Description
Drawing a happy Zhao is freaky. It is good it never lasts very long.Page original size 5,5" X 8".
Rough pencils. Grey shading, lettering and word ballons done in Photoshop
These pages done for fun, and also as a good exercise in storytelling and planning on such a long scale, which I had not really done before.
I am not planning on inking, cleaning more or coloring them. I simply do not have the time.
The Avatar universe belongs to Mike, Bryan, Nickelodeon-Viacom-MTV.
All the characters belong to them, but a few of the extras are my own creation.

Here I thought he was going to be an old letch, but it seems I was wrong... unless he was going to use those socks in an unsanctioned manner. XD

Weheee... I prefer this Zhao instead of that angry jerk. xD I think he is a kind of cute now, without memories. (But I'm still angry, because he attacked Zuko and killed the moon spirit!)

Socks!
SO much LOVE!
...the really fun part is, since Zhao has no memories, he has NO IDEA how badly he is messing with the feelings of those around him. If old Zhao knew, he'd rub his hands in glee...but I wonder how Watertribe! Zhao would feel about it. I mean, the guy knows something is off, but doesn't know what it is and that's gotta be kinda hard. I wonder how much off that bluff and bluster is real (quite a bit I'd suspect) and how much is to cover up his own confusion about the situation...and the hurt. He has to feel that people don't like him that much and if ALL the people you interact with are kinda reserved...if you KNOW you have achip on your shoulder the size of an iceberg but you don't know why....that's gotta hurt somewhere. Even Zhao.

For some reason, he reminds me terribly of Sokka right now XD

(late reply is really late!)
He also shares a love of meat like Sokka, but the ressemblence stops there.

Zhao! He certainly knows how to charm a lady.

Hey, socks are a big deal, when you're always cold.
lol.

Oh, his skills with the ladies are legendary (not necessarily in a good way...mr. macho.).

He only turns on the charm when he wants something. People stay wary of his so called charms.

Okay, without a doubt, this has to be my favorite page.
It kind of makes you wonder if she wanted him to be hitting on her.

HAHA!! Nauja is so cute!! and Zhao looks so happy to see her! good thing he's only interested in socks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Zhao thinks only of one thing- how to keep himself warm.
Nauja would punch him away if he was being too forward with other sorts of happy thoughts...

HAHAHA!! It's freaky, but there's something kinda cute about when a bad guy is genuinely happy and in a carefree pose, haha! Socks indeed XD his little cloudy run is so adorable XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Doing a happy carefree Zhao is...really weird! It's just not his natural disposition. I mean, he's capable of it but it's not natural. Brrrr... should enjoy while we can, he's not gonna have that many types of moments.

Good thinking indeed...that, and his feet do get cold awful fast.

You have a fondness for socks?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. Socks are awesome.
... after all, was it not the great Albus Dumbledore who said, "One cannot have enough pairs of socks"?

Just a LITTLE freaked out now....0_0
Zhao and socks again....yeesh...this is the second time you've pulled "socks" as his desire by just changing a vowel. Clever.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, what can I say?
Except this time, Zhao's real desire is to keep his toes warm. Really! I swear! But it may be a whole subliminal thing on his part too...
