Makorra: Elegance

My dear friend ~sourumeito showed me her contest on tumblr, and I had no choice but to enter :') not only because she was excited about it but also because I needed an excuse to get off my butt and finish something!!

Ever since I started work this summer, I've been awful about drawing: I put it off even though I've known about this for over a month, and pulled this together over the last couple of days. I finished the sketch last night and colored the entire thing in the span of nearly 3 hours this evening. One of my most rushed colorings, as you can tell by the half-assed blurry background orz (though I did take that bokeh photo myself!). I think it turned out pretty well in the end!

Hope you like this formal take on the couple, and you must watch Korra if you haven't already~

also I don't know what it is with me and these left-heavy, side-lighting compositions for Korra fanart lol oh dear
