Description It's done! Not only was it unreasonably difficult to decide on the concept and presentation, but was also one of those drawings that wanted to be redone halfway through. Not to mention my motivation downright died before I started. Ah, well. I've made it at last.

Secrets, hmm. Well, I couldn't help thinking of City of Walls and Secrets, being that it's such an amazing episode. I think this is more of an excuse to draw Toph in that lovely outfit, but there are still multiple possibilities to what the "secrets" are. I can keep dreaming that there was space in this scene for a moment such as this.

...on another note, the colors were murdered outside of Photoshop. There must be some terribly convoluted yet simple explanation for why pictures with more than a handful of colors don't stay the way they're made when they're viewed elsewhere! I'm about ready to do an in-depth study of it if no one else has...

I loved it, even if you claim that the lighting/colors were killed when leaving photoshop. I just noticed that Toph's not wearing shoes in this pic. I'm very unobservant sometimes.

Well, every artist complains that the color of their work isn't maintained when transferred from one venue to another... Now I'm more used to seeing it here. xD

Isn't that fun? I love finding new details, and I'm glad you enjoy it.

I like the way it plays to the theme, both of them dressed up and acting as something they're not, and sharing in it. (Not that you need an explanation, you drew the thing.) I dunno, the pose of them standing back-to-back really makes the piece for me, for some reason.

That was indeed one of my concept ideas. ^_^ Glad you like it.

You have a good point. Sometimes my tendency not to draw gushy stuff face-to-face is just what the composition needs. xD
