Happy Mother's Day!

Yes, on the day where every Avatard and their mom is making Ursa pics, I continue with the devotion to my favorite Avatar lady by drawing Mai's mother. And Tom-Tom. Who has evidently been left unattended with a brush and ink--Mai's getting an earful right now, or else is about to.

"Is it too much to ask for you to keep an eye on him for five minutes?"

The title is actually derived from the Avril Lavigne song of the same name--this is the latest in the series. You're not just going to see the popular ladies in this saga, there are going to be more minor ones in here. I had intended to do those ones later, but hey, it's Mother's Day, this is my tribute to mothers. I originally planned the pic around "Is it too much to ask" for a smile from Mai, and I wanted Mai in the pic originally--but then I felt that that would distract from the focus, and decided to leave it open-ended. But Tom-Tom worked his way in, followed by the brush, and thus....well, this line is actually the universal line of mothers everywhere! Full-view!

This one is mainly from reference. The lineart is almost exactly the same as the first sequence with Mai's mom, complete with Tom-Tom. The brush and banner are pretty much the only things I didn't use reference for--yes, even the marks were reffed, using one of the many, many murals adorning our house's walls and corners. It's based on REAL designs by destructive babies with markers who were left unattended for more than sixty seconds while a marker was in reach. His face markings are mainly from memory--they don't limit themselves to walls, kids. Hehe.

Mai's art is giving me a bit more trouble. She's hard to draw, I thought I had her, but I lost it, and now she's being a more artistic menace than Tom-Tom. But I'm dealing with it....I'm just trying to settle on the final design for the "Slipped Away" pic with Mai. It's more than a simple matter of settling on a pose, this is a big pic for me...but this is the pic in question, not that one.

I drew it at 1:30 in the morning, finished around three....inked it this afternoon, and then scanned and colored it in Paint throughout the same afternoon. I hate lips. But I love my Sharpie.

Mai's mom and Tom-Tom are copyright Viacom, along with Mai. Avatar: The Last Airbender, Mike, Bryan, and all that stuff.
The pic is mine, but it was HEAVILY referenced. The colors came from screencaps.
