EDIT: I cannot choose who does or does not join "Iroh's Army" or where you are "ranked" in the army. The entire concept was :iconsylvacoer:'s invention to begin with, not mine.

If you're still interested in joining Iroh's Army, the devART Iroh fanclub, :iconirohs-tea-time: has taken up the banner as the official dA headquarters of Iroh's Army.

EDIT: Since this keeps being brought up, I figured I'd go ahead and cover it here. This deviation was submitted PRIOR to (that means before) the airing of the Avatar episode that showed buff Iroh. So yes, I know he's strong enough to break himself out. You don't need to tell me. I have not watched episodes 310 & 311 yet, if he breaks out at mid-season, I would appreciate not being spoiled to that little bit of information thank you. I know the episodes were hacked and are online, it doesn't mean I'll be watching them that way.

And 2, the contest this was originally created for is over. ( [link] ) I won 1st place in both the Poster and T-Shirt Design sections. Thank you to everyone who voted for me. :heart:

My second contest entry for :iconsylvacoer:'s Iroh's Army contest.

This took me for-flipping-ever to finish it. It's a total of something like 16 or 17 separate drawings, and putting it all together without my program crashing was a bit of a challenge.

Yes, it is very long. It's supposed to read like a political commercial/TV ad. It's for the "Poster" category of entries. My entire concept was thinking about all the people who would join an actual Iroh's Army in the ATLA universe.

Well... I hope you guys like it.

The 4 fans featured ot of the gray faceless crowd in the Fan part of Iroh's Army are two random ones, our ringleader *sylvacoer, and myself (with my ever increasing arsenal of shiny objects).


... AND, No. None of us would ever really hurt or threaten Bryan and Mike. We love them for bring the story of the Avatar universe to us.

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" is © Michael DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, and Nickelodeon.

This had to be so long exactly because my muse was like, and this person would do this, and this person would do this... And you can't do just one when that happens. :D

I'm glad you like the snakes on a plane bit. I beeped it out to not hit too hard on the no profanity rule.

We loyally march behind General SylvaCoer! For Iroh's freedom! For the Once and future King--- umm--- Fire Lord!

"TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELL!!!"

Random Iroh's Army Soldier: can't we go to the jasmine dragon instead?

sylva: okay fine - but AFTER that, we dine in Hell.

P.S. - I can't believe I didn't mention this the first time, but I love how you have Fire Nation soldiers mutinying in solidarity with their respected former commander. So f-n FANTASTIC!!! :w00t:

Hee... Oh, please let me draw that if someone hasn't already. (The dining in hell bit.)

Thanks! I love the Fire Nation conceptually. (I had to put it in!) I'm positively obsessive about honor, so I love he idea of the nation. I just think their definition of honor has been twisted in the past 100 years.
