Description ITA Ho impiegato cinque giorni per fare questa illustrazione, l’ho disegnata subito, ma per colorarla avevo molte perplessità che mi hanno allungato di molto il tempo di lavorazione. Cinque giorni è un record per me, ma sono più che soddisfatta del risultato, è venuto esattamente come speravo venisse.
Ringrazio i tutorial di , che mi hanno fatto capire piano piano alcune cose fondamentali per una colorazione da brivido. Non mi ritengo ancora alla sua altezza, ma piano piano ci provo.
Ho fatto questa illustrazione pensando al momento in cui l’oracolo dice ad Aang di lasciare andare, il suo sguardo dovrebbe essere metafora di questo, come se guardasse lontano e si domandasse come fare. Perché farlo, soprattutto. Come se entrasse nella serietà interiore per raccogliersi e riuscire nell’impresa. Come se stesse dicendo addio.
Le scritte sono un font che ho trovato tempo fa, ho pensato di poter “riassumere” Aang con i simboli. Sotto, ognuno ha il proprio significato (che spero sia corretto).
Qui trovate il disegno e le chine [link]
Spero vi piaccia almeno quanto piace a me.

ENG This one took five days to be done, I drew it fast, but I was a bit puzzled on the coloring, so the whole process took me quite a while.
Five days is a record for me, but I am proud of the result as it came out exactly like I hoped it to be.
I'd like to thank 's tutorials, that let me understand some essential trick about the colour process.
I'm still not as smart as him, but I'm slowly improving.
I've made this illustration thinking about the moment when the oracle says to Aang to let it go. His look should be a metaphor of that, he is looking far away like he was thinking how to do that and, above all, why to let go. As if he was focusing on his inner seriousness just to succeed. As if he was about to say goodbye forever.
I found out the font some time ago, and I thought I could "represent" Aang through its symbols. You can find their meaning below here (I hope they are correct).
Here you can find the sketch and the Indian Ink versions [link]
I hope you will like it as much as I do.

Problem with your Chinese.... (Deviant art wont let me type in Chinese)

Child- you wrote down (zi) this is only the first symbol of the complete word, it should be (hai zi) [link]

Boy- you put (nan) again you put only the fist symbol, its (lian hai) [link]

Good- you wrote this differently it does say (good) but there is a simpler one... (ho'w) Yes you pronounce it like the word *how* [link]

Love- O_O I have no idea what you wrote its not even a meaning of love... its like you combined two characters... Love is... (ai) [link]

Courage- again its one way of saying it... more properly would be (lio chi) [link]

Life- you have (shun)... correct way is (shu hwo) [link]

I hope this helped

Not Japanese, its Chinese. They seem a lot alike but, no, its not. (I live in Taiwan for over 10 years and know Chinese and Japanese pretty well*)

wow, accidenti! è davvero venuto magnificamente. sono semplicemente senza parole. Aang ha un'espressione così malinconica, povero. La puntata dove medita col guru è una delle mie preferite, ha molti pensieri profondi.
fa piacere trovare persona italiane che conoscono e amano Avatar!

to let everything go is the key, even your loved ones and yourself (there i go, saying deep things again...).

the loved ones part was very hard for him to do (and he FINALLY admitted out loud he loves Katara) and I don't blame him. but in the finale he learned to let it all out to save the world from the utter destruction of Ozai

patronustrip In reply to lilmizzkrazie [2010-05-13 08:32:43 +0000 UTC]

Yes, Aang is a child with a great heart and paceful soul, but the love for Katara was his only weakness.
In fact i'm very surprise when I see how Aang defeats Ozai without kill him, I think is one of the more beautiful happy-ending that I've seen. The power of the love!
Every Avatar before him are "folded" at the cruel of the life for the peace, but no Aang
I hope that in this real life we can find a non-violence way to the peace

lilmizzkrazie In reply to patronustrip [2010-05-13 14:02:40 +0000 UTC]

, that's partially because he's still just technically a kid. but you make a good point (you say deep things too!).

L'erba e i fiori hanno un dettaglio impressionante. Il corpo e la posizione sono molto plastiche mentre la colorazione rende perfettamente il volume.

Ottimo lavoro!

No, non sto imparando adesso è solo il metodo nuovo che ho usato che mi era poco familiare, ma coloravo al computer già da molti anni.
Grazie
