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

LeafStranger [2011-02-23 19:38:13 +0000 UTC]

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.

lilsuika In reply to LeafStranger [2011-02-26 02:25:13 +0000 UTC]

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

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... >_<

FoxLightstep [2011-02-23 15:47:03 +0000 UTC]

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

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.
