Description
Because sometimes the one who gives comfort to others needs a shoulder to cry on, too.The basic pose was referenced from an illustration that I love by Dong Ho Choi from "Herdboy and Weaver" (both because I adore the story and because I'm useless without references), so it may have something to do with that.
Also, it's my first ever sketch colored in photoshop! Yeay me!
NOTE: Tite changed. This peice was previously called "H/C Angsty Goodness" as a stand in title because I couldn't think of anything else. H/C stood for "hurt/comfort." Still not sure I like the tite.

Nope, just weird fanese slang. lol. Hot/cold would be oddly fitting for Zutara though.

Yup. It's the yin yang ship. Cheesy? Perhaps a teeny tiny little bit, but that's part of what makes it so fun.

Thank you very much. And in regards to their stiff hands, that's what happens when I get frustrated with hands and give up and make them boring. I probably shouldn't have done that, but what's done is done.

If only this could have happened in the cave. I would have surely died of zutara happiness.
Great job!

Thanks so much. I'm very glad you like it, and that you feel that I did what I was aiming to do (i.e., show compassionate Zuko).

Zuko came out nice, but Katara's anatomy is off.

I know. She was kind of a pain to draw, since I didn't really have any referance to go by for a person sitting in that kind of position. What, exactly, do you think is off about it, other than the fact that I'm not really sure what happened to her right leg? I think her torso is too long, or thin, or both or...something. After a while I just kind of gave up on that part of it and decided I liked the rest of it enough for it to be good enough (for the time being).

Her torso is large in comparison to her limbs and her foot is far too small.

Hmmmm...yeah. I'm not good at drawing people from the side. Next time I guess I'll have to work in front of a mirror or something to get those kinds of proportions right.

Thanks. Actually it never really occured to me for there to be anything for them to say, or for it to have any real context (aside from the story that had the illustration that I reffed, which is about two lovers who are only able to be together once a year, and in that, is rather sad, but mainly I just liked the pic), but sure. Though, I suppose, if you, or someone wanted to, and did the dialogue in a seperate deviation, like, a copy with wordbubbles inserted, or a text submission (i.e., a fic), then that would be fine with me, but I would want credit for the original, and a link sent to me, so I could check out whatever had been written, cause that'd be wicked fun. I'd love that.
Sorry for rambling. I'll shut up now. Thanks for the comment, btw.

Awww, it's very cute. ^^ I like it a lot, even though I haven't seen any Avatar. XD
Do you read SG1 fanfics often? Or at all? I've seen some people use the hurt/comfrot thing, but seeing as I'm bad with acronyms I wouldn't have known that's what it meant if you didn't say so. XD
Sorry for the long comment. o.o Nice drawing! And good coloring job especially for a first try.

I dont mind long comments at all, dont be silly Lucca.
And thanks, by the way.
Yes, I do read SG1 fic, and rather often, and h/c is my fave. Why do you ask? Do you read it? If you do I've got some wicked awesome ones I could reccomend; if not, oh well.

Hmm, well, I haven't in the past, but I'm always up for finding new fandoms to obsess over. So if you have any good ones to recommend, go for it!

I see the hurt. I see the comfort. It is very clear which emotion primarily matches with which character. The moment has been captured.
It is moments like this (hurt/comfort moments, I mean) that are more romantic than any other. "Angsty Goodness" melts me like butter.
