Zutara Fun
So I'm a geek. And I love complex relationships. For a mostly children's show like Avatar, Zutara is fairly complex. And I like it that way.
So I'm going to do a fanfic. It will be fannon, since Bryke made Kataang canon. Which doesn't make sense. She's like his mother!
And I've done fanart (See below). It's getting me attention on DevArt...gah... the temptation to give in to "get more favs!" is....almost overwhelming. But since I'm not Bri-chan or Messa, I think my status as unknown nobody is safe.
Here's my latest Zutara drawing. Yes. I'm still digging the reference photo I used out the hard drive to give proper credit. Close your eyes children, you're parents might skin me alive.
So yeah. I'm a geek. Complete. Total.
