Wow. This took me... FOREVER to finish. It's my pride and joy. Aside from the crappy shadow job, which I blame myself for, it looks the way I wanted it to! I figured, sometime in season three, Zuko will figure out how to conjure lightning. This is my take on it. He's probably battling Azula and will show his new skill. My favorite part is that he's SHIRTLESS! :heart: I've had a bit of trouble with the male form, but I think I did an okay job with it this time.

Yes, those are kanji characters, YES, I know what they mean. I typed them in myself. The top characters (kanji) read as Spirit, Body, and Mind (heart). The sides read as strength, will, might, champion, honor, etc. I hope you all like this. My hand hurts from all the work that was put into this. ^^;

If you want to use, drop me a PM, and please do not take without asking!

Oh, and there's a lot of detail to the eyes, if you want to see it, I'd recommend a download. :nod:

EDIT: Increased glow factor in the lightning (attempted to anyway! :giggle: ) , created drop down shadows and a more prominent fire symbol. :) Oh and of course, corrected my name... ^^;

:) Smile, it makes a mouth happy. :)

Maybe if I wander around long enough, I'll find myself...
And once again, I'm lost.

That's very cool indeed. I really love the foreshortening and the lightning. One suggestion is you could've tried putting a soft screen glow over the lightning and make that the light source, and shade Zuko accordingly. but the way you have it is great, especially with the chest. I suck at male form
