Aang and Katara ship sets sail

This was drawn as a wedding gift for my good friend (and cohort) Alison Wilgus! She asked some of her artist friends to draw various couples from popular culture that she finds "adorable" to be used as table cards for the wedding reception. So this was my contribution (and my wife, Raina drew Princess Tutu and Fakir!). I'm not really into shipping persay (especially when it divides fandoms) but I am a fan of cute relationships--which I think Aang and Katara definitely have! And the idea of them combining their bending skills to sail a toy ship was too appealing to resist. That's teamwork!
I had a lot of fun drawing the characters and am much happier with the way Aang came out compared to my previous efforts. Yay for the power of love and friendship!
