Description "Zuko, it is time we had a talk... about your hair! It's gone too far!"
Couldn't agree more, player Iroh. He'd probably look better if I painted him with his hair up... meh.

Just finished watching all of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It is so good. So bloody good.
Here is a colour practice as an excuse for fanart. Crits appreciated especially on colouring.

Zuko is from Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender

I like Zuko's hair! XD
The way the dragon's scales shine is beautiful, and I love the lighting on Zuko's hands and clothing.

"MAYBE IT'S BEST IF WE... SPLIT UP" XD
Thank you very much! Although it was the longest part of the process it was really fun to do - using light to make things shiny X3

Thank you very much

Glad to be part of the group and to be appreciating the series. It's a remarkable show that needs to be recognised by a wider audience for it's, well, sheer awesomeness xD
It is great to see the group expanding! (despite what the movie did). And with Korra coming up soon, the series is going to be a big hit!

Haha of course xD What is your favourite episode? I really liked The Players of Ember Island. It's hilarious
Can't wait for LoK either!

AvatarLR In reply to tazrandus [2012-02-13 02:41:12 +0000 UTC]

Ember Island Players is one of my faves too!

I also really like the episode "The Southern Raiders", "The Puppet Master", "Nightmares and Daydreams" and The last three episodes! There is more but you'd be here all night reading them all. ;D

I really love them all but some of them I enjoy even more than others!

My least favorite episodes would probably be, The Great Divide,(Like all Avatar episodes it was great! but some are better than others and this one is probably at the bottom)
Next would probably be The King Of Omashu.

What is your least favorite episodes?

tazrandus In reply to AvatarLR [2012-02-13 13:40:13 +0000 UTC]

Aw, I really liked the Great Divide X3 I thought the two stories and the rivalry were hilarious!
My least favourite is probably The Painted Lady but like you said, all the episodes are great but this one unfortunately will have to get my wooden spoon award xD Still a clever episode though!

I like the shading on the colors and how the fire is reflected in the clothing and on the dragon's scales. This is pretty dark, actually, but all the fire illuminates it in a really useful way. The flames echoing the dragon's posture are really pretty perfect. I really like how this references the episode.

Thanks for the insightful response! It means a lot to me.
I'm glad the picture works in terms of movement. I'll try my best to up the contrast and balance the light and dark the next time I paint. Thanks for pointing that out, I shall be mindful of it!

This is a breathtaking piece! I love the flow of the lines, both in the dragon and in Zuko's stance. Excellent work!
