I Find Myself Lost In My Own Writing. I Feel The Wind On My Skin And See Flying Beasts With Eyes Wide

Same and more. Overall writing was so dull. It lacked the complexity and depth of the original.

My views on the atla live action (6.8 out of 10)

What I liked about atla live action:

Zuko, aang, iroh, monk Gyasto and jets actors really knocked the ball out the park so far

I liked how they showed that there were people in the fire nation who fought back regarding resisting the war, and how azula went undercover to expose them. That scene showed not all fire benders were bad or agreed to the war due to the loss of lives

I liked how they portrayed monk gyasto and his bond with aang.

The scene with the earth kingdom soldier, iroh and the scene with Lieu ten was amazingly done. It really captured how loss happened on both sides, while showcasing more of who lieu ten was as a person and also Zuko’s kind nature towards Iroh

Iroh joining Zuko on the boat after his banishment was a beautiful scene

Issues

Aang meeting kyoshi too early and learning about the attack on the northern water tribe which he shouldn’t know

Suki and sokkas romance didn’t develop over sokka learning from his sexism. It takes away from their development

Azula didn’t bend or fight enough. Also Ozai hated Zuko and adored azula but here it seems azula is fighting for his approval? It takes away from her character. She had it ALL and Zuko didn’t. Also ozai did not care if zuko discovered aang he just wanted him to suffer. He hated his son but in this version they make it seem like he cares?

Aang isn’t training enough at all. We only see katara training on her waterbending but she trained with aang too. In the series it focuses more on aang going to the northern water tribe rather than learning the elements and helping others along the way.

Kataang needed more moments. So far they only had a few but I liked the one they shared in the final episode

Sokka seems to not like aang? It seems like he’s only there for his own benefit when in the original he warms up to aang.

Ozai learning of aangs existence too early on makes it less easy for aang to travel on his journey.

Aang and sokka didn’t meet Jet

The meaning of the cave of two lovers didn’t make sense. Also it didn’t help aang as he was not there to learn more about the badger moles and earth bending. Plus he kissed katara there, so that love development is gone.

Wan shi tong shouldn’t be there in book 1 and sokka and katara shouldn’t be in the spirit world

Where is Appa and momo? They barely are shown. If they were pets with zero presence I wouldn’t mind but in this series they are apart if the show but the live action doesn’t showcase them enough.

No Jeong Jeong ? he was a huge character regarding the use of fire plus aang had trauma fire bending. Will he still show up in the future if this is renewed?

Azula shouldn’t lose her cool she seems like she’s already cracking and that’s not her character. She is perfect and that breaks her in book 3. Not book 1. Also her fire is not blue.

Aang is a bit too focused on being the avatar i wish it wasn’t so strong at times

Why is the fog of lost souls showing up in atla?

Rokus erased as aangs guide isn’t the best change since he’s tied to the reason why the war happened. Also he links to zukos bloodline and struggle of good and evil.

You just read my mind. Honestly, if they’re going to try to put romance in the series, either write it correctly or don’t add it in at all. In my opinion/hc, to me Wednesday has always read as a character in the aroacespectrum, and in the series context, she reads to me as graysexual, who barely feels any kind of attraction but starts to feel something for Enid.

The typical love triangle trope and white boy love interests were so painfully cliche and badly written, they soured the series a bit for me. Jenna and Myers were brilliant, and the performance of the 2 boys was just so lackluster in comparison for me, their characters were just horrifyingly bland, there just for the romantic drama. It made no sense.

Why add half-assed written characters just to add unnecessary romantic drama because Wednesday is a teenager? Not all teen series gotta have romantic drama. Not all teens experience romance. I just wished they’d stop with the unnecessary romantic drama with half written characters with no personality.

Tyler and Xavier are both so delusional

"I thought you were giving me signals." Wednesday was like a walking pillar this whole time. No emotions, no facial expressions, no signs of liking one nor the other. She contacted both only when she needed a favour or information. There is literally no reason to think Wednesday is interested romantically in any of them . She helped you repair the coffee machine? She saved you from burning without realizing it? Girl shows minimum of courtesy to a boy and he already believes she's in love with him. The only two characters besides her family she shows genuine liking is Eugene (bcuz he reminds her of Pugsley) and Edin.

I kinda liked it more without the black in the clothes, but oh well, too late. I like them both. I really really liked just the simple sketch version too, but my original idea was to do the lineart so I ended up doing it anyway. I really like his face, he looks a lot like a Renaissance statue; very expressive on its own.

Me writing the most traumatic experience for my protagonist:

Mystical town. Urban sketches. #1, set of 10.

I did 10 sketches as part of the sketchbook I had to turn in as art college homework. I really enjoyed doing these urban sketches. At first I was really bummed with the idea, as drawing inanimate things, like buildings and such is not something I particularly enjoy. So I found a way to make it fun; stylize it in a way I’d like it and add something fun to it, something magical and mysterious that wasn’t there in real life. This way, I ended up seriously enjoying these urban sketches.

Because I procrastinated for so long, I had to do in like 5 days, 20 drawings for the sketchbook. I still tried to ignore the pressure and stress I felt and enjoy it, and I succeeded. It was honestly my favorite part of the semester, getting to finally stretch my creative muscles. By ignoring the pressure, and actually having fun with exploring new styles and ways to make my art look different, I managed to breeze through the sketchbook in time.

I’m really proud of those 20 I made, even these set of urban sketches that I really didn’t want to do at the beginning and wasn’t looking forward to. But I’m happy with what I created. Really happy.

Thinking they’d look great as short animations and prints. I’m totally doing that.

Little background I did for my media, including youtube, tumblr and ko-fi. I think it looks super nice :), it is like the second background I draw. I think it’s not that bad, right?

A little something for Inktober. Just daily practice. But slightly more fun 😉
