Description today is traditional Chinese Qixi festval (七夕節), in other words, Chinese Valentine's Day. Here I Wish you a very Happy Chinese Valentine's Day.

so~~~Maiko again~

This is a scene that I always want to draw.
I used to not like Meiko much, but in the very last moment of the last episod, my attitude towards Mei is totolly turned over by this scene, it make me finally realize that the pairing is actully quite adorable~

Also a submition for Sexy Meiko Week:History
for me this is the most sexy Maiko moment ever!!!~

however, I offically become a Meiko fan, is because this fan-made AMV. [link] in this vedio, their tricky/delicate relationship is summared up perfectly, with one of my favorite song Super Awesome! I just can't stop watching it.~

I changed both character's custom. so Mai could look more like New Fire Lord's girl friend
and hope you like Mei's new custom I designed, feel tried to see her in gloomy dress all the time.

[Maiko] #02

To all radical Zutarian, Meiko fan, and whatever shipping fan:

I'm sorry for writting this here. and sorry for my poor english. but I really need to say this.

I personally has no bias to any character in the show, I probably present them subjective, but I also can view them in objective way. And I do love every character!

In my 10-years-anime-veiw-history, I've seen too many fans combats, and I use to be one of them. so I understand each of your feeling. but as a senior person in Animation world (sort of), I beg you to think about these two questions:

what's the purpose of watching the show?
why you love the show so much?

because of the amusement? happiness? loving? exciting? passion? touching? ....
if one of above is your answer, than go back to it! why hating, why fighting, that's definitly not something you desire, right? It has no other meaning but hurt youself and other fans.

I know even I said this, those conflicts will never stop, cuz it never has. but at least, please leave me a peaceful space here, just in my tiny gallery. please don't bring those shipping battles here! it's alright to state your interest, but please don't slander others interest here!
The best thing about fanart is it always about love. So as a delicate fanart creator, I really afraid of seeing lots negative energy here. ("those negative energy is bad for your skin!"--Tylee)
PS: negative energy not equal to opposite voice-- Any critique, suggestion, advice, character review are warmly welcomed!

last but not least,
I respect all of your pairing, please go ahead, don't stop your love, but please don't stop others love at the same time. Let's contribute our LOVE for the show not HATRED!

All in all, I couldn't be happier if you feel a little enjoy or delight from my poor works, that's the entire purpose for me spend almost all my spare time, energy and emotion to draw them.

thank you all and king regards
Kelly

I was hoping this would happen. Too bad they did break up a year later. Great drawing though!

Someone told me recently that the creators have confirmed that Mai is Izumi's mother, so later behind the series I guess they got back together so yeah~? I wish they'd make a comic dealing with the story how Zuko and Mai got back together though!

I do adore the picture, but I must talk about your large description about shipping wars as well, because it is very true. I love the show because of its character and story developments, and not just the romance. As a Kataang and Maiko shipper, I don't go to Zutara pictures and start a fight in the comments (in fact, I usually avoid Zutara overall). And even if I get a little frustrated over others' opinions, in the end I do show a little respect for them.

Speaking about shipping, I never like to be completely biased over shippings I don't like; I always want to find something good in a pairing, and learn to like it.

I shipped lke million couples throughout this show, i even ound maiko cute ever since i knew she liked zuko and as so shy as a kid. Still, since zuko is my bby, i was protective and wasn't sure about her until she saved him from Azuula. That's when i accepted her as a suitable choice, though overall they are a meh couple to me. Tht being aid, your fanart is gorgeous, i love mei's hair.

Wow. I'll be honest, I don't like Mai at all, and I don't like this pairing (I don't care if it's canon), but... This is beautiful. Your art style actually makes Mai look pretty, and like she actually has emotions, and she and Zuko actually look good together; like a sweet, loving, believable couple... What is this madness?! lol Anyway, in short, this is a beautiful piece of art... Which is why I'm faving it... Despite my thoughts regarding the pairing. Great job!

kelly1412 In reply to corruptangel315 [2012-06-25 00:55:20 +0000 UTC]

glad it sells you the pairing. I'm not a big fan of this pairing, I also feel mai's personality is very strange, but on the other hand, just feel that her personality goes with Zuko make a very interesting combination. Feels hot and cold

corruptangel315 In reply to kelly1412 [2012-06-25 03:57:46 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... Maybe, but the way I see it, their contrasting personalities would clash, rather than mix. With Zuko being proud, passionate, and so full of fire (no pun intended, haha), and Mai being so dry, quiet, and treating things with either indifference or negativity... I would think that Zuko would get annoyed with this after a while, and not be able to put up with it for any length of time, which is why I can't see a real, long-time relationship between them working. Canon or not, I just can't see it. But, I'll admit, the way you explained it makes sense too; after all, sometimes opposites attract, and work well together. And who knows? Maybe, with time, Mai's personality would change as she would grow older, especially since I felt that, once we were given a glimpse at what her background was like, her strange, withdrawn, almost "Emo-like" personality was formed mostly due to her upbringing, and how her family treated her.

Absolutely loved this scene, and you've captured it well. To me, this was a perfect definition of their relationship. Sure she can be a little pushy and he can be a bit indecisive, but the fact that they share a heartwarming, loving hug immediately after she said that just showed that they'd be fine from that point on.

And as I said, you captured the feeling well.
