Water Tribe 445

It was something that was bugging me since the beginning: WHY would the spirit spare Zhao?
Arnook finally understood correctly what the spirits wanted. The spirits intend to use Zhao. Before they could trust him though, they had to test him that he would do. I guess Zhao passed the test, in their eyes, when he made his last choice to fight for the tribe.

Page original size 5,5" X 8".
Rough pencils. Grey shading, lettering and word balloons done in Photoshop
These pages done for fun, and also as a good exercise in storytelling and planning on such a long scale, which I had not really done before.
I am not planning on inking, cleaning more or coloring them. I simply do not have the time.

The Avatar universe belongs to Mike, Bryan, Nickelodeon-Viacom-MTV.
All the characters belong to them, but a few of the extras are my own creation.
