Earthbenders

I tried my best to incorporate the Hung Gar stances in this. Toph is doing a part of the Southern Mantis form, which I may have messed up. Bolin’s just doing one of the generic punches. :)

“

Hung Gar is straightforward, honest style with a rigid philosophy. It teaches the student how to use self-control and to use his kung fu knowledge properly. Hung Gar students are guided to be firm believers in doing what is morally correct. These are the reasons why Hung Gar is one of the most popular southern kung fu styles in the world.

Hung Gar Hand Forms

Hung Gar was developed during the revolutionary time in China. It was designed to teach the patriots the system as easily and quickly as possible. Therefore, they could use their martial arts to battle against the Manchurians. All of the Hung Gar training techniques are contained within just a few select forms. This is greatly different from many other kung fu styles which have a multitude of different sets, each used to teach a separate technique.

There are four most important forms in Hung Gar which are considered the heart and soul of the system. These are Kung Ji Fook Fu Kuen, Tiger Crane, Five Animal, and Iron Thread. Other minor sets such as Kow Chi Nin Wan Kuen, Plum Blossom Fist, Butterfly Palm, Law Family Fist, and others were added to further expand Hung Gar’s fighting principle by the contemporary masters.

Hung Gar is basically a tiger system, but it also contains the fighting tactics of dragon, snake, leopard, and crane. Each animal has an important lesson to teach the Hung Gar student.

In China, the dragon is thought of as the spiritual king of the animals. It gives the Hung Gar practitioner bold internal power and spirit.
Soft and internal, the snake has a smart deceptive nature and can easily change from one move to another.
The tiger emits courage and strength.
The leopard embodies speed and dangerous power.
The crane teaches alertness, agility, active spirit, and balance.

Princess Yue of the Moon

I’ve always wanted to draw Yue. But my vision had better water graphic techniques than this one. Her design reminded me of a rabbit, which is also often associated with the moon in Chinese folklore.

Those things don’t exist in 1910.

Based on the head canon that Mary Poppins is a Time Lord. Mary Poppins was a “lost” Time Lord who was fascinated with Earth and decided to live as an Earthling. A head cannon of mine is that she regenerates to Ms Frizzle (Magic School Bus) in the future, seeing as they both are similar (educational/authoritative/parental) figures and goes on to teach an elementary school class in America. These three panels just illustrate a short “what if” the Doctor lands in 1910 England near 17 Cherry Tree Lane.

My apologies for inaccuracies. I’m not the biggest/best Doctor Who fan out there, and I admit to not finished watching it (because of school). So don’t murder me or anything. Kthxbai.

Just as Mycroft thought Sherlock’s pirate phase was over…

Now, Sherlock, let’s not be rude. Inspired by reapersun’s recent sketch of BBC Sherlock and X-files. Apologies for any inaccuracies. Only thing I remember from X-files are UFOs. I used to watch it with my mum when I was in primary school.

Nap time, little leafs

My initial idea for this one went something along the lines of Jinora reading to Ikki and Meelo, and falling asleep over time.

Belle digital paint practice

Looked up a bunch of tutorials today. I still don’t know how people do it. I mean, you know. Drawing REAL people. I can’t do that. At least not yet. Or very well.

“Paint what you feel”

Since it’s a long weekend, I actually had time to sit and reflect on myself, which is something I rarely do with all my schoolwork. When I was a child, I was often told that I would not become an artist. I was depressed most of my teenage life, but still drew anyway. I had big dreams. I wanted learn animation. The ultimate dream is to work in Pixar.

I did well in school as a whole, though not outstanding. My parents could not afford to send me to art school, but my grades were enough to get me a scholarship to Canada to do communication studies. I moved to Canada the same year Pixar Canada was launched, and it was then I realized that I shouldn’t give up and that I should just keep moving forward.
