ID: [A digital art piece picturing Zuko and Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They are in a fenced backyard on a bright, sunny day with clouds drifting in the light blue sky, washing a fluffy white dog in a teal plastic kiddie pool. The dog is shaking off water. Zuko kneels on the left, wearing a red bathing suit, grinning as he raises his hands to protect his face from the splashed water. Katara stands to the right of him, wearing a white bikini, her hair flowing in the wind. She also has a hand raised to protect her face, while her other hand holds a hose that is pouring directly into the pool. She is looking at Zuko and laughing.]
I worked so long and hard on this piece, which is the second part of my contribution to this year's @zkbigbang! I think I sketched and re-sketched and re-did and re-referenced this image about ten times, as I really wanted to get the composition and anatomy right :') But I'm SO happy with how it came out! This piece is for Pawprints, a gorgeously written emotional rollercoaster of a fic with really fun interpretations of Zutara in modern day, with the addition of cute dogs to fawn over! This piece captured my heart right away and I'm so proud to have been a part of it <3
Please also check out my fellow artist on this piece, @soopersara, who made a gorgeous companion piece of digital art to depict the end of the fic! It's been a delight to work with you through this project!

Forest of Lights
The Avatar has been missing for a century, and the spirits are getting bold. One night, Katara watches the southern lights fall and gets trapped in the rapidly growing ice forest. On his ship, Prince Zuko sees those same lights and decides to investigate.
Soon, they run into each other in the Forest of Lights. By now, Katara has learnt that she needs to find the Avatar to save the world. And right now, the only way to do so in time is to team up with her biggest opponent – Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation.
And this is my last artwork for this year @zkbigbang ! As always, read the fic on AO3 if you haven't yet and be sure to check out the other artist work for this fic too, @addictofreading 💜

take me back, to the place I've never been
Katara jumps up, turns to where she thinks Zuko is and finds him standing two inches away from her. She sees the stubble on his chin, his Adam's apple moving up and down in his throat. 
“Oh.”
Oh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If there's an "Oh" of realization, you know it's gonna be a good story! Check out take me back, to the place I've never been, the muse for my @zkbigbang piece.

Here's one of my two art pieces for this year's zutara bigbang!! (@zkbigbang)

Image ID: Zuko is lying on the floor on his back with Katara on top of him. His hair is pushed back in a messy way, wearing a silky crimson button up dress shirt with long sleeves. Katara's hair is loose and parts of it are cascading down her back and some are hanging near Zuko's face.She is wearing a silky blue silk slip on dress. Katara is holding a short blade under Zuko's chin with her left hand while he is pointing a gun at her abdomen with his right hand. The background is a blurry city street at night with blue, pink, and purple neon signs. End ID.

A Light in the Darkness

[ID in alt text]
Avatar Zuko! Avatar Zuko! AVATAR ZUKO!
As soon as I saw the description of this scene from A Light in the Darkness with these two kiddos being sassy at each other, I knew that I had to try drawing them for my @zkbigbang piece. They're just so cute when they're being grumpy!
Obviously there's a LOT more to this fic than little Zutara sassing each other, so check it out at the link below to see lots of worldbuilding, lots of plot, lots of angst, and an eventual happy ending!

Another piece I contributed to the @zkbigbang and for @d-dulcets wonderful AU fic By Any Other Name
[ID: Zuko and Katara sharing a nice moment together in modern clothes inspired by their canon Fire Nation and Southern Water tribe clothes, sitting on Zuko’s family beach house, looking out to the sunset. The beach is in the background, with palm tree peeking out from the left corner of the house. The beach house is surrounded by sand and very close to the beach front. /END ID]

By Any Other Name
In a world where bending is strictly prohibited, Katara has always been careful about hiding her abilities. The only people who've ever known about her bending have been her family and she's vowed to make it through her college years without revealing her secret. Naturally, the person who finds out about her hidden status as a waterbender is none other than Zuko, member of one of the most well known families in the nation and a firebender himself.

I had so much fun (and spent so much time) making this piece for this amazing fic as part of the @zkbigbang ! Click on the title above to read the fic!

ID: [A bright watercolor painting depicting Katara and Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Katara is on the right, wearing a fuchsia pink traditional gown with a roped belt at her waist, her hair loose. She is making direct eye contact with Zuko, who is slightly taller than her, his black hair also loose and flowing. He wears a blue kimono over a shirt with red dragons on the collar and a long, dark skirt. He is holding her hand, touching her palm as they share an intimate moment. They are framed by the twisting branches of cherry blossom trees, and the petals float around them on the air.]
This piece is part of my contribution to this year's @zkbigbang! I felt a watercolor painting with a surreal element would be a perfect fit for this fic, Engagement Chicken: The Engagement Scheme. The story is so lovely, with one of my all-time favorite tropes, and it is written beautifully, with great humor and perfect characterization.
Please also check out my fellow artist on this project, @growingroses, as their work is immensely gorgeous! I'm so honored to have worked alongside you this year <3

We Saw a Spark
Sokka and the rest of her family sounded despairing and worried when they told Katara she made her job her entire world and purpose, but she couldn't see that as a bad thing. Her hands saved the lives of other people when they needed saving the most. And maybe it was her trying to stop any other people feeling like she did when her mother died. And maybe the times she couldn't save them felt like a piece of her being cut away and buried forever. But she didn't know who she would be if she turned her back on people who needed her. Which was why people in the emergency field who were arrogant and reckless and rude, like the scarred newbie firefighter from Spirits-Cared-Where, really got on her nerves.
And then there was a 24-hour diner after a huge fire, and a crack of something behind that man's mask, and Katara tried to squash the hope that maybe, for the first time in her thirty years, she'd found somebody who understood her world because they lived it, too.
So excited to finally sharing this piece for @zkbigbang !! Be sure to check out this beautiful story on AO3 and @logicalalo artwork for this fic too 💜

Phoenix
Tumblr media
[ID: there are two fire nation guards from behind questioning Katara and Zuko about baby Korra. Katara, Zuko and baby Korra are wearing Earth Nation clothes. Katara has a nervous smile while looking at Zuko and clenching to her bad. Zuko is talking to the guards with a serious expression while he has Korra on his left arm. Korra looks like three years old and looking to one of the guards with a bit of a defiant face while she clenches to Zuko's robes.
End of ID]
This is one of the two pieces I did for the @zkbigbang ! Is my first time participating and was a lot of fun! (But maybe I bit a little more that I could chew-)
Anyways! This pice is for the the amazing fic Phoenix:
I was insta drawn to this fic from the summary and it was an honor doing a piece for it!
I loved drawing little Korra with both Katara and Zuko, she's so cute and they are the perfect family!! Change my mind.
