Zuko-Katara in 'Othello'

Description

This is part of my club's contest, the theme I decided was to use plays by Shakespeare and place Zuko and Katara in them. Romance theme mainly and to try to get more members involved.

This took forever, mind you.



It was all sketched out on Photoshop with my tablet and was later transfered to Illustrator for the first outline. Later it was colored in Photoshop, the outline was never transfered back to the original on account that its not fun modifying the Illustrator outline when it looks fine on its own. I could always save two versions, but I was lazy and tired...




The quote is directly from Othello, being one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, a beautiful quote really.

The image was based after one of the movie posters for the play, I can't remember which version it was so.. yeah.

Coloring was fun as always, I enjoy coloring hair. :3 and yes I enjoy putting shiny beads in Katara's hair.. all because I like to make things glow using standard brushes. I wanted them to stand out in the romantic setting by the fire place - the same with wedding ring. I even added the Fire Nation crown in her bun.

Why the 2C?
It only implies being ~Croco's version (he did not make it), but suggested I add in a fire place.
I later added in some pelts (ElfQuest inspiration; book 5 I think)

Another version will be released shortly after, and a few other Shakespeare scenes for the club, but I dont think I'd want to submit this to the club.
