Description My digitally colored version of the lovely pencil drawing by Burdge-Bug , which can be found on her Tumblr here: [link] :]

I decided to try my hand at coloring it because jumping on this ship is pretty hard to resist and I know that if I tried to draw these two myself right now I would have worked hours and hours on the base sketch only to STILL not come up with a drawing at the same level of fluidity as hers. Goodness knows I can’t draw poses as dynamic and flowing as Burdge’s, but damn am I working on it! xD She says it’s okay to color her things so long as you credit her, but it still feels kind of weird just doing it without asking… anyway Burdge if you see this I do hope it’s okay with you xD

Sorry about the messy shading, I’ll clean it up later when I have more time and am not being crushed by homework. x); I worked on this in the early hours of the morning because I figured, hey, if I have to stay up late to work on homework, it’s only fair I get to work on my own stuff, too! That way I get to do what interests me, I get to be productive with homework, and everybody wins! And then I realized that I was losing anyway, because of my lack of sleep x) But well whatever, I’ll lose either way, so I’d rather it be this way. xD

One last note: I just loved the way she drew the characters like this as opposed to making out or something. This representation fits Mako and Korra’s current relationship in the show a lot better, and I like that. :]

Anyway, that’s all I have to say on it. I hope you like it xD

[Don't worry NinjaKasuga, your commission is coming! I just did this first because I was super inspired x) I WILL get things done this quarter, damn it! xD]

WOW! This is really amazing!   I love how it's Mako and Korra's old designs. I never liked  there new designs I always liked there old designs better. I see this art was old so I guess that's why it's there old designs lol I hated how the creator's of LOK totally ruined this wonderful couple. They were so prefect together and there romance story was awesome.   They will always be canon to me no matter what     Are you doing any other Makorra fan art just wondering

Thank you!!!! Oh man, Makorra had so much wasted potential... D: I'm glad you like it though

Omg and I just realized Mako's hair looks really stupid here, I'm going to go fix that, hahahaha xD

I will always and forever be a Mako/Korra supporter, I don't care what the producers or anyone says. In my heart, somehow they will make it back to each other. I always envision that somehow, about a year or so later in the Spirit World, Korra and Asami's relationship slowly fade back into a sisterhood, a close bond after the excitement of the Spirit World fades away. Korra realizes she still thinks about and has feelings for Mako, and with Asami's blessing, goes to seek him out. Mako might have a girlfriend, by then, but he still thinks about Korra too. The two meet, and they slowly and awkwardly restart their relationship. That would make a wonderful comic some day. Please keep this up, I'd love to see more Makorra art from you.

Haha yea, while I don't have any real problem with Korrasami, the idea of Makorra will always light a fire for me that Korrasami will just never quite touch.
And I'd love to make more Makorra art! I'm actually working on a piece right now - hopefully you'll get to see it soon, before the week is over ;]

If there's one thing I learned in life is that the old saying "those who wait are rewarded", plus having a good amount of zen goes a long way to maintaing good relationships with people. I'm no artist but I know at the very least the more complex a piece of art is, the longer it takes. A comic panel is obviously going to take more time than a stand alone commission piece because there's multiple characters, dialogue and having to stress in 2-D form movement.

So eh I can wait, sometimes the waiting sucks but in the end it's more often worth it than not. ^_~
