For the most part, we don’t really see how Bolin misses or thinks of his parents. I like to think that while Mako was closest to their dad, Bolin was closest to their mom. And although Bolin’s memories of his parents have faded over time, he can still remember her long hair, her smile, and how she always smelled of this certain special flower.

This comic was a big experiment for me and the coloring was something I decided last minute. It was actually going to be in full color but I like how it turned out with the black and white and pink. I also had cut out about 3 panels because I was getting impatient, but I'm actually pretty okay with it this way. less is more and all that. xD;

And now I'm gonna go sob myself to sleep listening to "I Want A Mom That Will Last Forever" song.


Art and Bolin's mom, Mei Lin, concept belongs to me.
Bolin and Legend of Korra belong to Bryke.

Aww. That's so touching. I love that kind of back story you inserted. That's super sweet and fitting for Bolin.

That third panel is just absolutely stunning: the bittersweet smile, the way the pink infused the panel without being overbearing, the tenderness he shared with his mother, just gorgeous.

Aww, this is a very sweet idea. :iconawwwplz: I also like the idea that Bolin was closest to their mom, and that the flowers remind him of her.
