@korrasami-week-2025 Day 1: Meet Cute/Love Confession/Kisses
I absolutely adore Korrasami’s love confession at the end of Turf Wars, so for this day, I wanted to draw that final scene of them facing the spirit portal from the balcony (but from the opposite perspective so we can see their beautiful faces) 🥰
I’ve noticed many ATLA fans comparing Zuko’s Blue Spirit mask to a Japanese Noh mask, but Bryke have actually confirmed (in the artbook) that it’s based off of a Chinese Nuo mask. Nuo Opera is one of the most popular folk operas in southern China. Its most distinguishing feature is the use of ferocious-looking masks with the costumes. The opera is a religious performance intrinsic to the practice of Nuoism, a type of Chinese folk religion. The purpose of Nuo opera is to drive away disease and negative influences/spirits, as well as to petition for blessings from the gods.
Zuko’s Nuo mask depicts “The Dragon King”, a Chinese water and weather god. That Zuko chooses to wear this mask when he’s being sneaky and underhanded speaks to how clever he can be when he’s not being hotheaded.
First, he knows that dressing up as a dragon associated with water will confuse anyone trying to identify the Blue Spirit. Dragons are a symbol of the Fire Nation, but blue and water are obviously Water Tribe coding. Is this person from the Fire Nation or Water Tribe? A person of mixed heritage, maybe?
Second, a consistent piece of symbolism within the Avatar-verse is that blue dragons are cruel and cutthroat. Sozin’s animal companion was a blue dragon, Azulon’s name means Blue Dragon, and Azula is portrayed as a blue dragon in Zuko’s fever dream. When Zuko chooses to behave in a dishonorable way (from his POV), he choose to don the face of a blue dragon.
Third, the purpose of Nuo opera is to drive away negative influences and petition for blessings. When Zuko first dons the Blue Spirit persona, he’s kidnapping the Avatar away from Zhao. If you were a superstitious FN citizen— which is not an unreasonable thing to be in the Avatar-verse— you might think that the Blue Spirit is some sort of otherworldly guardian to the Avatar. He’s exorcising Zhao’s influence and has been blessed by the Avatar with good fortune. Think about how intimidating a reputation the Blue Spirit must have thanks to the events of that night. Is it any wonder why Zuko chooses to don the mask again in the Earth Kingdom?
Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^
(1/ 3 ? probably 3) Been boarding a few different sections of the Kyoshi novels for fun, this one is based off the chapter "The Agreement." So much of it is a lore dump at the beginning but it's fun to try to make those scenes interesting to watch.
I love your art! It’s really satisfying and relaxing to look at.
I was wondering, what brushes do you use and what app/software?
hello! thank you for your kind comment, I use Photoshop and Clip paint studio, for assembling images and working with a better flow of moddboards and references I use Eagle Dot Cool and Pureref, sometimes I use Blender or PosemyArt to hep me with spatial choices for composition or when I need better 3D awareness, and for brushes I use one modifies from a random one I found online, its very cool and makes me wanna draw forever, I dont know its origin but Im very scared of losing it lol, cheers!
