3/20/2012 Major Edit:A huge thanks to AwesomeAltArt on Tumblr for posting the Two Sides series and sending so many followers my way *__*. It reminded me that I needed to update this pic. Made a bunch of changes including some fixes to Katara's hand/face and some adjustments to create a better range of color. Her skin is now closer to the proper tone. I'm not sure what happened the first time around; I'm pretty sure I grabbed the skin color right from a screenshot, but she ended up looking pale as death after all the lighting adjustments I made XD.
Waterbender, Bloodbender.
FINALLY .
I caught a little cold, so while staying home today I started on and finished Katara's illustration in the Two Sides series. It was fun, and surprisingly the angle didn't trouble me as much as I thought it would. The hands, though, were a pain -- and they still don't look quite right .
This concept might seem a bit morbid, I just realized, lol. But if you prefer, pretend the red water is a trick of the light... or grape juice. It's entirely metaphorical anyway .
Sure, she doesn't bloodbend much, but she is rather split. The same loyalty and friendship that makes her sweet will result in some rather...severe...threats.
I really love this. And i also love toph and zukos, because theres makes sense, and i get theres. But i had trouble with aangs and sokka. nice bloodbending drewing
