Lord Ozai Daniel Dae Kim Concept Design (Live Action Movie " Avatar: The Last Airbender")

I wanted to do a concept animation of what Daniel Dae Kim could look like in the upcoming live action movie "Avatar: the Last Airbender".

I took a lot of creative liberties but I wanted to maintain some of the main features from the cartoon series!
