REBA SEASON ONE EPISODE ONE: 

Into the Blue

I had these circle brushes once, that were lost in the void. No idea were or when they disappeared… Edit: Since several users have noted to me that it was a problem that the wonderful variation in skintones of the avatar series does not come through in this image, I edited it to make Katara’s skin tone closer to what it is in the show. I want to add, that I originally made this image eleven years ago. And since then the topic of ethnic diversity is something I try to be more and more conscious about in my art. So my thanks to the people being vocal when they have concerns. (also the edit was not really that much of an effort… really ^^°)

I recently did this new cover for the second edition of Dark Horse’s Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Art of the Animated Series hardcover book, which will be released on November 24, 2020. This is a redo of a DVD cover I did ages ago. I always liked the drawing but was never happy with how cramped the composition was and how poorly I colored it. It was fun to take a crack at it again. The second edition will have a few new things in it. Hope you enjoy!

Some of my favorite shows from Cartoon Network.

Kya, canonically a lesbian, tells Korra and Asami about same-sex relationships and coming out in the four nations. We also find out that Kyoshi was bi!

Remember a Good Man, remember the King!

Words in all the languages are not enough to express this gnawing grief, this sense of irreparable loss, this powerlessness, this guilt… We don’t deserve you. You were too pure, too innocent, too kind. Your love was too sincere. Your heart was too vast, too hot, too sensitive. People have long forgotten what it is. The poison of greed, pride, envy, cruelty, selfishness, and indifference has poisoned the minds that you tried to heal until your last breath… God gave us the Light — brighter than any star on the firmament  — but we chose to wander in the dark, and He took him back… 

We miss you so much, dear Michael. Our king. The King of Music. The King of Dance. The King of Peace on Earth. The Light of the World. I love you… And I’m so grateful that you came into my life. I am grateful that you are with me through your music. Your magic has entered my heart, and it’s forever. 

I mourn you because you are my family. It doesn’t matter that we’ve never met. You are so far away from me, you were born on the other side of the world in another time. But it doesn’t matter. You’re so close… And there’s no way to explain it. All your fans can feel it. It connects us. We are all one because you did it. 

Your legacy will live on, and we’ll not let it fade. We will protect you, our children will protect you, their children will protect you. And we will love you. Endlessly. Thank to God for you, thank Him for bringing you into our world. Thank YOU for lit it up for us… 

Today I want to dedicate a set of my edits to you. Working in photoshop is all I can do! And I have prepared this for you with all my love… I love you more! And don’t argue with me, Michael! I. Love. You. More.
