Nope, just quick doodle mark made while doing quick shading. Does look like a scar though.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Aang's left hand doesn't have an arrow.
Must... keep... READING!

OMG!! 0.0 Aang!! What's that AWEFUL scar on your head?! It's freaking HUGE!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha ha, it's not a scar, just a pencil stroke that went crazy- for a bad shading effect. No worries, Aang's head is all scarfree.

0.0 Oh, lol I'm glad I asked because I never would have guessed that! (jumps to conclusions a lot = me) ^.^;

Yup, Sokka is definitely showing what everyone reading this is feeling! The guy's all heart.

Aww, thanks. Poor Sokka- too big a heart.

can you do an entire bending page, panel for panel, and keep it all in a good flow? I havent seen rthat yet, granted I am not doen with the story yet. If you havent, it might be an interesting thing to try, see how well you can do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would definitely be a very good exercise. The fight scenes in this little comic are fairly short.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true, but its still well done. the third panel is magnificent. espically the "RHAA!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Actiony-ness! (more of it) Yay! And Sokka...

What's with the scar on the back of Aangs head?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, not a scar, just a bad pen stroke on my part. Mea Culpa!

Ohhh, okay... where's Toph so far?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They haven't met up with her yet- this is the equivalent of the first episode. They will have to find an earthbending teacher for Aang at some point though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can;t wait for her to show up

would you mind if I made panel 3 into a poster? I promise to credit you with the original idea o.o it just jumped out at me and screamed COLOR ME!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Certainly! Too bad it is so small and rough looking..*sigh* Hope I get to clean those up one day.

I do like the extreme close-up and followed by an extreme pulling back [of the camera?] for lack of a better way to put it.
Zuko's battle cry sounds cool and makes his attack even more expressive so I'm all for keeping it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Another vote for keeping the battle cry in! Looks like I will
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
See, thats what I mean about guys not having a clue, we tend to see what's in front of us before shifting gears and listening to what's going on around us.
The Rhaa! is sort of like the expression of the "chi" in martial arts. Zuko probably doesn't "need" to do it, but it focus's his flame throwing. I'd say it would look good keeping it, but it's a judgement call.
On the last line of dialog maybe "Give up and your friends [might] walk off this ship alive. More threatening and in line with fire nation mentality.
Again, just an alternative concept.
Flawless artistic work as usual [for a thumbnail]!

I think I will keep the Rhaa. It will also balance the panel a bit better, I have some empty space beside Zuko that can be used for it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yesh, [now you've got me doing it!] It seems a little empty without. Not necessary, but does balance it better.

Hmm...for this particular page, it looks as though Aang has a scar in his head...or it resembles a baseball.
^_^
Nevertheless, nicely done.

I'll go with a baseball (but really, just crosshatching gone wild)

Great page as always, but I was a bit confused with the second-to-last panel; took me a bit to realize what was goin' on. ('Course, this IS in black 'n white)
Also, the transition between the second-to-last and last panel seems a bit of a jump: one minute, Zuko is bein' blasted back (or attackin' with his legs), and the next, he's not. Tryin' to imagine how these two images connect is a bit tough; perhaps if you added a panel inbetween those two to make it flow better? Although maybe it's just me...?
>_< Aiyah, sorry if I sounded rude!
(Also, Aang's head in the second-to-last panel looks like it has stitches on it X3;;; )

Ah, this is a time jump- a change of location. Start with a bang, then reset the location for the reader to know where they are. It is definitely more sudden and abrupt, and my cause confusion.
I'm not certain about adding a panel. I will still go from close to far, as I need to reestalish the location of where the characters are (this instance, the ship roof). I'll hink upon your word, and see if there is a solution.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I didn't know it was a time-jump! X3; My mistake!
Definitely goin' from super close to far away is a great camera choice, and really adds dynamic and movement. However, I just think the jump was a little strange; can't really think of another method, so I'm just talkin' with no value, y'know? ~_~;;

I liked that you had that comment- it makes me go over the page and try to think of another way to tell it perhaps more clearly. It's all part of the exercise- always trying to think of better was to make it better. And since I don't see or notice everything, you guys' input is good.

Does Aang have a scar on the back of his head???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Naaah, just the remnants of cross hatching for shading, before I went graytones on him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, okay. lol. I was sitting here thinking about what could've happened to him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
No such thing...unless it gets stuck in your head...which happened when I read this...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Fishbones!! heehee. Begs for yet another icon...yeah, I'm sad. Poor, poor Sokka....LOL
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would make for a great icon- Sokka being overdramatic, screaming "FISHBONES!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hey hey, Sokka, those fish bones could come in handy. I read this African folktale where this kid shouted "JIRIMPIMBIRA!" and threw bones on the ground and got wishes. *righteous moon bones*
I vote for the yell. Zuko is rather vocal *yaoi fangirl slowly emerges*. 
~*KA*~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sokka doesn't believe much in magicky things...but he,d be willing to try
haha, I imagined Zuko becoming more quiet with the years...but watch out when he gets...er...unnerved (I was going to say "excited", but seeing where your message was going...
