Zuko tries to emulate what he's seen Katara do when Aang is in the avatar state. Its not as easy as it looks

#atla #avatar the last airbender #avatar #zuko #aang #mp100 finale reference used lol #still never quite figured out how to get to the avatar

how similar zuko and ozai look from side profile got me thinking:

i mean they have the same straight forehead, same brow, and the long and sharp nose. having a familial resemblance to the person you hate most in the world is real and it sucks. i imagine this bothers zuko for a long time, bc every time he looks in the mirror he's reminded of ozai.

until one day he gets socked in the face by an assassin and breaks his nose. ever since then he has a nose bump and he's very happy with it

#id in alt text #i've been hanging on to this idea for years #every time i draw him side profile i put extra effort in his little nose bump #got to spread the agender #zuko #click for quality #avatar #avatar the last airbender #firelord zuko #atla #fanart #zuko fanart #my art #this is your reminder to FLIP THE CANVAS i had to do so much liquifying 😭#also that rightmost zuko?? prettiest thing i have ever drawn wtf and i barely used a reference image. how did i do that #tea arts🍵

there’s actually no threat they’re just posing

#my art #i tried to color this traditionally and then twice digitally and i disliked all of it so whatever here’s the lines #if anyone wants to color it feel free #zukka #atla #avatar the last airbender #sokka #zuko #i scribbled that bg down so fast. felt illegal tbh #i didn’t use references so their anatomy is a bit weird #also? i hate drawing swords. esp dao #u can imagine how much that sucks when you’re zukka nation

Oh shit wait I forgot to put up Twist Me to the Left Katara tattoo study that got totally out of control because or how much I finally drew a Katara that looked RIGHT (to my internal vision) I’m so happy with this stupid sketch

#my art #atla #avatar: the last airbender #katara #twist me to the left #zutara #my tagging system is a mess because I use it for art reference and it’s been trash lately as I work on Zutara week stuff #anyway I love this very much #very proud #hey how do you write zuko good? that’s easy I draw Katara very hot and the spirit of Zuko possesses me

#i like to think that zuko uses lu ten as reference when handling yhe younger members of the gaang #like he cant just be himself because the only big brother experience he has is with AZULA #asks

Zuko's letter to Iroh, from: Avatar The Last Airbender - Legacy of the Fire Nation

#avatar: the last airbender #atla #zuko #fire lord zuko #azula #uncle iroh #zuko and azula #considering how little iroh gave us in regard to azula in the Legacy of the Fire Nation #zuko's memories of Ember Island and the summers with azula #and how this place brought them back refering to the beach episode #and how he compared it to his time with gaang #yeah it hits much harder

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki

#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk #like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions #while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized #but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama #and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction #i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me #anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa #and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan #ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places #and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls #i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show #they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation #theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets #back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame #plus over done #it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan #but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions #also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island #from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference #and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading #and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references #cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on #i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand #i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix #god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china”#my brother in christ red is also important in japan #red is important in like many many asian cultures #i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches #like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan #but a lot of those comes from china in some way

Finished the live action avatar

It’s not a perfect adaptation, I think the biggest thing is they have taken a lot of the fun out of it, Aang doesn’t wanna go do kid stuff, Iroh is way more serious, BUT I don’t necessarily blame like the series itself as much as I blame the current state of tv being in constraints of like 8 episodes and wanting people to binge it in the first few days and everything.

I hope they let Azula be as scary as possible next season, I think they just wanted her introduced a bit earlier since everyone was gonna be waiting for it, I hope they let Iroh chill out a bit more, but in general from my point of view if you see people bashing this series with as much vitriol as the movie then they’re being super dramatic. There are parts that could absolutely be better but like I said those issues go hand in hand with issues with all of tv right now. I think it’s decent at least, I know it’s a beloved series but some people are being HARSH

#bring back filler and characters just hanging out #and stop expecting people to watch shit in the first 30 seconds before you cancel it #for reference I think it’s a better adaptation than the new Percy Jackson tbh #same kinda vibes in the exposition dumps and kinda treating the audience like idiots but avatar just slightly bumps above percy for me #other minor issues are the acting at times but some of those times are literal children #a lot of people seem pissed at the zuko portrayal but season one zuko is dramatic af a lot of the time #and I think Dallas Liu just turned that up a bit and made him angrier which I’m not mad at #I wish katara was a little snarkier I saw someone mention her rage being kind of hamstrung and they were kinda right #it’s not entirely gone but it’s not there as much as I’d like #cgi is kinda whack at times too but that’s everything atm as well not avatar specific #the martial arts pretty good too esp fire bending they still clearly took from Shaolin kinda styles #I do wish they’d speed aang up a bit though #both in general but also stop using slow mo when he’s doing shit #anyway #I’m not super mad at it #if they don’t fuck up toph and do some better characterising of azula and iroh we might actually see it to the end #and some more episodes for like actual development but I feel like that’s wishful thinking with Netflix rn #even like 10-12 would be better and then sokka could’ve had his development with the Kyoshi warriors #and aang can show more of his reluctance and fear because he’s a twelve year old pacifist #avatar #avatar the last airbender #avatar live action #atla
