Drawn for the 2022 @zkbigbang. I created this piece for the fic, “Strike A Match”. I really enjoyed working with the team on this project and watching the author’s vision come to life. It’s been a while since I’ve drawn these two, and it felt great to get back to it. Be sure to check out the fic!

Zutara Big Bang 2022

[id: digital painting with red, textured background with inconsistent black scale pattern. Two golden eyes staring at the viewer are in the top half, with the left one scarred. Below is the fic title 'Closing the Distance' in white uppercase letters. Below the title are Zuko and Katara from the waist up, posed in profiles and facing each other. They are both painted in full colour. Zuko has two horns on each side of his forehead. Both have their long hair down and are without clothes. The red background texture covers parts of their chests. End id]

Here's one of my two art pieces for this year's zutara bigbang!! (@zkbigbang)

This artpiece is for Mile of bloodshed

I drew the scene where Katara held the blade against Zuko's throat and Zuko has his gun pointed at Katara's stomach.

Please click image for better resolution

Image ID: Zuko is lying on the floor on his back with Katara on top of him. His hair is pushed back in a messy way, wearing a silky crimson button up dress shirt with long sleeves. Katara's hair is loose and parts of it are cascading down her back and some are hanging near Zuko's face.She is wearing a silky blue silk slip on dress. Katara is holding a short blade under Zuko's chin with her left hand while he is pointing a gun at her abdomen with his right hand. The background is a blurry city street at night with blue, pink, and purple neon signs. End ID.

(the one above is the fanart without the background!)

So grateful for all the support the whole project team gave to me :) Sending love and thanks to all the project members  and mods💕🥰!!

Please be sure to check out & show love to the other artist(@juune-moon) 's work :)

The Legend of Katara: Breath of Honor

I’m so excited to share this work I made for @zkbigbang​  I actually finished it a month or so ago, and it’s just been sitting there lonely in the dark.  This was fun collab because it combined two of my favorite fandoms, Breath of the Wild and ATLA.

Fic: The Legend of Katara: Breath of Honor by the lovely @cynical-mystic

Image Description:  A memory of Zuko dressed in Link’s blue champion tunic with the Master Sword at his back is hugged by a crying Katara wearing Zelda’s ceremonial white gown.  They are knee deep in water before the Goddess statue in the spring of power.

A Light in the Darkness

[ID in alt text]

Avatar Zuko! Avatar Zuko! AVATAR ZUKO!

As soon as I saw the description of this scene from A Light in the Darkness with these two kiddos being sassy at each other, I knew that I had to try drawing them for my @zkbigbang piece. They're just so cute when they're being grumpy!

Obviously there's a LOT more to this fic than little Zutara sassing each other, so check it out at the link below to see lots of worldbuilding, lots of plot, lots of angst, and an eventual happy ending!

By Any Other Name

In a world where bending is strictly prohibited, Katara has always been careful about hiding her abilities. The only people who've ever known about her bending have been her family and she's vowed to make it through her college years without revealing her secret. Naturally, the person who finds out about her hidden status as a waterbender is none other than Zuko, member of one of the most well known families in the nation and a firebender himself.

Her Name is a Stranger

[Image description: First frame Katara is pounding on a door in the Fire Palace as she yells at Zuko who is on the other side of the door. Zuko is glaring furiously at the ground as he listens to Katara pounding on the door and yelling at him. Second frame Zuko has deliver a retort to what Katara was yelling that has left her shocked and devastated. Zuko is still furious. Third frame, a zoomed-out picture of both Katara and Zuko still near the door. In the furthest left corner, their daughter Kyza is crying because she is scared and doesn’t understand what is happening and why it is happening. Katara is devastated. Zuko can hear Kyza crying, and his fury is starting to die down as he starts to process things. Forth frame zoomed-in shot of Katara and Zuko again, both are leaning against the door both realizing they have done something terrible and don’t know what to do next. Zuko is wearing the white robes for mourning a death. Katara is in a green dress similar to the one she wore in Ba Sing Se at the end of the war. Kyza is wearing an old dress of Toph’s.]

Here's one of my two art pieces for this year's zutara bigbang!! (@zkbigbang)

This artpiece is for The Complicated Way to Escape an Arranged Marriage

I drew the scene where Katara pulled Zuko into the sea and laughed while he surfaced looking slightly annoyed.

please click image for better resolution

Image ID: Zuko is seen on the left side of the image from the shoulder up while his whole body is dripping wet. On the right side of the image Katara is seen laughing, trying to stifle her laugh with her right hand near her mouth. She is wearing a silky white wedding dress and sitting on a large boulder which is half submerged in the ocean, with her feet  in the water. The background is a tropical ocean with clear blue sky and white clouds hanging above. End ID.

So grateful for all the support the whole project team gave to me :) Sending love and thanks to all the project members  and mods💕🥰!!

Please be sure to check out & show love to the other artist(@outside-your-window) 's work :)

Squid Whales

Okay, I just saw some artwork about the "Original Benders" in Avatar: The Last Airbender and was reminded of two facts:

1: There are no original waterbenders like there are for Fire, Earth and Air.

I know that Tui and La are referred to as such, but they are actually the source of waterbending, just like the sun is the source for firebending. (They are also Spirits, unlike all other original benders)

Airbenders have Sky Bison.

Earthbenders have Badger Moles.

Firebenders have Fire Breathing Dragons!

Waterbenders don't have anything like that.

2: Squid Whales (who could be the original waterbenders) aren't actually canon.

And I really wish they were.

Anyway, here are some squid whales I drew months ago:
