Description
Any anti-Zutara flames, sarcasm, and poop
"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.
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.
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.
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.

Oooo! It is dark and intriguing (I wonder how they can say that when the Zutara hug looks so gosh darn fluffy
) That's one aspect of Zutara I love - they go through ever range of emotion; it's great!
Beautiful picture! The lace looks amazing! Looks quite spooky. Wonderful job getting your theme across.

I'm absolutely in love with their expressions, and Zuko's outfit. There's something about a guy in dressy clothing that I just adore.

I love Zuko's expression. Its just so right. Katara's dress is very well done. I'd know they were them even without the description, so it is very well drawn (I think I grammatically screwed over the end of that sentence...) Lovely work.

1. I *love* that song. It's so beautiful and haunting- like an old music box.
2. I'm for Kaname/Yuuki too.
3. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Their expressions catch my attention right away and while their clothes may not be insanely-omfg-accesorized(sp), they still have that gothic elegance. (nice touch with the lace and bow.)
4. If this is what 'dark & intruiging' Zutara is, I'm all for it.

It's a really nice drawing and I know WHY you put the water mark there but STILL...
Could you maybe move it to the top of the picture so it doesn't cut across the loving couple? You do have all that space above their heads.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
Sorry, but backgrounds are easy to recreate, details are the ones that count the most. Someone had already taken my Sad Toph deviation, colored over a smidgen of her arm, put a gradient background, and voi la! Instant stolen art.

Wait, No! I didn't mean that! I know that if you're a victim of art theft you have to do what you can to stop it. I was just upset that people would go and steal like that.
It's still a nice drawing.

Wow! I really like their expressions.
Katara looking down her nose at us and Zukos eyes was what my eyes focused on instantly.
And the little details really makes this great. The bow the necklace and the lace all over Katara and the Zutara pillow really enhance the over all feel. Love it <3
