Description What I was working on before I was so rudely interrupted by MY TABLET DYING. D<

Since I have a huge lineup of commissions that come before this, this puppy probably won't be finished for quite awhile, so I figured I'd upload it now. Plan on painting it realistically, since I need practice drawing people.

Also, I'm bored.

AND I LOVE KATARA. ;; *cling*

Avatar does not belong to me.

NOT DONE YET.

I actually like this more than the finished one (which is amazing by the way) but this one, the folds of the fabric is more believable.
But i just love this

great muscle definition and love expression on their faces. I've never seen this cartoon, but it looks pretty great

I LOVE the style of her clothing. You've really managed to incorporate/expand upon Water Tribe fashion in a cool way. There aren't many artists that can do that with an existing style.

Nice work.

Aiee! You did flip it! That's awesome!

And it's looking great, too! Can't wait to see it finished. The pose is so intimate and loving and casual, which is just Kataang in a nutshell. I love it.

We aim to please. X'D

And thankee thankee! *glomp* Now that I have a week off for Thanksgiving break and I got my tablet replaced, I'm actually optimistic about getting this done somewhat soon. I'm super 'cited. :3! These guys are just so much fun to draw!

I have this rule about not faving WIPs, but this is really cool. I especially like the position of her hands. It's very natural in a realistic sense, but few artists use the pose.
What's cool is that this even works, artistically, if you're like me and have never watched Avatar.

Nylak In reply to LadyBlacksword [2008-11-20 15:30:48 +0000 UTC]

I actually really appreciate that; I know most comments/faves I receive on my Avatar fanart is given by fans of the series, so it means a lot to me when people who've never seen it like it, as well. *cling* Sankuuu. ;;

Also, yes, I'm unnaturally happy with her hands. XD I love hands so much, but I'm so weak at drawing them in general that I get super thrilled when they don't look like total crap. *cough.*

LadyBlacksword In reply to Nylak [2008-11-21 05:54:35 +0000 UTC]

Aww. You're welcome.

You have reason to be happy with them. What I really like is that you used such a "real" pose for them. I've seen that pose so rarely. And it does an excellent job of showing off how good the hands themselves are, not to mention showing off how good the general anatomy is, as that doesn't work if the arm length and shoulders aren't right.

Note, I can't draw realistically at all, or even figuratively well enough to let people see it, but I do actually understand anatomy and drawing. So it really trips my trigger to see it done well.

I know I'm probably missing the point but I just have to ask, why do they look old?

I just like drawing em older. *shrug.* XD ...Aaaand it makes me feel a little less perverted.

Ok be it my culture maybe, but the two cultures standing together is amazing I also love you did a realistic version of avatar. Also very close, some do more realistic versions which while good can be a little of from former detail. Though you have this media down pat. Stunning work.

I know, right?! I have this major thing for cross-ethnic pairing; it's just so aesthetically appealing to me. XD I probably accentuated Katara's "darkness" a bit too much, but I just couldn't help myself.

I love her arms wrapping around his neck, kissing him. Love the way her hair just lays and flows like that as well.

WildCanvasCreations [2008-11-18 20:27:15 +0000 UTC]

it! I just want to point out the lines on Katara's belly area- they make the area look bony, or maybe even a little saggy. I think it would look a little better with less lines to make it look more smooth? I understand it's a WIP, so, hey, no pressure! But other than that, though, everything is great! I love the folds in the clothes, too!

Nylak In reply to WildCanvasCreations [2008-11-18 20:32:34 +0000 UTC]

Yep, they're gonna go away; I agree they're really distracting/fugly right now. XD All the lines are, actually; they're just in there to function as notes when I start shading. I tend to forget things otherwise. e.e;

WildCanvasCreations In reply to Nylak [2008-11-18 20:35:08 +0000 UTC]

Can't wait to see it finished! Lol, I do the same things with my sketches! I go over it with color on another layer, on Multiply, so I can see the sketch under it and then do the shading that way. I tend to shade my sketches before I color them- 'tis a silly habit, but it works!

Nylak In reply to WildCanvasCreations [2008-11-18 20:50:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I totally do the same thing with 95% of my drawings! I like working in black and white and then adding the colour over it in multiply/overlay layers; it makes it so much easier/cleaner, you know? >> Especially with stuff that has complicated markings/patterns. XD
