I'm going to get ahead of this right now and say that this might not be a riveting read for folks. Bad advertising, I know, but I feel it's necessary to preface this by being realistic. I'm not uber-famous, my characters aren't known far and wide, and for Pete's sake, I don't even have a proper webcomic or series to speak of. But, I've been asked numerous questions enough that it might be useful to have a FAQ essay of sorts to clear the air a bit.
So here goes...a history of "Bomango", as best I can recall...
ORIGIN! (in real life)(image circa way the hell back when i was still spelling it GoGo BoManGo)
"Bomango" (as it's come to be known)
It's late. SO late. The skin of my hands is cracking for want of moisture, my back is stooped and bent, and the soles of my feet are freshly flayed. It has been a long, beastly day, and yet AWESOME, because GUESS WHAT:

I'm a graphic designer by trade, but I enjoy crafting, drawing, painting, sewing, and book arts. I like to try new things, too! Pretty much anything that interests me in the moment. I'm working on developing an illustration style of my own, and I especially love to create things that are useful as well as beautiful.
I admit, I was happy with how most of it turned out... a little TOO happy. Where's the obligatory cliff hanger?! Sadly, this felt to me like they were wrapping up some loose ends just in case Nickelodeon decided not to pick up a second season.
I was surprised with Tarrlok's story. I didn't expect that AT ALL, and in a good way. Plus, I called it. Amon was a lying bender the whole time. And even after all the douchey feelings I've had for Tarrlok, I absolutely couldn't hate him anymore. He was a tiny bit like Zuko, in that I could relate to his pain and the path it lead him on. BUT, I was super bummed that he just rolled over and let Noatok t
Mako redirected 'lightning' (electricity, but Iroh would have been proud). Korra's water bending had Katara written all over it. Lin fucking Beifong is MY HERO, and is her mother's daughter to the core. Not to mention a little someone called General Iroh II, son (? possibly grandson, but I'm hoping for young son) of Fire Lord Zuko. And OH MY GAWD, how could I forget to mention the Airbender kids?! Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo, you almost put your Grandpa Aang to shame with those moves!
Bolin's shining moment was when he yelled 'Moustache Guy!' Did anyone else just hear Sokka yelling 'Combustion Man!' in their head?!
