Thank you guys for all the support & feedback, I'm very glad so many folks like this!! 💕
The idea started off in the Sideshow discord as "what would X be as an elemental bender?". Here's some older concept sketches including scrapped TLOK-era drafts & #StarttoFinish WIPs:
Long ago, the Four Nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when this dribbling idiot became the Avatar.
ATLA-inspired crossover ft @tier7official & friends as a group of odd job mercs, whose leader wants to farm that shiny bald @SideshowGaming Avatar clout ✨
"Message in a bottle."
2020 will be the 1st year without a TF2 LAN. That's fine IMO, the world needs to heal first. I know it's hard on a lot of TF2 peeps who wanted to meet up.
I made these 2 sketches a while back for an anon letter TFTV thread. Keep in touch with each other!
Go on then - speak up. I'm listening.
What you say will show if you listen to me too.
@MiaKitsune Oh thank you! You're good, I know what you mean. Her name is Ran, she's an old OC and I think I actually used Corel Draw to colour her, been meaning to do some redraws or explore her again

As you can see my love for overusing rimlights / filters / shiny rendering never really died out though ✨😬✨
Here's some #StarttoFinish of the whole process. I used Clip Studio Paint's colorize with some scribbles before blending them both together, and then adding the rest of the lights, shading, & additional polish & touches at the end.
Read up on advice for artists that mention it's important to make time for personal art, which helps motivation as well as burnout from commissions/art blocks.
I tried it and challenged myself with new techniques, with @TipoftheHats mascots Phil & Sally motivating me too. 🧡🧡
Me: Okay, look. Now is the time we need to get those creative juices flowing, so to start it off, we should make some INCREDIBLE, AWE-INSPIRING CONTENT with the tools we have until we learn how to use Blender better.
Also me: french snorlax
So @captjamestkink had an idea prone to disturbing the natural balance based on OWL shenanigans involving Catbren + Minkshow
So basically I have a born gravitational pull towards ideas prone to disturbing the natural balance I followed up on it and drew more Catbren & Minkshow
