At long last, I reveal to you my Secret Project: "Avatar gone CARTOONY!"
Here, Ive drawn each the Avatar kids (and Iroh ) who have appeared in more than one episode of the series in a different cartoon style( I would have liked to do all the other characters, but cmon Im only human!). See if you can guess who is done in what style before scrolling down to read whos what!
. . . . . . . Made your guesses? Okay!
Aang: 1950s retro. This style has been really popular in cartoons lately, such as in Samurai Jack, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Dexters Lab, and so on. If theres one style that captures his carefree attitude best, I think its this one.
Katara: Shoujo anime. Ahem this may or may not be influenced by Isaias Revolutionary Girl Katara. >///> .damn, but shes skinny drawn like that!
Sokka: Simpsons/Futurama style. Probably his favorite shows!
Toph: Powerpuff Girls. Coz Toph and Buttercup would be bestest fwiends forever!
Momo: Sanrio. As if Momo wasnt disgustingly cute enough, huh?
Appa: Sesame Street. BiG Bird gets blamed for his shit all the time.
Yue: Danny Phantom. Coz shes a SPIRIT? Hahaha! aw, cmon guys, laugh! Its funny!
Suki: Kim Possible. Yeah, I could see her pulling Kims job. Notice how Yue and Suki look alike? Its not just my crappy drawing! Both styles were created by the genius known as Stephen Silver. WORSHIP HIM.
Iroh: Old Skool. Yeah, like Felix the Cat and Steamboat Willy old skool. I can see him just busting a gut during these cartoons, and Zuko being like Whats so great about that?
Zuko: Dragon Ball Z. His power level is over NINE-THOUSAAAAAAAND!!!11
Azula: Jhonen Vasquez style. Coz, Ill be damned if Azula doesn't fit right in the homicidal maniac/insane conqueror department.
Mai: Emily the Strange. Dont lie. You know Mai stalks Hot Topic.
Ty Lee: Rainbow Brite?! WHY DOES THAT WORK SO WELL?! *sob!*
Jet: Crime Noir. Not that it looks close to anything Frank Miller would do, but I think doing him in this kind of gritty black and white style works well for him.
Sorry I milked this for so long, guys! You were probably expecting a lot more, huh? Well, I hope you enjoy it anyway. I worked hard on it (albeit on and off, but still ).
EDIT 4/4/07: Finally gave Zuko his scar (HOW did I forget THAT one?), fixed Toph's shirt, and tweak a few tiny things on Appa. So it's all gravy now.
suki as kim possible is great. her, iroh, and toph are probably the highlights for me. the style you used for jet is crazy cool but i'm not very fond of his character sooo...
Azula: Jhonen Vasquez style. Coz, I’ll be damned if Azula doesn't fit right in the homicidal maniac/insane conqueror department. Or Invader zim style! lol! oh wait, am I going to die?
Wow this is so cool! All of them are so well recast but I have to say that noir Sin City-ish suits Jet so well. I'm now re-envisioning his episodes with a gritty inner monologue
the style you used for jet is crazy cool but i'm not very fond of his character sooo...
