Fanart: Zuko juggling fireballs

[alias_sqbr]

For the prompt Zuko back when he was young, angry and had the ponytail. Showing off - juggling fireballs.

This turned out way better than I was expecting. Bits of it are very slapdash but I've spent like a gazillion hours on it so at least for now am done.

Inspired, would you believe, by the amazing thanfiction drama: people kept posting his terrible photoshopped "paintings" and I thought "Wow, I could do better than that" (while I traced/copied a lot of it, the only bit of mine which is just a photo with a filter and a few strokes of "paint" is the flames. Flames are hard!)

That's good flame.

Thankyou! I read a bunch of "how to do flame effects" tutorials recently which helped a lot with making it look less blatantly fake and photoshopped-in.

The fire in his left hand looks amazing.

Heh. Thankyou, but that's the one I did pretty much no altering on at all, so I think the credit goes to the photographer :)

EDIT: Duh, of course I drew the hand. Reading comprehension is not my strong point. Thanks either way :)
