Modern AU obviously. Inspired by all the pictures of Zuko breakdancing out there and the fact that I can't find any modern AU with Zuko and Iroh together. Reference of skateboarding poses from Google images and the stakeboard calender my friend got me :D

I'm really please the way this came out. There a background, action poses and detail too :D Now if only I could do some dynamic perspective and give Iroh an expresion which isn't a grin -.-U The skateboards are supposed to represent Iroh and Zuko hence the Fire and Lightning which Iroh can bend and way that they on opposite colours show his inner balance. Zuko's board has the Blue Spirit because I see it as his halfway point, not Li the tea boy or Zuko, prince of Fire Nation who is a total angsty screw up (and I mean that in a loving way :D) but the BS which is his free and untamed side.

Wow, your work with your colored pencils is beautiful. I love what you have done with the whole thing. The representations on the boards would have been what I would have chosen if I had thought of this. :P

The only thing that seems a bit off is Iroh's nose, but it isn't enough to take away from the image. Great job!

Brilliant :D Awesome use of colors and Iroh on a skateboard is a win to begin with

I really LOVE this! I am an old skate betty, so I can fully appreciate this scene. The deck art is dope and appropriate.

Thanks. I was worrying about that. Why did skateboard designs have to be so darn complicated?!?!

Zuko has seen the bad, seen the good and has finally decided he just like the bad better ;)

o.O there's breakdancing out there? I thought Zuko only did breakdancing on the Sims...

"Free and untamed side" that's such a cool description!

"Li the tea boy" made me smirk.

(load faster, darn you, computer so I can leave comments on the actual picture rather than the artist comments!! Stupid 24K dial-up...)

Can I steal Zuko's skateboard? If I had one of those I might actually learn how to skateboard! Oh, sorry, not steal--"blue spirit borrow".

:worship: Hail Fire Lord Zuko! :worship:

Drawing people is my second-most coveted talent, next to firebending.

:rage: And down with Zutara!! :rage:
