Description I didn't start feeling guilty until I was putting the finishing touches on Toph's stricken eyes.

This is sort of concept art for a story idea of mine, and ohhh man am I proud of this! Maybe it's just painting easy peasy snow or using a bunch of my favorite color or maybe it's the drama, but the process went by with uncanny smoothness. I would have put even more love into it if I hadn't started so late. Even if I never get to tell that story I think this one is a story all its own. ^_^

Sokka had the same fate as his mother.

Rather foreboding when you take into account Toph can't see in snow.

Toph: Sokka?!!

I don't suppose a completely unrelated South Pole story will do? ^^ Because I am working on one. It's just very different from this one. x(

If it's got the same then for sure it will

Sorry, a word must have been lost. Got the same what? Though the comic I'm working on is definitely far less dramatic than the story pertaining to the illustration above.

JazzyGirlKataanger In reply to Maivry [2014-09-08 00:48:02 +0000 UTC]

got the same vibe, and yeah I'm more into fluff and angst the pure drama or adventure. So totally looking forward to the comic, I love comics.

The end of the story is that they both eventually go to sleep and never wake up, right?

Really nice use of colors. The whole thing is just various shades of blue and white (aside from the blood, which even in its small quantities stands out vividly), but it's so vivid, and everything is very clearly rendered, even at the small size at which dA defaulted this for me.

Perhaps after many years.

Yesss, South Pole colors are so easy to work with. I just want to draw in blue allll day long. Thanks as always for your kind comments! ^_^

Which is why it absolutely must turn out alright.

Oh man. Sokka really is ready to give his "last full measure of devotion"*. Toph is going to ream him after Katara heals him.

* = That line was from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. I felt that it was right for this scene. Can't wait to read your story.
