...until death do they part.

Who doesn't love weddings?

A sketch, colored in photoshop.

After H/C Angsty Goodness [link] I kind of wanted to do something a bit more cheerful, so here's the result. Katara's dress is based on a Korean wedding dress in an illustration by Dong Ho Choi (a pic from which I also referenced Zuko's sleeves), but I did change it quite a bit. I was going to have all the white bits be fur, but then I realized/decided that they were getting married in the Fire Nation, and it would be much too warm for that. I also drew her in the style that I did because I just wanted her to be wearing something... differant. It's too bad it didn't scan well enough to make out the design on her necklace. It was a firey sun rising out of the water. oh well.

Zuko was a pain in the butt. I think he took about four or five times longer to draw than Katara did, and I had to ref at least six screen shots from three episodes to get him and his scar and his crown and his robes just right. ARGH! And I know it might look a bit odd to have the scar go up into his hair like that, but considering that hair doesn't grow on burn scars, it couldnt be helped unless I gave him bangs, and that just didn't look right with his hair style, and the occasion.

All in all, I don't even want to think about how long this thing took (it took me over an hour to find the right shade of red for his robes!). I'm kind of glad it's over. I do really like it though. and I want her dress.

I think next I may draw some Sukka, because I have the deplorable lack there of on this site, but I make no promises.

Edit: I think their heads may be a bit too small... pooh.
