Ty Lee- Giant Robot Style

You'd be smiling too, if you had a giant robot of awesome destruction!

As my inaugural scanned artwork (at least since I got to this funny country), I present to you: Ty Lee in a giant robot!

Alright, so from the moment I planned this, I had the idea of having Ty Lee's mech be the antithesis of Toph's- lighter, nimbler, and skinnier.

You guys might have noticed that I left quite a few of Ty Lee's 'things' in. Her ponytail has become a giant whip-like extension from the 'bot's back, with some kind of device at the end that aids in attacking the weak joints of enemy mechs. The ponytail also helps to balance the mech while it's doing fancy manuevers.

I also kept her collar and her upper garment thing, with the poofy armour on her upper arms being used to represent her wide sleeves. Note the wristbands, too . I figure since Ty Lee shows a fair amount of skin (mainly the midriff), I tried to make it look like that . I also did a giant robot version of her flower skirt thingy, and if you pay close attention to her feet, you'll notice I tried to make them look like her shoes .

What REALLY made me want to draw this was the thought of doing a mech with arms with multiple joints. It just seemed so Ty Lee considering how flexible she is (which reminds me- I should watch The Incredibles again).

Despite the fact that I put more time into this one than either of my past avatar-characters-in-giant-robots, I'm actually not too happy with the way this one turned out. I think it's partly because the worky bits didn't turn out as nicely as I had hoped, and I couldn't come up with anything particularly special to do with her fingers...
