Artist's Comments


Major Edit: Since this is my last 'Two Sides' pic, I decided it needed to be a bit more eventful (that, and Toph deserves a much better tribute :D). I added a second view, from the other side of the room. The picture feels a lot more complete now; I'm glad I added on to it. Enjoy :).

Oh, and you don't have to comment a second time if you don't want to, lol XD.


Toph Bei Fong and The Blind Bandit

Edit: Thanks goes to ~DenraWaterWolf for pointing out "The Blind Bandit" was a more appropriate title than "The Runaway"

---------

Hehe, I kinda regret not including any earthbending in this pic, but I was trying to focus more on Toph's different attitudes -- one as the Bei Fong family's daughter and the other as her earthbender self.

I also tried to give this one more atmosphere and symbolism than the previous entries. And for that I guess I sacrificed dynamic camera angles and element bending, lol =P.

And that's it for the Two-Sides project :phew:. Can't believe I've been working on this for over a year already :XD:.

Hope ya like :D.

Like? More like LOVE. Your two-sides pictures are simply fantastic. I love how it seems you've added a light texture to Toph's clothes and hats. For some reason, it just makes the piece that much better. Great job on the background as well. I think perhaps maybe just a little shading around the teeth area would help. Otherwise I love the color choice for Toph's clothing's shading! Great job on these!

Beautiful job :) You pulled off the lighting perfectly! Also another thing is the harmony of the lines (that sounds dumb), like the lines on the figure closer up don't bring out how small the lines are on the farther one, you know how sometimes people draw a really small detailed pic and put it next to one blown up one and it looks awful... yeah you didn't do that XD And of course the colors are wonderful as well. Great work!

The lighting is absolutely gorgeous. The shading and details with the reflection of Toph and the pillars is amazing--not to mention their designs are beautifully done. Toph's grin and the coloring job you did gives it this glow, but at the same time it has a comic-book texture. Does that make sense? :XD: I don't know. It's just...wow. :D
