Hey there. These are the next two pages from Chapters 5 and 6. If you've been following the WIP tier you'll notice some DRASTIC differences from where we started. To begin, I realized that the anatomy and perspective in the final panel were just straight-up wrong. So I redrew it. I then realized there were three problems in the first panel. The main problem with Toph's anatomy in the first panel was that I made her legs too skinny. It wasn't necessarily badly drawn, but it was inconsistent with how I had drawn the character to that point. When I fixed her legs I had to adjust her butt. When that was finished I noticed how it didn't align with the perspective, necessitating redrawing her torso and head. TBH, I liked the old torso and head in that first panel BUT it didn't fit and sometimes you have to "kill your babies."

Then in the second panel, I realized that Azula's face was misshapen and needed to be completely redrawn. I don't know why I sometimes forget everything I've learned, but it happens.

I would argue that these aren't polished/finished, but they are close enough for now. I'm going to save that polish for when my mind is fresh. Probably when I add the dialogue. I move to the next two pages on Monday. Thanks for your continued support
