Korradecker

Recently I bought the J.C Leyendecker art book. Then shortly after that Bryan Konietzko made a Korra fan art contest post on his tumblr. Since I was so jazzed about the book, and since Korra is set in a world with a 1920's vibe, I thought it would be a fun idea to mix the famous illustrator of that time with the show. When I think of J.C Leyendecker's work, the first thing that comes up is his covers for The Saturday Evening post. So playing off of that just seemed like the obvious choice.

Searching through the Leyendecker book I tried to find my favorite painting of his which I could play around with. I had narrowed it down to this painting which inspired the whole thing. 24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqa...

Hopefully hardcore Leyendecker fans aren't too disgruntled about this first attempt at his style HAHAHAH.

Side note. I bought the Legend of Korra art book 2 days ago and it is super awesome. I really wish I could do background painting or colour keys for that show. I don't think I would sleep (⊙ヮ⊙)
