Updates
8/16/08: Sorry for the delay, I wanted to finish this before posting the update. The Merchandise page has recieved a massive update to the Apparel, Other, Accessories, Games, and Toys sections. There's also new fanart from Don, icons from Kotryna and Penny Ferret, and wallpapers from JewelofSong and West. More official art of Aang, Ozai, and Toph have been added as well. And thanks to everyone who sent in more OMG Dude! finds; I'll try getting them all ready for the next update. Oh, and for those who used to visit the DH Oekaki, the new board is up and running, and still has the same address as the old one. :)
Also, earlier this month Paramount Pictures opened up an official website for the casting info for Aang, at TheLastAirBenderCasting.com. Good luck to those who enter!
7/26/08: News is out from yesterday's Avatar panel, and here are the highlights and youtube videos thanks to AvatarSpirit.net.
[Mike & Bryan's Q&A session]
Highlights: A soundtrack is being pushed to be made (Do it Nick!), a scene where Zuko found Ursa was storyboarded but was cut out, the first movie will be a faithful adaption of Book 1: Water, and no there is no fourth season.
[Global Avatar Multiplayer Online game announced]
Full report at Kotaku.com; it'll be released online in September in 77 countries, with online arenas, customizable characters, and role playing. A preview video of the arena battles and customizable menus and instruction screens can be downloaded here. (WMV file, 30MB)
[Mike & Bryan Cartoon #1 and Cartoon #2] Note: short animations of the co-creators that played before and after the Sozin's Comet finale airing at the Con.
...I think that's it for right now. More will be linked to as it's posted though. There's also an autograph signing at the Con later today with Mike and Bryan, so more good questions might be asked by the fans then? I guess we'll wait and see.
7/24/08: Comic Con this weekend! What kind of Avatar news will be announced? I'll post links to the reviews and fan news posts when they come out. :) Since the main series ended last week, I should probably write something long about what an experience these past three years have been, and how honored I am to have been able to see this amazing show and to be a part to the fan community. But that sentence pretty much sums it up? Maybe I'm still in a whirl from the finale, but it doesn't feel like it's the end. The show may be over, but it's still open for more. And as such, this site will stay open as well. =) But many congratulations to the Avatar cast and crew who did a phenomenal job throughout the entire series. ♥
Update-wise, there are a whopping 13 new OMG Dude! entries, all regarding the last half of Book 3: Fire, so beware of finale spoilers. The Official Art page has been updated with some high-quality art of the Gaang and a few other characters as well. (new pics are marked with a border) There's also new Fanart from Howaidonami, KatyD, and Zkjanie, and new Icons from Kotryna, Penny Ferret, and West. I was going to post new sprites too, but I didn't want to delay this update any longer. ^^; Next time!
