You mean Katara?

>>78145

No, I mean Suki.

A Katara is fine too, though.

>>78146 Oh wow. I can't believe I never saw it, but think Suki's design is based on Princes Mononoke. I'm so glad they took the stripes off her cheeks, because it made the comparison a little too obvious.

There were some scenes- particularly Azula's huge breakdown at the end, with those almost comically huge globby tears... that almost made me forget I was watching Nickelodeon and not a Miyazaki film.

>>78148 Oops, that was me. Forgot to put my name in.

I'm a little disppointed that a casual google search isn't turning up either of the screencaps I'm looking for, but just for comparison I'd like to see the caps of Azula screaming/crying with one of Sen crying while eating the bun in the garden in Spirited Away.

I'll have to look for those pics later though, since I have to get to a convention now. D:

HUGE TEARS D:

>>78148

I don't see it really.

>>78124
Her face/eyes look a little weird, but I love the little hair danglies. Loopies are still superior, though.

>>78146
The makeup on her cheeks looks awkward. I'm glad they scrapped it.

>>78148
Doesn't look that similar to me.

These pics are making me wish I had my book already.

They point out a lot of anime influences that I would've never caught in this book. Like apparently Bumi's physique is based on that of the Evangelions.

>>78184

And Hei Bai's monster form rips a few pages from the design of the Angels from Evangelion.

>>78191

THAT'S what I was being reminded of!

I will treasure this forever and ever and ever.

My only qualm? Why does Chan have more concept art in here than Mai and Ty Lee? And Azula barely gets more than a couple sketches, too. As a massive Dangerous Ladies fangirl, I feel a little jipped.

There is so much other cool stuff to distract me in here, though. <3

>>78286
:D!
but yeah, you're right -- a lot of secondary characters barely got anything. But at least there's a lot of cool setting-related stuff to make up for it.

>>78286

Ugh, I was afraid of that--Mai is like my favorite character. :/ What a shame.

Totally still buying it, though.

>>78286

Is that all there is for Mai and Ty Lee? D: That really sucks, they're both pretty important characters. Aw well. Mine should be arriving on Thursday and I'm sure there's enough cool stuff in it to make up for the lack of Dangerous Ladies awesome.

Oh hey, piandao.org (more like piandao.BROrg) has posted a bunch of quality scans from the artbook: http://piandao.org/scans/artbook/

>>78286
That makes me frowny. :(

>>78303
I'm only going to look at a few of these to avoid spoiling myself before my own book arrives. But I'm kind of worried that having too many good scans of this thing floating around will discourage people from buying the artbook, and I want lots of people to buy it so that maybe we'll get more cool merchandise, like a soundtrack. I want one of those bad.

>>78398

I agree. This is something that had a lot of love put into it.

>>78398 >>78418

I don't want Piandao.org to be the reason why people WOULDN'T buy the book. I've scaled the number of scans back from 95 to 30. This is slightly less than one sixth of the book's total content (it has 186 pages). Hopefully, the scans that I've chosen to showcase accurately represent all that this book has to offer. I wouldn't want the site to fall short of properly advertising it to potential buyers.

I'm afraid of buying this book because The Allspark Almanac has forever changed my perception of art books, and it's pretty stiff competition.

I ordered mine over the weekend and paid to have Amazon deliver it today. Its 8:35pm Eastern and the damn thing isn't here!

>>78457
Well yeah, it kinda was just Memorial Day. They're gonna be backlogged.

>>78286
>I feel a little jipped.
Isn't that a racial slur or sumfink?

>>78460

Yep, against Roma (Gypsies).

>>78461
Huh. Aight. Learn somethin new erryday, I s'pose.

>>78429

That was the right decision, I think.

>>78459
I forgot about that. But the tracking info says its about half an hour away, so I'm not gonna leave the house til it shows up.

>>78429
That works for me. Thank you for the scans, good sir (ma'am?)

My copy arrived today and I spent the afternoon looking through it. Absolutely spectacular. It's fascinating to read about how the characters evolved, how they got people like Sifu Kisu on, the insane amount of work that went into the show...just awesome. I'm so happy I bought this. And despite the fact that I'm not happy with the movie, I really like Shymalan's foreword.

Got mine today!

brb, fapping furiously

My copy just arrived. It came at the same time as a couple of parcels for one of my housemates. I was standing there wondering why parcels from the UK just have a little Air Mail sticker on them, while parcels from the US are slathered with barcodes and security declarations and so forth, when I noticed something. Just check out this photo I took...

Does anyone here no enough about the Royal Mail to say whether this has nothing to do with anything, or what?

The thing on the Chinese calligraphy of the series by S.L. Lee blew my mind.

>>78813
I order from the UK a lot and could potentially help, but I don't quite understand what you're asking. Do you use the name kora or something?

>>78932
Nah dude, the new rumoured Avatar series is called Legend of Korrah

>>78932
What Milli said. The text string "kora" does not occur in my name, address, or any information I could have conceivably used in ordering the book. Not even if I alphabetize my credit card number or something.

>>78940
Forgot my hat.

This book is better than sex.

>Love this book so much I want to share the love
>Order a copy for friends
>Oh hey, why don't they have it yet? It's been too long!
>Check Amazon
>Not Yet Shipped
>Temporarily out of stock
>Delivery estimate: August 12, 2010 - October 2, 2010

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

I pre-ordered mine from Chapters (Canada book seller), except they said the publish date was June 15. So, no surprise now, mine still hasn't shown up due to this. Any other Cannucks still waiting for their copy or am I just lucky?

Opps, asked about it in the wrong thread... as long as people are constantly ordering it on Amazon, the book will keep being printed, right? Cause I'm not sure when I'll be able to get it.

I ordered mine four days ago on Amazon. It says it's going to come in on the 27th. That's such a long time. How will I be able to wait?

I'm so glad I live in Europe. Got it in less than a week.

I just ordered it from Amazon this morning, and I'm giddy as a schoolgirl in a hentai manga!

I think I'll take a week after I get it to try to just churn out Avatar fanart.

>No, not the one with all those blue smurf-kitties

I don't get it.

>>78286
As an Azula fanboy i was kinda pissed about that as well, still great book

>>78286
Those eyes are mass murd'r eyes if I ever seen them.
