North Air Temple


Avatar Season 1, episode 17.  The Northern Air Temple on the cusp of a mountain.  The script called this setting "The Air Above", so we went with a super wideshot overlooking the panorama.  I colored it for my portfolio this year.  If you look closely, you can read the note that says "windmills" on the side pointing to a helix....It looks cute (if you can call my handwriting cute).

Teeeechnically, I toned it first, then colorised it & added textures & painted highlights. I wouldnt start a painting like that from scratch, but I had little time....This is in the back of some of my presentation cards :) the other half have the mountain view of the castle from the first posting in this blog.
