Avatar Origins

This artwork was quite the process.  The recent episodes of "The Legend of Korra" really inspired me to make it.  I thought it would be cool to do an artwork of Wan's Statue at the Air Temple, but have it be the actual scene it was carved to represent.  I really like how Raava, the great spirit of light, was wrapping her arms and tail around him.  I also like how all the Lion Turtles have different symbols on their heads and I wanted to do an artwork that included all of them. I finally decided to combine the artwork ideas into one, and it fit so well. In the process of doing this artwork I noticed it was not just the symbols, but the Lion Turtles have different eye colors and skin colors.  Each one is more unique than one might think.  Of course I marked the different turtles with the elements' symbols (written in Ancient Chinese Bone Script).  And on the bottom it says "Avatar", just as it is written in "Avatar: The Last Airbender".
