Artist's Comments

Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender

"I don't know who you are behind that mask," she said tersely, bending a flail of water from the canteen she carried as her sole weapon, "but right now, I've got your back."

The Blue Spirit nodded imperceptively, and the battle began anew...

Go read 's fic based on this fanart! -> [link]

--------------

Kyaaaaa~ I tell myself I hate cliches, and then I go and do this. *headdesk* Matching Katara and the Blue Spirit (Zuko) is a favorite hobby of Zutara shippers, and honestly, it's a seductive one. I wanted to do an action shot of the couple, which is why this image took freakin' forever. I. Hate. SWORDS!!! :rage:

No, I don't - I just hate drawing them, especially at weird angles. (~_~) Zuko's are especially hard since they're so curvy. And his mask was a complete biotch, since I was working with one little head-on screen shot. *shudders*

Katara's water flail was fun, once I figured it out.

If you're wondering why the three flames are different (and even if you aren't), it's just me indulging in a little obsessiveness. See, I figure since bending in the Avatarverse depends as much on a person's spirit as well as talent, why shouldn't individual flames be different, according to the person who produces them? (o_0)

You can probably tell I've put too much thought into this... ^^;

Now, how in the hell did you draw that floor????

Everytime you draw something, I get blown away by the amount of detail in it, especially the scenery.

I;m gonna give it a Fav on the promise you help me out with Backgrounds :D

Killing is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like badwrong, or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab.
:icondarkest-of-days:
Hehehehe, this pairing is starting to grow on me. =) I dunno why, they're just really awesome together, even though in the series they don't get along too well. ^^; Nice work with this! Gotta love blue. ^^ *fav color*

Lol now the Blue SpiritXKatara is a cliche. It wasn't so much so before the second season started when I did my fanart but your pwns mine in so many ways. I love your style. You make it look like a real painting and don't feel ashamed about paying obsessive attention to detail. Believe me I do that too. I look at many screenshots and actually use the dopper tool to pick up the exact color on them when I cg just so I get the right clothing colors. :crazy:
