So that's it for Book one of Korra , it is now complete!  All that work that we did was over so fast.  We on Korra hope you enjoyed Book 1 and we are currently working are butts off on Book 2.  I said almost 2 years ago that Book 1 would have some great stuff in it and let me tell you Book 2 should be the same! I do love this show!  I want to thank my good friends  Bryan, Mike, Ryu, Lauren and Joaquim for letting me be a part of such a great show .
So its feedback time, tell me what you thought of season one and the last two episodes of Korra.  I love hearing your thoughts so good or bad just let them rip..

Also, some of us on Korra did a little jam art to share our love for the show and you guys. You can find it on Bryan's tumblr  @    [link]

IBGraham's Profile Picture

Ian Graham
Artist
United States
I’m Ian Graham. I’ve worked in Animation for over 10 years, most of which was storyboarding. After lots of encouragement from my friends in animation, I’m using Deviant Art to show my professional and personal work. Now, the bulk of what you will see are drawings but I have thrown in some color work from my student years and hopefully I will be adding new color work as I try to do more work for myself.

I am lucky enough to have worked on great shows with amazingly talented people involved. Some of the shows I have worked on include:
The Legend of Korra
The Cleveland Show
GI Joe Resolute
The Mighty B
Avatar the Last Airbender
Spongebob Squarepants
Danny Phantom
Fairly Odd Parents
and Invader Zim, just to name a few.


I have found that over the years you learn the most from working with the best. So, when choosing what jobs to take I choose the ones with the largest talent pool.
My influences are quite different. Everything from FLCL to Ren and Stimpy. I love Anime and UPA old school and new school. It’s all good.

I’m taking a different approach to showing my professional work. Normally, when presenting storyboards you show the boards but in this case I’m going to show panels, not entire boards. If I was up for a job I would present my board, but the main focus in this case is individual shots and the drawings behind them. What’s nice about this is sometimes boards can get technical and that’s only fun to look at if you storyboard. This way we don’t have to deal with separated pans, ols and s/a . Plus one storyboard sequence can be anywhere from 100 to 300 pages.

One other thing, I will be updating the artwork when time permits but I am bad at responding to comments, and when I do respond it tends to be short like “COOL“ or “Thanks“ or even “That hurts“, but I’ll do my best to respond.

Thanks.
Ian Graham

Oh, and I also want to give special thanks to Nickelodeon who I have spent 8 of my 11 years in animation with. The people at Nick have taken good care of me.

Wow! I can hardly believe that one of the artists working on The Legend of Korra is on Deviant Art. I am so happy! I just wanted to tell you that I love the Legend of Korra. The art, the animation, the story, the characters, and everything in between are all amazing. I love the show and I always look forward to watching it! Oh gosh, that beautiful art and animation. So fluid and graceful! I really love your sketches. They're beautiful. <3 I just want to hug you! *hugs* Give everyone else a hug for me too, please. I may never get to meet any of you, but a virtual hug is better than no hug at all. You all deserve hugs for your beautiful work. <3

Stumbled on your DA from your storyboard work for Danny Phantom, your sketching is so clean and precise and my dream is to work in the animation/video game industry as an artist.

You give me the motivation to keep going, very excited to see more of your work in the future!!!
