I couldn’t quite help myself, so sue me (?) okay please don’t, I can’t afford a lawsuit
The universe demanded that I made the connection between ATLA and the Olympics, but it brought me to it in a very unexpected way. I’m already used to Google’s knack for sending weird news to my phone, but I discovered it can still impress me when it sent me this particular article.
… Naturally I was utterly confused over why my phone would expect that to interest me, but out of morbid curiosity, I guess, I clicked it and had a good laugh over the whole thing. Soon enough I was thinking “It’s not like they’re my hornball OTP, no way every single athlete would possibly need so many…”
And that’s when I did a double take. My OTP… in the Olympics?!
And of course my brain blew up. The result of that mental explosion will be the 7-parter story that I’ll be publishing for the next challenge of the Sokkla Saturdays, a story I couldn’t be more excited about even if I tried. I guess I should have held back the cover for Saturday too xD but I couldn’t help myself. So you get it a few days early so that you know what to expect and, hopefully, get as hyped as I am!
As you can see, this is my take on the Avatar: the Last Airbender’s version of the Olympics, organized by the White Lotus. Hence, the black circle is for the White Lotus, the others speak for themselves xD each competitor has a headband that distinguishes whether they’re benders (white headband) or non-benders (black headband), and at the center of the headband they have different colors as to identify which nation they hail from. There’s teams for each nation, even for the Air Nomads despite Aang is the only actual representative of their team (but as he’s the Avatar he gets to participate in more events than anyone else, so don’t feel too sorry for him xD). Zuko doesn’t get to join in because he’s a Head of State, same as Hakoda, Arnook and Kuei. And as can be understood, I hope, Kuei is very much hellbent on the success of the Earth Kingdom in this major event xD
Also, Mai doesn’t like the Fire Nation’s uniform, especially the headband, so she refuses to wear it, period xD Everyone’s a bit older here, though I’m to sure if it’s apparent, but they are supposed to be.
Well, I hope you all like the fanart and that you enjoy the story in a couple of days, once I post it! And if you’re interested in them, enjoy the Olympics too xD
(curse Tumblr’s crappy resolution, click the image to see it properly, I guess .___.)
The full group!
Our main stars, Azula (with her new armor) and Sokka
And alas, two days later and without Starbucks, here’s the art piece I’ve been slaving over during the last week. No less than twenty of our biggest characters of the story! :’DDDD
It was a lot of work and I obviously had a few mishaps here and there, but I reckon the work is done and I can just throw this out there. I do hope you’ll be forgiving of the mishaps….
I hadn’t really known what I’d make for the Anniversary, so when I realized I hadn’t made a group picture like this I thought “What the hell” and went for it. My hand hates me for it now, but I’d like to think it was worth it… :’D
If you’re wondering who’s who, the pics have captions to explain. Though I hope it won’t be so hard to identify the characters, if you’re a Gladiator reader
xD
I am really grateful for these three years working with these awesome folks up here, and I’m looking forward to many more!
ahhhhh finallyyyyyyyy after ages ; u; I’ve finally finished drawing the longest illustration I have made this year *insert victory tune here* my back hurts ;__;
curse you Piandao you’re ruining everything D: I haven’t drawn my pleasures for quite a while now, so I really am happy for finally drawing tons of Sokkla ; u;
this is my fanart for @seyaryminamoto‘s Gladiator >u< it’s pretty lengthy (102 chapters as of now) but it’s realllyyyyyyyyyy worth the read ^u^ especially for fellow Sokkla fans like me *u*
still waiting for the day when Azula will openly say “I love you” to Sokka :DDD and sorry I haven’t drawn Rui Shi and Kino forgive meeee
oh, and as usual, since the file’s too big I suppose dashboard quality sucks, therefore please view in its original size ; u;
I know this isn’t exactly what you requested, anon… BUT I COULDN’T HELP IT!
Sokka and Azula in the ninja outfits was a great idea, period. But soon enough, after reading this ask, I just started to wonder how Zuko and Katara would react upon seeing these two stealing their ninja thing? xD so I decided I HAD to make it with the two pairs of ninjas instead. It was totally called for!
I had a lot of fun making this, can’t lie. Azula’s hair is up in a ponytail BECAUSE I JUST LOVE HOW SHE LOOKS WITH THAT HAIRSTYLE! because Katara gets a different hairstyle while being a ninja, so why not Azula? No hairpiece, though, because that’s just going to get in the way, right?
I’m surprised by how easy it was to draw Katara. I dunno why it was easy, but it just was xD And I’m still shocked by the fact that I managed to give Zuko a proper facepalm O__o dunno how that happened. I got way too lucky with the hands this time around.
Today I was cleaning old and unneeded files from my computer and come upon old screenshots of The Sims when i used to play it several years ago. I had all atla characters there, but the action revolved mostly about Sokka, Azula, Katara, Aang and Toph.
Here you can see Sokka sleeping in his sleep bag for some unknown reasons and Toph in her uniform of police woman after long day of work. If i remember correctly Sokka and Toph liked to fight with each other, but would still remain good friends.
Sokka met Azula in gym late at night. Although Sokka was already sleepy, he decided to stay late and knew better this charming lady.
Sokka is out with Azula and since Sokka is meat and sarcasm guy he took her to get to place where is lots of food to eat, there was lots of sarcasm too.
Surprisingly Azula and Toph become quite good friends and both shared tips of how to maintain good body to be ready to kick ass.
Katara’s and Aang’s wedding. Sokka invited Azula and she made sure to make Katara mad and angered her. She had lots of fun that day.
Love is in the air. Sokka and Azula kissing during late night stay at Sokka’s place. We can see Katara and Aang sleeping in next room.
Here we see Azula and Sokka kissing in Azula’s place. Zuko don’t give a fuck about what his sister is doing right now and instead is trying to cook something to get his mind away. He was terrible cook. After some time Zuko met and dated Suki and Jin and there was some drama when both girls have met at same place.
Azula kicking Sokka’s ass during their Kung fu sparring session on gaang journey to China. Sokka invited Azula to come. Toph was very interested in Kung fu and got even better at it than Azula mostly because Azula would spend more time with Sokka that training in Kung fu. There is even paparazzi taking photos of them.
This is the big moment when Sokka proposed to Azula.
The answer was yes! The Zombie is stalking them, but Azula could easily kick its ass if he decided to do something nasty and ruin her big moment.
Sokka’s and Azula’s wedding. Katara is heavy pregnant by the time Sokka and Azula decided to formalize their relations.
Here come the first child of Katara and Aang. Everyone freak out especially Sokka and Azula.
Azula woke up early and is already planning to do something nasty.
Here we can see Azula screaming at Katara about something, since they all are in their night gown it most likely that Katara’s child woke everyone with his load screaming. Katara don’t give a fuck what Azula is raging about. We can also see Sokka’s desk in next room where he is inventing new gizmos.
Sokka and Azula discussing computers while laying on bed.
It all lead to having some quality time that includes lots of kisses, snuggle, hugs and sex.
Sokka and Azula sleeping in same bed. Sokka thinks about food even in his dreams, but that take only second place. The fist place is occupied by Azula and how much he love her. Katara and Aang already had three kid at the time Sokka and Azula had their first born.
