It's that time of the month again and here's another art-piece by the lovely Yinza, for my fusion AU fic between Oban Star-Racers/ATLA& LoK, songs of surrender. This one is an illustration from the first chapter, depicting this particular scene:

Molly is still on her feet, albeit barely. The way she's moving tells Rick that she's got a couple of bruised ribs, at the very least. Her head-guard is moving around, the strap weakened when she hit the water at a wrong angle. There's blood dripping out of her nose, where it collided with the loose headgear, in her face-first fall to the floor. But she's not giving up, raising her right hand, palm-side up and curling her fingers, in the classic "bring it!" motion.

I'm back with another lovely piece of fanart by the great Yinza! This is a sister-piece to this one right here, both from the upcoming chapter 3 of songs of surrender, my Oban Star-Racers / ATLA & LOK fusion AU. This one is meant to represent the duality of Don Wei in this fic -- Waterbending Master and innate Bloodbender from Yakone's genetic line, protector and murderer, famous businessman and member of a shadowy death-cult dedicated to a spirit of eternal darkness. Korra's last disciple/son and Canaletto's hunting wolf.

Here's another art-piece by the lovely and very talented Yinza, of a scene from songs of surrender, my Oban Star-Racers / Avatar The Last Airbender & Legend of Korra fusion-fic. This one is a moment from chapter 2 -- Aikka, Prince of the Northern Water Tribe, meditating in the Foggy Swamp. He's in the middle of a world tour, keen on studying as many Waterbending styles as possible, with a variety of masters. In this case, the tribesmen in the swamp. (Not in the image but very much present, is Canaan, his first teacher and mentor, who unlike Aikka's calm openness to learn, is complaining about the mud, the biting flies and the locals).

Aaaaah, here it is! An illustration from the upcoming chapter 3 (after I manage to edit and post both it and chapter 2) of songs of surrender, my Oban Star-Racers / ATLA & LOK fusion AU. This particular scene is a flashback sequence that takes place seventeen years before the main canon events and involves Don and his mentor, Avatar Korra, after they barely managed to survive a Red Lotus terror-attack. Korra is helping Don through his shock, so they can both start aiding the injured and those buried under the rubble. 

The art is by the lovely and very talented Yinza -- here are links to their Tumblr and Pillowfort accounts. Take a look at their Patreon as well, they do fantastic work. Here is their commissions page and I 100% recommend commissioning them if you need anything from your original characters illustrated all the way to seeing scenes from your fics come to life.

Summary       

A wild-eyed Firebender girl, on the run and desperate to be reunited with her father. A young Avatar-in-training, keen to meet his Waterbending teacher. A Prince of the Northern Water Tribes, traveling the world to learn from Masters with unique bending styles.

The three are headed for Republic City, in search of the same man: Don Wei, Waterbending Master, top pro-bending manager and the city's most ruthless businessman. None of them know the darkness that Don Wei must contend with, haunted by the loss of all he loves and caught in a morass of intrigue and vengeance. All while a horrible shadow looms, pleased with the unfolding of its grand design and ready to swallow the world whole.
