Oh, my! The moon! The red streaks in the sky! The shading! Their Earth Kingdom-ish outfits!f How Mai is like: "Rawr!" and Zuko is like: "Woah! Uh..." but he still likes it!

ETA: And how the highlights in their hair compliment the red streaks in the sky!

*Squee!*

[red_eft]

Thank you! I'm rather fond of the hair highlights myself, so I'm pleased you like them. :)

[recessional]

I did not realize I had a thing for hairdown!Mai. Ee.

[ex_pippin880]

I cannot think of a single character, bar possibly lion!Toph, for whom I have not gone !!! :3 at seeing their hair out.

Sexyhairbenders, all of them.

[chagrined]

That is so pretty/great. And pretty great!

[red_eft]

:D :D thank you!

[beccastareyes]

I like the colors in this. And the reflection of the moon on the ground. And the way Zuko and Mai look so happy together.

[red_eft]

Thank you! Color is one of my favorite things to play with.

[eruthros]

Awww, this is so sweet!

[red_eft]

Thank you!

[deird1]

Woo! Thank you!

*sets as background on laptop*

[red_eft]

Yay, I'm glad you like it! They're definitely my favorite couple of the series, and it was a lot of fun to draw them.

[musesfool]

This is very pretty!

[red_eft]

Thank you!

[unjapanologist]

EK outfits!! *melt*

[red_eft]

:D I figure they're taking some time off post series and just relaxing before they have to deal with all the Fire Lord business.

[zephre]

mmm, lovely

[red_eft]

Thanks!

[alias_sqbr]

This is lovely, and very them :)

[red_eft]

Thank you!

[sholio]

Oh, I love it! I really love their casual comfort with each other and seeing them in Earth Kingdom clothes. :)

[red_eft]

Thank you! Halfway through I got caught up thinking "Are people going to think that it's weird that they're in Earth kingdom clothes?" and fretted a bit. So I'm glad that you liked that. :)

[such_heights]

This is so so sweet and lovely! <3 I really love the folds in Mai's skirt and their expressions.

[red_eft]

Thank you! Interesting that you mention the folds, since they were totally the most annoying part- I messed with them so much that I can't even tell if they work anymore, so it's reassuring that someone thinks they look okay. ^_^

[pleonasm]

I love the detail of this -- the background is so complimentary to the people, and their expressions are beautiful. Mai's hair is so lovely down, and Zuko looks very sweet.

[red_eft]

Thank you! The background was kind of last minute, so I was worried it'd look slapdash- I'm glad it works for you!

[nextian]

This is beautiful. Zuko's face, in particular, is perfection -- and her skirts, and the lighting, and kjklsjd I love it.

[red_eft]

Thank you! I spent a lot of time getting Zuko's face/expression right, so it makes me happy that people notice :)

[bowdlerized]

So freakin' adorable! I love your style, and how happy they look.

[red_eft]

Thank you! That's one thing that I noticed, when I looked at reference for the picture- Mai really *does* look happy when she's with Zuko. It's sweet.

[ex_pippin880]

Nyaaaaw. :3

[red_eft]

:D Thank you!

[magnetic_pole]

Lovely! M.

[red_eft]

Thank you!

[vi]

So lovely! Mai with her hair down rocks! =D

[red_eft]

Thank you!

[miss_haitch]

I love it, especially Mai's expression!

[red_eft]

Thank you! Her expression was really fun to do.

[reflectedeve]

Aww, this is lovely. I like the posing very much (fingers! legs!), and Mai's little smirk! Really nice coloring job as well. Super sweet. ♥

[red_eft]

Mai's smirk is totally my favorite part. Thank you!

[glass_icarus]

Awwwwww. :D

[red_eft]

:D Thank you!

[yukinoomoni]

Hee~ This is just lovely. I love their expressions and how casual they are with each other!
