Description Let' get this story started ...

This page took longer than expected ...
I guess I need to learn to deal with life's complications better ... since it seems life will be continually complicated.

Anyway ... We begin much as my last comic began ... deep in the firenation.

Panel 1:
Buildings are hard to draw. It's a good thing I'm not an architect ... I probably should have drawn some people in there but ... this page has taken long enough.

Panel 2:
LOOK PEOPLE! Who's that curvy lady in the palanquin?

Panel 3:
Enter the lovely Katara.
oooh. she's already thinking about ZUKO!

I'll try to not to keep you all waiting so long for the next page ...

Katara and the Fire Nation Palace are from Avatar the Last Airbender.

Beautiful sketch of the fire nation palace and Katara looks adorable, really elegant. It matches the maturity of the comic I guess Xx

Very interesting start...I just have 1 question: Are not the palanquins reserved for royalty?

>< Katara, you're lucky I"m putting my mind into a different frame. I mourn for Aang!!
As for the building, kudos to you, I saw it and was like "is she serious?" great artistry. you'll get better with buildings, it's more than cool that you included it!

noooooooo. Katara is a good girl.
You don't have to mourn for Aang.
He's fine. Really.
She's just realizing she hasn't seen her buddy Zuko in a while.

Oh my god, the way you've drawn mature!Katara is breathtaking. She doesn't just look physically older-- her gaze is older too. There's a subtlety to it that I like much better than other renditions I've seen. I don't know if that's what you intended, but I love it!

The building looks very real. It must of taken a while, it's very well drawn
I think Katara's outline thingy in the second panel looks really well. The fugure looks brilliant.
And Katara looks really pretty xD Lol. I think you improved alot since I last saw the Zutara reunion thingy Well done, cant wait! ^.^
