One of my absolute favorite Zutara fics is The Virgin & the Psychopath by Jezehel. A few months ago I had the idea to make this fanart for it and have been working on it since. This was my first attempt at such intricate shading and landscape so I hope it came out well!
The concept behind it is an homage to 80's romance novel covers. I thought it'd be fun to create something in that vein based on this story. Since this is a "novel cover" I also created a fun little book ad for it (as you can see in the second image) to tie it all together!
If you haven't had a chance to read this story, I highly recommend it! It's a WIP but still actively updating!
