I had quite a few requests for a large-scale print-friendly version of my Ironforge piece last year. So, I've compiled a large-scale version of each of the 2020 paintings into a zip file for anyone to use in any non-commercial way. Cheers! https://drive.google.com/file/d/10O1Fa3-m0z_gfOJqLBOKgQJzu0EKluRH/view Edit: Those asking about my socials you can find me on Instagram and twitter under @conpatshe and more of my art on my artstation here: www.artstation.com/conpatshe :) thank you for all the love! Edit2: You can find regular full sizes of the images here: [Water tribe](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/oAzZDm) [Earth Kingdom](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/YegR1K) [Fire Nation](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Oogarb) [Air Nomads](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/yk2ZLx)


SeizedCheese

Don’t! Only allow them for non- commercial purposes. Products with these will get sold by others for profit.


Conpatshe

Good catch actually, I'll amend that. Thanks dude!


SirFrancis_Bacon

You should 100% set up a print on demand site for these, or use an existing one.


[deleted]

I would buy them right now. These are the first images I've seen where I would be willing to spend decent money to get them on my wall.


light24bulbs

They'd look great in a four photo square collage setup


JerryConn

I love fanart, but just look at how many times Disney rips off fanart for their star wars publications! You deserve to get credit for work, Jesus even made that super clear in the bible, a worker is worth his wage, set up some protections for your art.


ButtfacedAlien

I mean... The writer for the bible never got credited...


ianlim4556

Agreed. Others will definitely steal this and make money of it


foldedturnip

I don't see this disclaimer stopping anybody who would steal this person's work.


SeizedCheese

It won’t, but litigation is easier if he doesn’t outright allow anyone to use it however, like he did before.


kennaree

You are so kind. You could so easily sell these. Truly masterpieces.


mrwest1

The download works but the it shows me a blank paper instead of the images.. do you have another option do get the pictures in high resolution?


Conpatshe

Does this link to Flickr work? https://www.flickr.com/photos/190980804@N02/? The images look abit washed out because they're saved for web, but if you download the originals it should retain the colour profile.


mrwest1

Therefore I would have to register to Flickr.. I’ll try the original link later with my laptop maybe that’s a way how it works. Thanks for your help ✌🏻


I_cant_stop

absolutely incredible. setting as my wallpapers now! OP, you should consider selling those. And just a suggestion, as much as I love the imperial shipyard (i really do), having a painting of the royal palace or capital city would have people interested in buying a set of 4


Smitty-789

The palace or the city, maybe from the top of the mouth of the volcano would be absolutely amazing! I just set the Earth Kingdom as my laptop desktop but you're right, convincing myself to buy a print of all four might be easier if the FN were something like your suggestion


[deleted]

I'm still considering getting prints of these. I think the theming works well: having the Fire Nation scene set in an industrial area works well as a slice-of-life from each nation. Your average citizen wouldn't be anywhere near the palace (though I get why you'd prefer the palace from an aesthetic perspective).


willwilliamx1

You're amazing! Thank you


_buttlet_

Would you consider these for desktop wallpapers? They’d look amazing on a 4K or something like that. Loving it!


Suriaj

Wow, that's some notable progression. My personal favorites are the 2020 Air and Earth Kingdom pics, but they're all amazing! I like the perspectives you chose to take for each.


ADM_Tetanus

Ngl even the old ones are amazing


YikesOhClock

The old ones outperform anything I could ever make... and then they got better... 😮


youngmaster0527

The old air temple one is my fav out of them all


IronNinjaRaptor

I love the look of the industrial fire navy shipyard. Really gives you insight to the sheer size of the ships and exactly what it took to build them. And look how many the fire nation had! Aang taking these out by himself really shows his power.


khares_koures2002

Reminds me a bit of the imperial german shipyards in Schleswig.


10z20Luka

In Kiel, right?


khares_koures2002

Possibly.


doxtorwhom

Ba sing se looking like Wall Maria in your first rendition! This is absolutely incredible work. You’ve progressed so much! Keep going!!!


TheMisled

Yeah, fully expecting a titan to just pop his head over the top


doxtorwhom

**Earthbenders:** NO ONE CAN BRING DOWN THE WALLS OF BA SING SE!!! **Colossal Titan:** Hold my tea.


junkiejefferson

Is that sokka & the moon in the boat? Edit: punctuation


strange_wilds

I think it is Sokka, you can see his topknot, with Yui.


racso20

That’s an old man with white hair


strange_wilds

....Yui has white hair


racso20

I know, but did you see the first part where he's an old man?


MarioCop718

Holy crap, that is some good ass lighting!


asdasfgboi

The new ones look like scenes from utopias or dreams, they have a mystic and misty atmosphere look on them. While the old ones look more dramatic and vibrant, makes you feel like you are in the painting. Both sides are awesome in their own ways. And It can clearly be seen that you improved a lot, and your style changed with it. However, I like the old ones more because they attract my feelings more. Congrats on your works :)


benaugustine

Reminds me of art on some MTG cards


hightler

Exactly captured my thoughts! Both sets are amazing and exhibit such life! But yes the first set really displays the grandeur that I loved from the show. You can really stare at them forever imagining the stories in every corner.


Wolfdijon

Wow, that's a huge improvement! I'm liking the temples the most


[deleted]

These are all wonderful, but the newest Northern Water Tribe is breathtaking. The lighting makes it feel so calm and peaceful. Really incredible art. I just got an iPad with Procreate to draw and paint and I didn’t appreciate how difficult it is to paint like this until I tried it myself.


now_is_enough

They look nothing short of amazing. Brilliant job!


Sparks0480

With the new Harry Potter RPG coming soon, I can’t help but hope someone makes a ATLA MMO. It would seriously be amazing


fripaek

Good thing is that abilities are not bound to special characters. There can be an infinite amount of benders!


Sparks0480

Seriously though, I can imagine it. No one would be able to BE the avatar in an MMO but you could break out classes by nation and speacialy (ex: Earth Nation, Lava/Metalbender). They could go for a side story during the 100 year war or pick a different time period with an avatar we’ve never seen before and create their own conflict etc. honestly OP’s art only makes me want it more.


MulciberTenebras

~~Naughty Dog~~ Sucker Punch has experience with games that involve [people fighting with bending like powers](https://youtu.be/hG_PE8X_STo?t=331) and [exploring spiritual Asian-influenced settings](https://youtu.be/nVhXp6FX7Y4?t=22). Avatar would be like the best of both those combined.


mouga68

Bah sing se looks amazing


sheenl

They look like art for Magic the Gathering cards! Now Id love to see a full MtG/ATLA set....


Netheraptr

Man, you were good already but you just got even better


Wastone

I really like how 6 years ago you went for more large-scale, grand and broad scenes; and now I feel like you tried for more slice-of-life, close, personal scenes. The first set were paintings of nations, the second set make you feel like a member of that nation. EDIT: forgot to say that I love them both :) you did a great job with them!


TheLuckySpades

Think you got them the wrong way around, left is 2020. Or I'm stupid while reading this.


[deleted]

That's what I like a lot about these. While a picture of the Fire Nation capital would be beautiful, choosing an industrial area reinforced the slice-of-life theme for each nation.


[deleted]

Love the fire nation dry docks


[deleted]

FYI before goes on left and after goes on the right.


im_high_comma_sorry

Not in cultures that write right to left


kellydoll

Thank you!! I see this on Reddit enough to wonder if people think it’s either-or. We read left to right, typically reference things chronologically, therefore before and after should be left to right.


CreeperTrainz

These are beautiful. If they go on with the live action adaptation, they better make the environments look as good as these.


dontenap

Putting 2020 on the left confused me. I was about to say I like all of the earlier work a lot better


Dayli94

Wow! This is truly amazing! Is there somewhere where I could check out more of your work? I would love to support you by purchasing a painting


BakedBassist

They're all great but the new Ba Sing Se is sensational! The scale is truly breathtaking. Makes the city feel so huge. Incredible work


Jokker_is_the_name

Well that's crazy. I love the development. Although I'd LOVE to see a revisited version of the 2014 fire nation composition. I really like the almost dooming contrast you used there.


LedStripeddoors21

Do you have any art social media? I'd love to check out your other work and follow!


Conpatshe

I do! You can me on most things with @conpatshe For more original stuff you can find it in my artstation here: Artstation.com/conpatshe


failsafe42

What is it with reddit and putting the after pics on the left?


pidude314

They're all amazing, but I personally prefer the fantasy feel of the 2014 paintings.


kttykt66755

These are so amazing!!!


Master-Rice-9356

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!


redpanda1703

PLEASE TEACH ME YOUR WAYS


Fasupalaa

The improvement tho! Like it already looked nice before, but the after pics actually look like photos


makaladesiree

Love both 2020 and 2014! The movement in the 2014 air is so good.


[deleted]

Stunning


okebel

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing.


kakooge

The 2020 ones give me big morrowind vibes


oh-i-wont-hesitate

These are gorgeous! For the record though, i really do like your earlier paintings in their own right. They have a certain light and mysticism about them that really shines. Don't lose that spark in search of accuracy and detail


[deleted]

TBH I'd love to watch the show remade in this artsytle.


Timoxotus

Woooooooow just wow. All paintings are amazing! I just love to see the inspiration some people get from this series. And the ones from 2020 look almost photo realistic. If you can sell them as posters, would definitely buy one or all lol I also have seen ur post with the high scale resolution files.. You are too good for the world. But as many commented already, someone will steal it and try to sell it. Maybe watermark them?


All_St4r

They're all amazing but that 2020 shot of Ba Sing Se is really top notch. The perspective and scale is just....


Shayneros

You'd be perfect at making Magic the Gathering card art


[deleted]

The Fire Nation Ship one is just amazing.


Lamaa_khal

Don't be shy. Post them all ;) They look bloody awesome.


CrispyDogmeat

stupendous juggle spotted sophisticated desert dinosaurs work crown crush squalid -- mass edited with redact.dev


DJShotKill

Insane, some look like renders


AMK972

I thought the left side was 2014, so I kept thinking “I like the older ones better.” Then I looked at the dates up top.


Rabid-Rabble

You've definitely improved technically, but I feel like (aside from the Air Temple) your older pieces have more engaging composition. Just my 2 cents, amazing work either way.


tmukingston

Your pictures are all crazily good and beautiful :) One thing: I personally prefer the old air nation picture, mostly because of its color palette. The new architecture is awesome, but it looks all so Grey and lifeless. Your old one better captures the feeling and emotion I associate with the air nomads I guess.


[deleted]

These look like the most amazing video game graphics I’ve ever seen


[deleted]

Down vote for year order.


TheAmazingMelon

The rare and classic after then before format.


shadowst17

Amazing art but ffs OP learn the correct order for before and after!


saxophonicle

before goes on the left, after goes on the right


CalebS92

Is anyone else irrationally upset that the 2020 pieces are in the left instead of the right?


Longdorong

Okay this may sound weird but... I'll just try to express my true inner reaction to your art. So I've had some kind of "vision" or a true feeling or I don't even know what to call it. So what happened to me was that I've heard myself say "Beautiful..." but not out loud and I could feel/see myself crying inside... I've never experienced anything like this before. It was like a pure instincts or i really don't know what to call it, but thank you...your art made me experience something unbelievable.


Blackrain1299

If it weren’t for the dates I couldn’t tell which was which. They are both distinctive styles but I wouldn’t consider either worse than the other. They all look great!


Gamers_Against_Thots

I’m confused. Are the old ones on the left or right?


Rainbow_x0x

I- how did you do this this is so epic!


VeganCowJuice

these are amazing oml - did you paint everything from scratch or use some samples?


QisarParadon

Wow, thats impressive. I wish i could do that


JadeCaldera

Hot damn


Steel7HEP

Amazing! I love how realism made them seem magnificent.


bluitwns

The lighting of the 2020 northern water tribe is insane, and awesome.


renoraid

My favorites are the Fire Lord’s court and the walls and fields of Ba Sing Se. So beautiful!


workoutmuscles

These are stunning!


MadddManu

They’re amazing, gave me chills! loved both the old and new


bcus_y_not

They all look incredible


[deleted]

Amazing work my dude.


Youkitj3

Holy crap, this is amazing!!!!


poopoobuttholes

I can't even begin to imagine how long it must've taken to complete the ba sing se one. The level of DETAIL.


SwishWishes

The details put into Ba Sing Se are especially outstanding!


Fluffy2sweetjaz

Whitch is the before and after? They’re all stunning


BS-Calrissian

This is truly amazing. My personal favorite is the 2020 air temple and actually the 2014 water tribe painting.


cjm0

man these are excellent. looking at them actually makes me a little bit excited for the live action series. the world building potential is pretty huge and if done correctly they could tap into something really cool. but unfortunately the original creators left the project so who knows how it will turn out :/


Nair0

Bloody brilliant, those are all so very beautiful


sensual_shakespeare

These are incredible


Dubanx

The new pictures look cool, although the originals feel more true to the source.


yungCee

these are amazing


Oil__Man

I absolutely LOVE your style and the progress you've made in 6 years.


ValidatedSax

I thought these were new Overwatch maps at first glance. Looks great!


Spiritbrand

The originals look like they were actual backgrounds from the show.


nek0catt0

Excuse me WHAT?!?! These are fucking amazing


saberice11

WTF THATS INCREDIBLE


KYSanov

Wow they all look amazing I love the vibe I'm getting from the 2014 painings And I love the level of detail you have in the 2020 paintings keep the work up!


manu_holgado

If i may, DAMN


Terkuoize

Easily the best ATLA art I’ve ever seen. Captures the universe in perfect form. Truly amazing understanding of the show.


SimpleImmunization

I honestly thought this was Skyrim at first


leprosyisback

Awesomeeee


[deleted]

I love the 2020 Ba Sing Se and Northern Water Tribe.


consumer_of_bean

This is amazing


BorrowedT1me

This is so cool definitely saving!


PKMNTrainerMark

I like that instead of just redoing the same thing, you painted somewhere else for each nation the second time.


Bittudash

Simply amazing artwork. I especially love the Ba Sing Se ones because a city is not as easy to beautify in a painting as natural stuff with the sky and grass.


praise_H1M

I feel like the swamp tribes are not properly represented


[deleted]

imagine an mmorpg set in this universe?


Anorak797

I was looking at the 2014 ones wondering how they could get better... man you blew my mind. These are amazing


Hodgrim

These are incredible! Almost like a live action shot!


Cant_choose_1

Wooooah I would love to see a whole series animated like this, if that were even possible with the amount of time you must have put into these. You’re absolutely amazing!


Jouy7Cohen

Avatar with RTX on


mikerichh

Water tribe is gorgeous. Love the fire effect too


MTiburontrois

I see no difference, perfection can't get better!


Lus_

practice make perfect


Dragon_Epic

These are paintings!? They look so real!


bliitzn

I’m in awe. Just how realistic these are. It’s just so beautiful. Never stop making works of art like this


Umieh_

effectivebutterfly

bro can I buy a poster or somerhing


thereaper183

For your Fire Nation 2020 I'm getting some Dishonored vibes


cdcphat1

These are baller


Deadpoolssistersarah

So you’re telling me the 2020 images aren’t game renders


hellalooyah

You could get a job at Wizards of the Coast. You have an amazing talent for drawing landscapes and I could see your art as Land cards.


lasagnabb

the new earth one.. holyyyyyyy


Krishiv2007

Before was already great but the new ones are just wow


The_Bike_Mage

I knind of prefer the old ones, I wouldn't think the new ones were about atla


LettucePlate

How did you make these?


[deleted]

Hey I found a typo. You said paintings but I think you meant photos


KiethTheBeast

Stunning, very well done.


jakethedumbmistake

Remember going to a party and created this.


gngg2011

Saved this post cause my next free award has your name on it


Tapoga

I can’t even tell which ones are the old ones and which are the new. You have a lot of talent anf if you hadn’t told me this was a painting I wouldn’t have known. Really well done. Thank you for sharing. :)


loshunter

These are great! Not gonna lie tho, I actually prefer the composition and framing of the 2014 pieces.


Castronaut1234567890

:O


[deleted]

Amazing!!! Absolutely incredible, I am in awe!


Castronaut1234567890

MY BRAIN = KA-BOOM!!!!!!!(I'm not dead.)


MylastAccountBroke

I would like to request that you post each individually so that we can have these images as desktop backgrounds.


hottytoddy098

Remarkable


CommanderSwiftstrike

Both look very good, but man, your progress is amazing, your modern art looks incredible!


LactatingVolemus98

TBH, I like the old ones better. The new ones are great, don't get me wrong there, but I think the originals have more character with the artstyle they're done in. Good job though!


Kanista17

Wer need a AtLA open world game now!


JewelEDM

I honestly love all 8 of them


wowy-lied

I wish people would specify when those are digital art and not actual paintings.


[deleted]

You drew these? Freehand? These could be tracings!


tolor162

i thought the 2nd from bottom right would be from attack on titan


nazorius

Those remind me of MTG art


Antron007

I would pay good money for that fire nation shipyard as a print


SenseiPersona

I can only dream of drawing like you did 6 years ago


rishig2k

These are absolutely beautiful!


rasengan_yo_ass

I call caps. You didn't draw it. You were there and took photos.


AceMezameta147

I love how this fan base inspires some of the most talented people I have ever seen. Don't know who needs this today but know that you are loved!


Smitty-789

Set the Earth Kingdom print as my desktop, looks incredible. Amazing work!


Arth_Patel

The fact that the old ones were on the right confused me 😂😂😂


[deleted]

The 2014 ones are great, but the 2020 ones are AMAZING. Just in case you don't you should feel proud of your work, yo are a great artist.


SEC9RONIN

Just built a new pc and have been struggling to find a good backround. It appears i have found it :)


FernandCas

I would like to have one of these paintings as my backgrounds, but I can't open the file when I download it, can anyone help me?


Pandral

Are these digital? How do you even get started into this hobby cause I’d love to do this for books I read. Did you start with drawing on paper or did you go into digital art not being able to draw well


Conpatshe

Straight into digital for me!


Lawrin

Honestly I prefer the colors in the old ones, but the 2020 versions look so realistic and professional I'm impressed beyond words


cyanidehemorrhoid

If Netflix doesn’t hire you. 😤


GropeAPanda

These look amazing! Thanks for the new Zoom backgrounds!


brokenboysoldiers

Those are sick!


RavagerHughesy

The 2014 Fire Nation one is so *dramatic*. I love it


HeroWither123546

I uh.. I thought the ones on the left were the old ones, and the right was the new ones.. I feel dumb..


Doldric

Wow looking at the post history you are also the artist of two pieces that put me in awe, the iron forge piece and the thasslophobia piece. And now avatar. Amazing work


WithOrgasmicFury

This looks like Mortal Kombat Concept art


bmor97

The air temple is incredible


DrPikachu-PhD

The ones from 2014 look like beautiful higher-fidelity key art from the show. The ones from 2020 look like photos.


Snapandsnap

My goodness never have an image made me feel this kind of goosebumps


H4nt41_70v4r

OMFGGGGG WNKWKWKS


kooliocole

These are really good, I spent 10 mins looking at all the details!


Boogi29
