yelenaboiko:

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, “golden joinery”), also known as kintsukuroi(金繕い, “golden repair”), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

[Image Description : Digital illustration of Zuko and Azula from Avatar The Last Airbender. They are depicted facing each other, in profile. Azula is holding one hand up between them, a soft shocked expression fixed on the single flame of rainbow fire dancing above her palm. Her hand is bracketed by both of Zuko’s, who smiles gently as he looks directly at his sister’s face. Their silhouettes, hairstyles and general appearance mirror each other, with similar Fire Nation top knots, except Zuko wears the Fire Lord golden crown in his, where Azula wears her crown princess hairpiece from the series, with asymmetrically chopped-off bangs framing her face. Their skin is marred with zigzagging cracks. Zuko’s are filled with the rainbow color of the fire, held together in the fashion of a kintsugi repair technique. He is whole and looks at peace. Azula is literally in pieces, crumbling apart. The cracks across her skin are dark and empty, except for where she holds the flame. The same multicolored light begins filling and mending the cracks there. The outline of the illustration is sketchy, the hair and skin drawn in solid blue and hot pink, respectively, standing out against a solid black background. The artist’s signature ‘boiiko’ fits under the X of the intercrossing outlines of their roughly-sketched robes.]

If I squint real hard and meticulously roll myself in delusion, I can vaguely imagine I’m illustrating the official comics as I draw. Sweet, fluffy fantasies.
