Description PAGE 7.
The first kataang flavored art I've submitted since September 2, 2007!

Aang's doing his Avatar thing ... but he is missed.
Katara seems to need someone to talk to ...

PANEL 6: Tattoo kiss. Like you wouldn't!


Next Page [CONTAINING MORE KATAANG] coming soon!
Why do I feel I have to warn people?
I should just put it out there!

Aang, Katara and Momo are from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I like that, even though you're a Zutaran (and one of the best fanartists of the ship), you make Kataang look good, too. I don't like it when people portray Aang as someone he's not; i.e., a heartless jerk or a grudge-holder.

Aang looks so...MANLY. AMG. XD I love pictures of him grown up. It makes the actual ending of Avatar easier to accept...sort of. /weeps Very nice job! He looks so calm and Avatar-ish (and hawt) and I'm looking forward to the next update!

(sorry, bad english here
Mmm.. I liked the kataang, but... sorry but Aang looks so weird!! in panel 3 and 5 he looks... like a statue! he looks like he has no emotion... but I liked penel 6!! it looks sweet! ^^ have you seen other "older Aang"s in DA?

Oh! and I thinks he's growing hair right?... to be honest I would have prefered bald Aangy! XD

I like the Kataang! keep going!! (even if I know that in your story they will break up for some... very strange reason xD )

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Drisela In reply to avkanar00 [2009-05-21 21:46:57 +0000 UTC]

Well. Maybe Aang looks weird because I tend to draw them in my style rather than straight up animation cell style. Also, Aang has been meditating and studying up in the highest parts of the temple for a few days. That's why his hair is growing out a bit.

He may seem statue-like because:
1. He was just in a trance.
2. He has lived, traveled and snoogled with Katara for like 4 years already and just seeing her doesn't make him flip out like it used to. I think I drew some admiration in his eyes.
3. He's listening to Katara.
4. He's 16. The age at which they would have told him he was the Avatar. If you think back to what we know of the airbenders they definitely had senses of humor but most of them also displayed an inner peace. I have seen some older Aang art here and there. I don't exactly go looking for it though. I like my interpretation to be a fresh perspective.


(Why would you think they're going to break up?)

2. oh?! you think 4 years make lovers get bored of each other? O.o

Why? this is a Zutara story, right?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Drisela In reply to avkanar00 [2009-05-24 17:19:34 +0000 UTC]

2. No. Not bored. But it's certainly not like first crush love anymore.
Love doesn't stay the same at all times and forever. It grows and/or sometimes fades.
The people in love grow and change too. (especially from 12 to 16 years of age.)
If you're lucky you grow together ...
But if the nature of love was constant, no one would break up EVER.
And that's just not the case. [I'm not just talking about my "Zutara" comic anymore.]

There's still one more page left in this Kataang flashback.
And there's no fighting or 'boredom' in it. So, like love, enjoy it while it lasts?

Drisela In reply to RainyMemories [2009-05-20 21:13:50 +0000 UTC]

Well, it helps me understand the ship. It's not that I don't think they would be good together. And of course we always saw how much Aang wanted her. I feel any adverse feeling I have about Kataang are because 1. I liked Zutaran chemistry better. 2. The development on the show was ... meh. 3. The overwhelming WANK rained down upon a simple fan like myself by both other fans and the shows own creators. ...
So, I'll draw Kataang with my Zutaran sensibilities.
Since I'm creating this, and I know how it ends, I'm not the least bit disturbed by it.

Awww it looks sooooo great!

Older Aang looks perfect! I like your Aang better than the original one!

And Katara looks lovely as well, her outfit looks really airbender-style to me. Kind of like the girl version of Aangs outfit.

And Momo is so cute in the 5th panel!!

You know, you actually make me not hate Kataang 0_o

Drisela In reply to BluePiratePrincess [2009-05-20 23:22:47 +0000 UTC]

Well. You haven't seen 'my Aang' do much yet.

Katara (who will have several costume changes)
is sporting her water/air nomad spring look.
Inspired by Avatar Aang's infamous robes.
It's an asymetrical light blue dress cinched at her tiny waist.
Revealing her crisp white under garments.
I'm having to much fun with this.

Momo loves Katara too!!!!!!!!!!








We'll see who hates what after the next page.
