Description
Power pair discussing the fate of Republic City and the world underneath a turbine. Haha. This is a supposed to be a spread from a Republic Lifestyle magazine feature.I posted the "magazine article" on Tumblr since you can upload photosets in there. Link: andiedraws.tumblr.com/post/109…
Romance aside, I wanted to focus this time on the fact that these two are highly-competent individuals in their own right, and how that plays into a good working relationship dynamic.

Well, Asami grew up around her father's inventions & thus is a mechanic herself. She's just doing some maintainence.

Korra's looking at Asami's work the same way I used to watch my father do work and try to show me mechanical stuff. That look of:
"I have absolutely no idea what any of this shit is, so I'm gonna watch you and look like I understand..."

Why am I not following you? This work is utterly fantastic and has that old time vibe that is reminiscent of the Spirit of St. Louis.

I imagine the text with this pic in the magazine would be "Avatar Korra (left) and Asami Sato working on an aircraft engine."

If you ignore what the fandom, and the writers, did to their characters, this piece is pretty great.

I love it, the detail of the engine, amazing. It's great Korra and Asami look like young girls, like they're actually 16-18. In the animation they look young, and as far as Korra looks like shes 19-20 when she's 16 in first season, Asami Looks 20-something when she's 17 or 18. I really like their young faces on this work, good job

No kidding.
One of them has political and financial power. The other has physical and spiritual one.

Very cool 
I love the details and the warm teaching dynamic in this piece.
What programs did you use and how long did it take you?
Also, now I want a "DO THE THING" mug, thanks. x)

Hello! Sorry for the very late reply! I wasn't checking my account for a long time! Anyway, I remember this taking me 2 weeks -- two entire weekends plus my afterwork hours on the weekdays. Mostly it was the planning/art direction/posing that took long and I had to redo some initial drawings I wasn't happy with before I proceeded to color and clean it up.

No problem!
I'm re watching Korra as we speak, ha ha.
All that planning was definitely worth it, it's great
What software did you use?

Just Photoshop and my Wacom tablet

You've done an incredible job on the details and the coloring. Everything stands out in its own way, but it all flows together seamlessly.

I can now recognize your artwork as soon as I see the thumbnail! This picture is excellent. I love the idea of Asami trying to teach Korra about electronics and machinery. For her sake Korra would try to pay attention but I don't know if she'd be able to follow it all.

Haha! Aww thank you for your words

Fun take. Really.
Although I don't know a single thing about motors, I imagine something like this.
Asami : So you see, this is part of the distribution cap. Somewhat similar to the one in my car engine except here, we have to compensate for the air intake considering the altitude. When it gets dirty, sometimes, cleaning it is not enough. You have to... are you understanding this?
Korra :.........................................................(bowing head somewhat) un-hunh. Sure.
When in fact, she doesn't understand diddly-squat and just likes hearing Asami's voice but nonotheless tries to seem interested with what her bae's explaining.

Hahaha! LOVEIT! XD
I did a rather cheeky outtake of this piece actually, if you haven't seen it: anday.deviantart.com/art/Power… XD

Just went to the link. Cute.
I was also cheking the color composition you did with the plane's motor (and only the motor). It looks like something out of the universe of Enki Bilal.
If you do not know him, Bilal is extremely well known in the sci-fi world and thus gained a worlwide reputation.
I don't like his stories (too gruesome, somewhat dark at times for my taste), but I cannot deny that the man has talent... especially when it comes to detailing motors and mechanics.
Again, nice job.

I love this one ! Perfect composition and colors. And I like that everyday work, how you describe their normal life as a couple.
(And perfect size for a beautiful wallpaper on my computer).

Aw thank you! I'm so touched when people wallpaper something of mine. I never really expect that, haha.

I know another possible reason why Korra and asami are the perfect couple and why they so perfectly complement each other.
Korra with her metal bending skills can help Asami to build new engines or machines.
In this way, Korra would perfected her metal bending skills and for Asami this would save time and costs for the construction and testing of new engines and machinery.
I can imagine that Korra would so well perfected her metal bending skills that she would have been able to build a functional engine only on the basis of the blueprint that Asami gave her.

The plane in the background with Future Industries written on the side is a Fairey Swordfish, isn't it?
Oh sorry, -Future Industries- Swordfish.
All joking aside, this is simply beautiful. The detail on the engine in the foreground is what amazes me!

Yes it is, yes it is!

Korra's not good enough for Asami, in my opinion. Great spread, though.
