Nov 10 update: vid on the final result is out on my channel, along with replying to comments from this vid! Oct 9 update: I’ve passed the first phase! It’s time for some interviews before the final decision Thank you all for the response on this video, I enjoy reading all the comments about ATLA, these characters, and the support as well. See ya soon! To answer some common questions: - What app do you use to draw? In this vid, I use Photoshop to draw, Clip Studio Paint to color - What is the artbook near the end? Sophie Li/mmcoconut's life drawing book, I believe you can buy a digital version on gumroad - How did you find out about the opening? I found it in Asians in Animation's Discord where members share job postings. It also got posted to Nickelodean's instagram & Linkedin

No matter what the results are or what feedback you get from the studio, you should be SO proud of the work you've done. The character designs are so gorgeous and the lineup + expressions are super compelling -- I wanna know more about each of their backgrounds! Great portfolio and great work in the video!!

Keep applying. Animation studios will hire new talent because of budget and because they need workers. On top of that, quality animators will leave or be laid off due to budget constraints. Nickelodeon wants cheap labor. And often when animators become top tier, want to be paid more for their work, studios won’t hire them back.

That's a deep cut nugget drop right there: "skills are there to ensure that anything you make is fundamentally sound, the skills themselves are not the art". Damnnnn, that's something everyone pursuing the arts needs to hear and might only realise part way through their academic career.

As someone who has never created a portfolio (tried but failed) this video came at a great time!

I'm 16 and haven't scratched the surface of character design, despite wanting to do it for a job after college. This really inspired me to start out with a world I'm familiar with (like avatar, or she-ra, or kipo, or nimona) and work from there! It really takes the pressure off of needing to figure out a brand new character's world on top of everything else. So thank you ^-^

​@@luzdoesart I'm slightly lost as well... A couple colleges that are nearish to me offer illustration, design, animation, or art history, but they're difficult to find at a good quality (at least for me). I think most colleges that aren't art-oriented tend to just offer design *classes* but not offer it as a possible major, instead offering Art history, or Illustration, and sometimes animation. I recommend to all those struggling to find this kind of thing is to call art departments of the colleges you're looking at and ask about what classes they offer for different majors, and if you're on scholarship or want to be, make sure those classes are covered (especially if you end up going for illustration, as an example, but want to take a character design class. It kind of depends whether or not "extra" classes are covered, even if to *you* it makes sense as being part of your major or minor. And remember it's possible to negotiate, even if on paper it says it isn't covered!) Some colleges list the classes they offer under the majors or on a different page, but I still recommend calling and asking, as it's entirely possible they have others, or aren't doing some of the ones listed anymore, etc, and it'd be a shame to major in something thinking they'll teach you something they don't offer anymore. This is kind of long BUT ask who teaches what. Get full names and look them up on RateMyProfessor. Art classes and colleges sometimes have staff that suck the creativity and love of art out of the students, so make sure they're good teachers as well as teaching what you want to learn. If someone teaches in a very lecture-y way and you're more hands on, take note. Hope this helps somewhat? ^-^

I found out about this on September 14th and didn't know the deadline was the 21st. 😭 I was busy preparing to travel for a funeral and flat out missed it. On the bright side I started a funny animation that I can't wait to finish when I come back. Good luck to everyone who applied! Even if you don't get in it's still a learning experience and fresh designs for your portfolio!

I really love the Orochimaru vibes for the water tribe student

I love how much personality you put into these characters. Especially how with a rocky start to the fire duo, it ended up so wholesome! Amazing job

This sounds like something you need to hear. so this is a quote from one of my favorite anime's, Assassination Classroom. "Sure, you stand on the shoulders of giants, but the hold point is to see farther than they did. You have to think for yourself make your own discoveries." Which basically means we must learn from those that come before us and inprove it. stop beating yourself up.

Oh I love the Earth Kingdom teacher and student! The little shy bean she's so cute! Also, the poses you did with the both of them are great, I really loved the tender moments between the teachers and students for Earth and Fire.

Gah what a lovely portfolio!! The charas all have such a fun vibe I'd die to see them in motion!! Wishing you the best of luck!!

Love the overworked character for fire nation and the creative use of firebending. The earthbenders personalities made me think of very different ways they'd use it, the teacher with tons of wide swings and mountain moving attacks and the student using the earth to propel herself around and becoming the earth version of twinkle toes

As a art student myself, ur experience, especially on technical skills not being the most important factor, in character design is relatable! I think especially on stuff like briefs and stuff that isnt personal work theres a sense of disinterest and we usually rely on things like skill to push bare minimum art work out - but you just showing that process of picking urself back up and willing urself to do better really show that creative work ethic, especially what avatar is looking for! You seem really keen and i really do hope you get the position you wish!

First of all, very brave of you to make a video about this! The video is very helpful, not just for people wanting to work in the industry! Every time I watch one of your videos I feel the need to draw and become really inspired. Thanks for the amazing video and have a nice day

Just to preface: This is NOT a critique! Your work here is absolutely stellar! Just a couple genuine questions about your thought process. :) When walking through your reasoning for each teacher/student pair from each nation, I noticed that you were aiming to subvert what you understood to be the typical cultural vibes of that respective nation. I really like that idea! However, why, when making a portfolio for a studio with established writing and worldbuilding/lore, would you opt to subvert those established viewer expectations rather than demonstrate that you know exactly how to fit seamlessly into what worldbuilding they have established (i.e. demonstrating "I can do this job exactly as needed")? Again, I really like the idea, and I'm not criticizing it at all. I'm more just curious as to the reasoning from a "what can I learn from this" stance since I was finding myself thinking stuff like "If I was applying for this, I would be aiming to make it as clear as possible that I know what makes Avatar specifically/uniquely Avatar, and I feel like subverting the expectations of the universe could potentially confuse the issue as to whether or not I understand everything as clearly as possible if the person reviewing portfolios didn't manage to catch on that I was trying to do the opposite of what's culturally expected" while I was watching. Again, genuinely curious. I don't think you did anything wrong. :) Just wanting to see how someone else who thinks and approaches things differently than me operates!

@qrbitsart

7 ай бұрын

Great question! I think it's because subverting expectation creates appeal, and it's kind of what makes ATLA characters amazing For example, Iroh is an ex Fire Nation general + crown prince. You would expect him to be an intense, scary, nationalist guy, but he's one of the most relaxed and peaceful characters in the show. Sokka had misogynistic tendencies from growing up in such a traditional environment and watching his worldview get challenged, prompting him to grow and change was a major part of his story. These contrasts make them interesting and likable characters I think what makes Avatar special is that the characters are able to grow and change despite their own prejudices/the system they grew up in, so that's why I like making characters that have the potential of doing that!

@The-Garden-Library

I really like this comment but i would also think its better to add those subversions to what the characters are thought to be, since if you are entering a studio where people already can do those typical characters you also want to show that you can bring something new to the table!

@@qrbitsart Good answer! Expectations are their environment, and they are *characters* because they are subverting it. When I started watching this video and you set your goals, I was horrified how hard it would be to keep balance with it. But it seems like you nailed it! Keep up the hard work, we believe in you! I have another question. Have you ever worked in a team? I never considered soft skills that you need for designing profession. Your video shows good articulation and clear conveying of your thought process (scripted or not) and I hope you get what you desire.

@@qrbitsart Thanks for your answer! :) So what I'm understanding from that response is that you don't think that subverting each nation's cultural expectations is actually contrary to Avatar Studios' established worldbuilding/writing, but rather goes right along with it since, as in your examples, some of the primary characters are already subversions of their environment/culture in the show (another example could even be the contrast created by Aang and his teacher being so goofy amidst a culture of very spiritually serious monks). So you ended up doing the same thing in your own portfolio designs. That makes good sense! :) Thanks again!

My life is definitely divided into a "birth to Time Before I Watched Avatar' and 'Time After I Watched Avatar to Present Day'" that's how memorable this show is

I’m in love with the characters you’ve created! They came to life so quickly, I’m praying you get the part your work is amazing!!

After seeing so much of the art people have submitted for this application I do not have high hopes for my own submission, but I'm so happy that it's allowed me to see everyone's process! I've seen so many cool entries and I'm definitely taking notes from other peoples' applications to improve my own portfolio in the future!!

all the students interacting is so nice ahhh. i love all of them and wanna see them in action fr. id love watching the time between the war and korra, and th,e conference sounds like it’d be an interesting setting

I loved watching the characters come to life so much. They’re all amazing. And the banner of the students interacting at the end was sooooo awesome!!!!

you hit all the marks so well, Lexin!! I love how much personality and story you can gather from just a glance at these characters. Always hyped to see your work

This is such a helpful example for making character portfolios 😭 omg thank you Lexin!! I hope you get the role!! Best of luck ✨

Congratulations on passing the first phase, and I hope you're feeling accomplished and proud because everything you did was so impressive. I learned so much about what goes into character designing because of you , thank you so much for that. Your character designs are full of so much personality and life and I am just in love with them honestly !

Good luck! I love how you make the cloth and sleeves ripple with character movement, but you can still feel the volume under it!

I can't wait to hear more about your journey! You came up with something rather beautiful here

I LOVE THESE SO MUCH!!! You put so much effort and thought into it, the Earth Nation dynamic is so cute, water one is so serious and cool, air one is so so funny and the fire one is comforting as hell hehehe))) Will be rooting for this studio to take you in! Good luuuck😭💕💕

dude you are crasy impressive. i've been in such a creative slump for a while now from a whole range of stressors but watching your videos remind me why i'm going through all this in the first place. i aspire to have your understanding of where i need to improve and knowing when i should stop to just refocus my efforts on something more productive. i can't even imagine applying to something as important as atla... i get stressed just thinking about it! major props to you and i am so so glad i stumbled upon your channel

these character designs are so cute and so lively! I found myself absorbing lots of helpful tips while enjoying watching you draw :D good luck on getting the job!!

This is amazing! I really enjoy watching this type of video where an artist shows their process on the creation of character design for animation. Ur idea for the firebender duo is so cool and innovative to the Avatar universe. Also, I really enjoyed how u played with the colours on these designs.

Thank you for the video. I found this very useful since I'm also into character design these days. I love how you plan out your portfolio, the designing process, and of course your characters. Look forward to your other video

Fantastic work! Love hearing your thought process as you worked through everything!

Your channel is so inspiring to me as a teenager who does art, it gives me hope in times where art and animation seem to be waring out as an industry and showcases the talent and joy that art brings out to the individual. Continue inspiring 💙

IM SO PROUD OF YOU I HOPE YOU GET ACCEPTED. YOU ARE AMAZING. MY INSPIRATION

Beautiful work and creative designs. Can see these figures appearing in the Avatar universe. Love how real and authentic you are as an artist describing the process! Best of luck.

This is so interesting to watch. I love your optimism and your commentary is very informative. It’s like you’re the teacher and we’re the student! Best of luck, I’m really rooting for you!

The storyline I immediately imagined for the earth bending duo based on the drawing is CRAZY overall your drawings are gorgeous you should feel so proud 😭😭❤I hope your drawings get animated these dynamics are so inspiring 🤌🏽🤌🏽

I love love love the Teacher and his shy student SO MUCH! It's my most favorite character trope, especially between a fatherly character and a girl-coded character ♥ You are so inspirational. I kind of stopped drawing a lot, because the art I made required too much time and I couldn't deal with the stress of commissions and getting things done in time due to my anxiety disorder and my C-PTSD paired with my newly discovered-(but always there) ADHD for which I had to learn how to adapt to if I want to be a functioning member of society. And yeah I grew up wishing to be an animator. However, I learned the hard way that I can't be one due to my bad stress response, my forgetfulness of my ADHD, and my autistic behaviors being in the way of doing group-oriented projects. The only thing I have left is character design but from what I've seen this kind of job is HIGHLY contested and anyone would and will apply for it I still struggle to draw bodies THAT quickly to just rotate them and show every angle. Ty for kindling my fire to at least try again ♥ It's hard to do when you drop out of university for design because of bullying from both peers and teachers. Teachers are supposed to help you and be available for questions and idk. My neurodivergence makes me look very unfavorable and even disruptive.

You are so creative and your linework is amazing! One of the most important things in sketching is making sense of a sketch with the fewer lines and you are AMAZING in that! I really wish you a good luck! You so deserve the spot!

love your character relationship discoveries! of course, everything in this is absolutely brilliant, but that exploration and discovery and storytelling between characters was just beautiful. Congrats on passing the first phase!!

I hope someone from the studio sees your video and appreciates your hard work, good luck to you

I only discovered the Avatar Universe pretty late as a teen but ever since then I've been hooked on the lore, characters, stories and everything else related. Seeing Avatar Studios being reignited for many future projects makes me and I'm sure a lot of other people smile as well so I'm happy to see many more talented artists, like yourself, are putting their bids in the hat. Good luck for the applications! Keep us updated with videos on the process!

I really love these character designs especially the final products for the earth and fire benders. I would love to see more of these characters. You did an absolutely phenomenal job and I learned a lot watching this as well 😊

This. Thank you so much. I’m very much stuck in this phase and it is so incredible to see this process unfold successfully. Genuinely thank you so much. Also just love the content :)

Beautiful video, thank you for sharing your progress!

I love character design, I go crazy when I start drawing their different shapes, races, fashion, time, and all that stuff. It's just awesome.

Love love love the character dynamics and personalities!! gorgeous portfolio!!!!

I've gotten into character design recently, and I love seeing how people go about making designs, expression sheets, etc. So this was really fun to watch :)

wow at 14:02 that sketch of the 2 fire benders putting on makeup together was beautiful! It totally felt like a cut but unique scene in ATLA! Literally had to go back to it after the vid ended lol

As an author, your own character drew themselves sometimes, when you already have plans for your character but the more you write and progress you realize that the character decided its future even tho you're the one who manipulate them. It's such a great feeling, really😊❤

I adore this video! The fire nation character sheet especially stood out to me and feel this video provides the context for your design process that your portfolio itself may not have been able to express non-verbally.

Really inspiring watching your process go from a job description to evolving into a portfolio :D

Well overall the character design is beautiful and I think your art style is so amazing honestly this looks like it was made by a whole professional design team whoever I did see one mistake one of your characters (fire bender) was overweight this makes the character extremely ugly I don’t think many people would enjoy seeing that on their screen especially as a main character perhaps just as a side comedic gag? Besides that I see no faults hope my suggestion helps love the vid ❤️❤️❤️

love these ideas. I think the art here is soo good but really thought the ideas were somewhat lacking except the earth benders. The pit I feel like western american media falls into over and over is thinking people's race or identity is their character. like here the androgynous water bender. Androgynous isn't really a character. it's just a tiny part of who they are. Korra fell into this pit too with her an Asami "kind of sort of being together but couldn't show it on screen". A characters identity shouldn't be the main plot point or characteristic unless the show is centring around their identity but with fantasy genre thats a pretty weak plot trope. Take Canadian media like David Rose on Schitts creek. He is bi but the show never makes his character about being bi. it's just his sexuality not the major plot or characteristics of him.

Thank you so much for this video ^^ You gave me an idea how I could work on my own comic and how to create a portfolio for it. Due to the lack of "me applying for a job" I never got the idea when I saw a "portfolio tutorial".

This inspired me to make my oc’s more in-depth and not just characters I whipped up out of my imagination it made me want to actually try to make a character I could really imagine in a series together thank you :)
