Just like Zuko and Iroh did after Azula's first attempt to capture them.

Wow! I sooo did not see THAT coming!

But I love it! Aaah, please, once draw Mai with this short hair from front too, I'm sure it would look amazing.

I have another question (I feel like I'm bothering you with my questions lol) well it's more of an idea really, an idea for a comic you could do in the future or something? Obviously it's Zutara but this time it's about "the last dragons"...would you be interested in hearing it?

Just letting you know, you might wanna link page 20 to page 21. There's no link.

pinkwolf1620 [2011-05-19 10:55:48 +0000 UTC]

I know that this isn't to do with this page but I do have a question...how old are Katara and Zuko? I thought they would be 16 and 17 (2 years after they have seen each other) but in the Aang flashbacks it says it's been 4 years after Ozai...maybe I'm reading it wrong?

Drisela In reply to pinkwolf1620 [2011-05-19 16:53:20 +0000 UTC]

Diverging Paths takes place 6 years after the fall of Ozai.
So they are 20 and 22, in the current storyline. But for some reason they hadn't seen each other in the past 2 years.

The Aang Flashback took place 4 years after the fall of Ozai.
Right around the time Zuko and Katara had last seen each other in our current storyline. Am I just confusing you more? In the current storyline Aang is 18 years old.

I like her oddly sensual backless dress, it makes her seem more human in that odd way.

I bet she spent the next few weeks playing with her hair, wondering why her head was so light and where it all went. (I've cut my hair from waist/butt length to shoulder length a few times before, and that's always how I react. EVERY. TIME.)

Echoing what others have already said about Mai looking good with short hair and the symbolism behind cutting hair and cutting ties. Also sorta reminds me of the scene in Mulan. Looking forward to the next page and getting back to the main story.

I thought so too, Thanks.
Her angular features match an angular cut.
Of course she's probably going to want to even it out.

jennibare [2011-05-17 16:15:02 +0000 UTC]

Wowza! More epic than I what I was expecting. Well done! It almost mimics Zuko cutting off his top knot doesn't it? I simply love her hair and that dress.

I can't wait for the next.

Drisela In reply to jennibare [2011-05-17 17:05:15 +0000 UTC]

It does mirror Zuko's own ponytail cutting. They are severing ties, and the cut hair is the outward representation of a new independence. The noble woman sets out on her own adventure of discovery.
Next page coming soon ... You remember it don't you?
