Almost done with this piece, which I’m really happy with btw :D
My digital art skills are getting better lately, I’ve leveled up! 😎
Do NOT trace, copy, or otherwise steal credit for this work, etc.
Stop reading my mind. I want romance so bad but the grayaceness is making it so difficult. It’s like a darts game, but you’re blind, you don’t know where the target is and you’re throwing pins instead of darts.
Being graysexual is cool and all until you find an exception to your general-asexual-ness™ and you do not know what to do with yourself so you just ✨️panic✨️
Spitting facts
“I don’t regret us but I wouldn’t do it again.”

If there has ever been anything true, is that I’ve always been one to get lost in words, when I can see them before they’re shaped.
I see it all so clearly. It’s like looking at a screen or a mirror. I dive into the projection and feel the breath of the world.
Mystical town. Urban sketches. #1, set of 10.
I did 10 sketches as part of the sketchbook I had to turn in as art college homework. I really enjoyed doing these urban sketches. At first I was really bummed with the idea, as drawing inanimate things, like buildings and such is not something I particularly enjoy. So I found a way to make it fun; stylize it in a way I’d like it and add something fun to it, something magical and mysterious that wasn’t there in real life. This way, I ended up seriously enjoying these urban sketches.
Because I procrastinated for so long, I had to do in like 5 days, 20 drawings for the sketchbook. I still tried to ignore the pressure and stress I felt and enjoy it, and I succeeded. It was honestly my favorite part of the semester, getting to finally stretch my creative muscles. By ignoring the pressure, and actually having fun with exploring new styles and ways to make my art look different, I managed to breeze through the sketchbook in time.
I’m really proud of those 20 I made, even these set of urban sketches that I really didn’t want to do at the beginning and wasn’t looking forward to. But I’m happy with what I created. Really happy.
Thinking they’d look great as short animations and prints. I’m totally doing that.
Same and more. Overall writing was so dull. It lacked the complexity and depth of the original.
My views on the atla live action (6.8 out of 10)
What I liked about atla live action:
Zuko, aang, iroh, monk Gyasto and jets actors really knocked the ball out the park so far
I liked how they showed that there were people in the fire nation who fought back regarding resisting the war, and how azula went undercover to expose them. That scene showed not all fire benders were bad or agreed to the war due to the loss of lives
I liked how they portrayed monk gyasto and his bond with aang.
The scene with the earth kingdom soldier, iroh and the scene with Lieu ten was amazingly done. It really captured how loss happened on both sides, while showcasing more of who lieu ten was as a person and also Zuko’s kind nature towards Iroh
Iroh joining Zuko on the boat after his banishment was a beautiful scene
Issues
Aang meeting kyoshi too early and learning about the attack on the northern water tribe which he shouldn’t know
Suki and sokkas romance didn’t develop over sokka learning from his sexism. It takes away from their development
Azula didn’t bend or fight enough. Also Ozai hated Zuko and adored azula but here it seems azula is fighting for his approval? It takes away from her character. She had it ALL and Zuko didn’t. Also ozai did not care if zuko discovered aang he just wanted him to suffer. He hated his son but in this version they make it seem like he cares?
Aang isn’t training enough at all. We only see katara training on her waterbending but she trained with aang too. In the series it focuses more on aang going to the northern water tribe rather than learning the elements and helping others along the way.
Kataang needed more moments. So far they only had a few but I liked the one they shared in the final episode
Sokka seems to not like aang? It seems like he’s only there for his own benefit when in the original he warms up to aang.
Ozai learning of aangs existence too early on makes it less easy for aang to travel on his journey.
Aang and sokka didn’t meet Jet
The meaning of the cave of two lovers didn’t make sense. Also it didn’t help aang as he was not there to learn more about the badger moles and earth bending. Plus he kissed katara there, so that love development is gone.
Wan shi tong shouldn’t be there in book 1 and sokka and katara shouldn’t be in the spirit world
Where is Appa and momo? They barely are shown. If they were pets with zero presence I wouldn’t mind but in this series they are apart if the show but the live action doesn’t showcase them enough.
No Jeong Jeong ? he was a huge character regarding the use of fire plus aang had trauma fire bending. Will he still show up in the future if this is renewed?
Azula shouldn’t lose her cool she seems like she’s already cracking and that’s not her character. She is perfect and that breaks her in book 3. Not book 1. Also her fire is not blue.
Aang is a bit too focused on being the avatar i wish it wasn’t so strong at times
Why is the fog of lost souls showing up in atla?
Rokus erased as aangs guide isn’t the best change since he’s tied to the reason why the war happened. Also he links to zukos bloodline and struggle of good and evil.
Mystical town. Urban sketches. #7, set of 10.
Out the window.
So based on the internet this is the consensus on the atla live action series:
Mystical town. Urban sketches. #5, set of 10.
Beyond the garden wall.
Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔
I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️🩹

People out there are suffering every day. The minimum we can do is support them however we can from afar.
Don’t forget Palestine, don’t forget Gaza.
