Appa is a flying bison - a spirit animal guide of the air nomads from Avatar the Last Airbender. He is honest, loyal, and caring, thus making him my favorite character. The imaginary worlds influenced by various Asian cultures are where the series took place. As a Taiwanese, practicing traditional mandarin calligraphy is part of learning the language, and I applied that skill to the background of this ancient spiritual creature. I depicted the project in neutral brown tones resembling the appearance of aged paper, painted in Photoshop.
