TD x ATLA - Vol. 3: Jacques and Josee AKA The Ice Dancers 💧🔥⛸️

Process down below!!

And we OFFICIALLY kick off Vol. 3, ladies and gentlemen! Sorry it took so long to get another artwork from this crossover AU. Since people liked it so much and I actually came up with new ideas for it, I’m starting to make new ones, beginning with one I’ve been wanting to make for so long. Some of my favorite TD villains, besides Heather and Alejandro: From Ridonculous Race: Josee and Jacques, the Ice Dancers!

Hailing from Quebec, both Josee and Jacques aim for greatness all the time. As professional figure skaters, the duo excel at every competition by combining swift and elegant movements with their bending styles. As a Firebender, Josee expertly uses flames during twirls and spins that shine as brightly as the sun. And as a Waterbender, Jacques moves streams around while he skates and performs, making the water dance with him, additionally, he can create ice crystals with it to end the show with grace and class. Their combines movements exceed expectations, making their performance a one-of-a-kind ice dance of fire and water.

The only place they haven’t gotten gold, much to their dismay, is the Olympics.😅

Coming into this version of RR though, they aim to bring the same passion, confidence, and bending skills into every inch of the race, wanting to win not only for the million dollars, but also for their fans and for themselves. And they aim to win… by any means necessary, even if each have to use their bending to get their hands dirty with anyone on their way. 😈😈

And that’s their story!

Oh man! It feels good to make another artwork and to write a new story for these! Unlike some of my previous TD x ATLA artworks, this one is horizontal, making the duo aspect of Josee and Jacques stand out a lot more if you ask me. Plus, I loved playing with the background. It’s a combo between red and blue to allude to their bending (Fire and Water) and there’s a yellow emblem on the center to make it look like an RR Chill Zone, but with a snowflake in the middle to make it unique for the Ice Dancers. There’s also a victorian styled pattern and… IT’S SNOWING! Isn’t it amazing?

Now, on to Jacques and Josee themselves:

- Josee’s outfit is my take on what a Fire Nation figure skating costume would look like, complete with belt, gold threads, puffy neck, and stylish gloves. Her original colors aren’t lost though! Purple and pink are still present in areas like her gloves, her skirt, and her armor! Not only that, the costume has snowflake and ribbon patterns and crystals! And the coup de grâce? Her lucky rabbit’s foot (Bun-bun) is an accessory directly added TO the costume! Meaning that she ain’t losing it this time😂😅

- Jacques’s outfit follows a similar idea: It is very much in-style for how a Water Tribe outfit would look like in Avatar and Legend of Korra but more adapted for figure skating. Much like Josee, his outfit as snowflake patterns, only his are mostly on the sleeves, gauntlets and undershirt. The fit also has ribbon patterns and sparkly crystals! And of course can’t forget a puffy hood, leather belt, and pink and purple threads.

Rendering this piece was fun, but also pretty hard lmao😂😂 Making the lighting and shading work for both of them, more considering Josee’s bending fire in the piece meant that I had to take the process carefully and considering everything into account. However, the end result is still magnifique👌🏻On this post, I’m putting all the stages that this artwork went through and even throwing in a small comparison with how they look in RR itself compared to their ATLA crossover AU designs.

Let me know what you think of them! I absolutely loved making them! Also, again, this artwork kicks off Vol. 3, so stay tuned for more!

Happy father’s day!

so I saw this on tiktok...

I was immediately skeptical, since there's been no actual news about it and it doesn't seem like anyone on mbavlr has caught wind and you guys are my #1 source on everything mbav related lol. if it's a fan series that's great and I'm super excited for it! but there's like no other info I can find aside from this post and this account. Another reason I don't think it's official is the username says "mbav," and if you don't know, the cast and crew and everyone behind the original show pretty much always abbreviated it as MBV. mbav is a fandom thing created to avoid confusion with my bloody valentine in online spaces.

also, i saw people in the comments saying "why are they rebooting it when they filmed the whole third season" which i KNOW is not true, and other people saying there's a leaked script for season 3 out there, which I'd never heard of before, but I have heard of alleged concepts for s3 floating around online but nothing that was ever confirmed to be real.
