Description
It's finally finished! My entry for *NoSelfControl 's huge Zhao Summer/Fall Contest!This is for summer, obviously. And of course even on holiday Zhao would enjoy his hobbies: Bully annoying it-boys and set things on fire. :3
The actual idea for the realism thing came after a poll from =alexds1 :
Avatar is like totally over :C What now?
[x]Fantasize about what movie!Zhao is going to look like!
The first actor that crossed my mind was Hugh Jackman. And being not the first person with that idea just proves my point that he'd be the best cast. XD
Every once in a while I hear a fangirl scream "Jason Isaacs!!!11" (his voice actor). But let's face it: Isaacs may have the voice, but Jackman has THE SIDEBURNS! A representative survey proves: Sideburns (27%) > Sexy Voice (17%)!
For the art I heavily referenced some yellow press photos of Hugh Jackman on the beach - which is actually totally lame, I know. You'll find that thing in no time on google. I had to improvise on the face cause Hugh was looking in the totally wrong direction. So due to that it actually doesn't look much like him anymore. Hugh Jackman fans, please don't kill me. D:
On a more serious note: This was a super entertaining photo study to practice skin tones. :]

Oh man, I thought he looked like Hugh Jackman before I even read your authors notes. Lol, so good!

Hugh Jackman WOULD be a really good choice. I mean, we already know he can pull off the sideburns.

Of course I just hoped that you did not remember and I can be a show-off ... naaa *jk*
Wait a sec *runs off to get URLs of the screencaps*
*returns*
Here you go ^-^ : [link] [link]
I am quite sure they really met and talked in the past ... because we know Zhao and his ambitions, Iroh knew him, of course he would have addressed the princess as well...

Woot! Hugh Jackman reference, ftw! (I actual;y thouht back a few days to a comment on another picture I made. Something about sideburn envy [reference to Zhao and some other character] and Hugh Jackman as Logan [X-Men], and yes, I followed the link from NoSelfControl).

Thank you!
Don't know about Zuko (this isn't even supposed to be him here), but yes, for that random beach guy is would be a good choice. XD

He has an amusing shocked face nonetheless!

Wow, this is a huge jump from your style in some other Earlier works, and I think it looks good. Keep it up!

Jackman does have some monster sideburns...but he doesn't even look remotely Asian. I like how you kept true to form and left in his hairy chest.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha yeah, I'm totally aware of ignoring the Asian look. So we gotta find an Asian actor who looks like Hugh Jackman. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That'll be tough. There are only so many people who can rock sideburns like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Plan B would be make Hugh look Asian. So We'll need a super awesome make-up artist. lol

Fer rizzle. The eyes....how will that be changed.

CGI special effects? XD

Sounds good to me! Ah...but they aren't really making a movie are they?

NO WAY!!! And Shyamalan as directory...this'll be interesting.

He looks like Hugh Jackman lol (not that I'm complaining mind you!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, that was the plan. Thank you! :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And what a mighty fine plan it is!
