Ok but what if it was pro-(american)football instead of pro-bending? :D

JDS: This sequence was revised a number of times before we got it right. We knew this was it, the big finale, so we wanted to make sure we all did our part and put our best foot-or in this case, feet-forward. Storyboards by Ki-Hyun Ryu, Lauren Montgomery, and Joaquim Dos Santos. [x]

BK: I modified this bird’s-eye view that Lauren had painted for the spirit energy explosion, but that sequence already had a really nice rhythm to it, so we left it alone and figured we could just share the painting in the art book. You can see how much work went into the three lighting setups that transition in a matter of seconds in a single shot! Animation is no picnic. I wanted the new portal to open up to a part of the spirit world we had not seen yet. Christine and I referenced bizarre iceberg formations for the mountains, baobabs for the trees, and aquatic plants for the field of flowers. Lauren and I researched pictures of aquariums lit by black lights for the otherworldly color scheme. It all came together to make a location that was pretty, yet a bit unsettling, which I think is an appropriate vibe for this postbattle conversation. Background designs by William Nanqing Niu and Christine Bian. Paintings by Bryan Konietzko, Melissa King, and Lauren Zurcher. [x]

I made a pumpkin. Little torn to support the red lotus but i think it turned out great.

I think it turned out great as well!

JDS: Despite getting her butt kicked and being out of practice, Korra continues to battle back and mounts a pretty strong offense. But overcommitting on her strikes leaves her incredibly vulnerable, and Kuvira is at the top of her game. Storyboards by Joaquim Dos Santos. [x]
