22 Katara/Zuko Avatar icons (from the Korean animator unofficial art)

[22] Katara/Zuko Avatar icons. From some art done by the animation director of The Southern Raiders for a Book 2 release event. Image procured by the awesome [livejournal.com profile] primuler, our contact in South Korea! :D Thanks!

TEASER! Icon 003 TEASER! Icon 018 TEASER! Icon 020

I think this art is gorgeous and so, more icons from me. When I found out it was drawn by the animation director of The Southern Raiders, it all made so much sense. An episode dedicated to establishing a friendship between Katara and Zuko! Where they were already animated looking a little older! The exact same color palette as the ending scene! No wonder he drew them up some Future!Art. (And of course, right after I finished these, the image came out in a slightly higher quality. Because I'm impatient. XD Damn, that would have saved me some time.)

Oh man, with The Ice Is Getting Thinner lyrics. You are officially awesome. Letmefriendyou?

[identity profile] topazera.livejournal.com 2009-05-17 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, friend away! I'll friend you and your awesome Brick icon back! :D

The Ice is Getting Thinner is a pretty sad song to associate with such a squee-inducing picture but it does look melancholy. And, in my mind, it's in reference to their previous relationships ending, as I'm shameless. XD

AH

Oh my god you recognize Brick. Ilu. Hard.

I have a theory that now that Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard are engaged, he has to write a frickin' happy song. He never. Ever. Does. Ever. The Sound of Settling so boppy and happy sounding and its abou the most depressing thing ever.

But yes, the lyrics work perfectly. :)

Brick rocked my socks. I love the dialogue! Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing lead didn't hurt.

How could you not write bubbly, happy songs when you're engaged to Zooey Deschanel? Sorry, Ben Gibbard, I can no longer believe your life is only made up only of angst! ;)

Hee, I totally bounce along to "The Sound of Settling" and then some days the lyrics just hit me afresh and it's like "Oh, right." It's deceptive like that!

These are gorgeous! I took #3 and credited :)

[identity profile] topazera.livejournal.com 2009-05-18 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :D

PRETTY. And the lyrics! Death Cab for Cutie! GAH.

My choice of music for the picture is Mika's Happy Ending, but that is so not important (and less happy and more angst is implied in that song)

[identity profile] topazera.livejournal.com 2009-05-18 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the Death Cab. I try to resist putting by them and Stars on everything I do... but it's a losing battle. XD

Oh man, I love the music recs I'm getting on this post! I actually didn't realize I knew Mika's "Happy Ending" until I went and listened to it. That song! I can definitely see that song with this picture too.

*smiles* I'm pretty much in love with Death Cab since Gossip Girl uses 'The Ice is Getting Thinner' in Gossip Girl's finale :D

The picture is just full of inspiration, truly :)

[identity profile] topazera.livejournal.com 2009-05-18 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Death Cab is one of those artists that I always find myself drawn to putting on while I'm photoshopping. It's interesting but calming. Which is a) probably why I listen to them so much and b) why they end up on so much art.

I fully expect that there will be icons/fanmixes/banners/drabbles (I WANT ANGSTY FIC) centering around this picture still to come. And I'm very okay with that. ;)

Hee, I'm glad that you and puppet Zutara approve. XD

[identity profile] marbles-chan.livejournal.com 2009-05-18 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
pffft o8 made me giggle out loud. Now my brother's looking at me funny. Thanks a lot.

Choice for lyrics is very melancholic indeed, but that makes more sense than my idea of A Day Late (http://www.imeem.com/people/DJ83qv/music/68IkYNrs/anberlin-a-day-late-acoustic/) by Anberlin :|b

... And the art just looks more and more beautiful whenever I look at it, gah.

/snags a million

[identity profile] topazera.livejournal.com 2009-05-18 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hee, thank you! I actually had a bunch more funny ones but didn't wind up posting them because I thought they were too a)dumb or b)petty. XD

Ooh, I didn't previously know the song, but I can see that fitting it really well. The lyrics are very in-character. Okay, we're all going to have to make angsty fanmixes inspired by this picture, aren't we? ;)

Snagging # 18. Thanks!
