I maintain that it was forced. Amon's attitude basically did a full 180 with almost no provocation. He seemed to be a tenacious character with drive but the first setback had him changing his entire world view. I don't buy it. I could have seen it if there had been actual time and reason for it, but it wasn't enough. What you're called simply rushed, I'm going to call forced because they skipped too many steps in the process. That ending was a would have been good thing, not an actually was good thing. /explanation

I won't have that shit mixed together.
I don't know the lyrics to Telephone at all and I know like three lines from Call Me Maybe. So I wouldn't know that. I don't listen to ****** pop on purpose.
Episode was shining forced. Nothing felt like it was natural and free flowing. Amon and Tarrlok being brothers? Forced. Bolin having something to do? Forced. Asami not making good on multiple occurrences of betrayal face? Forced. Mako being able to resist bloodbending? Forced. Blood bros reconciliation into boat suicide? Forced. KorraXMako? KataraXAang level forced. Iroh and Aang saved the episode.
Counter bad and catchy with irredeemably awful and ear rending?
Motion has been called and seconded.
D i n n y - As always, you're execution is wonderful. The clouds in the background are a little oddly colored. Like they don't really seem to pay compliment to anything. The characters themselves and the rest of the background are very well designed and executed. Though, I feel like there could be more expression in their faces. I feel like you have conveyed your point sort of, but I don't necessarily get undying forever love or any of that, from looking at it. I feel like a character portrait should be able to reveal a character's quirks, emotional state, personality and overall demeanor. Your skill puts you far and away the best of us here. Just thought I'd let you know that I just have come to expect far more of you than just good. Luminey - This doesn't quite look finished. Maybe it's 'cause most people went ahead and colored too. I dunno. Either way, I'm a fan of the fact that you showed kind of more or less who this person was in the image. Clothing, posture, facial expression. All adding up to a character. I could guess at who she was from looking and I like that in a character portrait. Props on the correct execution of frills. Body structure and depth need work though. Like you should seriously partake in some model drawing or something to help get that worked out, because you're not getting it here. Llave - I"m a huge, huge, huge, fan of this from the knees down. Like those shoes are absolutely gorgeous. From the knees up is where we start seeing some problems. Those pants are bad. The ca/tg/irl in me is screaming over how those are basically just there to look nice and are functionally inferior to regular pants in every way. The swords look rushed and almost sloppy. The belt and gear set is wonderful. The shirt matches the theme. The torso and arms look incredibly stiff and need to look less awkward. It's like something straight out of ps2 in game graphics. Good foreshortening on the arm and good job on the gloves. Again the ca/tg/irl rears her head when I look at the face. Facial piercings are a pretty big inconvenience when living outside of a more or less pristine city environ and a huge liability in a fight and I personally dislike the self mutilation aspect of the whole process. Bandanna looks sweet, hair looks sloppy. Overall, you've got everything I want in a character portrait because you get a feeling for the character and all, but I don't like many of the specific design choices and some of the execution doesn't keep up. You did a good job, but I see more potential than product right now.
