Description Isn't my title incredibly original?

This is a drawing that I started some time ago, but didn't finish until just this afternoon.

I did a bit of research for this picture, especially into the Hung-gar style of Kung Fu, used in Earthbending. I know Toph uses Southern Praying Mantis, but that was even more difficult to find pictures and videos of . Toph's pose here is confusing- she's leaning forward slightly, her head's a little lowered, and she's turning her torso. Her right foot is blocked due to poor placement of where the rock is coming out from . I'm not very good at compositions, so I tend to draw only a handful of characters at a time .

I realise this picture bears an uncanny resemblance to the DVD cover for Book 2 Volume 2. However, I started this picture and did my research before the picture for that DVD cover went online. As such, you can imagine my disappointment and frustration when I saw it. I think that's what put me off from finishing this until now.

I'm happy with the way the rock turned out though...

I mean, this is what earthbending's all about, right? Gratuitous foot-stomping, and huge chunks of earth coming out of nowhere with lots of displaced dirt flying around. WHEEEE!

I hope you guys like it .

I love watching pictures like this...especially with Toph, who rules.

Very good!
Actually, too darn good to give critique.
I don't know what could be improved.

Awesome!

i love it, especially the rock, the only thing i'd change is the position of her foot is it in the air or on the ground? other than that small thing it's totally awesome!

She's supposed to be stomping on the ground with that foot of hers . The angle's funny, and due to poor planning, the rock's blocking the rest of her body, so it's hard to make out .

Glad you like it though- thanks for the comment!

cool pic again. The dark lines you used to go over the figure are good - make more for the end of his/her shirt sleeve and the bottom of the tunic.

"Isn't my title incredibly original?" - Hahaha... yeah it is! I love this drawing. I can't believe it's just in pencil. The rock DID come out really really nicely. Sucks abouts the DVD cover though. I really like how you outlined and darkened certain parts of the image. Rock on!
