Typical to any mythos, we have our young hero, just trying to mind his own business--but fate has other plans.
This came out better than i thought it would. I was worried that i would mess up the outfit, but it came out pretty good, huh? I'd like to think so.
next up: Toph
EDIT: for anyone who saw this when i first uploaded--i apologize for uploading the wrong file. Jeza caught it too, so good lookin' out, luv

Awesome... but in my opinion... HE LOOKS LIKE A GIRL!
Reminds me of the Ember Island Players... where I girl plays Aang's role.

You did a great job on the coloring and the pose is cool, but some things seem off, or maybe I'm just not seeing them correctly as I'm unfamiliar with the character. His lower foot looks cut off where the 'air scooter' begins (it may look that way to me because of that line of wind slicing between the foot) and his hand holding the staff looks too small as well. Actually, both hands look rather small, but the one close to his face is less so. The yellowish tone of his outfit appears rather close to his skin tone, or maybe that's just how it looks on my monitor. Still, overall this looks like a fun and whimsical piece.

well---a lot of what you're saying is a matter of character design. Let's see: you pointed out the wind slicing effect, meaning the very thing you're critiquing, makes sense to you, so, i don't see what you mean
A hand, drawn proportionately (and not over stylized) will usually be able to fit the character's face in its open hand. If you were to imagine Aang holding his face in that hand, it would for the most part cover it. His eyes are obviously more stylized and large, but it would be mostly covered. That means its correct.
The other one is merely a matter of slight foreshortening. Even the pole foreshortens as it runs up and down, appearing slimmer at the bottom. You have to soak in the whole image, like in the way his pose is, and how the bending of his torso adds a soft foreshortened effect. If he was topless, the foreshortening would be even sharper.
The yellow skin is touch i added, but isn't the same color, though the do look similar. It might be your monitor because it doesn't seem alike to the point of being disorienting.
hope that clears things up.

Yeah, I have a pretty crap monitor at work, it's kind of dark and muted, that's where I was looking at this at, but I mentioned it anyway because there was always the chance your monitor is just as dark. 
The hand thing, now that I look at it the way you describe it, it does seem logical. I guess I need to spend a bit more time analyzing a pic in its entirety before I open my big mouth.

I absolutely love the pose and his whole body language here. Very nice work.

I didn't see the one you had up before this, but dude, he looks awesome! I really like the "air scooter" effect you gave too. That blur effect on the bottom leg is a real nice touch.
so you used acrylics?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yea, i did that air slice effect at the very end---thanks for noticing it!
I used a mass of mixed media for these, usually working with whatever i felt........worked!
I'll speak more on it real soon

His head looks a little funny, a bit oversized for the rest of him.

i uploaded the right one a few minutes ago.
This is the correct one--as when i scanned it the first time, the head did seem too big to me too. I took some time that day to reapply some new acrylics to it.
