Description
Here we go, all prettied up for your viewing pleasure. Per usual, the element fire was a bitch and air was a piece of cake. Pretty much loving it myself, just a few more tweaks and add-ons and the finished desktop will be up.Quick edit to the discription since I keep meaning to put it in. This pic is inspired by this image [link] by the very talented only I was lazier and only did four

My favorites are deifnitly Bumi and Iroh. You kept the craziness in Bumi while still making him look like a serious threat, and there's a strength and dignity to Iroh we don't often see in the show. Great picture.

Thanks, there's so much that you can just expand on in that universe and Iroh himself could fill a whole series. We saw a lot of that old wise teacher side, but we didn't see that noble warrior until later in the show.
And yes...Bumi is ALWAYS fun to draw.

hi im in the middle of doing an avatar piece and im stuck on the air bending i was wondering how you did yours?
ps nice pic love the tache

Glad you like it!
As far as the air, I just used the Air brush tool in Photoshop at about half opacity. I use a WACOM stylus which makes it nice and easy. It may be a little harder if you're using a mouse or trackball. Another way you can do it is by using the Lasso Tool, fill it with the Paint bucket with white or a light grey and then take the layer opacity to around 50%. If you do that, make sure that the white is on it's own level above your main picture.

It's truly the mustache of power. He could conquer whole kingdoms with it's might if he so wished

He could, but we all know he is a true peace-loving monk and would never do that.
...Or would he?

I can't wait till these dudes come back (3 of the 4, at least).
Well done.

Thanks! It took a while because I was trying to mash my style with the cartoons, but all in all I think it came out pretty well.

Epic as usual.
The way you draw men is lovely. You need to make a manly men tutorial, I just love your style. 8D

Dude...the Manly-Man tutorial or 'How I learned not to be afraid of muscles and square jaws.' Heh, that could be fun.

Gyatso and Bumi are my favorites! I like Gyatso's grin and mustache. Now, he only needs a Mexican hat!

Man, I think I need to do a drawing just starring Gyatso's mustache, been getting so many comments about it
Bumi has been surprisingly fun to draw. Mad genius does that I think

LOVE IT! If the fire was a pain don't sweat because it looks awesome! Already faving it.

Oh man, you don't know how glad I am about that fire. Iroh's totally my favorite character and it would kinda suck not being able to do fire well. Considering that as a fire bender a bunch of stuff with him would probibly include...well, lots of fire...
...and tea. Lots and lots of tea

Gyatso: leader in Air Nomad fashion for the past 100 years. Totally where Aang gets his moves

Color makes it better

Fluidity came out fine, only the drips at the end of the water whip and sputters of flame near the hand seem to overdo it. Everthing else is good though.

And oh so pretty when they come out right

OMG!!!!
I wish this was a poster! I would certainly hang it on my wall...and build a shrine to it!
Nothing l like more than a nod to the masters. The colors are perfect and vibrant.
Good show sir!

Sweet! I'm lovin' on Gyatso's moustache there. Also, the fire effects are damn cool. Nice job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gyatso's totally showing off ain't he?
Fire's always...well...tricky for me. Either comes out well or looking absolutely horrid. Luckily, it's leaning more towards the 'looking good' side for me here.
