Description
A piece for Mother's day.Tumblr [link]
I've been drawing Avatar fanarts for a year and Azula is obviously the one I draw most. I was asked if Azula is my favorite character. NO, she's not. She's not my favorite character, she's like my daughter. That means even if she is such a negative and aggressive figure, but even though I can't appreciate her actions, I still love her.
I thought I would never do Ursa with Azula arts, 'cuz I thought that Ursa didn't love Azula in the first place, but now I think I can understand Ursa's feeling as a mother. It's never imaginable for a mother to not love her child, and what had happened between them is still unclear.
I really cried when I was drawing this, so much emotion flowed forth that I could barely carry on. I put all I've felt and understood here, hope it can translate to you.
I'm not going to finish this piece, unless something like this really happened in the show.

Thank you sweet, it's just a image suddenly come to my mind flowing with emotion in mother's day that I feel have to draw it down.
I really hope we could know what indeed happened between them that broken their relationship. I got my head conan story, but I still want to know bryan and michael's real explaination
P.S. it that a lyric or a poem? beautiful words.

First It's a little Phil Collins quotation 
I said that you are a mind reader because I was working on a story abut them same moment your picture is about...
Well I would rather want to know what will happen between the two of them. What had happen... well surly no one can blame a 7 year old child...
I would guess Ozai happened...

Oh, do yo~
you can use it as your fiction illustration if you wish

I would be delighted. Thank you!
Well first I have to finish it or more likely revise it I almost had it done but I’m not really glad whit it so far… I guess I will rewrite it I want it to be just perfect.
My dream would be to make a comic about the story I’ve got cuz this Avatar stuff as a tv series is a more visual stuff and I can’t get my feeling trough pure words because this barrier (I mean most of the people except visual art is this area. So to make people feel what you want them to fell by writing about something what was first visualised is not an easy task.)
Unfortunately I can’t draw… so I have to write and make the best of it!

I hope I could write, it's inpossible to put all my story into image....

You wanna tell me?
I’ve always admired those people who can built up one hole story and then make squeal for it.
I’m kinda person who has an idea and an essential moment I must write it down because its good… but this way I almost every day come up whit a different story line and this way I can’t concentrate on the original plan… Never mind it’s just me.
You know I was thinking you need someone who can write I need someone who can draw… why not help each other out in co-work? Well right don’t’ know how butt… just a thought…

I'm also this kinda person (who has an idea and an essential moment that really want to draw down), So I pretty understand you~
I thought about collab before, but just for commercial comic or manga, for fanart it's more about releasing personal emotion and I'm kinda stubborn and implosive at drawing fanart. So i'm maybe not a good person to collab with
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Commercial comic? What do you have in mind?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
basicly that refer to Toujin. I make one book of Toujinshi each year now with my friends, for this year it's Fate/Zero. I also sometime do bit illustration coloring, lineart provide by my commissioner, so it could count as another kind of collab.
I always wish I could do my own comic, but that's cost too much time and energe and requiring more advanced story telling skill as well, which I don't have any of them at the moment.

What’s wrong whit your story telling skills? I mean sure you have awesome story telling skills!
Whit the time problem I totally understand you.

no, not really, telling story with words and with image is quite different. I'm not saying it's more diffecult, but it's more like storyboarding use a movie kinda of visual language, that's just not something I'm comfident with.
and if you're seriously thinking about collab with people who can draw for you, maybe you should watch "bakuman" (a manga/anime tells a story of a pair of collabed manga artists, one doing script and storyboarding, and the other one making illustration), one of my favorite show from last too.

Well I know telling a story or trying to share emotion whit others either by writing or by visual art is two different things, but both need something special to be good… and from my point of view it’s more difficult to achieve it thought visual art and this way it has a heavier impact as well.
A comic is I think is a compromise between the two different way… And maybe it needs both the different talents to be really good.
I think you could manage to do a good comic.
Thanks for the advice I will think about it. Sometime in the future I want do a comic (apparently whit someone cuz I can draw XD)

Awww, this is so touching and beautiful. It's perfect for Mother's Day. I think Ursa did love Azula, just they didn't understand each other.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true, but I'm still curious what made them can't understand each other. hopefully, can get the answer in the korra show

Wow, it's so gorgeous. I think the emotion really comes across. Azula is one of my favorites characters because I can always understand where she's coming from; I think there was a lot of unacknowledged pain in her relationship with her mother.

This is really beautifully done~
Yeah, Ursa didn't hate Azula, she hated the corrupted part of her personality.

That doesn't make sense.

How can you love someone as a whole but hate an aspect of them. An aspect is part of the greater whole, remove it and it's not completed. To hate a part of a person doesn't work, cause that part is fundamental, hate it and the feeling is the same for the whole person.
You can't hate and love someone at the same time, two objects can't occupy the same space. If it is to be taken literally then it only refers to something that you love that is harmful to you, then it's not love but obsession.
You either love or hate someone. If the love is pure then it's the greatest of connections, but nothing is ever pure. If it's burdened with sadness like in this circumstance it only brings forth that frail and weak construct that is the human mind, a hopeless love is all it is.

You have a very good point.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It makes sense for me. you hate an aspect of one person sometime just because you love him/her so much. for example, lot's young people hate their father who betried their mother or focus on business but care little about the family, but most of them still love their father.
personally I think hate and love are like twins, sometimes the reason you hate an aspect of a person is because you think it ruined people you love. besides parents' love, I don't think there is much unconditional or pure love in the real world

It's lovely as it is. There's really no need to finish, it's perfect! The simplicity of it makes it better I think.

yeah, when I look back, I feel it's no need to finish it too.
and it's still not reality anyway.
