Description (There are reasons why I need a tablet...and why I prefer Paintshop Pro to Photoshop. Yeah, all the work I do is penciled, usually inked and colored with a mouse in Paintshop Pro. For some reason, I decided to use Photoshop this time and to not ink it. Oy vey. It would have been so much easier with a tablet...if I had one...but those are so expensive. Suki's costume was, as usual, villianous. My Sokka skills needs work...)


Well, you had to figure I had one of these lying around here. I mean, really. Sokka and Suki? Come on. Of course I have one.

This is actually, I think (unless another one is hiding on me), my only Sokka/Suki-ish pic. You can read what you want with Sunflowers and Mourning, but this one is more closely Sokka/Suki...ish. I don't know if I'll really ever have something that says: Sokka+Suki4eva! I just can't bring myself to commit to a real kissy piece for Sokka (Suki on the other hand...now she locked lips with Jet in a sketch I did a while back...THAT was a kiss!). This one seems almost calm...sad?...like they should hug shortly after it, give a melancholy little laugh/shrug, and step away awkwardly and say, "Bye." Or maybe I'm just in a sad mood and I'll read all my pics as sad for a while. I don't know.

Like Meng [link] I found this again when digging through my folder on the desktop comp. This one was almost finished, except for a few touch-ups. I had almost forgotten about this piece entirely except that I kept spotting the original sketch...A few touch ups turned into a full scale work.
Original sketch in scraps [link]

I almost want to consider this a work-in-progress. I may touch this up again and scrap this version...this pic, for all it's faults (I wanted them closer...leaning...everything was wrong) still might become an ongoing project.

The background is a modified screencap of...you guessed it...Kyoshi Island.

I always forget to include this, but Avatar: The last airbender (& characters!) is (C) Nickelodeon

Not quite: pencil-sketched first, scanned, and then touched up/colored with a mouse. ^^

This is an awesome piece of artwork. It's hard to believe that this was done in photoshop. Amazing work. Suki looks excellent, as does Soka. Of course, it looks like the back of Soka's head could be a little bit bigger. But it's still awesome.

i love this picture. the coloring is amazing as always. out of curiousity, where are they?

and quick critique: I think sokka might need more back of head. it seems a little squashed....

Thank you. The bg is a modified screencap of Kyoshi Island. I was, um, too lazy to make a bg that time and I had that screencap right there, ready to be used. I just filtered it a little.

And you're probably right about the head.

pretty. i love the coloring on this pic. one thing, though. if she's blushing, try to make it look like that, rather than a smudge of makeup is gone. just something that bothered me. ignore me if you wish, but it's still pretty anyway!

Aww, very sweet. I love it, they both looks fine. Great job ^^.... is it really that hard to draw Suki's uniform? *curious*

Thank you.
It's not as difficult as I perhaps claim it to be, but I always forget something, or have to fix something...and it's a lot of similar greens/browns/etc. It's just not as easy as the smocks some of the others wear ^^
