I've been working on this one for a while.
I wanted to post it before the internets become hostile with spoilers.

I DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED!!!!!



This is a scene from Fandomme's fanfiction Stormbenders. At this point you should just expect more Fandomme related fan art from me. She's an amazing writer and has captured my imagination.

STORMBENDERS, CH.7:


"Is that your uniform?" he asked.

"Yeah…" She plucked at it. "I think it would be better for the beach than work, though."

Zuko's expression hardened, then he gave an odd smile. "Would you please excuse me?"

"Uh… Sure…"

He turned and Katara saw him make his way toward the kitchen. He disappeared through fabric panels that coasted in the breeze. She frowned after him. A moment later, she heard a distinct thump against the wall and the sound of crashing dishes. Then silence. Finally Zuko emerged carrying something that looked suspiciously white and tent-like. "Look what I found," he said. "It's an apron."

"I know what it is," she said. She hooked it over her head and started tying it behind her back.

"Do you need help?"

She blew air past her teeth. "Please. No." She turned around. "See? My knots are fine."

"Yes. Yes they are. They're very…" Katara made a half-turn and waited for him to finish his sentence. "Tight," he said. He mimed pulling strings taut. "They're very tight knots."

Zuko knows his knots! He got a lot of practice tying people to trees and stuff ...

I had to redraw the entire background early on....
I reread the text, and the scene happened on the stairs so ...
I tried to capture the lantern lit Blue Sparrowkeet interior ... that's why there's a hint of blue. Well, that and ZUTARA! I learned a lot with this drawing. On to the next one. I think I'll have plenty of time to draw .... until JULY!!!!!
