Description PAGE 7.
The first kataang flavored art I've submitted since September 2, 2007!

Aang's doing his Avatar thing ... but he is missed.
Katara seems to need someone to talk to ...

PANEL 6: Tattoo kiss. Like you wouldn't!


Next Page [CONTAINING MORE KATAANG] coming soon!
Why do I feel I have to warn people?
I should just put it out there!

Aang, Katara and Momo are from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

All the panels are amazing, I really like how your drawings come out so serene.

BTW is this Aang dreaming or remembering?

Oooh. Thank you.

This scene isn't Aang (or anyone) dreaming or remembering. It's a flashback of events that happened 2 years ago in the "diverging Paths" timeline. As you know, in the current storyline Aang is 18 years old and Katara is in the Fire Nation capital with the somewhat hairier Zuko.

Well, I'm not a kataanger either.
But if you want to tell a post-war zutara story that builds on canon,
you're going to have to have some kataang in there.

He turned out pretty good

Allright yay! Will Diverging Paths be mainly Kataang? Or not? Or do you want to keep it a secret?

Perhaps you feel the need to warn your viewers due to the fact that, given the contents of your gallery, you are fully aware that most of them share your mindset, and therefore what is coming up next may not be entirely to their liking?

Or perhaps you feel a little guilty for betraying what is in your own heart?

Or perhaps I am merely over analysing things...which I am wont to do...

Regardless...it is very sweet...and it looks like Aang needs a shave

Drisela In reply to Nandireya [2009-05-20 21:33:16 +0000 UTC]

I suppose I will continue to post warnings. It's the decent thing to do.

Oh, I don't feel I'm betraying my heart ... you see, I know how it ends.

Yeah, Aang hasn't been manscaping up in the temple's highest ruins. I'm sure he could use a shave and a shower. And look a waterbender just walked up ... what a coincidence. I hope these pages are sweet. From what I've gathered of Kataang, it's what the ship is all about.

Kataang has always been less of a stretch for me than the M word. But I'll do my best to portray that which we cannot name with some respect.

I think it is good to warn people about Kataang if we are all Zutaraians.
Can i just assume this is a flashback? It seems like it would be.... I AM CONFUZZLED!!!! (thanks to myself)
This is wonderful, I love this comic-ish series.

Drisela In reply to original101 [2009-05-20 21:36:01 +0000 UTC]

It is a Flashback.
It started on the previous page.
ALL flashbacks will be blue.

I guess warning Zutarans also lets other shippers know their ship might get some play on my pages ... not that any anti-zutarans would even know what I was doing in our dark and intriguing corner of DA.

BE WARNED: One more Kataang page coming up!

Well, as long as most of the story is Zutara, i'm happy! lol

Ah, Kataang scenes...Something every Zutara Comic artist must confront at some point or another. I too must cross it some day.

You draw it really well though(As you do everything, lol), I always have loved that old piece of yours...You make Kataang look good.

Older Aang is rather cute. For some reason, this entire scene just reminds of like a Midsummer Night's Dream.

His tattoo is there. It's just light I guess.
He did grow some hair he's been up there meditating for a few days.

Daaawwwww... cuteness. I like your older Aang. Still looks like him, but time has treated him quite well. Although I have to wonder why Katara looks all... Greek. Heheh. Probably it's the clothes and all, but I was like "Katara-Persephone?"

^^ Looking forward to the next page. But MORE forward to the return of the Zutara!!

Drisela In reply to InAbsentia [2009-05-20 05:00:27 +0000 UTC]

Well, her off the shoulder toga might have something to do with her looking greek.
The crown of flowers doesn't help either.
Hmmmm Katara-Persephone calls for Zuko-Hades.

I think teen Aang would be good looking.
He eats healthy, works out a lot and he was a cute kid.

Warnings are good so we can duck for cover(random Kastaank bombs are not cool). I despise Kataang but you have to draw it to fully tell your story so I am will to live through it.

Katara looks stunning. ^_^

Thank you for your understanding.
That being said, you may want to skip the next page all together.

I guess I'll keep warning people of impending non-zutara action.
But would it keep you from looking at the page?

KaDeana In reply to Drisela [2009-05-20 04:49:35 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I am reading it all. I have to read it all to understand everything that is going on with the plot.

You have me reading Kataang. A great feat indeed.

I will probably skip the Maiko though (no I won't, but I am tempted). XD

Drisela In reply to KaDeana [2009-05-20 05:15:10 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry.
I'm trying to handle these scenes with a sense of humor. I promise Aang will never call Katara his forever girl. And Zuko will never tell Mai he doesn't hate her. Wait. That sounds wrong. ... You know what I mean.
