Comic Book Saturday
This was a Chibi comic (a specific look to the art, very rounded, short, and a child-like look to the characters). Aang wakes up, and is informed, a lot of times, by Sokka's notes not to go out of the house, but he does anyway, but then all his friends seem to be mad at him. It's such a cute book, even with the slightly obvious ending.
The whole unfreezing day thing is a really cool solution to not knowing your own birthday, and, then… the poor cabbage man. This was such a fun read. I hope that they do more Chibi comics in this universe for sure!

culture tips for writing asian settings: calligraphy (pt ii)
in my last post i talked about calligraphy more generally, but here i want to talk about the calligraphy from atla. all of the calligraphy from the show is written by dr siu-leung lee and i'll be using the artbook as my reference.
if you're a writer or artist approaching written chinese, you can think about how script and handwriting might tell us something about a character. dr lee certainly did, and he even tailored writing styles to who he thought might've been writing that text: "If it were a highly cultured royal attendant, he would use a refined, elegant style, but if it were a low-level clerk, he would use a more pedestrian handwriting style."
first thing: modern standard chinese coming out of mainland china uses simplified chinese. this system was developed in the mid-20th century, so it's pretty anachronistic to use this for atla. instead, you should be using traditional chinese as dr lee does (which is still used in hong kong, taiwan, and many diasporic communities). i usually use google translate to switch between the systems.
note the use of simplified 门 (door) instead of the traditional 門 from the aang's unfreezing day comic.
next i'm going to take aang's wanted poster as an example of three different chinese scripts we see in the show. the "title" is in clerical script, the body of the text is in regular script, and the seal is in seal script.
regular script is the standard way you'd learn how to write chinese nowadays. you can see (as i mentioned in part i) how the text is meant to be read up -> down, then right -> left.
clerical script is characterised by fairly compact shapes and a kind of "roundness", and was developed in the late warring states period. this is the script used for the chinese title of the show! in the context of atla, it implies to me that the writer has more specialised calligraphic training than the average person (who, if they can write, would be using regular script). you can compare the difference in styles for the same words between clerical (L) and regular (R):
seal script is the most archaic form of chinese on display; this one wouldn't have been written by the calligrapher, but carved into a seal by a craftsperson and then stamped onto the page.
what's also really interesting is dr lee implies a difference in script between the nations. some of the characters used to write water tribe-related concepts:
this is an adapted form of oracle bone script, the one of the earliest forms of chinese writing. this fascinated me because this script was—as the name suggests—written on bone, and perhaps reflects something about the material of what the water tribes were using to write. (you can input modern characters into this website to see examples of their older forms.)
finally, some cool differences in handwriting! this is from the fire day festival poster:
this uses regular script, but in contrast to the excerpt we saw before, the formation of the characters is more haphazard (excitable?). it's also written left -> right! this suggests to us the writer is a commoner, as opposed to a royal scribe.
these are some things you can keep in mind when you're writing or drawing in this universe—while you're probably writing in english, the characters would be steeped in the writing systems we've been talking about. if a character's sending a letter, what might the recipient notice about the handwriting? what does it tell them about their social status or education? could the shape of the letters signal something about where they come from, i.e. water tribe characters write a more curvy script?

Are you ready for this? I am BACK on Tumblr!
I missed some of the old school blogging and with the recent Tumblr update, I thought “why not?” From the looks of it, the last time I posted was announcing my early reader Avatar comic which was... a while ago. So I’m here to do a brief introduction and update!
HELLO! I’m Kelly Leigh Miller, author and Illustrator of many different picture books, which I have posted below, and the author of the recent early reader Avatar comic, Aang’s Unfreezing Day (coming out next year!) I Love My Magic is my most recently announced picture book. It comes out summer 2023!
I usually write AND illustrate my books, except for Avatar and Chicago, Baby. For Chicago, Baby, I was just the illustrator and Feather Flores was the author. For Aang’s Unfreezing Day, I was just the author and @pockicchi is the illustrator! Both are amazing people! You should check them out!
I’m located in Chicago, IL currently, but I grew up in Louisville, KY. I’m an avid sketchbook keeper and have a Patreon where I post some of my recent sketchbook posts every month. I’ll be honest, it’s mostly a lot of fanart since that’s what usually lives in my sketchbook. I treat my sketchbook as my fun and experimental space. I’m not one of those with an aesthetically beautiful sketchbook, but that’s just mostly because of the type of sketchbook keeper I am. I also occasionally make comics!
I love reading and video games! Current games I’ve been hooked on are Genshin Impact and Golden Sun, which I’m playing on my old Gameboy Advance! Yes, no backlight. I use the curly plug in light for it. Brings back good memories since Golden Sun was one of my favorite games growing up!! My favorite game categories are RPG and visual novels.
That’s it for now! I’ll probably post more of my work later. <3
