I always start out by convincing myself that the picture with just be a quick sketch, but ends up being a full-blown picture. Curse my perfectionist soul.
I haven’t watched or read any Attack On Titan stuff, but I’m going to give it a try after doing such a complicated and detailed picture. I really hope you guys like the picture, and if I made any mistakes on the machinery, please forgive me.

OKAY IT’S OUT OF MY SYs TEM WE CAN NOW MOVE oN.

sherbeeee:

okay i know i posted this a while ago, but i decided to tweak the colors a little hopefully it should solve my dilemma

also i still have no idea if i should have extra panels with mako bolin and asami sad faces but idk i’m impatient

Like I said in the last post, I wanted to focus on how the deaths of Mako and Bolin’s parents and Asami’s mom not only affect them, but how they may be affecting Korra too. As the Avatar and a bridge to the Spirit World, she might be feeling guilty about how hurt her friends are over their lost ones and how she can’t just whisk them away to the Spirit World to see them again…supposedly

i have no idea where i’m going with this anymore here you go leave me to die

Here is the cover art for the Legend of Korra Book 1 DVD/Blu-Ray that Ryu Ki Hyun drew and I colored. It will be released on July 16th, 2013. Here’s a link to an IGN article with more info.

Have some Korra Krew brotos (bro photos lol) in anticipation of season 2 (pigs will fly and Jesus will come again before we get an airdate ;_;).

In my head this happens right before they leave for the North Pole and they’re goofing around Air Temple Island with a prototype Future Industries camera (let’s just say they had a decent camera, I mean if they had life-altering plastic surgery).

_{The finished version of this sketch I posted a few days ago. I may have referenced some actual photos with friends for this, Also, I opted for sanity and screencapped the backgrounds.}

My opinions about Makorra aside there is absolutely no comparing what Katara and Aang had been through by that point with Korra and Mako’s interactions. Katara had been travelling with Aang for well over half a year and had gone through countless battles with him. Aang was the person to offer Katara an opportunity to pursue Waterbending, and Katara was the person that had already saved Aang countless times. Fuck, Katara watched Aang die, and it was partially Zuko’s fault. Katara also proved that she was willing on some level to kill over other family members (her mother). Mako had known Korra for a matter of months, if that, and together they had not gone through a fraction of what Katara and Aang did. Maybe at a later point in the series and depending on their specific interactions, it would be believable, but at this point where we’re all of nine episodes into the first book, comparing the two seems disingenuous. 

ok, even besides the death threat - by ep. 3 of atla katara was already more concerned for aang than sokka was for him. some relationships are going to be emphasized further within narratives because they are meant to be romantic or heightened in importance, it happens.

Those are still two completely different things. If you said that Katara was more worried about Aang than she was worried about Sokka it would be consistant with the argument, but no. I literally at no point said Mako wasn’t allowed to be worried, I said that his concerned seemed over the top given his previous characterization.

How does the fact that he is more worried about a girl that he’s known for a matter of months than he was about his brother getting captured not strike as being inconsistent with his character, especially since Mako was billed as being this cool-under-fire kind of guy? Clearly the answer is that he was written that way during the episode to emphasize how much he cared for Korra but that doesn’t make it any less jarring. Prior to that he gave only the most ephemeral of hints that he cared for Korra on a deeper level. Shit, two episodes prior he was willing to completely cut Korra out of his life.

that’s the point, mako, someone who is normally cool and collected, flips out when tarrlok tries to arrest asami or when korra becomes kidnapped, it is set up that way precisely to make a statement about how much he cares for them. again, he is used to bolin getting into trouble, and even then he did search for him all night. he did not scream or throw loud, angry tantrums throughout ep. 9, he was making plans almost entirely through. and he was not willing to “cut korra out of his life” out of malice, he was willing to disassociate with someone who was accusing his girlfriend’s father of being part of a terrorist organization, and once he realized she was right, he was the first to suggest they go down to find her. and ep. 6, he had both worried for her and taken a hit for her, this behavior was not new.

Do you really think that his behavior in 1.09 is comparable to his behavior when Bolin was captured or when Asami was arrested? Just because he didn’t spend the entire time screaming and crying does not mean his reaction wasn’t over the top compared to his reaction to Bolin being captured or Asami being arrested. Again, he was almost completely collected during the former and only said one thing in an angry tone to Tarrlok in the latter. In 1.09, he spoke over people, snapped at people, threatened someone’s life, and shoved people aside out of worry and panic over Korra. For Mako, that seems to count as losing his cool.

Mako can be worried about Korra. That’s fine. But when he has shown considerably less interest in Korra than he has in Asami up until this point and when he was completely willing to cut Korra out of his life because of Hiroshi not two episodes before, it’s going to look like his entire reaction was just a plot device to emphasize to the unconvinced viewer how much he actually cares about Korra.

This literally has absolutely nothing to do with how much I like Mako. When 1.09 aired, I defended his actions on the basis that in theory he might have reacted similarly if Asami or Bolin were captured this late in the game, but with the writing of the rest of the series and a few marathon rewatches under my belt, no, I rescind, it was irritating at best and inconsistant with his overall characterization at worst.

i vividly remember a post from you floating around tumblr with the scene of mako finding korra with commentary on how he was being an asshole, and no, considering that there are AUs of asami searching for korra with the same intensity he did, or him searching for asami, and no one is concerned over whether this behavior would be ‘out of nowhere’, i’m not convinced this is an objective or rational deduction.

This is the post that I was referring to, I have absolutely no idea if it’s the same one you’re thinking of. Probably isn’t since it doesn’t mention Mako actually finding Korra, but I don’t know which post you would be referring to specifically and I don’t see it in my Mako tag so I either deleted it or for whatever reason didn’t tag it properly. Either way, I stand by stating that Mako was acting like a jackass, but I’m not specifically referring to Mako finding Korra and since you seem to doubt me saying that I defended Mako on any level, well, there you have it. At the time of the episode I thought his actions were in character. 

Are we really going to compare fanon AUs to the actual canon? I’m not going to waste my time ripping apart AUs unless they contain problematic elements. Talking about fan reinterpretations is a COMPLETELY different conversation than talking about Mako’s actions in canon. Fan reinterpretations can and frequently do have incorrect characterization, but I would expect the series canon to be consistant. So no, it doesn’t have anything to do with my shipping preferences or my feelings about Mako or literally anything else but the fact that after seeing the series again it seems like a jarring and unprecedented characterization shift on his part.

his worry for korra is emphasized because he is supposed to be in love with her, similar to how katara’s worry for aang is emphasized above all (she threatened to kill zuko because of it), he was not collected whatsoever with the asami situation and it’s clear he is used to bolin getting into trouble, therefore has a more sublimated reaction (although he still throws an equalist across a room to get to him)

you don’t have to care for mako, honestly, but no, his worry for korra was completely aligned with what we had already seen of his personality and had been clearly set up, beforehand, ie. expressing worry for her as she goes to fight amon in ep 6

My opinions about Makorra aside there is absolutely no comparing what Katara and Aang had been through by that point with Korra and Mako’s interactions. Katara had been travelling with Aang for well over half a year and had gone through countless battles with him.

ok obv asami did nothing wrong and her worry was justified and ia w this response, but lol mako’s panic is not ‘out of nowhere’, literally one episode before this he flipped out when they tried to arrest asami, no one called that out of nowhere

We can quite literally sit here and rehash the consistency of Mako’s characterization all day and get nowhere but lol there is a massive difference between how Mako reacted to Asami’s arrest and Bolin’s capture and how he reacted during Korra’s. During the former two he was still pretty collected even if he did get mad. The worst he did was angrily tell Tarrlok to let Asami go. He was COMPLETELY collected while searching for his brother, although he was visibly upset about it and was clearly focused on getting him back. Not trying to take away Mako’s emotional state or his drive to help people he cares about. But when you compare that to his distress over Korra’s capture, wherein he was frantic and panicked and snapped several times, well, there is absolutely no comparison and when held up to the other times he reacted to people he cared about being in danger, it was inconsistant with what we knew of his characterization. Like, as the series goes on we might see more things that balance his characterization out and make shit like this make sense in retrospect, but that doesn’t stop this from being a really jarring reaction from Mako.
