*Dusts this place off*

I can’t promise that I’m back to submitting my doodles, but this is something that I’m happy with and it’s been a LONG time since I’ve been happy enough with something to post it here. 

I’ve been kinda lacking inspiration to draw lately so I looked at the sketches that i did from last year’s inktober and found this one of my Legend of Korra OCs Shizue and Fifty Fist Zheng (http://mizzmizzysart.tumblr.com/post/152019667069/inktober-days-17-and-18-reposted-one-of-my)

Shizue joins the Equalists as one of the less extreme members. The Equalist message makes her feel hopeful about ending triad violence in her neighborhood as she has little faith in the actual law enforcement. Zheng, as a member of a fire bender-exclusive triad, collects a “protection” tax from Shizue’s firebending, restaurant owning father. One day, her father (unnamed for now) is alarmed at receiving another visit from Zheng after he had given the triad member the weekly tax only a couple days prior. Fed up with the demand for a second, tax collection for the week, Shizue’s father attempts to attack Zheng and scare him off.  Zheng, being a rather talented hand-to-hand fighter ends up putting him down quickly; however, as he's distracted, he doesn’t notice Shizue moving in for a sneak attack - and that’s where you get this image.

Inktober days 17 and 18 reposted

One of my favorite things ever from Korra are the Equalists because I feel they had good points and valid concerns and I wish that subplot would have been explored more deeply. Shizue becomes an Equalist due to the triads running rampant in her end of the city and she’s tired of feeling helpless against them. Fifty Fist Zheng is a triad member who is one of the most constant terrorizing triad members present in her life. 

18 is just a simple portrait of my minor character Darya al-karaji. One of my favorite Creatures is Laleh as simple as it is. 

So I guess here’s a small revival of characters i have barely drawn.

Threw colors on this because I wanted to see it finished. May or may not go back to it and neaten the colors up. Not sure. It was just something I needed to get out of my system honestly 8'D

Korra OCs

Fifty Fist Zheng: He's a triad member and gets his name for his quick, strong punches. He grew up in a poor area of Republic City and the power that the triads had appealed to him. He later was taken under the wing of another member and has been part of the triad since.

Shizue: A non-bender from the Fire Nation who runs a restaurant with her firebending father. The two are bullied by the triads to pay for their protection, or else their business suffers. They almost went out of business the one time they refused to pay for protection because of these threats.  She believes in the movement, but not to the extremity of some other members and is more focused on getting rid of the triads. After the movement is disbanded, she retires her Equalist uniform, but still tries to make a positive change in her community. She continues to help teach non-benders chi-blocking and may or may not take to the streets at night to mess up triad plans.
