Hello everyone! I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving this year; despite the need for social distancing. Now we can see how Christmas shall pan out. I've been working on individually drawing Christmas cards for various friends and family since early November. I've done 15 going on 16 hand-drawn cards and seven digital cards mostly consisting of word bubbles on a picture since drawing this often is quite taxing. I won't be showing all the cards, just the select few that I find worthy of showing. I also won't be showing the chosen cards until they are received; no spoilers.
Luckily, I have a friend who decided to gift us with Truffles as an early Christmas present, so I sent him his card early. It's pretty much the only digital card I've put in any real effort. During my binge-viewing of the Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix, I found out he and I both enjoy the show and I wanted to represent that in his card. He found it adorable and I was so happy. I hope you like it too. Tell me what you think in the comments. As for other upcoming projects, I have no plans and I'm tired, so I'll let you know if something comes up.
I did everything on the paint.net program. I made sure to use the correct colors for each character. Aang(top), Katara(left), Sokka(right), Zuko(bottom left), and Toph(bottom right) in that order. You can see the evolution of effort as I progressed. I made them ornaments because Christmas and they're all laughing because it's supposed to be a year of merriment. The elemental symbols were NOT drawn by me. I looked them up on google, colored them white, and placed them. The boomerang symbol I did do on my own; as you can see from the difference in quality. I would have cleaned it up a bit, but the boomerang represents Sokkas character and the show establishes his lack of artistic talent. Lastly, I chose this lovely shade of blue because it's a very pleasant and soft color that fits the holiday theme. Plus the assault of red and green would not have meshed well.
