Artist's Comments

This is the poster Aang and Katara had printed in the episode Lake Laogai of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I draw something "anime" for a poster contest for my Vector class again, and decided this was perfect. I know it's not technically anime but it has anime influences, and I love the show so that's good enough for me.

I had to do the Chinese/Japanese manually (drawing each stroke with the Brush). I thought it was Chinese as a Chinese Caligrapher does all the words, but it looks (at least some of it) Japanese to me, maybe a mix?
If anyone would like to help, I would like to type it. If anyone could translate it to romanji or text, then I could type out the romanji and it would convert it to Chinese or Japanese kanji, or copy and paste. But if not, this will have to do. Though it would look MUCH better if it was typed out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's Chinese but it's hard to say.
I can only read the numbers on this picture.

Nicely done!
Unfortunately the Kanji are all Chinese—actually, any and all "kanji" are technically chinese. The way you can tell the difference between the written languages is by the presence or absence of katakana and hiragana, which are phonetic "alphabets" unique to the Japanese language. :) When you just see one solid wall of Kanji (like on you lovely poster) it's a dead give-away that the language is most likely Chinese of some sort.
Also, though I'm no expert on Classsical Chinese, but some of the kanji forms looks supiciously like Old Chinese—nearly unreadable to laymen. So...can't help you there. >_< Sorry. :( I'm sure, though, that if you asked a native Chinese, they'd be able to tell you what it says!
