ye gads, since I have no photoshop or tablet,
coloring this traditionally by hand using diluted white acrylic is like...
trying to make gourmet spam out of a raw,frozen piece of pork.
(and no, I don't know how that analogy makes any sense)
One single slip of the hand, and it would have ended up dead.
But anyway, I'm happy with it. *coughDespitethe BS'edMaleanatomycough*
Like I said, Pakku, Bumi, Gyattso, Roku, Jeong-jeong, and Iroh are (c) to Mike and Bryan. This is fanart So don't nobody sue me please :3. They probably didn't even look anything like this, I simply took 'artistic liberties'
I think we'll all find out someday what they REALLY looked like...the day I can put my head between my legs and shout "CANONBAAALLL!!"
and oyeah, it took twice as many pounds of awesome Native Radio Chanting + J-pop music + Male Vocal orchestra instrumentals + Miyazaki music to ignite the supernova starburst of energy/inspiration out of me to color this as it did to sketch it owO;;;
This is amazing. When I first saw this picture I was blown away. You were really able to take their facial features and age them down. It's not just a drawing of a couple of benders and in the description it lists tir names. You can actually tell its the younger versions of Pakku, Bumi, Gyatso, Roku, Jeong Jeong, and Iroh. This is practically canon!
i love how you put jeong-heong in a fire nation uniform since he was in the army!!! and he and paku do look so much like themselves!!! bump, gyattso, and roku didn't surprise me much since we've already seen them young ...but amazing traditional art non the less! id kill myself doing that fire by hand! X_X
Haha young roku looks like ssj4 Vegeta XD
