Description Edit:
*I have some small 5x7 prints of this for Youmacon 2011. If you'd like something larger, please leave a comment*


March Avatar Art Jam: Fire Nation --> [link]

Sane or insane, Azula will always find a way to escape and come after Zuko and her throne. It's her nature.

*Full view to see her face properly*

Finally done. I've been working on this on and off all month. (Most of that time spent on the lines and trying to get the angle right.) I wanted to add some nice blue lighting, but it would completely change the lighting and I'm just not up for that at this point. XD

I didn't want to use her old uniform, so I just dressed her in something small and simple and Fire Nationy.

Pose referenced from [link] by
(You should check out her gallery. Some seriously cool poses and angles.)

Photoshop and cintiq tablet.
Many hours.

Out of artistic curiosity. How did you draw that like that?

Honestly...lots of study and practice every day for many years.

Sorry, I don't have much put together in the way of tutorials, but here's an older one on my drawing process: [link]
And one on my digital art process: [link]

Thanks but not quit what I meant. What I meant was the angle in which you have drawn in to make it look like a shot from above.

That's cool.

I don't think I could write Azula reformed. Not after Zuko reformed already.

Truth be told I haven't figured how it would hapend as well (Mai and Ty Lee visiting her in jail would be part of it) but I think the writers on the show were talented/ballsy enough to try.

Hey, are you still maybe running the Jet club? I have some new Jet sketchies. I <3 Jet. Have you considered making it a group? They are MUCH easier to run. No more uploading and submitting other people's pics.

sylvacoer In reply to lilfirebender [2010-02-10 14:24:23 +0000 UTC]

I should update the club... But changing it into a group sounds pretty challenging.

lilfirebender In reply to sylvacoer [2010-02-10 14:31:31 +0000 UTC]

I've only started a group from scratch, which was very simple and surprisingly fast.

Um, I'm not sure about converting. I would think that you'd just have to start a new group. You can copy over the journal info into the blog really easily. You'd have to come up with the group rules for joining and submitting works.

As far as converting, you could probably just get away with posting a journal in the club informing members that you're switching to a group and asking them to join and submit their Jet art in the new group.

Can you imagine what would happen if Azula walked into the modern world at this second?

You say she's 14 right? I wonder what would happen if she were a freshman student right out of ACMS going to Benjamin Russell High School?

Yes, Azula will always find a way out ^^ It's her nature.
I feel like a guard that has jus been slayed or something xD Or I'm very wounded.
Some blue lightnings would have been nice, but I understand why you're not up to it. This picture is nice and arrogant, too She looks so much down on us that she doesn't even feel like showing it xD
Fantastic pic!

lilfirebender In reply to MetsukiNiiro [2009-06-28 15:45:52 +0000 UTC]

Sure.

It looks nice, but...if I'm reading right, you put someone else's sketch in your gallery? Generally if you color someone else's work, you just link back to their drawing in your colored version, otherwise it looks like you're taking their work.

Oh, I see. It's a collaboration. Interesting.

You should post a journal entry with information. Might help draw more interest into your project, both the writing and the artwork.
