Artist's Comments

And finally we have another Avatar fanart. This one, obviously, is Zuko.

Zuko's my favorite character, but he whined and complained the entire time I was working on this. D: It took forever to get the right pose for him (I eventually ended up watching "Zuko Alone" several times for ideas), and even the coloring took far longer than it normally would. Then of course I kept getting ideas for drabbles while I was working. Bah.

He looks a little younger than he should (probably because of his scruffy hair) and I took a few liberties with his costume... but I think it did come out pretty well. Swords are a pain to color.

Ah well. Zuko! In all his angsty glory. Aang will be next, followed by Katara.

Zuko is (c) Michael Dante Dimartino, Bryan Konietzko, and Nickelodeon.
Art done in Photoshop CS2.

If you ask someone if they're a compulsive liar and they answer yes, should you believe them?

Isn't it scary to know what doctors do for a living is called "practice"?

Thanks. I enjoy doing the stained glass (although once I'm done with the four benders I'll probably be a bit sick of it, ^^;) it's nice and complex and I get to play with colors.

I should see if I can get the same effect using actual stained glass sometime...

Wow that's a cool image. That has to be one of cutest images of Zuko I've seen. I like the way he came out. Looking younger like that kind of adds to the cuteness of the image and that stained glass is amazing. I have to give you props for the time you spent doing that. This is definately worthy of a fav.

I looove the background, and the flames, and the pose. Zuko does look younger than he is but it's a very good picture anyways ^_^
