Description I've been working on this one for a while.
I wanted to post it before the internets become hostile with spoilers.

I DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED!!!!!



This is a scene from Fandomme's fanfiction Stormbenders. At this point you should just expect more Fandomme related fan art from me. She's an amazing writer and has captured my imagination.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
STORMBENDERS, CH.7:


"Is that your uniform?" he asked.

"Yeah…" She plucked at it. "I think it would be better for the beach than work, though."

Zuko's expression hardened, then he gave an odd smile. "Would you please excuse me?"

"Uh… Sure…"

He turned and Katara saw him make his way toward the kitchen. He disappeared through fabric panels that coasted in the breeze. She frowned after him. A moment later, she heard a distinct thump against the wall and the sound of crashing dishes. Then silence. Finally Zuko emerged carrying something that looked suspiciously white and tent-like. "Look what I found," he said. "It's an apron."

"I know what it is," she said. She hooked it over her head and started tying it behind her back.

"Do you need help?"

She blew air past her teeth. "Please. No." She turned around. "See? My knots are fine."

"Yes. Yes they are. They're very…" Katara made a half-turn and waited for him to finish his sentence. "Tight," he said. He mimed pulling strings taut. "They're very tight knots."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zuko knows his knots! He got a lot of practice tying people to trees and stuff ...

I had to redraw the entire background early on....
I reread the text, and the scene happened on the stairs so ...
I tried to capture the lantern lit Blue Sparrowkeet interior ... that's why there's a hint of blue. Well, that and ZUTARA! I learned a lot with this drawing. On to the next one. I think I'll have plenty of time to draw .... until JULY!!!!!

Is it just me, or does Katara look sexy in everything but her water tribe dress?

WOW. Everything you draw is so amazing. The quality and your style are awesome. Katara's outfit and armbands are beautiful, and the skin is so realistic. Your shading blows me away every time. You captured the transparency of the skirt perfectly. This is STUNNING!

The-Killer-Rabbit [2008-05-14 04:35:34 +0000 UTC]

This ones starting to look good. I think though it has like a glow around the figures. Use masking or selections. Don't be afraid to make nice sharp edges. Variation is everything.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Drisela In reply to The-Killer-Rabbit [2008-05-14 18:02:58 +0000 UTC]

Well, if it's starting to look better it's because I was trying to implement your suggestions. I definetly held on to this drawing longer than the other ones. I know exactly what you mean about the glow. I wanted them to look bathed in the firelight from the lantern behind his head. But I hear you on the "variation." I'm working on another illustration from this fan fic right now. (This time the guy is objectified.) But I'll try to create sharper edges, the lighting will be different too. Brighter.

Thanks for your advice. I appreciate it.

... now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go explore your gallery.

I got spoiled on accident and I was SO PISSED about it! It wasn't even on purpose or anything. I was try not to go to any spoiler pages or any of that and then some dumbass posted it in a comment that I was reading and I couldn't stop it...

I promise that I will not do the same to you!

Awesome work!

You're so sweet and considerate.
But alas, I am utterly SPOILT!

I couldn't stay away (NOT UNTIL JULY!!!)
... I'm going to post a journal about it soon.
So once again, we're all in this together.

Thanks. I'll be drawing more illustrations of OUR official CANON.

Absolutely fabu and gorgeous job illustrating that scene

I love how affected by her Zuko is-even when she isn't trying to get to him

Here's to staying unspoiled. :cheers: It's hard, but not impossible I'd say...I managed to wait for all four leaked episodes on DVD and stayed mostly spoiler free.

LOL I love how the poor guy can't speak totally straight when he's a bit flustered. It's really quite endearing!

Great job! I really adore Katara's face in this one... and man, I can definitely see why, NOW, he had problems. *snort*
