Description
In Chinese custom, the dragon has always represented the emperor and the phoenix his mate, the empress.
----------------------------------------------
ZUTARA!
I'm hopelessly obsessed by this couple again thanks to the NYCC trailer xD.
I've had this concept in mind for a while. I struggled with starting it because I always have the urge to draw Katara in her customary blue garb, but I decided I'd compromise for the sake of concept.
(You see, it would be weird to color the phoenix blue, considering it's a fire bird.)
Red is the customary color for Chinese weddings, and the dragon and phoenix represent the duality of the couple.
So does this mean I'm hinting toward a Zutara marriage? Erm. I guess you can gather what you will! >w<
The focus is more on Katara, I tried to make it as close to my memories of those Chinese women in the soaps my mom watches. Sooo fun to design.
I'm extremely pleased with it. <3
Done in Photoshop.
Katara and Zuko belong to Nickelodeon.
(I just like to borrow them so I can put them in impractical costumes.)

Oh. Now, this is absolutely gorgeous. I read a fanfiction where Katara's spirit animal is a phoenix and it absolutely fits her.
This is incredible.
