Inspired by @good-eviening 's fic Fractures. For those who don't know what it's about, basically Zuko got jailed instead of being banished, and so the Gaang never met him. That's what I'm picturing they would think he'd look like. Basically an older male Azula who is more threatening. It also works as Male!Azula or just evil Zuko in general.
More particularly inspired by these lines (if you want to get the feeling):
I had this idea a few months ago, but then I didn't have the talent necessary to do it justice. I still don't really feel like it turned out how I imagined it, maybe I'll try again later :') Oh and this has been sitting in my program for a pretty long time I was too afraid to post it for some reason. But like, I did another thing today and I really want to post it but I need to post this first because the progress in style is really noticeable 😂
Now about the drawing:
[ID: Digital drawing with a somber and threatening feel to it. It represents a man facing 3/4, with pale skin, long dark hair and golden eyes. He is shirtless and holding a blue flame who lights him up. He has the typical Zuko scar on the left side of his face. END ID]
No, he doesn't have the hairpiece because I suck at perspective
He does look a lot like Ozai, which... Wasn't the goal, but I guess that still makes sense? I gave him the scar (but like this time we could imagine he got it while getting into a fight or torturing innocents not in the same circumstances as in canon) to differenciate them
Yes he is naked. No I can't draw muscles or nipples. Whatever.
I feel like the dark background really sells it, you know?
Also I love fire. It's so easy peasy lemon squeezy to draw it with a blending tool you just need like three different colored lines and boom! Pretty!
