Slappo!

 I really like onomatopoeia. I do. It's my favorite part of comic drawing I think. And it's not even the fact that you get to draw out the words and make them all pretty. No. It's that reading a sound (like a character falling on something mushy - SBLASFT!) is pretty much hilarious in it's own right. I like onomatopoeia so much, I even use them when I speak (which is a little weird, I admit to describe a printing problem to the repair men as "It when SCHLAKAKAKA BOM PTTTTTTCHHBBBLLLT"). But yeah, I have fun with those. And since i'm french, the onomatopoeia I put in has a tendancy to be neither the classic french ones you find in comics or the classic english ones but these brand new weird words that are just..funny.

Okay, weird part over.

Avatar : The last airbender is a good series. I honestly recommend it to the people on my f-list who, like me 2 weeks ago, still don't know it. Seriously, if you like reading the stuff I put here (fantasy and sarcastic humor, fluid drawings, personality of characters) you'll love Avatar. IT SERIOUSLY MESSES WITH MY PRODUCTIVITY. And yes, I know, it would not mess with my productivity if I had self control... But the hell with self control - IT'S ANIMATED.

In any case...

The_Flowergirl, here is your banner, finally. Sorry it took so long, but honestly, I had to re-draw it after I saw Avatar. It's hard to explain, but my drawings are based a lot on knowing a character and showing it's person through my lines. When I draw I character I don't know, they tend to feel... well, empty. So I really HAD to re-draw it. I put in the grope action, as requested by the fanartist whom's drawing you asked me to base Aang and Katara on. I included here the study sketch I did, because I find it gorgeous. You'll notice the sketch has more lines and less groping then the banner. I always reduce the details in banners because they are ment to be smaller. To compensate I put in DOUBLE GROPE POWER!

If you show this to Queen of the cute, please let me know her reactions :)





I still gotta color Johanne's banner too. Man, I wish I had a colorist. I'm kinda bad and slow at photoshop, but this is part of my training to get better. I'm usually better at traditional coloring methods. 

And no worries slayers fans, didn't forget you....




Too much focus on the butt?

Over and out!

That Avatar banner is adorable (even though I don't recognize the 5 characters floating in the background).

And the Amelia/Zell butt-slap comic was hilarious! XD

Wow, kataang looks pretty good rendered in your style! queenofthecute might have some competition if you ever pick a pairing. ^_~

And for picking the fandoms, I seriously have no clue what's going on in the background. And is that Calcifer? ^_~

(And that picture of you in the Zel/Ame picture kinda looks like early season 2 Toph. It's the hair and the dress, you'll see what I mean.)


I told you Avatar was like crack and you'd get nothing done. ^_~


Do you know what the color scheme is going to be so I can decide on a journal background for Megan to code.

...too much focus on the butt, yes.

And there's nothing wrong with using sound effects in conversation! I do it all the time. Sound effects are also a lot of fun to make... O:)

Great artwork I'm a Big Avatar fan also

Amelia's face is eerily akin to mine when I slap Terry's bum. It's hilarious.

Oooh pretty drawings! Love the Katara/Aang one. <3

I love how you drew Sokka and Toph in that banner. That so fits there personalities. *giggles at Amelia hitting Zel on the butt*

Also, to answer you question about Karata and Zuko from the above comment, they do get some actual friendly interaction (as in not trying to kill each other) at the end of season 2 and later in season 3, but that's all I'm saying without spoiling you.

On the pairings note, with Avatar I think I'm just at the point where I don't care about pairings anymore because there are too many to chose from. Sure, there are some I still like and some I find cute, but it often gets overshadowed by the awesomeness of the characters themselves and the show. ^_~
But anyway, Avatar really does carry a Slayers feeling to it. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

When you're done watching it, you should watch the Avatar puppets on youtube. XD The insanity of Avatar never ends.

Beautiful banner! I can't wait to see Joanne's. And I was snickering at the Amelia/Zel comic too. I agree completely!

Was tied up with family last night. Will reply back to e-mail today.

*laughs at the slappy banner* I adore Zel's oblivious face XD
In what forum did you write? I surely don't want to go there oO but the slap idea they gave you is wonderful ^_^

OMG! I love the Amelia smacking Zel on the ass one! Cute and funny at the same time!

Some of the sound effects people come up with are hilar! What I like the most are the Unsound Effect. LOL!

*using a Zuko icon because of smushiness*

Hey! Just stopped by to say that your drawings are awesome! XD Somehow you can make them both hilarious AND pretty!

And I just love Katara's hand and feet to death in that sketch. Very delicate and lovely!
