A beautiful scene of Korra fighting the metal bending police with Republic City in the background. While Korra seems to be having a good time, I can’t say the same for the guy holding on to her…

What looks like some early drawings of Korra. It’s interesting to see how her character design developed.

A nice sketch of Korra water bending and fire bending at the same time, which is pretty cool. Also those are some pretty funny Korra faces. I love the one in the bottom right.

Here we see some of Korra’s outfits and drawings of cute baby Korra. “I’m the Avatar and you gotta deal with it!”

This shows some intersting shots of what looks to be the slums of Republic City, where I assume Mako and Bolin grew up. Also some cool early early character designs for the brothers.

Here get see the finished designs for Mako and Bolin. Mako looks as broody and angsty as usual while Bolin looks as sexy as usual.

Some hilarious Bolin faces with a few Mako drawings as well. Bolin really has the best expressions.

Marvel/Disney’s “Big Hero 6”-First Look

From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Big Hero 6,” an action comedy adventure about brilliant robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city. Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring comic-book style action and all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the CG-animated “Big Hero 6” hits theaters in 3D on November 7, 2014.

A couple weeks ago we promoted the Kickstarter for the creators of the amazing short The Reward. With only 7 days left their goal of turning the short into an animated series is just about half way funded.

SunCreature Studio contacted me and asked if I would promote the Kickstarter again with the words:

We can still make it!

And really, we can still make it! We’ve reached a point in the entertainment world where we can do awesome things as the viewership. We can help fund projects and help support the things we actually love and the things we actually want to see. So when an awesome and small studio comes around like SunCreature Studio, it’s important to give them all of the love and support that we can.

It’s really important to support independent arts and films - in anyway you possibly can! And if things work out and The Reward series gets funded it’s a great feeling to know that you had a part in it.

This is a chance where you can really be a part of something special. You’re more than the audience member; here you have an opportunity to a part of the team and actually make it happen! So I say this again, we can make it happen!

Spread the love and support for this great animated team and help their project come to life! So head on over to The Reward Kickstarter and give any amount that you can. And if you can’t spare any money I’m sure it would mean just as much to the studio if you would at least spread the word and encourage others to so too! Tell everyone you know! This is a great project and they really deserve all the help they can get!

Come on Tumblr, WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
