Description Katara: We're gonna need a cradle. And your broadswords have to go. I think uncle has an opening at the Jasmine Dragon.

Zuko: (faints noiselessly)

----

Yup!! Ye olde Looney Toons cliched scenario -- husband comes home from a hard day at work to find his wife sitting on an armchair knitting onesies and baby socks, husband promptly faints -- retold Zutara style!! This is a result of one of those random bolts of inspiration that strike you when you're most vulnerable, like 3 am in the morning, or in the toilet, or preparing for that crucial exam the next day, & they won't leave you until they've been materialized!

Anyways, the drawing was supposed to have a comic like look, and I'm fairly satisfied with the end results. I took the liberty of adding a piece of "Stormbenders" canon to my drawing. And before anyone can yell "teen pregnancy!" this is an AU where Katara & Zuko are old and married and living as vigilantes!!

And... Tea-drinking Ninja Babies FTW?!

More Blue Spirit/Painted Lady...

...and here's what their baby looks like

Oh my gosh, Zuko's expression is totally priceless! I love how he faints noiselessly... And you added the Stormbenders necklace! 'Tis so pretty! And the ninja onesies are adorable. Katara's expression is very nice too, so soft and peaceful compared to poor Zuko's! Lol. Very nice all the way around! *fave*

That is awesome. Zuko's expression is priceless. He just walked in...all he wants is a towel and a hot meal and she hits him with that bomb shell! Beautiful detail work...and the wanted posters on the wall are a great touch! I also love the detail on Katara's clothing and necklace...wonderful job. Your pencil work is astounding.

arch-nsha In reply to Spaceroses [2008-07-08 06:18:54 +0000 UTC]

I think you've described Zuko's expression the best!! A towel, a hot meal, & perhaps an inquiry on why the Painted Lady bailed on him, that's all Zuko wanted when he walked in

Thanx for the appreciation!

lol! I dunno, for some reason (i just noticed this like an hour ago) that some of the people I'm watching; I don't get notified when they submit something! UGH!! I bet that's why. Anyways, I saw this picture and it basically cause a billion one shot ideas to hit me like a bus. It's really short, but that's why it's a one shot!

Aw man, this is just so....wow!
I wish I could fave this more than once. Everything is just so immaculate.
Look at all the detail! The wanted posters, the Stormbender necklace, the look on poor Zuko's face - it's just priceless!

The idea is such a simple one, but the result is just fab. ^_^

I agree that there aren't enough Zutara ninja fan fics out there. I've written my own, but it hasn't got much to do with ninja's. That's the sequel.
Ozai's Vengence and Stormbenders are still at the top of the list in my book.

arch-nsha In reply to Meeoko [2008-07-07 11:32:35 +0000 UTC]

thanx for the hearty appreciation! I personally thought the idea was an overly-worked cliche, but I'm glad you liked it!

Now I'm getting anxious to read sum good ninja Zutara! "Stormbenders" is my crack, but I need more!!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Meeoko In reply to arch-nsha [2008-07-08 21:53:35 +0000 UTC]

Nah, definately not a cliche - totally cool.
The whole lineart era is just not appreciated as much as it should be. Technically, you're isn't just lineart, but you get my meaning.

Well, I've just finished a Zutara fic that kinda involves ninja-ism (at least, for the bad guys anyway lol), though I won't tell you any more than that. Just working on the sequel now...
If you're a bit bored, check it out and let me know what you think.

I apollogise for any crappiness that is said fan fiction.
Uh...hope the link is working. HTML and I....we have issues. >.<
