Description the "Finish Avatar" project. Leave me a suggestion for a picture

Featured in: "Sokka's Master"

...

I do a lot of Sokka pictures...


(to show a few...)

Most of the time it's his legendary, usually self inflicted, misfortune. It's not often that comedic relief in a show ascends to such memorable levels... but, get a couple of Avatards in a room together, and you will no doubt get to the topic of funny sokka-isms.

Today though, I'd like to spotlight something else about him as a character.

Sokka's just an awesome guy. From his "Warrior's Wolf Tail," to his unmatched Haiku skills. From his sarcastic jokes and hilarious nicknames, to his boomerang.

He's funny... but when it comes to the important things in life he's sincere. He's intelligent, a natural leader, works hard (most of the time), and fights to protect the people and causes that mean the most to him.

This episode- I think- really shows off the best parts of what makes him Sokka. The way he threw himself into the work in his own unique way. I was so proud of him when he confessed his real name and intentions.

There's no doubt in my mind that he'll become a central figure in the "Order of the White Lotus" at some point... if not a Grand Master. He has all the makings of it

Damn, that's great. When I first saw this I thought it was an actual screenshot from the episode; that's how good it is.

"His unmatched Haiku skills"

This is probably just me having a moment, but... is his sword hand backwards?

Mattierial In reply to TheStoryNeverEnds [2011-11-29 16:52:02 +0000 UTC]

What he said

Yeah... I was trying to understand why they did that too. But, it's there so I did it that way too . I think it looks pretty cool.

Whenever people hold swords or daggers backwards it just looks awesome and dangerous to me

KajininNoKonoha In reply to TheStoryNeverEnds [2011-11-29 06:19:16 +0000 UTC]

No, he was holding the sword by the hilt, upside down, and he blocked the sword strike with the sword while it was still in it's scabbard/sheath. Or, at least I think that's right....

One of my favorite episodes, though knowing you I thought you'd have done the scene where he paints the scenery.

Yeah, this was one of my favorite episodes, just because we see a different side of Sokka.

He would make an amazing (albeit interesting) White Lotus member...

Great rendition!

Okay this is one of those moments when I have to lye on the floor and have a spazz attack. Give me a second... (Lily lyes on the floor and has a strange spazz attack) *2 minutes later* (Lily gets off of the floor) OKAY now that I got that out of my system... (twitch) ONE OF THE GREATEST SOKKA MOMENTS EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, I was worried! I didn't want anyone to injure themselves in spazz attack after viewing one of my pictures . Perhaps DA should institute a fandom "Spazz Attack Warning," like they do with "Mature Content." Then we could prepare ourselves before seeing awesome characters like Sokka

Just kidding . I'm glad you like it. Sokka is a pretty awesome character, and it was great to see him train (like we saw all the other characters train with bending). He proved that you didn't have to be born with the power to bend to be a worthy warrior

I'm trying to do a project where I finish a picture for every episode of Avatar. So, it's almost a given

SweeperOfOiDong In reply to Mattierial [2011-11-29 18:04:13 +0000 UTC]

btw, did you notice the blooper in this scene? When Sokka whips around to confront Piandao, he draws his sword from the scabbard, but in the next shot (this one) you see that the scabbard is still on. Check it out

Wow... no I didn't, I'll have to go back and watch it! That's so weird... you think I'd notice, I was paying attention to all of the other details in "this" exact scene, I guess I didn't pay attention before that

Something tells me that if he did grow up to become a White Lotus member, he'd probably go overboard with the cloak-and-dagger stuff.

Mattierial In reply to Chrispy92 [2011-11-29 16:44:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah

I think so... at first. Then, I think he'd settle in and calm down. He'd be a lot like Iroh is: Old, wise, but still full of energy and humor

Chrispy92 In reply to Mattierial [2011-11-29 20:06:02 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure once he matures, he'd be a fine man. And you can't go wrong with humor.

Most of the time anyway...
