Korra sculpture

I did this clay sculpture last year, since we did this clay project and I happened to have a chunk of clay left over. It's not very big (as can be seen from the pencil holder in the back), and it's one of my first sculptures with a human subject matter so please no bashing!

This might look familiar to fans of the Nickoodeon series "The Legend of Korra". Yes, this is Korra, the main protagonist of a story set in a world where some people are able to control, or 'bend' either one of four elements: water, air, earth and fire. Her main element is water, but she happens to be a special 'chosen one' with the ability to manipulate all four, known as an Avatar. The Avatar's duty is to maintain balance in the world (since benders of the four different elements may not always be on good terms). Once the current Avatar passes away he/she will be reincarnated, and the cycle repeats itself. It is quite a task for a seventeen-year-old girl like herself.

The show itself is a sequel series to "Avatar: The Last Airbender", in which the protagonist was an airbender named Aang, who reincarnated into Korra. I happened to finish watching the first season of "Korra" and got inspired to do this. I know I've stated before that this is not a DeviantArt account, but fan art like this is worth posting to me.
