do you still have interest in that atla story you made
Hi! Yes, I do. I’ve actually been drawing it lately.
There are other things in my life and it often gets overwhelming trying to do everything all at once. And in the mids of all that, drawing the comic used to feel like a job, one that is frustratingly time consuming. But lately school has gotten less busy and I’ve also changed my mindset about drawing the comic. I now draw it directly on paper without even making storyboards. This makes it fun for me, instead of feeling like a workload. It will probably not look as professional as it did before, but it will still be enjoyable.
I’m not intending to be consistent with drawing it however, because once again, it sucks the fun out of it and currently I can’t take any more tasks on my shoulders. I’ll be drawing it as long as it feels good to me, and at my own pace.
I have the drawings of the next 9 pages complete, I need to scan them, clean them up and add some tones. Don’t know when I’d do that.
Thank you for showing interest, it’s good to know there are people out there who’d like to read Sena’s Adventures!
Now the child holds the wisdom. There are no demons to tempt her, only friends who play. An angel holds her sigil, his wings black as the sun. A city burns in the distance.
A webcomic set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender
With new characters, locations, and lore!
The Government Building in Shun Fei, one of the three independent city states
The story takes place 165 years after the original story, with a completely different world building than Legend of Korra. (Yes, this comic is a sequel to AtLA and not LoK.)
Life in Shun Fei is a little bit different than how things used to be.
As for the main character of the story, it is Sena, a 12 year-old, non-bender boy. He is a bookworm and mostly annoyed with his life.

Now, please let me tell you a little bit about how this comic came to be!
I was a die-hard fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender as a kid, and that love has never died. I've always felt that Avatar's world was so lush and alive, that so many unique stories could be born from it. And even the most simple and humble ones would be infinitely interesting.
You definitely don't have to agree with me, but I was personally disappointed with how things went after the first series, meaning with both LoK and the comics (which I must admit I've never watched or read in entirety). For one thing, I couldn't come to terms with how Avatar's world had changed so much and became a lot more like our own world. So I asked, "If it were me, how would I write it?" And that's how this comic came to be.
( Despite this, I really hope that LoK fans will still enjoy my story as an AU! )
Sena's Adventures, at its core, is meant to be a story which examines the complex spiritual problems that arise from modernization. AtLA did something very similar, but through the framework of imperialism and war. Sena's Adventures on the other hand, takes place in a peaceful time. And even though its world is technologically far less advanced than that of LoK, it still carries the seed of a conflict between "reason and magic".

I wanted this story to feel simple and naive, like a children’s story. I really like that about AtLA and I believe many others do too, despite our biological ages.

And a final confession. I have never tried being active on the internet consistently before and it makes me a bit nervous. I have actually been drawing this comic for almost 2 years and I made only 24 pages in total, because I had very long breaks. But now that I’m uploading it, I intend to try my best to keep it going consistently.
Just so you know, from page 9 and on, I went monochrome for convenience and I’ll probably go less detailed with the shading in future pages for the same reason.
〜
Please enjoy Sena’s story!
( I’m really excited for the other main characters to be revealed, but it will take a while! )
The Feminine is the most potent, real and lifegiving power in my life. But it is also the most subtle and invisible, most easily lost against the currents of normality. Most easily lost inside the struggle.
Again and again I come back to it and life is born anew. What a feeling! To be that which I had forgotten that I am. That, which is unexplainable, unintelligable. Only felt.
I am the wind, I am the trees and rocks, I am all that is breathing and crying. And life is complete, despite being incomplete.
Had I not had a man in me, could have I just be? Oh, but the man and the woman are one and the same. I love him, and he loves me. I love her, and she… She is…
