Manna~ sketches

I'd like to start with the fact that those are not the freshest drawings of mine, I know that they are odd and have strange faces, but these are just sketches. They are for showing how the character in the future would look like. Behold her character, not the mistakes. (: Thanks ♥

She is Manna, my self-based OC, based on the Avatar- Legend of Korra (:

I was wondering since I've seen the first part of Avatar(- Legend of Aang) that what kind of bender I would be? As every girl in those parts, watching Katara the waterbender was the most appealing, afterwards the airbending, because I'd like to fly as Aang did, but the fire and earthbending didn't really exercise my fantasy... My elements are fire and earth, and I'm confident and stubborn, so the earth would be the perfect element for me, but I didn't liked it...... But that day I watched the Legend of Korra! METALBENDERS?! Wow....... What could be cooler than that? :D Sure, to be the avatar, I know, but really- Metalbenders? Toph was badass as hell when she first metalbended, but that wasn't this cabel-riding thing what the cops do later. So I resigned, and made my first anime/cartoon based character, Manna.



Her name is my middle and last name, merged. Her story is simple, I didn't want her to be special, just to be normal.

Manna was born as the daughter of a earthbender father and a nonbender mother. Her father wasn't a successful teacher. They were living in a village, but she learned her metalbending skills and moved to The City. In that year, she became 20, and got the permission to study in the local metalbender school. Although her dream was to became a teahouse keeper, now she wants to be the best at the academy and soon become a great policewomen (:

1m 70 high, her weigh is no more than 60 kg
Hair color: brown
Eye color: green
Good in: one-to-one fighting (see lower)
Special technique: makes blade out of earth, mud, or metal, levitating parallel with her hand, cut with those blades (I hope someday she will able to make some diamond blades using high pleasure and some coal ^^ That would be Awesome! :D )

I added some "metal" or mud to her face, just like Alita had it (: It gave her a more dangerous outlook :D

I imagined her first in a teahouse lady, but instead of carrying teacups, she got an "earthplate" (god knows where she found it)... This drawing just draw itself... ^^'
The other sketch appeared near, and I left it like this.. She is happy, and clapping her hands :D And her hair is not in pony tail... I think she is going out, or having a date soon (:

Graphite is also "earth"!
I was so happy when I find it out! :D I Am an earthbender ;3

I was wondering what would be the first thing she'd done after the arriving. And that was the tea. Just stopped for a moment, bought a jasmine tea and wondering about the future in the city of her dreams (:


When I have time again, I'll finish my running projects, and color the drawings that need it. (:


All the drawings in this post can also be seen on my deviantart, in this gallery ^^
