*giggles* Yes this is what happens when you listen to ACDC while drawing the princess of the Earth Bending tribe.
As some of you might already know this is Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender. She is the blind, twelve year old earthbender that agreed to teach Aang how to earthbend so that he might be able to defeat the Fire Nation and restore balance to the world. Simply put I love her character and think she is very much a welcome addition to the show. I love how vocal she is about her opinion regardless of the other person's stature. She's witty, sarcastic, and always out to prove herself. Dressed much like a doll (thanks to her father), though she is really a tomboy at heart. She's always found running around barefoot leaving the soles of her feet quite soiled. And for you real otakus out there- Toph's style is based on Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu- a REAL form of martial arts. Much like the other elemental tribes, the writers of this show wanted Toph's and the other Earth Benders' fighting style to be as realistic and unique as possible. I think they exceeded their goal. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Also, if you haven't watched the show on Nick yet I highly recommend it. I'm happy to say my kids and I love to watch this one and rarely if ever will we miss an episode. Yes, it's that damn good. <3 Oh snap! Wanna see the black and white version of this? : [link] How about my reference photo while I'm at it? : [link] |
