Zutara Week 08 - Mythology

Ok, so this is my first-ever piece of artwork on DA, and I think it's pretty obvious why. But, I couldn't resist taking part in Zutara week, so here, for your consideration, is what I have come up with!

So this is Katara and Zuko as Selene and Endymion. Selene was a Greek goddess of the Moon, who fell madly in love with mortal, Endymion. Some versions of the myth say Endymion was a simple shepherd, others that he was a prince (the same person living as a peasant and a prince? Hmm... sounds familiar). But of course, there was the problem of the fact that she was immortal, and he was mortal. So Selene asked Zeus to grant Endymion immortality - this was done by placing Endymion in an eternal sleep, where he would remain forever youthful and beautiful, and would wind up having dreams of the moon. This didn't get in the way of the relationship, as Selene and Endymion went on to have 50 daughters. Here we have Endymion, dreaming of his lover the Moon, and Selene, smiling at the thought of visiting Endymion once more.

Zuko and Katara are copyright, property, and all that other jazzy stuff of people who are not myself, and have much more money than I.
