Description Dunno how this idea really came about... maybe because I started playing Spec Ops: The Line n' thought, 'hey... why not draw Azula, Mai & Ty Lee in Walker, Adams & Lugo's outfits?'

But I highly recommend playing Spec Ops: The Line.

A bit of a warning: if you find that your suspension of disbelief easily lost... you'll find that SO:TL is a mediocre 3rd person shooter trying to shock you with various horrors or war.

But I let it suck me in... and I was amazed at how it played on my emotions.

The wiki article said it well: "In particular contrast to other games of its kind, some critics believe that Spec Ops: The Line does not intend the combat to be a fun experience for the player, but rather aims to engage the player though its narrative which critiques the shooter genre for being removed from reality and providing players with an unrealistic, morally ambiguous escapist fantasy."

Hoo boy was I engaged.

Or I'll do you one better with the Zero Punctuation review that made go n' buy the game! [link]

Soooooooo... yep... dunno how I tacked Avater to it... enjoy?

jdeberge In reply to quyman [2013-07-02 21:39:52 +0000 UTC]

So here's what I've been chargin'

Line art bust - $6 per character
Flat color bust - $8 per character
Shaded color bust $12 per character

Line art torso - $9
Flat color torso - $11
Shaded color torso - $15

Line art full body - $15
Flat color full body - $20
Shaded color full body - $25

Complicated outfits may cause an additional charge. But that'll be determined once I've been show references / or we've discussed the outfit.


Some extra guidelines:

No showing any naughty bits. No porn. Sorry!

I only accept Paypal payments.

I will only start a commission when a payment has been received.

In your note give me as much detail and reference as possible! Also, if you'd like to view a work in progress, ask in advance!

Once I'm done I'm done. I can however tweak colors.

Shoot me a note with ANY questions and orders.

"There will be a price for this, Azula. I hope you're prepared to pay it"
It makes sense for them to be who they are. Mai as the gun-toting stoic, Ty-Lee as the mostly cheerful one in over her head and Azula as a morally-ambiguous, psychologically scarred mass-murderer.
Er, spoilers.

Also, because of this, I cannot stop imagining Sokka in an open polo shirt waving a piece of paper on a pencil like a flag saying "C'mon, you expect me to believe that's a real gun".

I'd be willing to see remake of Spec Ops with these three! Though I do wonder: Who would be Konrad and The Radioman?

pack111 In reply to yahtzeefan [2013-03-19 05:11:08 +0000 UTC]

Aang could be a good Konrad. Due to the fact that both Aang and Konrad both have a lot of power and responsibility. Plus both Azula's group and Walker's group are looking Aang and Konrad respectivly. The difference between them would be that Aang manages to not let the darkness take him while Konrad fails to overcome the darkness that take him.

Hmmm. That's good. But what about the Radioman?

And I think Long Feng could make a good Riggs.

Hmmm, that is a tough one radio man. I was thinking Sokka cause he likes to talk sometimes and in some ways he is like the second command to the Avatar team, but I am not so sure.

You'll have to forgive my bad rendition of TAR-21. Lugo carried it in the game and I kinda thought Ty-Lee's precise chi-blocking in Avatar kinda went with Lugo's sniping.

Awesome characters, color palette, background, and composition.
Feels like a still frame from an animation that I'd like to see.

I'm sure there's an airbender in this Heart of Darkness! Think about it... Aang isn't that far from looking like Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.

pack111 In reply to jdeberge [2013-03-15 19:14:31 +0000 UTC]

That is an intresting comparrison. When you think about, Colonel Kurtz was a powerful man who manages to fall and lose everything, with certain choices Aang would have probable ended up like him.

"Status is chafed, ma'am. A local airborne insurgent has infiltrated the zone known as my pants, ma'am."
"Shut up, jackass!"

But doesn't it get so much warmer and fuzzier as it goes on?

And then you've got your inspiration for the endgame for Azula:
