Description
"And from yonder far places, Three Wise Lotus arrived at the birth of the new Avatar child, bearing gifts of health, protection, and... ROCK CANDY!"Sure, none of it follows any sort of plot line... they wouldn't have been able to attend Aang's birth, and they were probably no longer alive for Korra's, but... I don't really care about those details
See it in my Advent Calendar Project here:
And in the final Advent Calendar Picture:
....
Avatar and Korra belongs to Mike, Bryan and Nick. Art belongs to me.

Thanks for looking

PS. Ryuki, the hidden ninja strawberry, has his first appearance in the project. Can you see him
(if not, look here: [link] )

OH MY GOSH! I'm gonna have to favorite this 'cause I was reading aloud the description in some weird voice and when I got to the part: "...ROCK CANDY" I sounded so much like Bumi it's not even funny... wait yeah it is 'cause I couldn't stop laughing for a solid 5 minutes XD

Love it! You should draw the old people more often.
...And I'm a Christian and I don't find this offensive. There are parallels between Aang and Jesus even if Bryan and Mike probably didn't intend them.

I LOVE THIS. Although I'm not sure about using Bible stories in other contexts like this, I have to hand it to you: this is a very well-drawn and amusing deviation. CONGRATULATIONS on completing your advent calendar!

A lot of people have expressed their unease at a picture like this... personally, as a Christian myself, I see no problem with it 
I'm not trying to supplant or subvert the Bible. I'm just spreading the joy of Christmas. The Avatar story is already very close in context to the Christ story... as are a lot of stories in popular fiction.
Well... thank you

I understand that - and I agree. I personally don't take offence to this deviation, but I get why some other people might. And you're most welcome. It was a pleasure to comment!

hmm on one hand I like the crossover to what Christmas is really all about.. on the other hand I wonder if it is blaspheme.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean, you can see it however you want. But, I had no malicious intent when I made this picture.
I simply wanted to spread the Christmas spirit of peace and giving while simultaneously offering homage to the original meaning of Christmas. It never came across my mind that someone might construe that as blaspheme.
The Avatar story itself is very allegorical of the Christ story. The idea of a "Chosen One," both pure and brave, who must sacrifice himself (or of himself) for the betterment of humanity... is quite common among movies, television shows and novels today. These things can come very close to the Christ story, but they don't seek to supplant or subvert those sacred things.
I am Christian myself. I never meant to offend anyone or treat lightly those things you hold dear... my personal belief is that the larger part of blaspheme is in the intents of the person, that it's a conscious decision instead of an accidental offense.
Personally, my intents were to uplift and inspire. I apologize if that offended you in any way.
Merry Christmas

Fantastic work! I like this a lot! This is a good spin on the Nativity story, only Avatar: The Last Airbender style. I especially like Bumi, Piandao, and Pakku in their White Lotus uniforms.
