I remember back in the Avatar days… the typical fanart we would get would be a charming, childish crayon drawing stuffed in an envelope. Nowadays on Korra, I take a skewed screenshot with my phone, post it, and shortly thereafter someone un-skews it, crops it, separates the character levels, clones the background, “Ken Burns” it with a multilevel slide, animates the characters blinking and talking, tints it, and makes a GIF out of it, that I then see on the same phone with which I took the original picture. Times they are a-changin’…
P.S. In case it is unclear, I’m not upset, I’m just amused and amazed.
EDIT: Wait, I got it! A more appropriate classification for this: not fan art, but a fan retake.

It has been too long since I drew something for this blog.
I’m having fun looking through the roughs for these old DVD covers. This one is from October of 2005, and is a rare case where I am actually happy with the final version, even now. I like this sketch too, though. This piece always felt very serene to me.
We had this idea that Korra could not airbend. She had a block. And any time we talked about having it earlier in the season, we felt like we weren’t satisfied. If that’s what this season is about, her learning airbending - the season is called air. It’s gotta be a pivotal thing and the moment that she breaks through - for me, it’s the moment she’s not thinking about herself. Korra’s a very self-centered character. She’s very confident. But that is actually not what she needed. She needed to be selfless.

I love what they said about her getting over her block because she finally wasn’t thinking of herself.
