Zutara Week 2020 Day 6: Affirm

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

Having second thoughts about this one because it is a bit more niche (I know everyone has their own headcanon for Zuko and Katara’s future together and this is just mine), a bit more indulgent, and SO cheesy; the dragging-a-loved-one-to-a-special-place-while-they-keep-their-eyes-covered-and-then-you- tenderly-tell-them-to-open-their-eyes trope for instance… Leave me alone; I couldn’t help myself. Haha I think we all know that Zuko would not abide Katara not getting an honorary statue if she was his Fire Lady. >.> This animatic gets in and out quickly, since I’m still working full time, and also at the time, I had quite a few prompts left. But now that I’m working on a Reunion Part II, I kind of wish I could have saved this one for later, but oh well, I gotta post for the prompt!

Further explanation below the line

You know what’s the best part about the Agni Kai that screams ZUTARA? It’s these; Zuko reaching out for Katara even with all the pain he’s in and Katara reaching for him in desperation even with Azula on the offensive.

“I’ll leave,” he says, and he turns back and leans in, “as soon as you tell me to leave.”

So March is the birthday month for both Alex and Henry, and rather than do separate art for each, I held a wee poll on Twitter to see what scene people wanted to see drawn out most in hopes I could combine my efforts and do a comic adaptation of it. When this moment of the book won by a landslide, I instantly knew I was going to pay for my folly. This scene was a beast to draw and took the entire month to paint thanks to a) royal bedroom, b) soaking wet Alex, c) nighttime lighting, and d) ANGST FACES.

I admit to rushing through the environment on this picture. I’m still feeling sick and my eyes were pretty angry at me for making them stare at a screen to finish it (which, I suspect, is why I made this scene so dark. Lol). But I tried to nab the humor of this, one of my favorite moments from RWRB. :)
