Description Zuko doing "the Dancing Dragon". I really liked the movements of this technique!

I've been so excited about watching Avatar this week, especially since I hadn't seen any (even the few episodes that leaked out or whatever) since Day of Black Sun. This week has made me soo happy! Hence, I couldn't resisted finally doing some Avatar fanart~

Like I said, I really liked the Dancing Dragon "dance" from "The Firebending Masters". Note that this picture isn't supposed to be from the episode, but rather some other time when Zuko is channeling the spirit.

I really enjoyed drawing Zuko.. and coloring Zuko... heheh. No, really, this picture came pretty easy to me... 'cept the bg. Oh god, I reworked that dragon so much. Ah well...

I can't wait for that damn comet any longer~! XD

I just watched all of Avatar in about three days. And am absolutely obsessed. And this is THE MOST EPIC ZUKO ART I HAVE SEEN. So envious. Amazing. Awesome. Wonderful. Gwag!

Mind if I use it as the background of my computer?

I love Avatar so much! I'm glad you really enjoyed it! I'm working my way through rewatching the series again and am on Book 3! Man, I this show!

And thanks so much! I really enjoyed making this one!

And sure, go ahead! hahah. I actually had this [link] as my desktop for a while, heheh (well, because, I'm honestly not too fond of the painted bg of this...)

I love... lots of episodes of Avatar. LOL. I can't wait to geek out about it with you. And everything else. AUGH. I miss you.

firewolf826 In reply to bluucircles [2009-03-01 15:29:29 +0000 UTC]

Hahah, I was thinking to myself that Avatar is like the only show where I know almost ALL of the episode names, can recite many lines from, can look at an episode for 5 seconds and tell you which one it is The fact that I've seen a lot of the episodes dozens of times may tribute to this, but still...

I know! I miss you too!! But the weeks seem to be flying by, so I'll be seeing you sooner than later, right?

I think I may hold onto my friend's DVDs for a while and start rewatching it when it gets into con season. Cause it can be something to leave on in the background while I work on cosplay. I'd like to watch it over again, but there's so many other things I need to watch for a first time, you know?

Yeah, you're right. Things have been going by pretty fast already. I'll be really happy to see you all again. Just so you know, I plan on coming down the weekend of the 27th, so don't go home that weekend!

I like just having Avatar on too (the countless times it's on TV) because it's easy to watch(also b/c it's in English, lol)-- definitely something fun to have on while working. If for whatever reason you have to return those DVDs to your friend, my box sets are always up for borrowing

OH god, I have so much new stuff I have to watch T_T So, I understand. I just don't have time to devote to much right now, boo.

Oh! Yes, definitely thanks for letting me know the date so I can be like, "No, Mom, I'm not coming home no matter what!!"

You know what I realized? I'm like that with Digimon! Quotes, names of episodes, etc. etc. That's the show that I'm crazy like that about. Hahaha, man I need those on DVDs so I can watch them over again. I have them all on my computer but it's so much easier to throw on a DVD.

Ahh, thanks for offering yours out too ^^

WOO! I can't wait to see you all. I'm going to have to take that Saturday off from work but it'll be damned worth it!

firewolf826 In reply to bluucircles [2009-03-03 03:25:25 +0000 UTC]

Hah! Digimon. I really need to rewatch it (them). I loved them so much when I was younger, so I'm sure it'll bring back lots of dumb memories XD

I don't have a DVD player to use at home, so I don't really throw in DVDs when I work on costumes and such... I usually just listen to music ^_^ Strangely enough, I still own all of the Avatar sets even though I've never actually watched them *dies*

Yay! I'm glad we're worth a day's less of pay! Woot! lol

Hey, I know Sam has been saying she wants to watch it too. We should have a mini-marathon the next time I come down. Or maybe like, at the end of the semester when you guys are all done with work but before you go back home for the summer.

Ahh, I see. I usually like to work with DVDs on because I need something visually going on in the background. With just music sometimes I get antsy. I don't know why. I'm really weird.

Of course you guys are! Plus I haven't seen you in forever! I can't wait to see everyone again!

firewolf826 In reply to bluucircles [2009-03-03 04:55:12 +0000 UTC]

We should totally have an Avatar marathon! The end of the semester sounds like a good time for that, let's do it.

No, I can understand that. Sometimes music gets boring, so I need to work on getting more music XD When I get into something new, I tend to listen to that over and over again until I find a new CD/set to listen to

I can't wait to see you too! Especially for fun cosplay times

bluucircles In reply to firewolf826 [2009-03-03 05:00:14 +0000 UTC]

We should marathon a bunch of stuff. It would be great. A full week of Digimon and Avatar XDDD

I think I have a tendency of being bored with music fast. I'm always looking for new stuff to listen to.
