Water Tribe- last ones I’m posting. That’s it, I’m done.
Most of what I was planning has been written in notes with a few drawings to support the ideas. Just an image that could be used as a panel to build the page from. Good to try and plan everything. Sometimes, I would go into full panel-pages for fun.
A follow up on the mountain spirit part of the story. Some set up:
Azula and Nauja’s daughter just got swallowed up by the mountain spirit. Her brother is trying to rescue her and fails. Zhao shows up to help. They haven’t had the most friendly of relationship (Zhao being Zhao and all). At this point in the story though, a bond has started to form.
Just wanted to have fun with Zhao and his usual way of dealing with spirits: kicking, punching and yelling!
Thank you all again for your reading and support.
More Zhao!
Thank you everyone for your nice comments! I’m touched that people remember Water Tribe so fondly.
As thank you, I am thinking of posting just a few more things from my rambling of the possible follow up I had in mind. Not everything: as I said, a lot was unformed or badly developed ideas.
Just a bit of set up: this would have been towards the beginning of the story. Zhao’s a fugitive, and runs into the Guru. I was hesitating with this scene originally, thinking it was too much exposition. Then I remembered the first time Aang meets Roku’s spirit and is being told about Sozin’s comet and its deadline.
So I thought I could get away with that. Rough pages. Dialogue a bit murky, but basic idea’s there.
Water Tribe - Zhao nostalgia
I won’t deny it, I had a blast doing that insanely long Zhao AU story a few years ago.

(Warning, long read…would have needed an editor, but what a great learning exercise, trying to tell a long story).
Some of you know I was toying with the idea of continuing it for a while. Problem is…it was shaping up to be another monster, page count wise: too many ideas, ramblings and shoe leather story wise. But there were some moments I would have loved to try and tell. Ideas that would have been a lot of fun to draw.
But moments don’t make a story. So I dropped it.
I just fished out two rough pages out of the bunch I had done for fun. For nostalgia’s sake and what might have been.
KATARA
This piece was inspired by the bewitching and bewildering work of Amei Zhao, aka seventypercentethanol, who consistently blows my mind here on Tumblr.
He’s been punching that fish so hard, his topknot fell off (and yay for one of the rare Zhao cosplays!)
(EDIT: Looks like death is just behind, waiting patiently for the fish- moon spirit to retaliate)
Avatar; The Last Airbender- The Lost Adventure’s first print run has completely sold out. Thank you to all the readers and the fans! This sends a great message to Dark Horse that there is a demand for more Avatar print material.
To celebrate, I’ll dump a few odds and ends Avatar stuff, starting with an inked page of the story “Relics”. The complete, colored story can be found in the “Lost Adventure” graphic novel, but you may have to wait for the second print run to read it now.
