Description "There's somethin' 'bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
you walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah, Oh yeah

We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first, Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress, Fearless." - Fearless by Taylor Swift

THIS WILL BE A PRINT SOON. Please keep a watch at more StoreEnvy account [link] when it'll be available to purchase, along with several of my other fanworks

IT’S DONE IT’S DONE IT’S DONE. I’m so happy with it, but I’m so insanely tired right now. Over 20 hours in two days. But I think they both turned out well, especially Zuko. The redesigned clothes killed my hands though. Zuko wears WAY too much gold. GUH.

I'm very proud of the background too. No references were used, all done with good old fashioned horizon lines! Did you notice the turtleducks down in the water?

I also fixed a few things from the lineart, like Katara's foot, which was crooked. Thank you to everyone who gave their input on Tumblr. It really helped out a bunch, and helped me catch a few things that I didn't notice before

Hopefully I’ll be able to make this into a print soon. And now it’s BEDTIME.

BTW- I really think adorkable Zuko is well, adorable. I can only imagine what’s going through his head right now. Someone should, you know, totally write a fic about this. I'd adore you.ZUTARA FOREVER!

Okay this is creepy. This song literally just started playing as soon as I scrolled onto this deviation. It's fine e art work, even if I don't really support the pairing. I love what you did with Katara's hair here, and the turtle ducks in the corner are so cute too!

This totally reminds me of a picture that I did for a similar pairing, Hiyono and Kousuke, who are characters in the series Spiral - The Bonds of Reasoning.
I was going to link it to you in the interests of flagrant self-advertising, but I just looked at it again and it's far too old and rubbish... Sorry?

Anyway, I love this. The song is brilliant, and so is your picture - full of movement and drama. The only things that I'd say are that Katara is a bit too creepily thin around the waist, and that she and Zuko look rather bright for their surroundings. other than that, perfect!

tae- In reply to foldedflowers [2012-11-25 00:55:41 +0000 UTC]

Haha, that's fine! I actually have watched a few eps of Spiral and really liked it (but was too poor to keep buying it, lol)

Thank you so much! For some reason the sketch was right anatomy-wise but I inked her waist...wrong. I think it was the wrap?
