I’ve long wanted to make a fusion of the three legendary beasts (Raikou, Entei, & Suicune) which I refer to as “the fourth beast”. He is heavily inspired by the mythical “Pixiu” from China. The Pixiu is a god of wealth, which goes nicely with Pokemon “Gold” and “Silver”.
As you can see I used elements from each of the three beast:
Raikou: I kept much of Raikou’s face along with his stripes.
Entei: I kept Entei’s cheeks and repurposed with back spikes into the wings of a Pixiu.
Suicune: I repurposed Suicune’s horns to resemble that of an Chinese dragon. Suicune’s spots combine with Raikou’s stripes to form rosettes. And lastly, Suicune’s ribbon tail gets turned into long Chinese dragon whiskers. (Which isn’t shown here)
(Ironically, every time I look at the drawing on the far right, I think of a water dragon.)
“The fourth beast” represents the steam from the Burned tower as the fire went out. Thus his typing is Fire/Water. On his back is a cumulus cloud for fair weather, but it can easily grow into a cumulonimbus.
Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.
AIR BENDING PAMPHLET
Now we have one for each element.
My pamphlet for earth bending. Air still to come.
Feel free to ask questions.
This is the finalized version(s) of my bending chart. I overhauled the whole thing and updated some of the symbols. I’m pretty satisfied with it, though I may change the symbol for “Ice” in the future.
My old design:
Which one is your favorite design?
I've been playing a lot of "Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" and this is my idea of what a "Bionicle Version" would look like. You'd go to the different temples to gather each element, and the Nuva Gauntlet would change color depending on what element you're using.
Water Bending Pamphlet: (Portuguese)
For @sol-em-gemeos
We know that water bending gets stronger at night; Katara says as much at the end of ALTA Book 1. However, the Moon is only in the night sky 50% of the time with the other 50% in the daytime. Since Katara probably has better sleeping habits than me, I’d assume she goes to bed before midnight. Therefore, she would only see the Moon at night about 25% of the time.
It’s a common misconception to think that the Moon only appears at night. In fact, it is more likely for people to see the Moon during the day because people are awake more in the day.
Then why is water bending stronger at night, if the Moon is only there 25% of the time?
The answer is interference from the Sun. We know that water bending and fire bending can interfere with each other in the case of a solar eclipse. The Moon moves in front of the Sun and blocks the “Fire Bending WIFI Signal”. water bending is interfering with fire bending, so it would make sense if it works both ways. Fire and Water are usually considered opposites, so it makes sense that water bending would be weaker during the day and at full strength during the night.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Each Avatar must learn to master the four elements. It’s traditional to learn the elements in the same order as the avatar cycle, but this isn’t mandatory. There are several examples where an Avatar learned the elements “out of order”. One idea I’d love to see is an Avatar learning in reverse order. (Such as Korra learning: Water, then Air, then Fire, and finally Earth) I like this idea because it might help the Avatar connect better to their past lives. By learning in reverse order, the Avatar could learn about their predecessors along with learning the elements. e.g.
Korra would learn about Aang while learning Airbending.
Roku as she learned Firebending.
And Kyoshi as she learned Earthbending.
(She would still learn waterbending first since it’s her native element, and I see no reason for her to learn about “Kuruk the idiot”.) The past Avatars might even be able to help the current Avatar learn the bending.
There’s a lot of speculation on who would win in a battle between Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra. Of course, neither is alive at the same time so this battle would be purely hypothetical. However, there’s one argument I’ve never seen mentioned. Korra is an airbending drop-out.
Korra first came to Republic City to learn airbending. She learned most of the forms but couldn’t produce a single puff of air until the season 1 finale.
In season 2, Korra could now airbend but she hadn’t mastered it. As Tenzin put it, “...you’re still a long way away from mastering airbending.” “You’ve mastered Korra-style airbending. Now you need to master real airbending.”
Unfortunately, Korra stopped listening to Tenzin as soon as she unlocked airbending. Worse still, Korra dismissed him as her teacher soon after, and that was the end of her airbending training.
Because of her choices, Korra never mastered airbending. Instead, she relied on her bending strength and the avatar state to make up for her lack of skill.
To Korra airbending was just firebending without the burn.
This became an obvious weakness because airbending relies heavily on skill, dexterity, and agility; skills Korra is in desperate need of. Therefore, Korra has always struggled fighting against agile opponents like Zaheer or the Equalist.
Which brings me back to Aang vs Korra. When it comes to airbending, Aang would demolish Korra. Aang was a airbending prodigy, Korra is a drop-out. Even Tenzin could beat Korra in airbending.
I’m so happy to see all these Avatar related animations. This one is of Aang Earth Bending by Renan Nunes.
