Also, as often is the case with portraying females as assassins or ninjas etc., there is plenty of over-sexualisation (often intended by the artist) because the target audience of the works is almost always male. Realistically, female assassins would not wear a simple crop top exposing the underside of their breasts if they were to be an assassin, and in the image suggested for the female metalbending character her body is enlarged out of proportion, unlike the male. In short, sure, she was sexualised the way she was designed to be, but only because of the audience viewing the photo. There are ample amounts of female assassin photos around the internet where they are dressed in sensible clothing (eg. http://anndr.deviantart.com/art/Daggers-209428612) but if you inists on having all the photos from one artist I don't think there's much I can do.
