Description
A much, much improved wedding picture. I like this way more than my previous Maiko wedding. Also, I realized that I've never drawn them actually kissing. Go figure. I hope it conveys tenderness and love. <3I decided to do Zuko's hair like it was in his dream from The Earth King. I've never attempted it, but I like the way it turned out. Background is from google and heh, I cheated a tad on the clothes, but not too much. DX
Inspired by the film One Night With the King, the story of Esther. I loved their costumes.
The theme song of the movie is Kingdom of Love my Shani Rigsbee and it's beautiful! You can listen to it here: [link]
The lyrics in Farsi are:
Ziba malekeh hamra he shah ba jaho jalal
Ziba melekeh hamra he shah
Miad as rah
English translation:
The beautiful queen and king are coming in all their glory
The beautiful queen and king have arrived
King Xerxes: Of all commodities love, is the most cheaply purchased.
Hadassah/Esther: If it is for sale, my lord, it is not love.
In My Arms, a lullaby by Plumb
Your baby blues
So full of wonder
Your curly cues
Your contagious smile
And as I watch
You start to grow up
All I can do is hold you tight
Knowing clouds will raise up
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms
Story books full of fairy tales
Kings and queens and the bluest skies
My heart is torn just in knowing
You'll someday see the truth from lies
Knowing clouds will raise up
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms
Castles they might crumble
Dreams may not come true
But you are never all alone
Because I will always
Always love you
Clouds will raise up
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

Maiko is my favorite ship. You did Mai and Zuko justice. Beautiful artwork!

I really love the angles on their faces... looks almost photo-realistic. And the veil-thing in Mai's hair is lovely!

Even though I don't ship Maiko, the mood in this art is so captivating, I HAD to say something. The warm colors, the mood, the tenderness, your style of drawing... so thoughtful and mature, yet sweet, and lovely all in one. I also love the posing and the outfits, very lovely. <3
All in all, like 12/10. Beautiful work!

This looks so incredible! I've been a Maiko and a Kataang and a Sukka supporter for so long! And you want to know something interesting? Maiko is Japanese for... dance child! Yeah! Maiko is a real Japanese name (female)! Isn't that strange?

Wow! This is beautiful. I love the colors, their expressions and just the whole gentle feel of this picture. Great job on the details! I've never seen that movie, but I might, and that's a great quote to go with this picture.

This picture is absolutely breathtaking. I love the pose/ angle/ perspective, the colors, the shading, the costumes... It's just beautiful. Very tender and romantic. Excellent job.
(On a side note, I see some moron spammed your artwork. I'm sorry- and plainly, disgusted- about that but I'm sure you understand that we're not all stupid flaming @$$holes. )

I really, really adore this picture. It has beautiful colours, great compositipon [reminds me of a Hindu wedding] and the most important thing - it radiates with love, affection and tenderness. Its my favourite adult Maiko pic. And when I think of Maiko your work automatically pops up in my head <3
[ and youre right - the song is beautiful ]
