kuvira is my favorite character of the entire LoK universe.  here’s my take of how she’d look in prison because i have a really hard time painting metal because i’m interested in painting her vulnerability as well as her strength

In January, I marathoned Legend of Korra and came out with a new favorite character. Despite its flaws, I really enjoyed LoK. I might even prefer it to the original series. Also, this is my submission to the Gallery Nucleus Avatar exhibit! I’m happy to have entered even if this picture doesn’t make the cut.

I’m really pleased with the choice to have Kuvira wear gloves. It seems like a small detail but it actually gives a great deal of insight into the character herself

  • She’s an earthbender who literally doesn’t want to touch earth. Contrast this with the rough and tumble ways of all the ATLA earthbenders, many of whom did not even wear shoes.
  • This sign of her fastidious nature makes her extreme proficiency in metalbending perfectly natural. Like Guru Pathik told Aang, metal is simply earth that has been purified and refined. It’s no surprise that Kuvira would be attracted to the ”purer” and more controlled metal as a weapon. 
  • And of course there is the symbolism of her using a gloved hand to force the governor into signing what amounts to the type of dirty ”protection” contract seen in many broken societies—Kuvira is essentially a warlord but she truly believes in her image as ”The Great Uniter” and the necessity of her own power. This is a deeper sense of purpose and surety than even Azula displayed, which sets her in direct contrast to the wayward and under-confident Korra.
