All Grown Up

Description

I drew this sketch right after finishing the original series, but before seeing anything from The Legend of Korra.

...as thrilled as I was to see the kids all grown up in Korra, 2 minutes of 40+ year old Avatar Aang was not sufficient to acclimatize me to his new voice and facial hair.

your interpretation looks so much more like Aang to me than the Korra version. I guess part of the issue is that the Legend of Korra visual style is just different than the original Last Airbender series: the teens look like twenty-somethings and the adults are kind of ugly (wth is up with Tenzin, for instance? he doesn't even look anything like either Aang or Katara!), with lots of lines drawn into their facial features that make them look older/somewhat wrinkled even though they're presumably in their 30's and 40's. Aang's voice in LoK also sounds foreign to me because he no longer has the lisp (well maybe it's not exactly a lisp but original kid-Aang definitely had a distinctive speech pattern that the voice actor for the adult LoK Aang lacks). 

in any case, I love your drawing style and can definitely recognize the Aang I know and love in your adult version of the character :)
