"I definitely wanted to broaden the Asian diversity. Up until now, the world of ATLA and Korra have been predominantly Chinese and Japanese in culture (and Inuit, for the Water Tribes). I was given the opportunity to design a few of the new main characters, one of whom is Bangladeshi, and another who is Korean. As well, there is definitely a stronger presence of South Asians -- Filipinos, Indonesians, Malaysians, Indians, etc. And since my drawings are stylistically more figurative than the show's style, I try to define more definitive Asian facial features."

"DIMARTINO:The enthusiasm with which the finale and Turf Wars has been received has been humbling, to say the least. I’ve always intellectually known that diversity in media is important, but after hearing so many personal stories about how Korra and Asami’s relationship has inspired young adults to come out to their friends and family or let them know they aren’t alone, I feel that truth on a much deeper, emotional level. It reaffirms for me the undeniable power stories, and the media can have in our culture. When used in an affirmative way, a character or story can literally change a person’s life."
