Hello, everyone! I wish I had some time to draw something new for the blog, but I’ve been buried in all sorts of work. So in an effort to post something related to the Book 1 finale this Saturday, here is the rough concept for the press art I posted last week. It might be interesting to those of you who like to see this sort of process work. I have some more specifics on our San Diego Comic Con activities to share: WHAT:  The Legend of Korra Comic-Con PanelWHEN: Friday, July 13 from 11:15a – 12:15pWHERE: Ballroom 20WHO:  Co-creators and executive producers Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Joaquim Dos Santos (co-executive producer), Janet Varney (Korra), David Faustino (Mako), P.J. Byrne (Bolin), Seychelle Gabriel (Asami) and Andrea Romano (voice director).  The panel will include an in-depth discussion of Book 1 and a live performance by the voice actors.WHAT:  The Legend of Korra Comic-Con Signing WHEN: Friday, July 13 beginning at 2:30 p.m.WHERE: Nickelodeon booth I’ve been told that Ballroom 20 holds 4300 people, so just get 4300 people to hold your places in the Game of Thrones line for Hall H, and pop over to Ballroom 20 for a spell. Among other things, Andrea is going to lead the actors in a live table read of some key scenes from Book 1. We’ve never done that sort of thing at a panel, so it should be really fun. ***Remember: The actors are not the characters, so be nice to David. He isn’t Mako. He just plays one on TV. Which reminds me, I caught wind that there was a brutal war in the fandom this week. In lieu of me having time, let’s all just pretend I drew a really funny comic about that and posted it just now. And we laughed. And it brought us joy. And the fandom hugged it out.

Comic Con, here we come!

michaeldantedimartino:

We’re going to have a great panel this year!  Me, Bryan, and Joaquim will be there, along with voice director Andrea Romano, and the voice actors who play Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Asami.  We have a really big room this year, the biggest we’ve ever had!  The panel will be on Friday, July 13th, and we will also be doing a signing later that day.  Hope you see you there.

Yes! We’re always excited for Comic Con, but this year will be especially fun right on the heels of the Book 1 finale and with a bigger room to boot (not the coveted “Hall H,” but still big). Thanks to Brandon Hoang for his successful campaign on upgrading the space! We are always bummed to hear that people get turned away at the panels, so it will be nice to include so many more.

As Mike mentioned, we will have a signing (Joaquim cooked up something really cool for that) on Friday in addition to the panel, and I think we are going to have another signing on Saturday, probably in the afternoon. I’ll post details on that once they are confirmed.

Looking forward to seeing a horde of you nice people and some stellar costumes! WOO HOO!

An oldie, but goodie… We made this silly little video for the Avatar panel at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con. It occurred to me that the only versions out there on YouTube were videotaped from the crowd, so I thought I’d post a clean version here (if one can refer to this as “clean”).

Now, I don’t want to cast aspersions or hurt any feelings, but for some of you I feel the need to explain that this is all a joke.

joke |jōk|
noun

a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, esp. a story with a funny punchline: she was in a mood to tell jokes.
• a trick played on someone for fun.

Who’s going to San Diego Comic Con this year? It is coming up fast. We’re cooking up a really cool panel that, while not a unique format, is different from anything we’ve offered in the past. Looking forward to seeing you there!
