Avatar: HAPPY NEW YEAR

IT'S 2012! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I submitted this at EXACTLY midnight of the New Year where I am (waiting was torture )

I bet you didn't expect a picture from me today . But, after spending a month intensely working on a project, I actually felt a little weird not working on something... so I started this

My loose theory on the setting is that it's Zuko's penthouse in the new Republic City after it's construction. They could all be like in their early twenties... but, I doubt the city would actually grow that fast . I just wanted to put them in a skyscraper with fireworks going off behind them

Following that theory, I put Zuko and Aang in more official outfits...as they'd probably be in meetings all the time, deciding canal placements, how to quash Old Fire Nation rebellions, furthering the cause of peace, etc.

I put a lot of thought in the other outfit designs as well, especially Toph's. I think she'd be the one to change the most after the end of the series, come out of her shell, let her hair down etc. I used *DarkKenjie's "Older Gaang" series as a bit of a launching point for her design. If you haven't seen them, here are the Toph ones:


They are pretty awesome
