I love Avatar so I had a lot of fun with this one 😆
An image of Aang’s fan club on Kyoshi Island. A group of villagers cheers at the sight of the avatar. A man in the front is so excited he is foaming at the mouth. A young girl on the right cheers and holds a stuffed Appa toy.

A pit stop of a fantastical race track that cuts through a thick jungle. A dragon like creature and multiple humans prepare for the next leg of the race. Blue liquid is carried around the pit stop through a series of tubes and large vats.

A humanoid dragon like character crashes a lavish party by throwing fireballs at guests! Guests hide under tables and flee the scene. A man falls dead, face first into his plate of mashed potatoes! His skin looks blue and pale. On his neck there is a bite mark visible. In a post post apocalyptic setting a woman sits on her rusted motorcycle. There is a hawk perched on her arm. A factory spews smoke in the distance. a woman with long brown hair stands with her arm outstretched for a giant crow to perch on her shoulder

Quote your portraits 💙
Portrait sketch of a mermaid under green tinted water A portrait study of a dark haired Asian man. A dark skinned elf man wearing plate armor. He looks down at you with a slight smile A dryad peers through thick leaves and pomegranates to look directly at the viewer. There are stars in the shadows on his form.

A humanoid dragon crashes a lavish party by throwing fireballs at guests! Guests hide under tables and flee the scene. A dwarf and a human party together in a drinking hall. The foreground dwarf is wearing a fine red shirt with jewels embedded in the fabric, the human is wearing a plain green shirt and leather apron. A dwarf in the background is throwing food while others celebrate. A shaman performs a ritual, summoning smoke to her hands in a dark misty forest. Spell components surround her. There is a mortar and pestle, a dead bird, flowers, a jar and a book. In a post post apocalyptic setting a woman sits on her rusted motorcycle. There is a hawk perched on her arm. A factory spews smoke in the distance.

If you see this, post ghost 👻
The ghost of Helm Hammerhand, a king of Rohan from Lord of the Rings. He is wearing gold and bronze armor. He is shouting and reaching out to grab you!
