I'm not sure how many of you will understand what exactly I'm trying to do here. It's supposed to be a parody of Mucha's seasons [link] paintings. But everytime I mentioned this project to someone, they didn't seem to know what I was talking about.
(Nicole will know, though! :D)

to clarify, I've depicted the elements as such--
Water--Katara. Abover her are water lillies. The word "Water" is surrounded by circling koi.
Earth--Suki (because I didn't think Toph would fit well in this type of drawing...if the fact I used Suki bothers you too much, imagine it's Kyoshi. there ya go.). Above her are White Jade flowers. The word "Earth" is surrounded by a large Badgermole.
Fire--Azula. Above her are fire lillies. (as seen in "The Puppetmaster"). The word "Fire" is surrounded by a pheonix.
Air--Avatar YangChen (seriously guys. It's not a female Aang). Above her are Panda lillies. The word "Air" is surrounded by a sky bison.
(Yangchen looks like she's playing Air guitar xD)

I figured that since it was a set, I should post them together. Agree?

Done in markers. The background color was done on the computer, however, to avoid paper warpage from watercolor. Probably be selling at least the originals at the con, if not a few prints too (depends on the reception on here)

Avataaaarrrr. :heart::noes:

"Gay"? "Bisexual"? Don't you just mean "awesome"?
:iconsolemnsally:

I'm just proud of myself for remembering
:iconsolemnsally:
oh! I'm going to venture that you took French in school?

Neat. And I see it more as a dedication towards Mucha, less as a parody.
Feel free to ignore weird me. :D

I took it last semester yes... and this upcoming semester as well. I'm trying to become fluent with it eventually... but that will have to wait until my europe trip next fall where I hope to spend a couple of months in france
:iconsolemnsally:
you're right :) Parody seems to imply I'm mocking him, while I certainly am not!
The word just fit better, I think, since I'm using Avatar characters for it

very cool! I know how you feel though, being excited when you recognise words. I'm the same exact way with German!
