Number two in my DANCE! series of Avatar fanart! Eventually I'm hoping to work my way through most of the cast...look in my gallery for number one, Sokka!
(When I was looking for reference photos of dancers, I ran across the one that ended up becoming this picture and pretty quickly thought, "Toph." And then started questioning the thought. It wasn't the sort of pose I'd expected to use for her--I'd been imagining something much more square and grounded. But I drew it anyway, because it just seemed to want to be drawn. And, whether it's the way her face is tilted towards the earth no matter what, or just something intangible, everyone I've shown it to so far just nods and agrees... "Yup. Toph.")
And what's she dancing to, you ask? Her own beat. <3
*nods* Yeah, I know the general image of Toph leans towards blocky powerhouse or tiny little girl, but I have never been able to get the image of her nightgown-battle with the wrestlers out of my head. Total grace and finesse, man. Almost liquid. XD
Absolutely! That was one of the best battles I've seen in Avatar. It's great to see that you did a piece where she's actually dancing seeing as how she was almost dancing when she bent in that fight anyway. Love it! ^_^
Quite! In fact, the martial arts in Avatar tread so close to the line between fighting and dancing sometimes that--well, it's a big reason why I'm doing this series of pictures in the first place. ^_^ (Sokka's already up in my gallery...Aang is next, I think!)
maybe its cuz with her eyes closed like that and the free movement of this pose is what makes it "Toph"
Toph doesn't have the sight of her eyes but that doesn't stop her from kicking butt and goin' on with life

This article is about best photo manipulation art done in November, picked by me. It doesn't necessarily mean it is really the best; but it rather reflects my personal taste in the subject. I recommend you take a look and tell me Your opinion.
My aim, It could open the way for many photo manipulators to get visits and watched as well.
Project Comment is a project that features the generally obscured and underappreciated artists and their art in regular news articles. Our objective is to recognise deviants who deserve more recognition and to feature deviations with less than 10 original comments.
The 0-5 Comments Issues feature a deviant as well as 3 deviations with less than 5 original comments from a wide selection of art. Please give your time to this article and to write constructive comments so that you make a true difference to the artists featured here.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
