Korra looks so strong in this picture; but there is so much more I could and will say.
The flame just flows along perfectly and the reflection of it as well, the water is the exact same and perfect with the bubbles and twirls and swirls. This is just a plain lovely piece that no one can duplicate. Her outfit is just right and it's awesome.

Please, continue with your artwork.
I love the paint, how you've gone in one way and made absolutely no mistakes. Her eyes are lovely, even better than the traditional blue eyes that Aang had. Her eyelashes are fine and her facial features show how bad she can kick butt.

Lovely, and it defiantely deserved a DD.

What do you think?

Funny coincidence how this is the second of it's kind I've seen today but from a different artist (is this Avatar day or something

) Anyway since I don't watch the actual show I guess I can have an un-biased opinion to share.

Mostly regarding the fire though. The "real" flames look really cool, and that's a strange, fluid effect that can be hard to paint. But I would have attempted it anyway since having one photo-based element in the artwork looks a bit out of place when everything else looks painted from scratch. Maybe even a simple paint-over the fire or a soft glow around it would help it blend in better
