My contribution to pride month this year! 🌈🔥 I had some fun experimenting with different layer blending modes. I made the trans fire with a combination of divide and overlay.

Aang: Here's some advice. Zuko: I didn't ask for any Aang: Too bad. I'm stuck here with my thoughts and you're the only one who talks to me.

I need to put this off of my chest. The idea of Dragon Rainbow Fire doesn't make any sense at all when we try to fit it into the workings of atla's world physically and spiritually. It was made to make Zuko special (specifically, more than Azula, because a large part of his character is his rivalry and competition with her) and I hope to God they drop it and don't bring it into future works because it ruins the logic of firebending. It falls into the category of Magic more than it does bending and if I recall correctly, the creators didn't want Bending to be thought of as Magic(they literally used Sokka as their mouthpiece in the first scene of the show to tell us that). I hate that they ruined their own logic and didn't provide any explanation to back up their point(because there isn't any).

I also want to add that the colors of the fire the dragons made were to be interpreted in a thematical sense for the characters (Aang and Zuko) and us the viewers, not in a literal sense despite the dragons actually creating those colored fires because that's something special to the dragon as firebenders not humans as firebenders!! The Qi that the dragons produce allows them to do that but the Qi humans produce make them capable of only making blue flames because scientifically, blue flames mean perfect combustion (pure energy produced through burning of Oxygen). When we translate this logic onto atla's world, it means that when dragons breathe air and produce fire, it comes out in many different color because that's how their Qi is when it's pure. It's a representation of the state of their Qi (highest state) and their spiritual existence(one with the world=fire is life=be balanced and all that). Following this logic, it makes sense for humans to only be able to produce blue fire(highest state of Qi emitted), and white fire(second highest state) because there's nothing after it, but, unlike the dragons who are spiritual and balanced all the time(original firebenders), humans aren't born balanced, hence they can enhance their Qi through other methods that don't involve a dance(training like Azula and Rangi did) and still have colored flames.

In short, it's not and shouldn't be possible for humans to produce the colored fire of the dragons because they're physically and spiritually different from the dragons. They can only produce the colored fire that their spiritual and physical being is able to, and they don't have to be balanced (spiritually) to do that. Due to this, the sudden modification of atla's fictional world to uplift the character of Zuko doesn't make any local sense when put into atla's world working and logistics.

This is Jazzdragon 5, another of the early "dancer" designs. I was trying out some weird pose ideas by this point, and wanted to use forced-perspective on the wings especially. Composition was also an especially strong point for this exercise, with a lot of active diagonal elements and curved lines.

I tried something different for the background fill, too: wax paper and watercolor. I laid down a watercolor wash, then set crumpled wax paper and a book on top. I gave it a couple of days to dry, and wound up with the interesting patterns you see here. I enhanced them with Prismacolors. The dragon is also colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Rumors has it that Mai is just as persistent as Chun-Li when it comes to pursuing Ryu.

“And I thought Chun-Li was bad in her pursuit.” Ryu commented dryly.
