Description
Still got Avatar on the mind.Rough pencils (actually pretty clean, but still...rough work) of Iroh costume reference notes. Except for the younger Iroh (extreme left, completely invented, story idea too) and the General Iroh (Ba Sing Se siege), the clothes are referenced from screenshots. The thing is, with his general armour, nothing was seen below the breastplate. The big flame design can be seen on other generals' armours in the serie. But the lower part is still just speculation.
Seeing how little Iroh changed over the years, I didn't dare move too far away from his overall look for his younger self.
Eh, that's the thing before starting projects or ideas: notes notes and more notes. See what work, doodles for easy reference during work, etc...Just in case I ever do something with all these.
Grayscales added on Photoshop.
Stick Daemons make little commentaries apparitions. They tend to do that, but not too often.
Iroh belong to Mike and Bryan, Nickelodeon and Viacom. I'm just having fun drawing him.

Very welcome. Iroh is also one of my fave characters. I wish that one day, they'll tell more stories about his past. In the meantime, I guess it doesn't hurt to just make up stuff

Wow, that's so great of you to reply to comments after all you must get!
And yes, I agree--I really do hope that we find out more about Iroh's past someday!
I really should draw some Iroh fanart....

Awesome! I've always found aging/younger...ing... *pauses to contemplate whether that counts as a word* characters a bit difficult for me, but you seem to be able to pull it off easily! Kudos to you!

Many thanks. It can be actually pretty difficult; change them too much, and suddenly they don't look like they should and lose their personality. Aw what the hey, this is all just practice until something clicks right.

Oh, wonderful! I do like the gentle "widening" of his... "experience" lol! He looks very grandfather-y at the end. Amazing how that mild visage hides such immense power.
Beautiful job! I do like the bottom of the BSS siege uniform. Fitting.

I love that he sloooowly puts on a bit more retirement weight. Makes me laugh. Iroh is just too adorable.
Love the designs though! Creative.

And it looks like he got most of his weight after Ba Sing Se. HE had to keep more fit back then I guess.

Strangely enough, I think I like older Iroh the best. That might be because I'm more used to it. But 20's Iroh has the cape. Yes, the cape, it's pretty.
