I wasn't planning to enter the Female Characters Trope Fest, but sometimes very bad ideas pop into my head and have to express themselves in the form of very bad art.

Description: A grey-scale three panelled cartoon depicting Ty Lee, Azula and Mai playing strip poker. Ty Lee is naked and smiling; Azula, in her underwear, is frowning; Mai, fully dressed, is saying, "Well, at least I'm having fun."

Things which are hard: hands, arms, playing cards.

Things which were wasted: the hours I spent researching Chinese and Japanese playing cards, only to remember that I really suck at detail.

Heehee.

All that research helped you imagine what the characters were experiencing and thus draw them more in character! That's what I tell myself, anyway :)

Sure, that must be it!

Ahaha, AWESOME. :D

Thanks!

oh man, AWESOME.

Thanks!

*icon bump*

You did a nice job with all three of them, but I especially like the way you captured Ty Lee's goofy smile.

Thanks! I'm glad you like that bit, because I was pleased with it.

Hee, this is great! Do you use markers? The coloring's really even and neat, whether or not you do.

Thanks! And I do use markers; the greys were Prismacolours and ... something else, and the black is just Sharpie. (You can see in the lower parts where my thick Sharpie is running out.) I'm glad you like the colouring, because that's always my weak point. (Okay, and hands. And arms.)

The coloring's great! I usually make a mess if I use marker, so I'm awed by how tidy your picture looks. (And I end up drawing circles for hands a lot. Heh.)
