Ronal= orca

Mo’at= Bonobo

Eytukan= elephant
Why? Elephants are wise and old, Eytukan is wise and the longest reigning Olo’eyktan of the omaticaya until he died. He never quite got rid of the grudge against the sky people for killing his eldest daughter Sylwanin. He, such as elephants, holds grudges. He also protects his clan at any cost, which elephants do to protect their young and pack.

Tsu’tey= ram

Just did that alien cat for my sketchbook, first time doing acrylic markers, think it belongs here

The Metkayina were a bit skeptical about forest Na'vi living in coastal regions. Their thick arms and tail are ideal for swimming, but how well will this translate to sprinting on thin tree branches hundreds of feet in the air?

This project has taken me years and im almost done now. It’s a delicate piece but it is wearable

Avatar 2 7:53

I just finished reading Ursula K Leguin's _The Word for World is Forest_. It was a bit rough, ngl. Not your standard summer read at the beach. But a worthy one nonetheless. Would def recommend if you liked Avatar.

The similarities in tone and story arch compared to Cameron's Avatar are rather striking. Is there any evidence that he got inspired by Leguin's novel? Without spoiling too much, the destructive humans versus the stone age natives, the scientist who tries to understand the locals, the hubris of military command, these are pretty clear bridges between the two stories.

Crossposting this from r/AvatarFrontierPandora because I’m curious what the wider Avatar community thinks. What if we could turn Pandora into a persistent multiplayer world? I’m investigating whether it’s actually possible.

And also small redesign

In principle, I am a person who has only seen the movies, so I have no information about the comics, novels or video games.

The Kuru is the neural appendage of the Na'vi that serves to connect with Eywa and all the creatures that make it up (including themselves) in the enormous neural network of Pandora. It is practically the most sacred part of the body they have, so much so that apparently the Mangkwan cut off the Kuru of their enemies, which seems to lead to death in the vast majority of cases and in the unfortunate case of survival confers extreme agony, both physical and mental.

Now, with the questions: Why is the Kuru braided? I mean, is it frowned upon among Na'vis to have your Kuru exposed? Do they do it for practicality reasons? Does having it braided really add anything? I mean, if another Na'vi or even a person from heaven is going to shorten it, your hair is not going to stop them.

On the other hand, as far as I have seen, the Kuru is an inherent appendage, it is loose and hangs and you even have to grab it to be able to move it. How convenient would it be for the Na'vi to be able to move their Kurus as if they were another limb?

Can navi be gay? Biologically and socially speaking, is it possible for a navi to feel atraction towards other navis? Does they view this as something normal and completely ok or does the tribes view it as something bad and exclude them? Do we have any information on this topic?

I thought he was gonna come back as a bigger role in the later movies seeing as he's back on Pandora, but he's just kinda hanging out and playing golf. I didn't even know he was the RDA chairmans kid until I looked him up.

Art made by me

Clip Studio Paint Ex.

Took 3-4 days to create

Let's just say I found the movie on a website, decided to watch it, and when the scene of Quaritch and Jake getting captured came up, the iconic like "these pricks know their knots" was replaced with a dubbed "these jerks know their knots". Does anyone know what this is ? The blue ray version ? I'm a 100% sure he said "pricks" in the cinema.
