[Art] Avatar:TLA - Blind Bandit (Toph) (G)

Title: Blind Bandit
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Characters/Pairings: TOPH HELL YEAH
Rating: G, baby
Crit/Feedback: Always! =D
Notes: Trufax: Toph is made of insane amounts of awesome. I haven't drawn anything in months since I've been too busy, then this week I finally sat down, rewatched all of S1 and S2 and what there was of S3 and re-realized several facts. Among these was the fact that Toph is made of 200-proof awesome. Speaking of which, she tosses back drinks like a sailor.

Anyway, this is just some line art I worked off and on at for about a day. There are some anatomical mistakes and the perspective is probably all wrong but I am SO proud of myself for how it turned out. Which is weird! But after not drawing for so long, I feel really good about this. I'm especially proud of the feet and how non-retarded the clothes and long flowy lines look -- MY ARCH NEMESES: AT BAY!

I plan to colour this soon. Toph has a simple colour scheme and should make for good, easy colouring practice =)

A/N: You know, I really tried to come up with an interesting title, but had no ideas whatsoever. I even browsed all the Toph art on deviantart looking for inspiration -- AND ALL OF THEM ARE CALLED "Toph". Apparently I am not the only one with that problem. It was either making a pun about "rocking" or using "Blind Bandit" >.>

Holy shit, you're alive!

(I don't know a damn thing about drawing, but I like the feet.)

Nice! I really like the perspective on this, it's reminiscent of Oda. You know, how he does crazy ass perspective, all HEY HERE'S A GIANT FOOT! 8D!!

I've missed your art~ *hugs*

I have missed being around here! It's awesome to see you =D

Yeah, I've just been really busy. I hadn't written or drawn a thing in months and had no time to be online. Hopefully I'll be around a little more often now =)

And yes! I had fun with perspective. Although to be fair, sometimes Oda is screwing with perspective and SOMETIMES THERE ARE JUST GIANT FEET. Trufax.

Holy crap, I totally didn't reply!

Sorry, I've been way busy lately D=

Anyway, thank you so much! I work really hard to make my line art cleaner (my natural style is really messy and sketchy) and one of my big goals in fan art is to make the character's personality come through, so your comment is, uh! IT MAKES ME HAPPY ♥ ♥ ♥
