I Have An Unhealthy Addiction To Dads

Watch this :

FINALLY, Sky's design!!

I'm saying finally because I've had like... five versions of him, plus his hair refused to collaborate with the arrow and I was seriously considering making him bald. But it all worked out in the end, so no bald Sky, sorry guys (but I guess he was bald for some time after getting tattoos)

As usual, stuff:

His native element is Air

I really like how airbenders' tattoo design changes throughout history, so I decided to play with it as well. This one is based off Raava

In some of the first sketches I went off of one of Aang's outfits, but he looked a little too modern for a guy in the beginning of the timeline, so I tried going with a different Aang's design mixed with the clothing worn by airbenders of Wan's era

I tried to combine his colors with the classic red-yellow-orange palette for air nomads, also tried to through in some purple (well, violet) in the beginning but it looked awful with his hair and skin, so I ditched it

The amount of stuff I've planned for him, First, and a certain someone in the past few days, ohhh.. Not sure when I'm gonna reveal it, but I'm excited

we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!

we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!

we are ALSO some of the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we can beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.

and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. in many cases, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. domestic mice live for 1-3 years, bowhead whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.
