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.

this is most awesome I love the flowers and other background bits the best, I think. This is way underappreciated, btw. You deserve more comments and faves than that!

Aang's expression here is.... very intense, to say the least. o.o Makes me almost sad for him. ;~;
All in all, though, great pic. I really enjoy how shiny the eyes are.

Thanks a lot Aang is my favourite character, his heart is pure and his intentions the better.
He's more controversial than what you expect, the most controversial of all maybe, aggravated by the weight of the responsibilities he has.

VeniceGirl In reply to patronustrip [2008-12-11 00:05:30 +0000 UTC]

He is indeed a great character. I thought he was pretty well developed.
You're welcome.
