[Hello there, Adstringendum, it's your friendly neighborhood tribesman showing his smiling face to the network. For those not in the know, this is actually a bit of an uncommon thing for Sokka recently, so hopefully his enthusiasm can make an impression all around.]

Things have been rough lately, so I've got a few positive announcements I want to make.

First of all, Juliet and I are planning to start a community art project, and we want everyone here to have an option to be involved, regardless of artistic talent. Spirits know, I'm not exactly a great artist, but I'll be submitting some stuff anyway.

So, what do you need to do? Send us your art, of course! We'd like to have a visual history of what sticks out for you and your time here in the city: Special events, important moments, anything you'd want to illustrate. If you can provide a date along with it, all the better. Juliet and I have supplies, so all you need to do is ask and we'll get those to you if you need them or want them. When we've got everything collected, we'll put it into a gallery and it'll be like a visual history of Adstringendum. Pretty neat, huh?

Here's an example I did the other day.

Second point of order? We're still looking for people to join the Adstring City Players. We've got quite a few people interested now, but the more the merrier. Additionally, we're looking for story ideas. What do you guys want to see? Is there a particular genre we should focus on? Or even ones we should avoid? The more feedback we have on this, the better.

Annnd... [Blinking as he refers to some paper off screen.] Oh, no. That's it. So, um, thanks for your time, guys.

[[OOC: Feel free to submit art here, or you can PM me with a link on this account. I can also provide resources (paper bases, links to online art programs, etc.) I realize some characters might be better artists than their muns, so you can cheat if you find something that could work, but please include a source link so it can be properly credited. Should we have enough submissions, I will totally find somewhere public to put them for posterity!]]

NO WAIT I GOT IT

AVATAR SOKKA

Avatar Partyhard with the beaver-dog flippers, eh? Now /that/sounds like fine art.

I'm going blind.

Don't make me do art for the sake of revenge, Mako. It will not be pretty. |B

BOOM. Finished.

WOW! Okay, you are my hero. I hate you because you're beautiful, but you're totally my hero.

P.S. I like Korra's boots.

P.P.S. Do you guys really stand around posed like that?

You're my hero too, no problem.

P.S. I have no idea if that looks like fur ... I hope so.

P.P.S. Bolin is directly from life.

Flawless.

P.S. Flawless.

P.P.S. Flawless.

I have no idea where to put it but I'm drawing a boomerang on this picture somewhere.

I thought you were joking about doing a drawing of me... Remind me to bring you some paper the next time I'm around. Ink too, if you want it.

That'd be great, I'm using the washed-out pages of some old books I found a while back and some pencils left by whoever lived here last. Kind of running low now.

What does your famous boomerang look like?? I know you had/have one, but ...

Uh, it's blue and white and pointy? I guess. Wider on one side.

Oh! There's two holes in the wide end.

Come to think of it, my skills of description are lacking. Sorry. Might want to ask Katara.

If it sucks, it's your fault.

Aren't you drawing anything besides your main piece?

I've been trying to do one for an hour. Just threw it out because the people looked like trees. Taking requests, though, if you really want to torture yourself with my art.

Draw me, fair trade. Yours is almost done.

BEHOLD ...

[Sokka has to switch the feed. Talk about speechless. For like... hours. And speechless is hard to achieve with this guy!]

That is-- Spirits, I've never-- [Stumble, stutter, you're killing him, bro.]

Mako, I-I think... I think I really do have to marry you now. You've officially made me the coolest Avatar ever!

[And a couples seconds later, what he's worked on in the meantime. This is hours of work, Mako. Hours and hours and lots and lots of very carefully placed strokes to make it look semi-human. He even stole some make up for the color, so... if you laugh, he's going to cry. XD ]

[ He's laughing on his end, pleased Sokka's happy. Oh, and then he receives a file, and there's only one thing he can say that beauty. ]

That is like LOOKING IN A MIRROR.

Hahahahaha, don't make fun!

[Because no one would actually say that about his art, right? It's bad. But he means well!]

NO, I REALLY LIKE IT. I do!

Okay, I believe you. You can have it if you want. Or I can put it up in the gallery.

In the gallery. I want to see it up where everyone else can give their opinion too.

This was a really great idea, Sokka. Well done.

Thanks, Mako. It wasn't just my idea, but having you guys so interested in participating is awesome. Thanks. Really.
