HALT!
Any anti-Zutara flames, sarcasm, and poop will not be tolerated. I will not hold any discussions or flame wars about different couples. This deviation is for viewing pleasure, only.

"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.

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies the curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.
