Description
Companion piece to Spiritual State that I did last year. Coloring and lining this was too much for me and my laptop. I really like how this came out but this style was very challenging so I know a lot of little things could've been better if I had some more experienece. Despite how difficult this was for me to do, I'm already thinking that I should do another similar piece for Aang!

Avatar Wan became my instant favorite after his episodes! They could have a whole mini-series on his exploits alone and I'd love it! The art they did in that episode, the way they drew everything in ancient Chinese style art to give it that long, long ago, fairy tale earth, and those backgrounds and scenery every single image could have been a still piece of art! Simply brilliant stuff! This encapsulates Avatar Wan Perfectly! at his best! Amazing piece!!! Thank yoU!

He became an instant favorite with so many people. Fanart of him seem to pile up so much, it's almost more than Korra. The dude should have a mini series.

I bought your print from Society6! I'm hoping to get it signed by Steven Yuen at FanExpo next month 
Great piece of work. I love the art style and how it really resembles the art style the animators used for "Beginnings" but is also different enough to really stand out on it's own. You've captured Wan excellently and demonstrated all four bending techniques well in the space.
