Description
Originally started out as a practice for painting faces while I was working on "Serenade" [link] but then morphed into a storyboard/comic/I don't know what the heck happened thing. ORZ.Well anyways, the idea is an Older/Grown Up Toph "seeing" Zuko for the first time (possibly a further continuation of the Adventure Time piece [link] ). What their conversation is, I'll leave it up to your imagination.
Bonus pic to counter the sappiness: [link]
Tools: Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop, India Ink, Sumi-e brushes, Gouache

I think the bonus pic is what really makes it, because every almost-sappy Toko moment is always brought to a record-scratching halt by Toph's sense of humour and/or awkwardness with sappiness.
I absolutely love your style for these pics. So gorgeous.

Lol! I think the bonus pic sums up why I like this pairing so much, it never dwells too long on sappiness!

Thanks! I grew up on Hong Kong films and TV dramas and they've had a pretty heavy influence on me.

Thank you! I tried hard to covey the emotions in this piece. Although admittedly I wish I could have done better with the tree. It's a bit sloppy to me... >_<

That's very beautiful. The soft colors make the setting without difficulty. The faces look amazing, too. Zuko's scar looks real as well.

Thank you! I love comics without words too. I had almost put in dialogue and speech bubbles but this works so much better.

Though this idea in my opinion has been done to death, I love the pic. Your work as an artist is amazing, and the bonus pic fit perfectly with Toph's personality, which refreshed the concept.
