Artist's Comments

In Chinese tradition, the tiger and the dragon represent the conflict aspect of yin and yang: one is earthbound, one belongs to the heavens, and each are each other's worst enemy.

Jet as Tiger: He's got his tiger-hook swords for one :D He is also "lord of the forest." He is affiliated with earth, wild things, ferocious courage and danger.

White: Representing death as well as purity (here, in the sense of obsession, where no other things cloud his determination to defeat the Fire Nation)

Zuko as Dragon: The dragon is associated with royalty (the emperor) - Zuko is determined to regain his throne. I gave Zuko's dragon three claws instead of five, signifying he is incomplete/weak, for obvious reasons.

Black: Associated with Heaven as well as water (his oppositional elements, as he is currently in spiritual conflict)

I think I'll do a "fight" version of this, as soon as I can figure out how to draw Zuko in action in a dress. :D

You know when you said Zuko in action in a dress I pictured him holding his dress up with one hand and fight with the other, hihihihi. Great picture though, their clothes are stunning.

*O* OO! *loves* Have I ever told you (or anyone) how much I -adore- pictures (especially pretty ones) with meaning in even the little details(like the three claws?) Very well though out, and even better looking!
You just made my morning. (and have turned me into a avatar fan girl, but hey, what's a little obsession among friends, nee?)

Thanks! I always obsess about my backgrounds, and I have far too much fun with garden scenes.

Thanks so much! I love it when people pick out the small details that means my hard work has some significance for someone other than myself.

You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place.
