic. It was funny and cute. The picture has an interesting setting and I like that it includes my favorite character from the series, Toph. I'm not sure I like the way the background is colored. The green just seems to stand out too much in the background compared to the rest.

I love writing as much as I like drawing and sometimes inspiration in both fields hits me simultaneously.
Thank you for the critique! I hadn't noticed that about the green. Now that you mention it it does appear that at least there is too much green on one side of this picture. Especially when taking into consideration Toph's clothes.

Wow, you have an interesting style. A mix of digital and traditional. I like it. Also, your background... oh man, amazing! Great depiction of the story!

Thank you so much! I'm flattered.


As a point of interest, I wrote the story after I did the lineart. So you could say the story is a depiction of the picture. 8D

I've never used pen over colored pencil before but I like the effect. I'll probably use it again.

Thank you!
Yeah, it took much longer than I'd anticipated. I had started coloring it digitally and my computer had a hiccup and lost everything. T_T
I cried for a week then decided to do it the traditional way. This is colored pencil and pen. I smoothed it out digitally and I think it turned out nice.

yes at least traditional you don't have to worry about as much only about if you spill food on it ... but other than that it's safer

it is nice
