Holy crap, Artrix submits something that does not start with "Artrix's take on"!

But the situation is somewhat more complicated than that. It's true that Artrix's take on Danny Phantom is similar to this one, in that I molded the actual series into something dark, so technically, it's still a "take on".

Except that the Danny Phantom piece, or rather, it's back story, never took off. I'm glad it did not, because it was the lamest piece of shit back story I've ever written.

Admitted, Inspector Iroh pretty much started the same way. It started with a brain fart of combining Avatar with Baantjer, a Dutch television series about two murder investigators in Amsterdam city. The initial sketch that started it can be found here . Notice that the filename is still "baantjer".

Instead of disappearing into obscurity, it took off and developed into something that many Avatar fans can enjoy. I was surprised that people were actually drawing fan art of what is essentially fan art, and things started to heat up when Rufftoon herself decided to post her take on the franchise. Seeing as Rufftoon actually worked on Avatar, it meant that Inspector Iroh was now a fraction of a percent canon. Okay, so maybe not, but it's an amusing thought.

Instead of keeping it all to myself, I decided to pull a Linux and made the franchise "open source" by creating an round robin comic that runs to this day. Simply visit ~InspectorIroh to see the result thus far.

Now, after a previous, but failed attempt, I created a movie-type poster for the franchise. I wanted to create something that would set the tone of this particular universe, and to show some of it's features, like the upgrading air bisons and the Kyoshi bikes.

This isn't necessarily something that I spend a lot of time on. I wanted to a rougher look and experiment with pencil-inking and rough, grainy effects. This is also the first time I take full advantage of my new line-art-to-transparent technique, which combines the freedom of paper and the flexibility of computer-drawn lines.

That's enough image description. Enabling advanced criticism for obvious reasons. Hope you guys enjoy :]
