Some movie black and white...

Aren't they cute? I just finished this little banner in photoshop. It's a "practice run" to get my photoshop skillz back (and they did come back. I am now at the same level of sucking at Photoshop as I was before. *sigh* Link, you gotta teach me some 'toshop moves, please). This drawing is based on season 2 of Avatar. The costumes are.... approximative. I could have gotten some reference shots, but I didn't really feel like it. The fact that Zuko is being walked on doesn't really express any type of specific hatred I have for the character, though I do kinda find him annoying until he decides to turn good (He reminds me of Gargamel...). He's mostly getting walked on because...Well, that's pretty much how I see him getting treated in season two, poor guy. I wanted to do shadows and stuff at first, but since I kinda wanted this to be a banner of such (and therefore small) I flattened out the colors. Mai is my favorite in this banner. The character's styles are inspired by a Quebecois-French comic book called "Les Nombrils" (the bellybuttons). I'm still waiting for book 4 of that series. When? WHEN?

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging messages about ass-to-artists guy. Turns out, he didn't want to pay at all and was shocked I asked. So I terminated my engagement with him permanently. I mean, really? Jerkface. But now I have ideas on how to formulate my contracts better, thanks to you guys.

I've got a few drawing projects I want to get done over the next few weeks. Lo and behold:
-Pages for Slayers Gears (aka Slayers steampunk version)
- Fairy Tale steampunk princesses (because I can biotches)
- Commission for Eveska
- Mini-contrat for person I like (one drawing. Can't kill me.)
- Banner for myself, Flowergirl and earthstar_chan
- Mini-story of BULB GIRL!
- Pages of Rose.
- Pages of Rose.
- Did I mention, pages of Rose?
- a few comics I have ideas for, and of course a few memes I got tagged for (seriously guys, I feel obligated to draw these XD)

-I also plan to sell this painting to a friend: (sexy mermaids mwahahaha)



-And send the Gigaslave Painting to it's buyer. Sorry for the delay Mike, but apparently the post office close to my job doesn't ship international (....I was like....what?)

Am I busy girl or what?
I'm off to Montréal this weekend though. I got a plush bird and I boyfriend I need to torture with it.

Over and Out!

Edit - I really screwed myself over with this Avatar banner. Not that I drew one for season 2, I wanna draw one for season 1 where Yue would be chased by the Gaang, followed by Zuko, Iroh, Zaoh and a big seas spirit of doom. And then i'd have to draw season 3. Gaang in firenation costumes + Suki + Zuko Fleeing a comet Firelord Ozai is riding.

Haha! That's weird. Don't worry. Just let me know by e-mail when you do send it, so I'm not panicking and thinking it's got lost in the post!

Sorry for not commenting about the asshat guy, but everyone else seemed to make really good comments and offer great advice. I would just be agreeing. He really was unbelievable though. Can't believe he was expecting not to pay. I'm surprised you were so well contained especially when you think of how inconsiderate he was.

Cute banner and good luck with all the projects. You have a lot on your plate but I know you'll get through it.

I like being busy anyways, you know? :) I just wish I had less work time and more draw time.
