You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion
And you're movin' too fast

[Chorus]
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper
Makin' it harder to breathe

We cannot deny, how we feel inside
We cannot deny

[Chorus]
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don’t let us lose it (don’t let us lose it...)

[Chorus]
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah

We lived
We loved
We hurt
we jumped
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We lived to love

But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watch the chemicals react
And just like that
The chemicals react
(The chemicals react)

I've been in an EXTREME Zutara mood for the last month or two. Like seriously. Mostly because Kataangers are totally turning me off Kataang right now, jesus. Also it's pretty. I mean, LOOK AT IT. Don't they look AMAZING together? You bet they do.

So I totally got inspired to do this after listening to that song a million times. XD It just sounds so much like them.

Can I also say that this took me flippin' forever and I'm still not 100% satisfied with it? I really want to do the ship justice damn it! Ah well. One day I'll be able to.

That pose took me forever to figure out too, for the record. Snogging is hard 8(

I tried a technique I haven't used in a while with the shading. You can mostly see it in Katara's skin, IDK. I admit I like the raw, painted look a bit better than standard "cel shading" >_>;; It just looks more artistic and soulful to me or whatthefuckever. Merp.

I LIKE PAINTING WATER! I RLY DO! Fire... Not so much. When I painted this it was hyoooj and when I tried to make some fire, Photoshop and my CPU kept being all "NO YOU FAGGOT *rainbow spinning wheel of death*" So yeah, fire is pretty fagtastic, especially compared to everything else. XD

It's so prettyful and magical and full of Zutara goodness. Admit it.

Time: WAY TOO FREAKIN' LONG! I mean... Erm.... 3 hours to get that pose down, about to an hour to line, then roughly 20-30 to color/shade? IDK I did this over the course of several weeks....>_>
