Nomadid colors

[secondlina]

 

Yeah. It's Saturday. Which means it's "Isa draws a big fanart to test out capacities she doesn't have" day. URGH. I wanted to test out detailed characters over a painterly background. Yeah, the result is a bit "meh". Oh well. Maybe if I didn't test out a sunset at the same time, the result would have been better.

It's Aang, Tenzin (their kid in the new series) and Katara being nomadic and cute. I'm sure Appa and Momo are flying around somewhere in the background. I loved photos of Tibetans with colored clothing and baby wraps climbing mountains, so I tried to do something with about the same feel. 

EDIT : Changed the version on top. The original had a "sunset tint" on the clothing that made everyone ask me why Aang's arrow was pink. To see the tinted version, click here.

earthstar_chan  and gullwhacker  are no longer visiting. They went home. It was a fun week. We mostly hung out and visited a few cool parts of Montréal. And an interesting exhibit at the museum of science about sex. It was an educational exhibit, but me and earthstar_chan  are still traumatized by the antique vibrator. Behold : 



Yeah, that's terrifying. For more "fun" examples, visit http://www.vibratormuseum.com/

I guess i'll leave you guys with these frightening images. It's time for me to eat. Eat bacon. Hmmmmm. Bacon.

Weird post. Avatar cuteness, followed by evil technology, then bacon.

That is a gorgeous image of Aang and Katara. I love the colors that you used, and I think it turned out well.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'm still meh about it.

**long time lurker of your art breaking away from the lurking-ness**

**drools over art**

Your reaction may be "meh" but I still love this. I'm not sure if it's the subject or what but I REALLY love this... Thank you for drawing it! ^_^

**slinks back into lurking**

Aw, I,m glad you like it! :D

[engelen.livejournal.com]

awwwwn nice concept <3

I think the bg looks ok... the clothing color... not so much :( sorry

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Here the version without the "sunset" tint. It might look better : http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c84/secondlina/nomadscopy.jpg

[engelen.livejournal.com]

it's not so much the filter, but the base color palette...

[misssashay.livejournal.com]

Oh how pretty!! LOL Aang's arrow is pink... is that the love-my-family state? ;) Love Katara's hair the best.

And wow LOL that vibrator looks more like a power tool. n_n;

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

....Naw, it was the "sunset" tint I used that made him look pink. I just changed it if you check out the image again. It's kinda crappy I guess

GAH I KNOW! POWERTOOL VIBRATOR

If you go to the antique museum, they have manual operated ones that look like eggbeaters too. Not better. Less better.

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

Ya! The finish product! It looks awesome and I think Aang looks adorable holding baby Tenzin.

(Those old vibrators will forever haunt our nightmares!)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

(I KNOOOOOOWWW)

[comicaddict.livejournal.com]

The vibrator is seriously disturbing and hilarious all at the same time.

I actually quite like what you did with the colors on that piece as well.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It's more disturbing if you're a girl I think. You feel pain for past generations of vaginas.

[angelchan-2004.livejournal.com]

I really love this<33 I love the faces and the outfits and the hint of orange and red in Katara's outfit. Toning pictures to match the scene can be really hard. ;.; I think your sunset toned one looks pretty good, though!

And, uh... those old vibrators scare me. D:

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I though the orange in Katara's costume was a nice touch. Her way of saying she's with him.

...yes, they are scary, scary things.

[vonandmoggy.livejournal.com]

Beautiful painting/drawing! Absolutely lovely!

Now I must go and stare some more at the vibrator...in...horrified fascination...yikes.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I know! I looked thru all the website myself. It's oddly fascinating.

[elle-white.livejournal.com]

Oh, that image of Aang and Katara is beautiful! This was a wonderful thing to wake up to! :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

THanks!

[elirrina.livejournal.com]

You know, I rarely have anything to say about your drawings other than "I love it!" So this is me not really breaking the trend.

♥

I really like the clothing you came up with.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Hahahahah, thanks for saying it anyways, it's always welcomed!

I could be an earth kingdom fashion designer.

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

I love it. Very pretty.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Heee! They're both just wonderful! I love them!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Cute and colorful love

[bonemarch.livejournal.com]

Okay looking at the last pick I see about half way down the paper they have the long piece that looks like a lawn mower blade... What exactly is that suppose to do? I feel... A little... Scared.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Do not want to know man. *is traumatized*

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

Whoa. I think I'm gonna go wash my eyes out before bed. DX;

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's why I started the post with Kataang. I figured it would make the second part more bearable XD

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting for the day when you draw some ZukoKatara.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. I drew some in the past for earthstart_chan. I promised her I would draw some again. since you want it too, I cannot deny you guys! I promise my next avatar drawing will be zutara. :D

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

Awwww. I should have wished for it as a birthday gift!

[fenmere.livejournal.com]

That illustration makes me go "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha. Awesome XD

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

OMG! LOL! Someone actually 'used' that?!? 0o

Awesome fan art as well my sweet! Glad you had a fun visit with friends! :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I hope not XD

[brendala.livejournal.com]

Awesome fanart (I think the background and colors look beautiful). I especially love the new clothes you designed for Aang and Katara. And the character's personalities really shine through (Aang seems like the type who would insist on carrying the baby). ^_^


Dear Lord, just looking at those vintage vibrators is painful! The women who used those back in the day must have been seriously desperate! >_<

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Dude. I think he would ALWAYS carry the baby. And love every moment of it.

I think a few of these vibrators were actually "tools" in asylums. Since they treated female hysteria with orgasms. Considering a few look like they require two people or more to be operated...

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Those antique vibrators were once used by doctors to relieve diagnosed anxiety problems in women. That's one way to increase the number of patients in your practice!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Sorta. It's still very invasive. I,m guessing a few women didn't like having their doctor do that sort of thing.

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

No doubt about it; certainly they walked in with more than a little trepidation. But considering how constrictive society was back then, a lot of them probably ended up with a pleasant surprise.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I dunno man. Assuming it's fun because an orgasm is involved may not be true. You're hysterical, and the doctor "knows" what you need, and pulls out something that vaguely looks like a gun and asks you to open you legs (asking with male nurses sometimes involved?). Doesn't sound like fun to me. Sounds a lot more like rape.

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

I saw a show about it on the history channel, of all places. The women weren't dragged kicking and screaming to the doctor, and generally, they weren't really hysterical: It was one of those catchall terms used to describe a whole group of mysterious "women's" ailments, and it appears most of the women were more than happy to go back for follow-up appointments. What it boils down to, apparently, is that the men of the time were ignorant of how to please women in bed, and also didn't care -- not all that unlike many of the men of today. Imagine a researcher these days announcing that, say, occasional depression could be solved by really good sex, except of course they couldn't be so blunt as to put it that way back then. How the doctors felt about it I don't know, but if the interviewed researchers are correct, it was quite popular with the ladies.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Well i'll be damned then! :D

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

It was a different time -- that's for sure!

[jason-register.livejournal.com]

Awesome pic, and... WOW! People used that thing?! Scary!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I know, it's like a steampunk nightmare.
