Description
WATER PLUS HEAT EQUALS STEAM. THE WORLD CAN BE SAVED BY STEAM.Zuko, on the other hand, is in deep trouble. XD
(Fun with the smudge brush! This was a lot of fun to draw, and it only took about nine hours from starting pencils to finishing CG job. I've been wanting to draw these two sparring in a (more or less) friendly fashion for ages, especially since the series denied me that pleasure with the Earth Book finale. I particularly enjoyed trying to make Zuko's scar blush...
For the record, I came to like this pairing long before I ever dipped a tentative toe into the fandom--my friend Hibari and I had long conversations over the summer about Avatar and these two were one of our favorite topics. Their initial main merit for us was that they could alter ENTIRE WEATHER PATTERNS in a single lovers' spat! They've been continuing to grow on me ever since.
Incidentally, I still prefer our name for the pairing--"STEAM"--to the fandom standard, and probably always will.)

*grins* It's actually taken from my featured Deviation. Eiko Carol, from FFIX, drawn all grown up in the style of Amano Yoshitaka.

This made me burst out laughing! Just imagine it. The public would know all about their arguements. "Rain at this time of year? ...looks like the royal couple are in a bad mood with each other again."
Very cool drawing, too.

*grins* Yeah, we had conversations like that, too. Vast columns of steam start boiling out of the treetops in whichever direction Katara and Zuko last headed...Sokka, Toph and Aang start prudently heading in a different direction...it's like an automatic squabble warning system. XD

If Zutara should be known as "Steam", then Taang should be known by something along the lines of "Sandstorm"
Oh, and by the way........

*grins* Yup, I was thinking about that. Duststorm was my thought, actually, since Toph has trouble with sand...

I have only the most vague idea of who these two are, and I still love this picture! Great work with the expressions! (And the smudge brush. Smudge brush is my best friend.)
