Left: it's 2014, I'm a high schooler. I got my signed copy of the Legend of Korra art book when I met one of the co-creators. Told him I became an artist because of the Avatar series. Right: 2021. I get to share that I co-created an official Avatar story for Free Comic Book Day.
Rough sketches: I came up with a loose design for the two main characters, but also wanted to treat the city they were in as a secret third character. I looked at a lot of heartbreaking war photojournalism of destroyed homes in Syria and Lebanon for the environment to feel right.
The Art Director picked her favorite, with clear notes. (I always forget to zoom in on characters!). If the previous sketches felt empty thats on purpose! Gotta give the designers room to put the title.

my artistic process lately
A quick refresher I did with my art team at @play_multiverse to practice how to understand your references, and use them meaningfully and in a way that keeps the energy in your sketches! our team does weekly foundation sessions together just to keep our brain juices going

If you're following me it's probably because you like comics. Read "Palestine" and "Footnotes in Gaza" by Joe Sacco. If you want to see the reality of Palestinians, and hear their lived experience, but need distance from actual video/photos of war- read Joe Sacco.
