(Editing this to make a new journal entry)

Another article has even more background story, revealing more of the world:

Repeating the SDCC info, just in case.

Also, first 6 people to stop by the Flight table in How To Train Your Dragon cosplay will get a surprise!

At the Flight table #2235
:icongoraina: with her awesome graphic novel "Smile"
:iconktshy: has a story in the new Flight volume and she'll be there for the first time. Come and say hello to her and her brother, make it an experience they won't forget. Make them want to come back!
Also present: Jake Parker (Missile Mouse), Kazu Kibuishi (Amulet), Joey Weiser (Cavemen in Space), Michel Gagné (Sage of Rex- Please note he won't be there all weekend!), Phil Craven (frequent Flight contributor and head of story on Kung Fu Panda 2) and a few more surprises.

:iconyaytime: will be in the small press area, at table L-06. Go say hello, give him kudos for his great work for the Zuko Prequel story.
:iconspacecoyote:, the illustrator from the Zuko prequel should be hanging around the Bongo comics booth or even the Del Rey booth. Check out the signing schedule for both and look for Nina Matsumoto's name.

:iconraisegrate: does great books for young readers. Visit him at 2304

The awesome :iconbpresing: will be at 4800. Get his awesome Rex Steele, Nazi smasher book! Or his awesome sketch books! Or...aw heck, too many goodies at his table.

The 4th dimension Entertainment table will have a powerhouse of 3 incredible artists:
:iconvert-is-ninja:, :icontracyjb: and :iconalexds1:, at table 2203.

:iconcheeks-74: will be hanging out at 2544. New Cheeks sketchbook!

I know :iconalohalilo: will be there part of the weekend, but I don't know about his table space. Check this journal again, I will edit the moment I find out more.

There will also be book signings for the "Avatar, The Last Airbender Art book of the animated series". The only time I have in advance is for the Nick booth (4113):
Friday the 23rd, from 1pm to 3pm. Mike DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, :iconjoaquimdossantos: and :iconblacksataguni:

Don't know who :iconblacksataguni: is? Go visit his gallery right now and bow to his awesome talent!!!
  

There may be more signings at the Dark Horse booth, but I don't have a schedule for that.

:iconbobbyrubio:, another ex-Avatar artist will be at 1943. If you have your art of book with you, might as well get as many signatures as you can!


The only panel I really REALLY want to see is the presentation for the Walking Dead tv series. I'm a total zombie wimp, but I love the book. Just afraid I will have to wait hours just to get in the room.

Full list of exhibitor plus full floor plan here (so you can find your own favorite artists):

Almost done with the lenghty journal!

Did you know I sometimes drop exclusive drawings in the :iconnoselfcontrol: group?
Yes, I be sneaky.


The Last Airbender movie.
As I've replied to a few people, I will let my doodle speak for themselves.
I do believe though some creative audience out there could turn this movie into the next Rocky Horror Picture show, with song and dance and props. :D

DAMNIIIIITTTTTTTTT >:O GAWD WHY?! I'm so freaking happy that they're making a new show, but it's done a number of things to make me incredibly angry.
1. They did this before I had a chance to start my fan fiction.
2. They stole the name for my main character, who was the avatar! (Like, omfg, what are the chances?)
3. They stole my idea for a female avatar.
4. She's from the southern water tribe... LIKE MY CHARACTER.
5. They stole the fact that Aang has a son.

O.o DO YOU SEE THAT!? It's like they've been reading my mind for the last 4 months! I've been thinking this up FOREVER...

In other news, I just discovered you one here- and *Devwatches, favs, spam comments, etc.*

Wait if it's only the last 4 months, wouldn't that mean YOU'VE been reading THEIR minds? Quick! Tell us all the juicy details!

Mehehe, you know my secret now! :O I'm a psychic who reads the minds of big time T.V. show writers! I know all the secrets, but they might get mad if I gave away all the secrets so I'll keep my mouth shut for now. :D

That is pretty sweet, i know you are usually on top of the avatar info, do you know if they are full cased i mean who is going to voice aang's son

:iconrufftoon:
I don't have a lot of details really, apart from what's been officially announced.
As for the voices, I bet they've done some casting tests for the characters (or are doing them soon).

I don't know... This time we got a girl avatar (looks manly to me.. But let's just assume she is a tomb boy) from the water tribe! 70 years after the first avatar? Now she is learning air bending from Tenzin Aang's son (Did i misread?). 70 years. Tenzin must be around 20 or more by that time. And the original main characters like zuko, aang and katara must be.. well, gone unless they are to living up to around 90. And this time she had already learnt all 3 and is now persuing air element? Wow.. She dont start from just one element this time like aang. It's a Jump Start, like... nothing more to tell about searching masters and learning new element. I wonder what the director had in store this time.

Though I like the old scenery better, this newer one is just smoky and metallic all the way (of course, I know this isnt the only place in that cartoon). IT's like everything is under the Fire Nation control. I wonder how's Firelord Zuko doing.... =P
