"Dark" Avatar Series: Zutara

EDIT1:
After getting 3 hours of sleep, I added more lace trimming to Katara's dress and Zuko's sleeve. Also, the bow was a nice simplistic touch. I'm keeping Katara in light clothes because it's a great contrast to her dark skin like Zuko's clothes are a nice contrast to his light skin.

I hope they still look like Zuko and Katara.

How do you like your Zutara done? Answer at my poll: [link]

This was really inspired by Mike and Bryan's labeling of Zutara as "dark" and "intriguing" and this song: [link] (ending to Vampire Knight). Creepy and weird - but that's expected from MANA. (I'm still a fan of Yuuki/Kaname since 2006, btw *spoilers*!!!!!!!!onetheoryholdsthatKaname'sbodyisYuuki'srealbrotherandKanamehimselfisn'tYuuki'sbrother!!!!!!!!*spoilers* ). However, this isn't really as dark as I'd like. >_< Katara's messing up the mood with her white dress.

Katara's dress was supposed to be more of a Sweet Loli, but it's half-assed because I didn't want to bother with all their accessories. (NEEDS MORE LACE, DAMMIT! ) WHERE THE HELL IS HER OTHER ARM?!?!?!? ...Oh, there it is - hiding behind her skirt. Yes, I copped out of drawing her other arm because I got too sleepy. >_>

So, here you go. I had to take a break from doing my Zutara comic since that gets tedious real fast, and voi la! - instant Zutara goodness. Hope you guys like it! If not... then I'll have to try harder... *goes back to coloring the rest of the comic pages*

The watermark is there and it will stay like that for everything I do. I don't care if you won't watch/fav it because of that fact. If I spend so much time doing something with little sleep, I would be mad as hell to see someone steal it.

As usual, I don't own ATLA, but I do own these fanarts. I have not slept for almost two days working on this. So, if you steal it, I will sic my zombie-like ass on you.

The story behind it is perfect. Zuko would make a good Kaname, though he would have a bit more softness.

When I was 7, I thought Zuko was a monster in a teenager's body, but when I was 9, I saw him as a complex yet kind(and totally hot) guy.

You know something? I love this picture. I really do. And I don't want to, because I HATE Zutara. Alot. But I can't dismiss the beauty of the picture even if I want to. Hats off to you for this.

Good job,
From a Loyal Kataanger.

Actually, wait. Nevermind. Ignore my last comment about how I thought it looked like a manga cover.

Sorry, that was really stupid of me ;_; The manga I was thinking of was different. I just remembered that it looked familiar because I had seen this before >_>

Wow. I'm really sorry cause I also feel like I insulted you and I didn't mean to. ;_____; sorry!

MidnightStarsXx [2012-09-14 04:49:25 +0000 UTC]

I know you posted this like... four years ago but...
This reminds me of the cover of a manga I read a couple months ago. It was about vampires, I know that. But it wasn't Vampire Knight. The little girl in the cover (who is Katara here) was the vampire and the guy (who is Zuko here) was the human looking after her or something.

... I can't remember the name of the manga and it's annoying me .-.

I really love the way you drew Zuko and Katara in this though :'D Honestly, I like the whole light and dark contrast thing in their clothing which reminds me of ying and yang and that's sort of how I thought of Zutara before

I love this so I'm going to favorite it~

I've never read any manga, and haven't watched much anime either, so I really wouldn't know, but whatever you described reminds me of Blood+. It is, after all, about a "young" vampire girl with a guardian of sorts. [Although he isn't entirely human.]

Now that I think about it, it does sound like Blood+ I really liked Saya and Haji's relationship (:

I like that her arm is missing, and that shes in such a light colour. I don't think it is bad at all. Mostly because that obstinate look on her face makes it look kinda like a Netorare. And i like that ^///^...

I wish there was more NTR of those two...actually...

OMG!! The VERY first thing I thought when I saw this was "This reminds me of Vampire Knight!". BTW, I will always be a Zero/Yuuki fan. But anyway, I love the way you took two characters that I have absolutely fallen for and turned them into different versions of themselves. Your picture is so intriguing and interesting to look at. Yes, I can see where you skimped out on some things, but come on you hadn't slept for two days! And although it is missing some detail, the idea is absolutely wonderful!

I love it! My love for Zutara will prevail! Zuko is like a vampire, and katara is like a mistress/maiden and Zuko's girl. Like they're both royalty and of royal descendents and he's a vampire and she's human but like has some vampire in her! I can make so much with just this. By the way, you're free to use this idea for anything.
