Description
One of those original art pieces I was saying I would like to make more of.
I actually finished this all the way back on Valentine's Day, but decided for a reason I honestly don't remember not to post it. So here it is after quite a long wait in line. This piece was inspired by an artwork I saw on Pinterest that I thought was SO, so cute. Quite a few big changes were made to the idea I was going to do in the beginning, (naturally) but I wouldn't wish it went any other way cause I really like how it turned out.
Something notable about the process is that I tried, for the first time in a finished piece, a lineless style. It was super easy at first, and I thought I might even switch to using it for future works. Anything to ditch the tedious job of inking. But then as I got past the flat color stage I really struggled to add the amount of detail and contrast I wanted, and I ended up spending more time on it than if I had just done the inks.
Now, I wouldn't be opposed to using the line-less style again, but maybe I'll just keep it to my sketches and smaller pieces from here on. 
Anyway, I hope you guys like this (late Valentine's?
) piece! Here's to wishfully hoping I'll be posting again here soon.www.deviantart.com/users/outgo…

How absolutely beautiful! There is such a timeless story, I feel, to these character's interactions which is incredibly romantic! The Lady in the Moon seems so elegant, serene and soft, while her hopeful Star has such an eager, excited expression as he offers the glowing flower from his tiny celestial garden. Maybe she's been wistfully lonely until he came along? AHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!
AND YOU WENT LINE-LESS!! Although it took a lot of work, in the end you really did achieve the perfect amount of contrasts and highlights because at first glance I couldn't tell this had no outlines. Great job!! Not to mention you always have a keen eye for colors, and I'm particularly drawn to the soft aura around the Moon and her pale lilac dress, and the flow of her hair is gorgeously done too.
I'm not sure if I've complimented you yet on how you do starry skies, but my word, it's cool how you can use textures and different colors to make the open blackness of outer-space honestly have depth. It looks genuinely infinite, without being like a blank slate, you know? TEACH ME! Dazzling!!
I'm wishfully hoping to see more from you soon, too, AC!! XD Take care, my friend, and keep up the awe-inspiring work!!

You translate the "feel" and texture of things really well, like her hair and her dress are done beautifully.

D'aww, thank you! I never thought anyone would ever compliment me on that aspect of my art. I've struggled with pieces coming out kind of flat so this is a huge encouragement. Thank you.

Thank you, that's very sweet.
I still feel kind of bad though, cause I know that some people have started watching me for the Zutara feels. Hopefully the inspiration will come back and I can put out a few pieces for all my fellow Zutara fans.

I love this the artwork is so phenomenal it also has so many different interpretations that it is beautiful. A man trying to reach someone who is out of his league or a man who fell in love with someone different than him Romeo and Juliette West side story. This art is one of the best I have seen if this was an acrylic painting I would buy it and hang it up in my house.

Aww, thank you, those are awesome interpretations, especially the second one. I've always been a huge fan of the whole opposites attract sort of thing.
Well hey, if you want it's available in my Redbubble shop. I haven't uploaded a lot of my pieces there yet, but this one is up.

You are welcome and thank you for the compliment yea I kind of like the whole different culture opposite thing too it makes a good read. I will buy it when I get everything settled new house blah blah. Oh I seen that you are from Antipolo that is strange because Antipolo is my favorite place in the Philippines actually it is the only place in the Philippines that I know. Give me a heads when you finally do a erotic Zutara picture I will buy that for sure Hell I am still waiting for an erotic picture.

That's actually pretty surprising, cause most of the time the only places people know about in the Philippines are the beach destinations, like Boracay and Palawan. So pretty good for you.
Sure thing. If I ever get an idea and the motivation to do that type of picture you'll know.

Thank you thooooough I only know it because of you. Though that's basically everywhere people will know rio Brazil I don't want to attempt to spell the rest from memory but yea usually people only know tourist spot. To be truthful I really don't care for the Philippines you are the only one who makes me go the Philippines maybe such a great place if Art came from there I mean she is so nice fun to talk to. Hell if it wasn't for you I would say I give up on the whole country. Without you I would be thinking that Philippines was just a black pit full of scam artist. To make a long story short a women named Joan tried to con me out of 20 bucks the first time via Facebook I don't know how much she would have tried for later. Though I though she was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen I was even thinking of learning filipino for her so it would be easier to talk to her after I told her I couldn't do that she blocked me on Facebook truly sometimes I think what if I did give her 20 bucks I somewhat miss her Hell the thing I miss the most is what she said about the length of my penis it was a good pick me up for me since I don't like myself. Hell to be truthful I kind of want to tell you the size I know you probably don't care shrug.
So in a sense I want to thank you for keeping the idea that all Filipino people aren't so bad and that Philippines can be such a great place so I thank you from the bottom of my (Filipino word for heat) and from the heart of my bottom you get it.
Well I don't know about motivation but I can give you ideas Zuko and Katara making love under a palm tree in the position spread eagle with katara doing either A) grabbing one of her boobs B) playing with her clit or C) all of the above.
