Description There is no giant "AAAAAAAAH" written behind them because the entire left half of this picture is one enormous, physical representation of "AAAAAAAAAH" in its most concentrated form.

Dead man walking, thy name is Teo.

(This is dropping into scraps soon, though a colored version may find a permanent place in my gallery. If I can figure out a way to color it and not have it look like the dog's breakfast. I promise something that isn't Teoph will show up on this gallery eventually, I'm on a binge at the moment is all.)

Awesome! They're one of my favorite pairings for Avatar, and they don't get enough love...

Looks like Teo and Toph decided to sport a new do too

The clothes flying up and the expressions look great!
Sneaky Teo provoking Toph and getting a "hug" out of her (even if it is more of a death grip).

A crafty fellow, indeed! I threw in as much hair and clothing movement as I could, to give the idea that they've gone into a steep dive through the air without, y'know, drawing the sky. (And yeah, I enjoy playing with new hairstyles in future/alternate versions of characters. The Avatar character designers and I have that in common.)

Honestly, I had never even considered Toph and Teo. But they'd be beyond perfect together; look at it! She's blind and he's a paraplegic!

TobuIshi In reply to RookieBlossom [2008-10-02 08:33:20 +0000 UTC]

*winces* Er...that's not why I like them, but I'm glad you like the idea? I think their personalities mesh beautifully--like somebody else said here, they eat danger for breakfast and love a challenge, and his even temper could accommodate her sharp one without taking damage.

Girl, you should know that I've got a f***ed up sense of humor, and a abstract view of the world! This is RookieBlossom, and if ya don't know, ya bettah ask somebody! But on the serious tip, I cannot believe that I'm the only one who saw that, and yet I forgot about their daredevil tendencies! Doi!

OKI.

I'VE FOUND MY NEW PAIRING LOVE, GUIS. 8D
simply awesomesauce.
love the poses, specially how Toph is STILL small when she's older-- i've always liked the idea of the strongest earth/metalbender in the world is still a shrimp X3

the expressions are spot on too-- LOL stupid sexy Teo, and TOPH... i don't think i've ever seen that expression on her-- DAWWW~

...omg.
Teo-Toph... Toph-Teo... Teoph... Toeo? T...T...T-TTTT *esplodes*

XDDD
amazing

his legs

TobuIshi In reply to jyuuki [2008-10-02 08:49:44 +0000 UTC]

Yee!

Yeah, I've seen people drawing her as a mighty Xena of a woman, and it never really fit for me. She's not built like someone who'll grow into a hulk--I always pictured her more like my old karate sensei, a tiny Asian woman whose only sign of strength was the sturdiness of her wrists and ankles, and yet who was capable of flipping adult men over her hip without so much as straining, let alone breaking a sweat.

I've seen that expression on her. When she gets snagged by a Dai Li under Lake Laogai, Jet plucks her out of the air with one hook-sword and she makes the face I used as reference for this picture while he's swinging her around by the belt.

jyuuki In reply to TobuIshi [2008-10-02 20:31:52 +0000 UTC]

YEAAAAAAAA~ exactly! She'd be that old karate sensei who is always underestimated for her size, and after they learn she's blind she gets even MORE underestimated-- but then they soon learn by getting their butts kicked XDD and I can see Old Lady!Toph still forever having her sarcastic, stubborn attitude (:

LOL OH WOW.
hilarious that she's the only one in that whole scene that's freaking out-- all the others are all serious-faised. Poor Toph. Stupid sexy Jet Ahh~ man I miss Avatar.

Heehee...

Student: ALL RIGHT, SHRIMP, are you gonna show me some fancy moves or am I gonna start wipin' the walls with you?
Toph: You're kinda failing to grasp Earthbending. C'mere and let me demonstrate.
*BOOT TO THE HEAD*
Student: Owwwwwwwwwwwwww...! You BOOTED ME IN THE HEAD!
Toph: Consider yourself lucky--not a lot of novices see so much of my technique so soon.

(Technically she's the only one in that whole scene being swung around upside down, so I'd say she's justified... XD)

This picture is amazing, the perceptive and overlaping are really great...i suck at that but i'm working on it. Anyways, i think The Toph has been hanging out with The Boulder a little too much

TobuIshi In reply to EvilChibiAngel [2008-10-02 08:36:01 +0000 UTC]

*chuckles* If you pay attention, in the battle in "The Awakening" she yells a command to "LOAD THE TOPH!" when she's preparing to attack. Years as an Earth Rumble champion may indeed have had their insidious influence...

EvilChibiAngel In reply to TobuIshi [2008-10-02 13:18:12 +0000 UTC]

must watch Avakening again! I guess being in the Earth Rumble causes people to refer to themselves in third person.

TobuIshi In reply to Deathcomes4u [2008-10-02 08:37:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! He endeared himself to me almost instantly by laughing like a maniac while buzz-bombing an air bison in his glider--I've never been able to see him as dull after that, just a fascinating mix of high spirits, determination, and surprising gentleness.

I love her outfit/costume/whatever (either you're awesome at cute new costumes or I'm REALLY unobservant about the finale)

Also, that's exactly why they make a good pair! they're both like "psh, danger? I eat that for breakfast. [omnomnom!]" (except that Teo's got the one thing that would scare Toph witless)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TobuIshi In reply to Ren-Da-Riter [2008-10-01 22:55:20 +0000 UTC]

Exactly. (Well, there are other things they have in common, too, but I love that point especially.) I like to imagine them racing each other around the Temple on his glider and her gravity-defying Earthbending sprint...

The costume is based around one of these shirts: [link] From there, I added loose pants and some drapery around her waist to make it less boring, and left her her wristbands. Pretty simple. ^^

aww, see now that's creative! I love her hair, too. changing it up a little.

If i had any talent in the area of backgrounds (or really, drawing in general ) I would totally draw that race. :]
