Description

...

the "Finish Avatar" project week Eighteen. Leave me a suggestion for a picture

Featured in: "Serpent's Pass" (yes... I already did one for this episode too.... but I started with the almost kiss and intended on doing it for the Seige of the North episode... then this scene came to me )

Picture's soundtrack: "She's So High Above Me" by Everclear [link] (I have no idea which show is featured in this video... but I thought it was a cute relationship, so I didn't look for a different one).
....

So... Most of the time I try to do pictures that don't need words to describe what's going on, provided you have a basic understanding of the show that it's from.

Sometimes though... words help direct the way the meaning is presented to the viewers. I think this is one of those times.

I may have made his "thoughts" a bit too passionate... I hope it's not too distracting . I just wanted it to feel as if he's thinking of the "could have beens"...

I think it's important that I added Suki's interaction at this point, so the picture is not JUST a depressing sulk... and pulls more towards a brighter future. Suki helps bring him out of the sorrow he feels, and makes him himself again.

I believe that Yue would have had a much different effect on Sokka over the long run as opposed to Suki. She wouldn't have been as tough or sarcastic, she wouldn't have been able to protect herself the way Suki did... it would have been much more tender. I can't imagine Yue grabbing him by his shirt and scolding him for kicks... and I think Sokka needed that influence to ground him.

....

I actually did two pictures for this finished picture. I did one of Sokka staring at the the moon with a huge blank spot to the right. And I did a full shot of Yue's and his embrace. I might put the embrace up as a single picture on Wednesday... It's like the most cliche almost kiss scene ever... with the whole cheesy leg pop and everything. I'm secretly really proud of it. Sooo... look forward to that

EDIT: Here it is:
