Hey I know it’s been years since you’ve been here and I didn’t know you were the artist for one of the many taang pic I love. The one with the prego toph carrying a big rock giving Aang one of the many shocks of his lifetime. I just want to drop a line on how awesome of an artist you are.

Thank you so much for dropping a note! It can be hard to trace down all of an artist's work since we tend to post our newest/best works and leave the old ones on older websites like Deviantart. I don't post on here as much anymore but I do plan to use it as an archive of my older artwork. And I do really love Taang and its fandom so I will try to contribute more when I can! :)

Sky High x Zutara Collab with @do0hwa

Literally took me an eternity to finish my portion (she was finished in like a weekend rofl) but here's the completed scene!! I'm really happy with how it all turned out and despite me repainting mine so many times, I feel like I got back into the groove of digital painting and it was pretty therapeutic ☺️

2020 vs. 2007

Let the moon be your guide... new vs. old version! :)

Hey! Your art is really beautiful but Katara looks really really whitewashed in the last Bluetara piece you posted...

I agree that in the second image (2006 version of the drawing) Katara's skin tone is too light and over 10 years ago, I was not good at shading darker skin tones. In the newer version of the illustration, I worked hard to improve on her skin tone. Thank you for your comments!

2020 vs. 2006

I can’t believe I forgot to post this on Tumblr but when I first printed my Zutara artbook, I re-drew a couple of super old Zutara pieces from when I was in highschool...xD This is the first one, based on the Spiderman kiss.

I think while watching Book 1, I imagined that Zuko as Blue Spirit would return Katara’s necklace and then... she does this as thanks. ^^

I just discovered the Reunion animatic by @hayleynfoster and I’m OBSSESSED with it!! I re-drew one of my favorite scenes from Part II💖

I feel like there’s a new generation of Zutara fans and Zutara content being made and I’m HERE FOR IT✨😆

Zutara Week 2020 Continuation: Reunion Part II

In case Tumblr can’t play the video here’s the Vimeo Link

I couldn’t help myself.

Shoutout to @crayolasaurus again and their Zutara - peace AMV. It sparked this image in my head of a continuation of Zuko and Katara’s meeting in the Reunion animatic. It kept me up at night, honestly, so I had to make this! It takes place later in the day following the events of Reunion Part I. Katara is settling in at the palace as the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador and is taking some time to decompress out in a breezeway, and after he had returned to a long day of Fire Lord duties and state business, Zuko follows up with her there. Both stripped of artifice and defenses (he’s in casual wear, she’s without her water pouch)… and they are able to enjoy each other’s company finally… as old friends… and more.

Hi, I have loved your art for years. Your so talented! Out of curiosity, which if your Zutara art did you show Aaron Ehasz and did he mention anything about Zutara or just gave that weird look like you said? Sorry to bug you on something like two years old, I’m just always curious about if there ever was Zutara consideration behind the scenes or if it’s all just a big rumor. Thanks for your art and spreading Zutara happiness to the fandom 💕

Omg thank you for the support!!  I gave him copies of all my Avatar prints, which were Avatar State Aang, Zuko Portrait, Zutara Sunset, and Zutara Picnic (from the gangster AU). He didn’t say anything haha but he tried to look appreciative I think? xD I didn’t ask him about Zutara since I already felt super self-conscious lol but I trust the sources that say that it was originally suggested/planned. If you follow the story/character arc flows, it seems like the natural progression, right? 👀✨

[yumedarling]

hiiii i just wanted to say your art style is gorgeous and fluid and elegant like dang 🤩🤩 keep up the amazing work!!

Thank you so much, I’m glad you think so!! :D I’ll do my best~

[yumedarling]

Hi! Your Zutara art is beautiful, I would love to get the art book! Do you have any left? And do you ship to australia? Thanks :)

Thank you! <3 I currently am out of stock but may do another print run if enough people are interested! Yes, I ship worldwide!
