In 2005, The Last Airbender made its groundbreaking debut on Nickelodeon. Its story about a monk named Aang who can control the elements of water, earth, air, and fire captivated viewers around the world.
In 2012, the series got a sequel spin-off called The Legend of Korra which focused on the new Avatar. A talented cosplayer brought the show’s fierce protagonist to life with a mind-blowing costume that will leave fans in awe.

The Legend of Korra takes place 100 years after Aang’s story, and focuses on his successor, Korra. The series ran from 2012 to 2014, and followed the water tribe Avatar as she tries to bring balance to a world that is quickly becoming modernized.
Cosplayer ‘hey_jude107‘ shared a true-to-life take on the heroine, and stuns with an insanely accurate costume. Photographer ‘dzetarion‘ captured the artist posing as the Avatar in front of a flowing river in the back.
