    So Bolin and Asami...

    I know I haven't been alone in thinking that there may be a potential romance brewing between Asami and Bolin. Honestly, in Rebel Spirits and the Southern Lights they seemed way closer then they were in season 1 and I had to wonder why Asami would bring him to a negotiation. If they do start a...

    Traditionalist Chief Unalaq and his water bending daughter.

    I don't know if I should include a spoiler tag or something but if so mods feel free to add one . So far in this season of Korra we've had this theme of tradition vs. change/evolution. Chief Unalaq of the Northern water tribe is totally set on making sure that both water tribes return to...

    How many airbenders exist in Korra's time period?

    So my first impression was that Tenzin and his family were the only airbenders in the world. That would make sense since Aang was of course"the last airbender." It would also mean that the next Air nomad Avatar would be a person descended from Aang...which would be interesting...and weird...

    The Humpty Dumpty conspiracy.

    This is for an illustration project I've been doing recently. Basically we took nursery rhymes and tweaked them into new stories. I did Humpty Dumpty. My theory is that Humpty was either shot off of or pushed off of the wall for protesting unfair treatment of eggs.... Those in power would like...

    Purity balls and the idea of women as property.

    Hello everyone. Does anyone else have the concern that some aspects of the abstinence movement is continuing the idea of unmarried girls being the property of their fathers? Specifically events like purity balls where itseems that a daughter is expected to "pledge" her chastity to her father...

    Exosquad dvd release.

    So this week Universal finally got around to releasing what in my opinion is one of the best, most sophisticated action cartoons ever created in the U.S. For those of you who are to young to remember it, or never watched it (I didn't really during its original run) the show was really...

    New drawing (and a word about genocide.)

    Just finished drawing this piece which was a "redo" of a drawing I did in 2007 about the current situation in Western Sudan. In the last year or so I've learned so much more about drawing that I felt I could finally do this subject, which I feel so strongly about, justice. In reality this is an...

    Is it possible to be a meat eating enviromentalist?

    Hey there everyone! So I'm a vegitarian (considering Veganism eventually...maybe) and I just wanted to throw that question out there. I've heard some of my fellow herbivores boldly claim that it is impossible to be both a regular meat eater and a "green" person. They say that the meat...

    Could use the help of any Middle Eastern/Arab forum members.

    Odd thread title I know, and in truth the conversation is open to everyone but specifically I was hoping to hear from any of my fellow forum members who are Arabs or of Middle Eastern descent. Recently I asked a certain girl (an Arab-American) who I'm interested in out for a bite to eat. She...

    Copy of a master drawing.

    I think this is a copy of drawing from an academy in China, which was a copy of a Russian Academy drawing. In any case I enjoyed drawing it for school. Mine is the one that's not taped:sweat: .

    New figure drawing (caution unclothed figure)

    What would you do segments on 20/20. Anyone seen these?

    Just found out about it last week, and I think they're fascinating social experiments. I even sent them a message with some of my own ideas for what I'd like to see. Basically it's hidden camera thing where the hire actors to act out morally controversial scenarios, and see how people react...

    About the Avalon World Tour in Gargoyles.

    Just watching Bushido (interesting episode) over again and I just thought of something. Did Avalon weave some kind of magical spell over Elisa,Goliath, and Angela so that they could speak any language or did everyone they bump into just happen to speak English?

    Academic figure drawing class.

    This one is from our Tuesday academic figure drawing class. The one on top is a better quality picture, but the one on the bottom isn't cropped (can't help it scanner problem.)

    To all African Americans and Asian Americans.

    Okay this post isn't meant to incite any kind of racialy insensative language. Just my curiosity. So I've read and heard stories recently about how upset some black women and some Asian men get upset when a member of their ethnicity, of the opposite sex, dates outside of their ethnicity. Is...

    Animation Day!

    On Tuesday night I had the absolute joy of hanging out with my former teacher Charles (of Animation Nation fame or infamy depending on who you ask), for Animation Day. Animation Day is an anual event that Charles and his school put on every April fools day in order to celebrate art, the medium...

    Should "The Spectacular Spider-Man" have used Deb Whitman instead of Gwen?

    First of all let me say that I really love this new Spidey series. I know that some of the people involved the show read this forum, and I just wanted to say that it rocks. It captures the essence of what was great about the 60’s/70’s Spidey stories as well as successfully adapting what’s worked...

    I am now a Runaways JUNKIE!

    (Spoilers through volume 5) So I’ve recently become a huge fan of Bryan K Vaughn’s Runaways series. I started with Pride and Joy a while back and I must say that it’s kept me riveted. I’ve read and reread every book up to volume 5 (which I’m just over half way through), looking for clues and...

    Sight-Size cast drawing.

    Sight-Size cast drawing. (Caution nudity) Here's the cast we were drawing in my Thursday sight-size class last Fall. My classmate Josh and I spent a long time sitting there staring at this thing. By the end of the ten weeks the two of us were convinced that this thing was alive and was...

    Network reluctance to strong story continuity/ongoing arcs.

    I've heard it said by some people in the American animation industry that there is reluctance on the part of certain networks to allow their cartoons to have strong story continuity. Nick supposedly has handed down this kind of mandate at some points (which makes the wonderful Avatar even more...

    Digeridoo it.

    Bad pun I know. Drew a picture of a guy playing one of the world's oldest wind instruments, the Didgeridoo . It was fun breaking out this drawing between breaks during class. I think it's important to have your own creative things going while doing work/projects for something else. I hope...

    Megatokyo talkback (spoilers.)

    Thought I'd create a discussion thread for this comic. Here's what I wrote about it on my blog. Megatokyo, a web comic created by Fred Gallagher and Rodney Canston but now written and drawn solely by Gallagher. When I picked up one of the collected volumes in the library (Volume 4) I...

    Black super villans in cartoons.

    It occured to me that there aren't many of them around. I suppouse some of it comes from a reluctance to potray minorities in a bad light, but it seems kind of strange. Any thoughts?

    What can be done to improve the status of Animation in the U.S?

    So if you frequent pretty much any animation forum for any particular period of time you'll hear the complaint about animation not being taken seriously as an art form in the U.S.A. Anime fans are notorious for ranting about it, often saying it's the reason they prefer anime so much. Any variety...

    Merfolk!!!

    Okay so here’s a piece I worked on for two months off and on (before my school semester.) Originally I was thinking that the theme would be “Love without prejudice.” I had started thinking about all the stuff interracial couples have to go through and this came to me. Eventually it just became...

    So what's up with Star Trek and these contrived late series romances?

    Now I'm a Trek fan but I've noticed this in more than one of the franchises TV series. Next Gen: Out of nowhere Worf and Troi suddenly hook up in the Seventh Season. I know that I’m not the only one who scratched my head at this. DeepSpace9: Again Worf is involved with a strangely sudden...

    Valerie Grey, missed opportunity in Danny Phantom?

    So there were many of us who felt that Valerie's plotline wasn't really exploited to it's fullest extent in Danny Phantom. We didn't get to see much of her reaction to finding out that Danny had ghost powers in either Reality Trip or Phantom Planet. We didn't see how she reacted to Danny and Sam...

    Were the people behind Jake Long fans of Bone (spoilers for both stories)?

    Just occured to me not to long ago as I was reading that great comic series. You have a charecter named Rose (Female protagonist in Bone) and Thorn (her grand daughter.) In both stories we have a young woman who's memories were altered, is a skilled warrior, and who's destiny is tied very...
