Artist's Comments

I drew this after watching the "Ember Island players", I found it funny how Zuko mentioned that Ursa used to take them to see the plays when he was younger. By how he said it I don't think he enjoyed it much, so I imagined it would be the typical happy family excursion that everyone hates (except Ursa, she strikes me as the type of woman who would like sappy love stories) but has to go.

From left to right: Azula, I think she would be complaining all the time, but secretly enjoying it. Ozai, who somehow got persuaded/blackmailed into coming (maybe Ursa threatened to show everyone his cute baby painting ) and slept through everything. Ursa, obviously enjoying it, and poor little Zuzu who thinks it's boring but is trying to enjoy it for his mommy's sake.

It was suposed to be a carefree drawing, but after the finale it leaves me with a sad feeling, knowing how this aparently happy family is going to shater in a few years.

* FinaleSPOILERS* Azula ends up completely crazy, Ozai gets his bending taken away and is left to rot in prision, Ursa is only Ozai knows where... I guess Zuko is the only one who has a happy ending.

The lighting on the fabrics is enthralling, and i love the facial expressions. Ursa's just cracks me up. :+fav:

Azula's end was sad, and Ozai should've died. Zuko's ending wasn't exactly "happy"; we don't even know if he ever went to look for his mother...

Wow, very funny, looks like Ursa is the normal one in the family, because Ozai and Zuko are taking a nap and Azula than hate all.

Adorable! And great colors. Tis nice to see these guys as a normal family, not as...their usual craziness in the show.
