Description
I wanted to change her hairstyle the first time I saw it. It looked like too much like a reject of Sailor Moon's hairstyle.The haori actually covers most of Mai's sitting position which kinda throws the eye off the anatomy. I drew her figure on top of the haori to double check, and I was just being paranoid. I would love to have one of those, but I'll just have to settle for my thick blankets.
And I bear no ill-will towards Mai. I just happen to like Zutara more. Like, Zutara >>> Mai.
EDIT
DAMMIT, I seem to have a problem with my gallery where I can't add folders or put deviations in the folders. :/ The dA helpdesk said they were working on it, so I'm refraining from spamming their inboxes. *sigh*

I love the way this turned out. It's emotional to boot! The hairstyle you chose for her is beautiful, relaxed, and almost makes her look more subtle. The Kimono and the details in it are very pretty. At first glance, I didn't recognize this was Mai. Still love it.

Thanks for the love! I guess taking away her panda-eared, geisha-looking hairstyle just took away 95% of what makes her Mai, huh?

Haha, it's her little trademark, but I just adore how you made her look so much more mature now. And you kept true to her eyes, the piercing gaze just screams "Mai" everywhere!

I love seeing her hair like this. I was not fond of it in the show either.

Thanks I didn't know if they were trying too hard in giving her a good hairstyle or not enough.

I don't think there's any explanation good enough to justify it. Haha.
I still don't fully understand how you'd get your hair to do that....

It defies the laws of rational hairstyle...laws.

YES. Yes it does.
XD
...Now I can't stop thinking about it...
If you had designed her, would you have done the same hairstyle in your picture for the show?

Hmm, I think I wouldn't because that would make her prettier than Azula who happens to be the main villainess.
ARGH! There I go contradicting myself when I just stated that I hated her hairstyle in the show. Then, let me just say that I'd probably style it differently. Less...over-the-top-weirdness.

Haha. True, true. And Azula would not have been friends with Mai if she was prettier than her. Crazy superiority complex. *shakes head*
Not entirely contradicting! I wonder if they just did that since it was easy to keep drawing, no matter if she was fighting or looking bored. And they had to make her stand out...somehow...
