Description I used to have a nice seal on top of that letter- but it used to be Ozai's seal. So, unless Iroh was re-using his brother's papers or seal, it really didn't make much sense to have it there.
But it did look nice.

Page original size 5,5" X 8".
Rough pencils. Grey shading, lettering and word ballons done in Photoshop
These pages done for fun, and also as a good exercise in storytelling and planning on such a long scale, which I had not really done before.
I am not planning on inking, cleaning more or coloring them. I simply do not have the time.

The Avatar universe belongs to Mike, Bryan, Nickelodeon-Viacom-MTV.
All the characters belong to them, but a few of the extras are my own creation.

I like the details of the lettering, and Zhao's formal bow. Well drawn! This page especially has some good background detail of the surroundings. Makes the comic have greater depth.

I have no credit for the lettering- just a free one found on the web that looked asian and was somewhat readable.
Thanks!!

Shame that it would be demanding way too much for the note to be in Avatar-script...XD It looks fine, though. Gets the point across.

Oh %#%$! I couldn't possibly do a proper Avatar script to save my life. Hurray for free fonts!

Iroh sure has a perfect handwriting.
Naturally. It's Iroh.

Cool page.

Iroh has way better handwriting than the font I found, I'm certain

And yet, despite being the tea-lover that he is, Iroh is still going to be keeping an eye on the traitors....i love the panel where Zhao bows in gratitude...very...reverential...

oh...another glimpse of ZukO!...Excellent work...

It's also amazing that one gets the idea that there are raging flames in the Fire Lord's throne room because of your great gray shading..

Yup, never underestimate Iroh!
Zuko only gets glimpses- that's a firelord thing (based on the few snippets of Ozai we've had in the first two seasons)

Wow. All of a sudden I wish he was a banished prince again.
