This was basically practice with photoshop, trying to figure out how to color. I found a different way that I like better, that actually takes like, an eighth of the time that this does. >>;;
Fullview, plzkthnkx, or you're missing most of the detail~ I LOVE shading hair. >>;; I was focused mainly on the clothing. -oblivious in how to do that- If anyone has any tips for me, I'd appreciate it majorly. I have a general idea, but I'm still kinda stuck...Unless ppl think this is good. D:
Clothing, clothing~

On the characer side, this is Riaru, my Firebender. oO;; This is an original character. Plz forgive how amazingly sucky my fans are. And. Yeah. She had fans before I ever watched the episode with the Kiyoji Warriors. She uses the wind-contorting power of the fans, she controls the direction of the flame to a more detailed extent.

Y'know. I'm kinda obsessed with how...this should work.
-Firebenders should be able to control the FIRE OF THE EARTH. They should be incredibly rediculously strong with that kind of power. Kiyoshi had the abilitiy to move Kiyoshi Island because she pulled up that giant blarg of fire to break the island off of the main part of the Earth Kingdom. Why did Roku have such trouble with a Volcano if they have that kind of power?
-Waterbenders should have power of the water in a human's body. .-. Do the friggin math.
-Earthbenders should be able to move up a giant freaking mountain o f the earth. ._.
-Airbenders could potentially destroy fire benders in every aspect of everthing. WHY? What does fire need to burn? Air.
-They could also completely and utterly destroy any human being ever by removing the ability to BREATHE. In this regard, it is my opinion that air and water benders are potentially the most dangerous. Perhaps that's wy the fire nation went after them first?
-When did Toph and Katara magically learn all of these new solid-liquid-gas stateous moves? When did Toph become so simply adept at metal-bending?

I swear I'm done ranting. >>;
