Description

Something I've been working on for a while now...

I saw the idea before from other deviants and on internet in general, but I have to admit I didn't like most of the made up symbols I saw before... so I made up my own with my understanding of what the symbols are, of course with proper respect of the original ones that have appeared in the actual series.

My understanding and explanation to my personal interpretation is as follows:

Center:  The Yin and Yang, the Spirituality and Energy that lives within all things

Inner Circle: The original four elements in the proper avatar cycle...
Fire
Air
Water
Earth

(based and trying to symetrically mimic the original series symbols)

Advanced States: straight line from the symbols.

Lightning from Fire (Technically lightning generation/redirection )
Void from Air (Seeing Zaheer in Book 3 Change achieve this was cool, "enter the void and become wind")
Blood from Water (Trying to mimic a full moon as blood bending is established first as a moon induced power only)
Metal from Earth (Based on Book 4: Balance banner for the Earth Empire, works as the perfect symbol for metal, I first did the badge in Lin's uniform but this one felt right)

Combined elements / Variable sub-bending : in between the advanced symbols.

Fire + Air = Combustion (based on the tattoo from both combustion benders in the series)
Air + Water = Healing ( I decided this one as the 'spiritual healing' symbol based on the Book 2: Spirits season, but healing was easier to label, adding swirls from water and air and a spiral in the middle as to 'center' it. Mixing Air nomad spirituality with healing water bending arts is the way I interpret this from being a possibility)
Water + Earth = Plant (=w= I know its not a combination but I like the idea that both are needed for plant life)
Earth + Fire = Lava (In the series both earth benders and fire benders have been shown lava bending so its a mixed art)

OwO Handmade over and over and eventually near-symmetrically with help of rulers only (I didn't find the compass XP)

All Avatar the last airbender and Legend of Korra symbology, characters and story belongs to Nickelodeon studios, hand art by me
