Artist's Comments

(I hope this shows up okay. My monitor is kinda weird...) I've been sitting on this (unfinished) sketch for who knows how long. It's still an unfinished sketch, actually, but I wanted to color it for the longest time. So, I winged it despite the lack of finishedness. Still deciding if I like how it turned out or not.

Alternate, darker, version in scraps: [link]
Original Sketch: [link]

Originally, it spawned from a single line (Shall I pity you, then?) which I had jotted down somewhere, and which has since evolved into roughly this: "The spirits believe I owe you my pity, for you are merely mortal. You will know the ills of humankind; you will know of suffering, hatred, fear, and disappointment. Your eyes will cloud with the tears of sorrows that come with the passing of those you love... In time, your soul and your memory will fade from existence. Should I pity you, then, because you will suffer and die while I shall live eternally?"

To which the answer would have been a 'No. I pity you. For, while I will die, you will never again live.'

I didn't always like Yue. When I first drew this, I think I was first really starting to like her. I like her more and more each time I see her, or hear Sokka speak of her. (I'd also like to cosplay as her someday (gosh, what a wig that'd be, though)). She's fun, especially in the same work (fic/pic) as Suki. They're...old skool, really. The season 1 holdovers. They kinda planted the flag first, so to say. And they both got to kiss Sokka. ^_^ Who wouldn't want to do that?

...*gasp* No "but"? Usually there's a big "but" attached to the rear of your comments, Booly.

Thank you. ^_^ (the lineart is poopy...they wouldn't cooperate, so I never did finish it... but thanks all the same). I'm glad you likies it, my chibi. You need to inspire me, though, to do something not Sokka, Suki, or Yue (and the desktops don't count). Please?
