Description EDIT: I lost the lineart to this.

So I don't know if I'll ever finish it any more than you see here, but plenty of you seem to like it as-is, soooo...

Envious? XD I have nothing to envy, I assure you.

But thanks! ....Honestly, I feel kinda bad about this drawing right now. A lot of people like it but... I can't find it to finish it. I might have to completely re-draw it and I'm not looking forward to that.

No, I understand that O.o
But, I already like it now, it's not like it's 'missing' colour Or anything else for that matter

The perspective's a bit a off, but it's alright as is too. I just would like to finish it (to the point that I really like it and think it's the best it could be) eventually. Thank you!

I think Zuko is perfect perspective wise. I agree with Razmere on Katara's hips and there is something not quite right about the way the wall Katara is sitting on is drawn. Did you use anything as a reference? If you have any action figures you can position them in the same pose and you can actually see how it looks.

suiseiusagi In reply to Youkai-Slayer [2008-03-13 06:54:14 +0000 UTC]

That's a good suggestion, but I'm actually action figure-free. I used to have some, but the closest thing I have now are Hamtaro and Cinnamoroll plushies. Somehow I don't think they'll cut it. I had an real mini-model at one point, too. Hmm..

Yeah, the wall looks strange. But I don't know what to do with it.

(And I really wish I had held off the pic completely while I waited for responses, because I totally see the hip-thing now. Ah, well. Live and learn...)

Thanks all your input. It really helps.

If you're not American, I wonder how I get to your house so fast..

I'm looking at this and picturing the 7th grade pics of Sailor Moon and shiz.. All I can say is WOW! Bchan dear, 'improved' isnt a strong enough word for ya!

Lotsa love!

Teleportation, yo?? (Besides, 'American' doesn't necessarily mean "currently in America". )

Hey, I ROCKED the Sailor Moon and the tracing in 7th grade. And I'm glad you like my new stuff. ...Now go draw and color and upload and become addicted to DA like me, dammit!

This is B-chan, abusing emoticons since last Tuesday.

I initially thought that this was an homage to Snow White when she first meets her Prince

Part 1: That's okay! Support is always appreciated.
Part 2: Well, that's not what I had in mind, but art's always up for interpretation. (I have a lovely painting of two random people that I faved because apart from other lovely paintings the two people looked like Zuko and Katara. XD *waaay too fangirl* But it really is a nice painting without my fangirling. :3)

Yup! You got the scene pretty well! 'Forgiveness' was very prominant in my mind when I was drawing.

Oh this is extreamly lovely. I do think zukos chest could be out alittle more though. and I dunno something seems off about her hand, maybe to big (sorry if you already mentiond that) but other wise it's very good, Im very jelouse hehe. I can't draw perspectives to save mah life.

suiseiusagi In reply to lemi-cake [2008-03-11 04:54:43 +0000 UTC]

Don't apologize for your critique, that's what I wanted! I agree, Zuko's chest needs to be brought forward a little. And I resized Katara's hand, it's smaller now. (<- on the actual drawing, not this WIP.)

I have difficulty with perspectives too, which is why I thought it would be a good idea to practice. But I liked the idea I had so much that I wanted help to get it the best I could. And thusly, this WIP was born! *epicmusic* lol

Razmere [2008-03-10 02:59:34 +0000 UTC]

If you make Katara's hips smaller and narrower then that will help with the perspective a ton.

Hmm.. I actually hadn't thought of that... but she's kinda curvy. T_T (Though prolly not as much as I depicted. Urgh.) Aaand, I had already inked that part before I decided to upload this as a WIP. Ah, well. That lesson is learned for next time, anyway. Thanks for your advice!

I think you shoud bring Zuko's chest foward a little bit. His hands look ok as far as I'm concerned. (of course I can't draw hands to save my life so that's prob'ly why. anywho...

suiseiusagi In reply to wittyxwitch [2008-03-09 20:14:52 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I was thinking that about Zuko's chest too. And I can't draw hands either, I just kinda wing it. Thanks for your help!

well winging it is good. being spontaneous can sometimes bring the most ever had sometimes.

The first thing I type in the tags for fanart is the title of the show... (Avatar: the Legend of Aang) I guess since 'Aang' is a character, I shouldn't do that though. Sorry about that.

suiseiusagi In reply to swan-swan [2008-03-09 20:13:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, I enter both titles for the show anyway. But don't worry, I've stopped now. At least the full titles (people looking up "airbender" would have found this too, so). I'll just put "avatar" in there and it should cause such problems. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I know you're not a Zutarian, but can you see anything to help my picture? (off-subject:I have a new picture with Mai and Katara just looking cool being colored as we speak. I hope you find it when it's done. )

I should have figured, but that's okay. I can throw Mai up on a wall, far a way from Zuko if you'd like. >:3 *I* might like that.

Tristan-the-Dreamer [2008-03-09 02:23:59 +0000 UTC]

I don't know, I like the way his hands are raised in a helpless plea.

The way the stones are drawn...I think they need to be less pararell to-the-right lines, and more getting smaller in the distance. All converging on the vanishing point, or near it anyhow. I hope you finish the picture!

There's a real cute Zutara fic on fanfiction by 7E5T3R, called "massage." If you especially like this pairing maybe you'd like it, I sure do. ^^

suiseiusagi In reply to Tristan-the-Dreamer [2008-03-09 04:19:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that was the impression I was trying to portray with his hands.

You mean the stones beneath Zuko, right? I think I agree, the angle should be more dramatic. And don't worry, I'll finish the picture for sure!

I'm not much of a fanfic reader, but if I get the urge, I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks for your help!

suiseiusagi In reply to DragonJadefire [2008-03-09 04:17:32 +0000 UTC]

(Thanks. ) Hmm.. I had wanted him to be pleading with Katara, the way Tristan-the-Dreamer says. Can you think of a different way to show that? I had noticed that Zuko uses his hands really expressively when he talks. (off-topic: Observations like that make me really happy, because it gives him a mannerism that an average person would have and makes channeling him easier! )
