Description Another dedication piece. This time in honor of all the mothers who would do anything for their children.

This was another one of those times where I really had to sit down turn up the tunes and kick it in gear. So again, if there's any mistakes, I'm sorry. I'm a mess.

It was a really close race between these two and the Aristocats. In the end Avatar won out cause I thought it would be a nice change to stray away from the Disney this year.
Plus I really wanted to show some love for the absolutely beautiful relationship Zuko has with his mom. There's, of course, also a bonus turtle duck.
Every piece has it's really difficult part and for this one it was definitely the background. I almost died making it but it was great practice and I rather like the way it turned out. So it was a win win. Yaaay!

 Well, here comes the part where I wish you all a very Happy Mother's Day with your moms or whoever is the mother figure in your life. Happy Mother's Day, y'all!

it's nice that Zuko and Ursa got a happy ending in the comic extension of the "Where is my mother?" question that Zuko asked his dad at the final episode. o3o

This really beautiful.  I love bond Zuko has with his mother. She was loving person and good mother to him but Azula to much like her father to have bond with her mother. I love the little turtle duck in this art as well.   Your art is dream come true.  I hope you do some art with Zuko and his uncle Iroh who more of father to him his own birth dad who burn half face off.   I think you for taking time make such great art. Know that this gift be forever treasure in billions avatar fans forever like me. I shall forever look forward to more art by you because it be crime not to. I can only hope my little comment I make here make you happy that be truly great honor.

very well drawn your very good where did you learn to draw this well.

Zuko mom was a good mother and a brave woman I wonder she could have married a sicko like Ozai.


and where do you think she is?

also have you seen all the Avatar episodes?


also out of curiosity do you take request? because I was wondering if you could draw this boy from a book I am writing who looks like a modern american version of little Zuko here.

NP, and trust me, when you're done you'll hate Ozai even more.

Aww, Crissy! This is such a gorgeous, heartwarming tribute for Mother's Day! I know no other artist that is as incredible at color schemes and atmosphere as you. The intense warmth of the sunset colors and the fitting textures in this piece are, as always, breathtaking!! I don't know how you do it, seriously teach me. I'm sorry to hear you were a mess, though. I imagine it was rough on you, sweetpea, and all the hugs and support for making it through the sad day—but I hope there were happy memories, too. All my love!

It's been awhile since I've watched Avatar but Zuko being a mama's boy stuck in my head as the most endearing, and this moment absolutely emphasized why. It was so touching, and his mother was a beautiful, strong person and I admired her greatly; she comforted and protected her soft son and still tried to reach out and sympathize with her harsher daughter. Loved her story! You captured their relationship perfectly, right in the feels, and their expressions are the best! Lookit lil' Zuko's happy face, pettin' that darling baby turtle-duck! I can't!

The scenery is beyond lovely, ugh. The perspective of all the structures and buildings is a nice break from the gardens, and you did a fabulous job on the background. You didn't die from it so yay! XD On to tackle the next background challenge, eh? XD For real, though, you should be proud of the effort and heart you put into this celebration of mothers.

ArtCrawl In reply to HaintSoul [2018-06-04 07:40:08 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! That is incredibly flattering. Cause it honestly feels like just yesterday that I was learning how layers work and wondering how the heck people could even do shading. So I'm extremely glad you like the colors. 
Oh yeah, there were definitely happy things. Despite stuff I've still got the rest of my family to celebrate and enjoy things with. Thank you so much though, for the well wishes and concern. They're appreciated and do mean a lot.

Yeah. You wouldn't think him the type to be attached to his mom. He's just so angsty.
Totally. She was a great character. Plus even though we don't get a lot of scenes with her, I feel the ones we do get are a really important enforcement on why Zuko isn't a huge ass like most of his family is. I mean, yes, he has Iroh. But they weren't solidly hanging out until his, like, teen years. So probably more of his kindness is due to his mom than I think she gets credit for. And, yeah. I thought it was really sweet, too, that even though she didn't understand her she still tried her best with Azula. 

Wheee! I'm so glad you like the expressions. Especially Kid Zuko. Cause he was way out of the box for me.  

Haha, yeah. Me not dying while doing a background is a big change. Hopefully the next one will end with me even further from death.

As always I'm super glad you enjoy the piece. Your feedback is something I without fail look forward to. Happy (supeeeeer belated) Mother's Day!

Aww, you're welcome, my friend! Oh man, from my perspective it looks as though you've long since mastered digital art, but then I understand as artists we're constantly growing, forever learning. I'd say you had an excellent foundation and a fabulous eye for colors, and you've come far—you always share such gorgeous, epic artwork!!

That's good to hear. I'm glad your family is there to support you, cheer you up, and helping to heal those wounds. I know we never forget, not really, but hopefully it gets easier. You're welcome, sweetpea! Stay strong!

He's so angsty and such a fighter, and also he spent the entire first season simply wanting to get back into his father's good graces. However, we certainly see a caring, honest side to Zuko early on, so his mother's influence is evident. It's so cute, him a mama's boy! That is so true, seeing how pivotal Ursa is to her children's lives, despite the fact she disappeared while they were still young. Such an admirable woman, and wonderful storytelling!

Ahhh, but you draw kids so well! I still look back on your piece from last Mother's Day, with the Hawkins, and my heart melts.

Here's hoping death shall not take you anymore with backgrounds. XD You got this, buddy! Seriously though, you're one of my idols for illustrations because you do utilize backdrops so well. Nothing is ever wasted or without its own lil' detail or story, and it's always fitting to enhance the moments. So you certainly don't "skate by" death there, not to me.

Oh my gosh, that's so kind of you to say! I truly adore your work and am always here for you, AC!

A wonderful piece for this Sunday - and a wonderful, heartwarming piece overall. One can feel their love for one another, from the choice of lighting to Ursa's expression.

Thank you dor capturing one of the purest relationships of a beautiful series! Long live ATLA.

Awww! This is so beautiful! I knew exactly who it was before I read the title - and I think this is perfect for Mother's Day. I loved watching this story unfold in the series. So deep, so tragic, but full of heart.
The golden light here is so enchanting and I love how you did the BG - simple shapes with the buildings. Great job! I really REALLY enjoyed seeing this piece!
