Description
You rise with the moon, I rise with the sunI jumped onto the Avatar bandwagon, like, I don't even know how late, but I absolutely LOVE it! <33 I didn't like "The Legend of Korra" as much as the original series, but that might just be 'cuz the differences rattled me (I mean, it really is a great series too, and especially the artwork is amazing).
This picture was inspired by the above quote from book one, episode 20, and the original idea was a sort of mini-series with Zuko with the sun and then Katara with the moon, but then I started to expand it in my mind, and expand it some more, and then some more again, and then reduce it a little, and in the end it became a series of eight pictures, featuring eight characters. The series itself is inspired by tarot cards, but I don't follow quite the same imagery in quite the same order.
So this is number one of the series; The Sun, featuring Zuko, the book one version ;D You gotta love that angry jerk!

I absolutely love this picture!!! I love the texture added to the picture: it adds a very rustic feel to the deviation. The colors are very vivid and really display the theme of the art well. Also you picked a great person to draw from Avatar; Zuko is definitely an amazing character. His skin tone is perfectly accurate, along with his scar. The sun in the background is very dynamic to add along with very detailed. The gray-blue background really contrasts with the fire well. I think your picture really also captures to wildness that firebending can have. I honestly have no negative things to say about this picture except for the fact that Zuko is drawn a lot here on DA. Amazing job e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Thanks a lot!
Welcome to the club ;D Well, at least we get to enjoy the charm of not waiting for new episodes (until LOK book 2 rolls around, of course)
