I came up with the plan for this a few months ago: To have the main 5 at the front and then all the minor characters in the background. I went through my DVDs and wrote down the name of every single character who was influential or who had any sort of speaking role, from the classic cabbage guy to the meditating monkey thing when Aang visits Koh. My total tally was over 200 when the larger characters were added. Realizing this was a bit of a pipe dream I kept cutting, and cutting, and cutting, until my final list turned out to be just shy of 100. Everyone in the BG now is someone who had a major influence on a plot line or who appeared more than once. I threw a couple of faces in there that don't fit the description though, that only die-hard fans will probably recognize.
I drew EVERYONE in the BG, btw. No one was screencapped. I drew using the DVDs as reference, pausing and screengrabbing so I'd have easy access to various shots of each character. It took a long, long, long time.
Ultimately the main 5 didn't turn out quite how I wanted; maybe someday when I have more time I'll go back and redo them. Otherwise I'm happy with it. It was neat to see people's reactions to it; I really like being able to please others with my art and this seemed to be a popular one at AN. ^_^
I know Appa and Momo are missing. There were too many animals I wanted to put in though, so I realized the only way to keep things balanced was to keep it exclusively people.

One of the most ambitious artworks I've ever seen and so totally worth it. Love the group at the front too and how there's no one really left out.
Great work! I hope you get a lot of recognition for this.
