I was supposed to be working on my actual real-life illustrating gig, when I decided it was time for another Zuko portrait!

I have no regrets! ;P

@zutaraweek day 1: tradition

i liked the idea of tradition by the way of ‘in the tradition of a specific artist’ and landed on magritte. the most direct inspirations were two of his paintings, 16th September and the Banquet (non animated version will be up later!)

There’s a million fanfics with this plot (including mine) and I still can’t get enough!

ZK Fanwork Appreciation Week Day 3: Fanart Tuesday

(Mature Content warning for below link. Do not click if under 18 or not into E-rated stories.) Based on Chapter 3 of Something Brewing  By @dracosollicitus (Draco_sollicitus on AO3) Rated E - EXPLICIT (I cannot emphasize enough that while I adapted the “safe” bits of build up in this chapter, this story is EXPLICIT and NSFW with Adult Zutara. DO NOT INTERACT/READ/REBLOG/LIKE IF UNDER 18 or if it’s not your thing. You have been warned.)

There are just so many moments in Draco_sollicitus’s Something Brewing that I love… so yes… just a little more of Chapter 3. I couldn’t help but make one more fanart for it! MATURE CONTENT WARNING for the AO3 story! This comic ended up being a bit more mature than I usually make, but I really wanted to explore this sort of intimate moment when Zuko takes his shirt off, and Katara is sort of flooded with a strange mixture of emotions: being attracted but also reminded of the trauma of Zuko almost dying. I don’t know… it was really moving to read, so I wanted to capture it. I’m not really adept at comics though so please forgive the quality of this; alas, I didn’t have time to board it (weeps). And yes the proportions got a little wacky; by the time I noticed it, it was too late to fix it ToT… but yeah. Enjoy!

The No “I Love You” Animatic In case Tumblr can’t play the video, here’s the Vimeo Link

Link to the AO3 collection So, when @fictionissocialinquiry laid out this challenge, it was mainly for writers; but she included some extra prompts therein, and one was a line from Hozier’s “Shrike”.

I couldn’t whisper when you needed it shouted This led me to listen to “Shrike” on repeat while I feverishly started doodling the thumbnails for the animatic I got in my head (so I hope that some of that emotion from Hozier’s amazing song comes through in the final board, ‘cause I listened to it. A. Lot.). While I think it’s a bit easier for drawings to express “I love you” without any words needed at all. I wanted to try and approach the task by thinking of ways one can confess that they love someone through acts of service and tenderness versus super obvious displays of love, I guess. It came out with a sort of courtly love-ish vibe that I really ended up liking. (Though I suppose reciprocation makes it not courtly love ANYWHO…)

I’m in an Ambassador Katara/Fire Lord Zuko state of mind! I just love any love story with them in these roles. There are so many different ways to play with the set up of them as Ambassador and Fire Lord. In this one, I kind of picture that they haven’t gotten together yet (this is divergent from whatever I did in the Reunion animatics; this is it’s own thing). Perhaps they are on the precipice of realizing they want to be together… I don’t know; it’s open to interpretation. XD but what I hope I portrayed clearly is how one can show that they love another. u.u

Please no reposting. (And while I don’t mind screenshots being posted so long as you credit me with a link to either the tumblr post or the Vimeo link, please don’t post like a bunch of frames, and there should be no money being made off of it; this is a purely not-for-profit sort of thing. These were for fun, and I enjoy people liking them one so much. However, the screenshot rule ONLY applies to the animatics, but it really is an honor system here, guys, please be judicious with how many you take.)
