My favourite cartoon series in recent years is Avatar: The Last Airbender (I own all three series on DVD, including the US-only final chapter). Today’s quick sketch is of Aang, the eponymous Avatar. I lost track of how long this took because I kept getting interrupted.

I’ve actually managed to add a couple of new images to my portfolio recently. I had the chance to colour up a sketch I did a few years ago for an NCsoft art test:

Breathtakingly beautiful artwork, and she’s only 22 years old. I want to hate her, but she’s just too damned talented.
Not that anyone will notice, but I’ve made some very minor tweaks to the site. I think I’ve now updated all the references to my employment status (they should all now say that I’m working for Full Fat and I’ve fixed the problem with the promote page. If you find anything broken, let me know [...]
I’ve been using Adobe Illustrator almost every day for years now, so I’m always surprised when I discover something new by chance.
