Description
It's going to go a bit slow paced for a while, sorry about that... Just know that a lot of what is shown can have future impacts.Page original size 5,5" X 8".
Rough pencils. Grey shading, lettering and word ballons done in Photoshop
These pages done for fun, and also as a good exercise in storytelling and planning on such a long scale, which I had not really done before.
I am not planning on inking, cleaning more or coloring them. I simply do not have the time.
The Avatar universe belongs to Mike, Bryan, Nickelodeon-Viacom-MTV.
All the characters belong to them, but a few of the extras are my own creation.

That man is a total bookworm. Β Too bad he tends to burn libraries he borrows from.

Hmm... so Zhao was considered dishounoured because of his defeat and Ozai had his name wiped out? That Fire Lord didnΒ΄t forgive even the ones who supposed to be dead, tsc.

I like how that's done... It feels like time's passing, and you have interesting stuff, too. And he feels sad. Or at least... uh... I don't know what the emotion's called. ^_^"

Maybe. But inns in the Avatar world may not work the same as ours in our time.

Y'know, I've noticed that Zhao's fire nation outift is kinda simular to his water tribe one. Minus the fur coat and things

He went for something he felt comfortable with. He's not a fashion man, especially if he has to dress like for a different culture (one he forgot anyway).

Uhoh, I smell a Sirius Black...if you get the reference. Then again there are people like my best friend who just won't read Harry Potter. But still, his name crossed on every document? Foreboding.

I did read the HP book, but the reference is a bit too far in my memory. Hmmm.
Some people definitely don't want Zhao back.

Thank you!
I'm starting to slowly make progress with making characters look good walking. They sometime look off balance or stiff or what not...

That girl reminds me of Mang.When she was all obsessed with Aang
Hm,very interesting.
He seems to be slightly missing the Water Tribe?
Aw he needs a hug

Ha ha, but this girl is mostly interested in his exoooootic side!
Is he missing the Water Tribe? Maybe. Mostly, he's disappointed of not finding anything familiar in what is his homeland.

Nah, enough of Zhao getting all prettied up.
Thanks- I always wonder if slower pages are boring to people. So I at least try to make them relevant a bit.

Slower parts can be even more interesting than the fight scenes. A lot of mindless violence would just be boring.

lol. in the water tribe he's exotic. in the fire nation he's exotic.
this guy is "tragic" in the way people used to describe mixed people a long time ago when the "races" literally were drawn along terms of "black" and "white" except zhao's case is even more confounded and confusing
