    It was only a matter of time until I contributed something to Korra.
    I've started to mess around with vectoring more so what the hell. I think I'm starting to get more used to Illustrator's interface so I'll likely be doing a lot more stuff like this in the future.

    They're meant to be desktop sized, so if you want to use either, feel free. If you need it resized, let me know and I'll PM it to you.
    That aside, cnc is appreciated/welcome.

    These should be in the Traditional Art.

    But anyways I really love these, they're really cute.

    The Naga one has lovely colors, they do not contrast, nor hurt one's eyes. Great composition and nice amount of detail whilst remaining a vector.

    The Pabu one is also very well done in colors and such. I love how you have him up in the corner. The only thing I'm uncertain of is the shapes of the buildings in the background. But other than that, it's wonderful.

    I love these. You did a wonderful job. I've always been intrigued with vector art. Maybe it's because I myself have a hard time doing it myself. I would like to see more of your vectors in the future. Magnificent.

    There's no traditional element in any of the Illustrator work I do, if there was then yeah I'd put it in Traditional.

    I did do a version of Pabu's with no buildings, but I felt there was too much negative space and hurt the composition overall. And I didn't want to do just straight rooftop blocks, so it's more to just break up the composition than serve any realistic purpose.

    Planning to do a few more soon, probably FF/KH related maybe. But thanks. c:

    I really like how Urban the Pabu one looks. Like Llave, I really appreciate Vector art. (Just now learning that's what it's called)
    I feel the Naga one is missing a small something in the background. It's well done but I just fell like something should be there since it seems somewhat empty.

    Alright, it's your call. It just seems more appropriate there regardless you did make it rather than editing a stock image.

    Hm I see what you mean now. Yeah that makes more sense and now that I know it looks good. Guess I just needed to know why you did that.

    That would be cool.

    These are both oh so very lovely! I really like vector art, it's a nice change from the norm.

    Both of them are very nice too look at. They have a soft feeling to them. The simple colours here also help add to this sense of softness.
    And the simplicity of both tags make them work very well. The focals draw attention to themselves very well.

    Great job, as usual!

    I like them both. They're all simple so people will have less gaudy desktops and yet they portray what you've intended. The colors flow together nicely and actually fit together...unlike some desktops I've seen...

    My one complaint is that they don't seem that big to me. When I used the Naga one, it seemed a little bit of the JPEG quality when the file extension is PNG. Was that a problem with how my screen is huge or...?
