Zimmay - Sexxy_Bunny

Here is another version of Sexxy_Bunny but this one was done by Zimmay.

After the one by Len Barboza had been done, I wanted to have another one done.  Maybe it was a creative impulse or something along those lines but another notion was that I wanted to see something more anime-like.  The one before was great but it stepped more into the realism area.  So, I asked Zimmay, who was opening her commissions at the time to take this one on.
Since Zimmay wasn’t going to do a digital lineart, I decided to do one myself.  A daunting task but still a fun challenge to do.  After the lineart was done, I set about to add the colors, which, when compared to doing the lineart seems so much easier to do.

Again, because of the fact that there were no good versions of the Pink Ranger symbol (a pterodactyl) I basically had to leave that part of the shirt blank.  But, the good news was that Bunny loved it completely.

Zimmay - Tokka - Engagement

This is the colored version of the Engagement drawn by Zimmay that I had commissioned.

I know that this one is very similar to the picture Betrothal by Thephoebster but I had a different idea of how I wanted this moment to look. Especially with the betrothal necklace that Sokka would make for Toph. One of the big differences is that this would be a little after the end of the series and Sokka realizes that he loves Toph over Suki.

The necklace is based on the pic in my gallery: Toph Necklace Design

Since people liked the little scene I had for Tokka Height Difference I think I’ll do the same for this one.

The war with the Fire Nation was over and it seemed like Team Avatar was about to head back to their homes at the different parts of the world. Zuko and Mai were about to head back to the Fire Nation. Iroh was going to stay behind in Ba Sing Se. Katara and Aang were going to settle down in the Southern Air Temple.

However, Sokka had the hardest trouble with what to do with himself. He had something in his pocket that he painstakingly carved over the last few days. It wasn’t like any other carving that he had attempted. This one he had chopped from a crystal within the catacombs of Ba Sing Se. A green crystal that he knew would be perfect for what he had in mind. He worked on it while all were celebrating. He may not have done well in many artistic endeavors such as painting, drawing, or carving but there was something different about this.

It was done and now for the moment.

He went to find Toph who was standing near the balcony of Iroh’s Tea Shop looking out blankly into nothingness.

“I can hear you coming, Sokka.” She said with a smile.

“I know you could.” Sokka smiled back.

“You’ve got something on your mind, don’t you?” She asked with a cocked eyebrow.

“I’m that obvious, huh?”

“I can feel your heart beat from all the way over here, you know.”

“Toph,” Sokka began, “There’s something I wanted to ask you.”

“Go ahead.” She said as she turned her back towards him and her hands were behind her head in that same blase attitude that she would have about anything and everything.

Sokka came up behind Toph with the thing that he had been working on so hard for so long. He pulled at the band and wrapped it around Toph’s neck.

“What is this, Sokka?” She asked reaching up to touch the round surface of the green gem.

“It’s a betrothal necklace.” Sokka whispered. “It may not be a tradition in my tribe but…I wanted to do this for you.”

Toph could feel it’s surface and could see through her fingers that Sokka had carved in the round coin of the Earth Kingdom and the waves of the Water Tribe. If she could see the colors she would see the creamy green shade of the crystal and the blue of the band that wrapped around her neck.

“Sokka…” Toph exhaled amazed by the things’ beauty. She then smiled saying, “I think you know what my answer is already, don’t you.”

“Yes, I do.” Sokka said fastening the necklace. “My wife.”

With that, Sokka wrapped his arms around Toph and she placed her hands onto his forearms and laid her head back against his chest.

Zimmay - Tokka - Height Difference

This is the colored version of the Height Difference drawn by Zimmay that I had commissioned.

I had seen similar pictures to this one before where it was Sokka and Toph kissing and Toph had earthbended a platform for herself to kiss Sokka. When you think about it, it rather is empowering in a way that she uses her talents to get close to him.

The biggest problem that I had with this was what to do with the background. Originally I thought of putting a wall there something like the walls of Ba Sing Se but then I thought of something more like the ocean and when I did that there seemed to be this mixture and fusion of Earth and Water. Such as the earth that they’re standing on and the ocean in the background. So it’s a nice meeting of Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe.

But with a picture like this I think I’ll write something as a setup.

Toph came up to Sokka.

“Can I talk to you alone, Sokka?” She asked.

“Sure, Toph.”

She had taken him to the edge of the island where they were hiding out before the time of the invasion. It was a nice spot as far as the view of the ocean but Sokka understood that Toph couldn’t see it.

“What’d you want to talk to me about?”

“Would you mind trying something with me?” She asked and Sokka could already tell that she was blushing underneath the bangs of black hair.

“Is it anew attack or something?”

“You could say that.”

“Okay sure.”

Toph moved forward towards Sokka. She stamped her foot on the ground and earthbended a platform for herself which brought her face towards the neck level of Sokka.

“What’re you doing Toph?” He asked.

She didn’t answer but instead leaned forward, pushing herself up onto her toes, and pressing her lips against Sokka’s.

The shock was so much that he could feel the heat flash through his body as if he were ice in the middle of a frying pan. He had kissed girls before. There was Suki and Princess Yue but with Toph there was something very different about it. He wasn’t sure and frankly he didn’t care anymore. He simply allowed it to happen as if he were a boat being carried out to sea.
