"Dark" Avatar Series: Zutara

EDIT1:
After getting 3 hours of sleep, I added more lace trimming to Katara's dress and Zuko's sleeve. Also, the bow was a nice simplistic touch. I'm keeping Katara in light clothes because it's a great contrast to her dark skin like Zuko's clothes are a nice contrast to his light skin.

I hope they still look like Zuko and Katara.

How do you like your Zutara done? Answer at my poll: [link]

This was really inspired by Mike and Bryan's labeling of Zutara as "dark" and "intriguing" and this song: [link] (ending to Vampire Knight). Creepy and weird - but that's expected from MANA. (I'm still a fan of Yuuki/Kaname since 2006, btw *spoilers*!!!!!!!!onetheoryholdsthatKaname'sbodyisYuuki'srealbrotherandKanamehimselfisn'tYuuki'sbrother!!!!!!!!*spoilers* ). However, this isn't really as dark as I'd like. >_< Katara's messing up the mood with her white dress.

Katara's dress was supposed to be more of a Sweet Loli, but it's half-assed because I didn't want to bother with all their accessories. (NEEDS MORE LACE, DAMMIT! ) WHERE THE HELL IS HER OTHER ARM?!?!?!? ...Oh, there it is - hiding behind her skirt. Yes, I copped out of drawing her other arm because I got too sleepy. >_>

So, here you go. I had to take a break from doing my Zutara comic since that gets tedious real fast, and voi la! - instant Zutara goodness. Hope you guys like it! If not... then I'll have to try harder... *goes back to coloring the rest of the comic pages*

The watermark is there and it will stay like that for everything I do. I don't care if you won't watch/fav it because of that fact. If I spend so much time doing something with little sleep, I would be mad as hell to see someone steal it.

As usual, I don't own ATLA, but I do own these fanarts. I have not slept for almost two days working on this. So, if you steal it, I will sic my zombie-like ass on you.

Yeah. Katara's light dress killed the mood, but guess since Zuko looks extra emo, it'll make up most of it.

Dang! That is good! I absolutly luv it to death! If it were a poster i would hang it on my wall! I love the way you made her dress! the colors go great w/ the surroundings and it doesn't look tacky like a lot of people's do. i really like the way it looks against her skin and zuko's outfit. Very classy , yet very elegant 2. I luv it!!!!! plz make more drawings like this one! So crappy drawers (like me, but I'm good @ anime ) can have something to try to copy but it still looks crappy and makes the actual drawing look even more awesome!

Katara's outfit is just beautiful.

Even if its considered dark, it is most certainly intriguing! :3 ((Bah to Bryke!))

hm, i got tired of VK pretty early one, despite the gorgeous art, the spirit of which you captured here and gave your own spin. I got something of a Blood+ vibe from zuzu thar, tho, i must admit.

"Dark and intriguing" - dammit, bryke gave me the perfect reason to start shipping zutara again after the ship was canonically defunct, tho i'm too wrapped up in other projects now to draw more art for them.

liliy [2008-09-13 17:41:29 +0000 UTC]

This is really beautiful; there's just something wonderful about Zuko's eyes that just draw you in and keep you there.

The pose is also great - gives you that sort of mafia/mob doll feel that seems to fit.

Thought my favorite detail has to be the red lace on Zuko's sleeve. ^_^

When I first looked at this picture the first thing I thought was 'Vampire Knight?', so I am glad that I got it a little right.

I absolutely envy the way you do lace! The picture is absolutely beautiful, especially with the soft glow to it.

I love how you always draw them so that they're glowing ^_^ Seriously, there's a light that comes out of them that just finishes the entire picture. Her dress is gorgeous, and their poses are brilliant!

This is gorgeous. And true. Honestly, Bryke, afraid of the dark?
