It's a little known but understandable fact that as an expert firebender, Zhao is capable of maintaining a constant, personal climate of approximately 73 degrees regardless of outside environment. As long as he's breathing, he's bending. This makes winter military campaigns perfectly acceptable; the only difference is a marked increase in troop grousing.
Choose Your Own Uniform Day usually goes great lengths in improving general morale, however. (:

Not shown: the hapless Water/ Earth village Zhao just toasted to the ground.

Also, if you don't hear from me for a while, it's because undead George Washington and the Sons of the American Revolution have come after me for my historical blasphemy.

Finally, this is for the seasonal contest over at *NoSelfControl. Cheers, everyone. Let's see some more entries! D:

lol okay I'm done.

that's bloody brilliant:D
Great work! Hey, every historical myth deserves to be a bit laughed at. I love how the main figure stands out.

Not that you weren't a great artist before, but you're getting better and better!

Fabulous spoof of an old piece. I think you've just won the contest.

Well, you see, Thor was my father, and my mother was a backup dancer in the b-52's music video Rock Lobster. That's my best explanation.

Thanks, but I'm afraid I don't deserve the compliments you've just given. Everything you mention is due to the fact that this is a parody of an oil painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware: [link]
