Oh noes, don't be so sad! ;-; I would love to see your entry if you decide to submit one~!

Thanks for the appreciation!

This is by far one of the best Avatar pics I've seen yet. Keep up the good work! X3

@SG Creations:

Yeah, I was noticing the narrowness in his figure. It looks a bit better on the original paper, so I think the scanner might have just slightly distorted it. ;-;

Thanks for the comment (and the criticism, it's always helpful! :D)

@kita mikichi:

It wasn't that hard to scan it in two parts, but it was a nightmare to put the parts together so they would fit. ;-;

I scanned the paper in two halves: the upper and lower half. I put the paper into the scanner to fit as much of the drawing as I could and scanned it. To get the rest of the drawing, I then put the paper back in the scanner and turned it around to scan the other half. Then I spent an hour in Photoshop to stick the two halves together. ;-;

I hope that helped. Thanks for the comment! :D

Ooh, this looks really cool. ^^

P.S.:How do you scan it in two parts??? (My paper is also too big for my scanner. -_-')

@just.me:

Thanks so much for the appreciation! :>

The paper was 11' x 14' smooth Bristol paper. The paper itself is great: it's really smooth (like the name :D) and brings out the colors in my pencils well. The paper itself is bright white - I just penciled in the yellow coloring and applied an old paper texture in Photoshop to finish the effect. ;D

Bawh, I hope you do well in the contest too! Your Momo picture was amazingly adorable. <3

Gaah, thanks for the comment! :D

PS: Don't see the movie. It was awful. ;-;

Uhh goldy... this is really breathtakingly beautiful!! <3

Man I just LOVE this piece. You're amazing with colored pencils. What kind of paper did you use? Wasn't it hard to overpower that yellow color of the paper?

Gosh the coloring is simply amazing and I simply love how you did the edges of each element. They all fit so well together and that dragon design is pretty awesome! But my favorites are the wind element and the earth element. And I love how aang bends all four elements. I'd definitely love to have this hanging on a wall! :P <3

I had a somewhat similar image in mind to draw for this contest *yes I wanted that double bonus too! hehe but I don't know if I can make it in time since I'm going on vacation the 14th and I'm really busy at the moment :P* but then with people (I've been thinking of adding the representative animals but I couldn't figure out how they would nicely fit in :P*

Good luck in the contest! ;D I bet you'll do great :P

8D.....
......... 8D

....is what happens when one is speechless. You know, sort of like how I am now! I'd hug this twice if I could...The coloring is so terrific, and the style in which the elements are represented are so fitting to the series, yet at the same time holds your touch. I love how Aang is shown with the small swirls of elements in the middle!
this is great! Wonderful job!

I don't have words for this...it's just too awesome...

Two words: A-mazing! *laughs*

You did an excellent job! Glad this was a great way for you to dust off your Prismacolors! (They are pretty rad pencils. Mine are getting dusty...)

I love how you incorporated all the elements AND you featured the animals who originated the bending. That's a Quadruple bonus in MY book! Heehee

Thanks for participating! Good luck!

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!
I love the coloring and that you use the elemental animals

omg so epic, the only issue i have with it is his right arm looks slightly off and his body looks slightly off balance. the coloring is awesome nice job

From the details to the overall effect, this is awesome! 8D

WOAH!!! That looks too aesome! The colouring is amazing and the inking is awesome, too! O.O

How did you fix it when they were in two pieces? O.o Wow...O.O Even more wow for fixing up that problem! O.O
