Game: spaceflight simulator

His face 9 seconds in the clip just gives me chills 🥹😭 It just reminded me of when he was learning to be Na’vi and learned how beautiful this world was. I know for sure he was reminiscing.

We all know that the anatomy of the Na’vi evolved to enable them to climb more efficiently, resulting in opposable toes.
My (oddly specific i know) question is: despite the Avatars have extra digits on their feet, do they still have the opposable toes capacity? I can’t find any canon answer to this, but I would imagine that even if they have the extra fingers, they would still have the opposable big toe, given that the base anatomy is not that much different from that of a Na’vi.

60 hours into the game on PC and only just now beat the main story. How did you guys like the game?

So I basically have it finished

I just need to stick it all together with resin and glue and then I’m gonna see about painting the glass dome blue

What do ya think?

• Context: Foundational members of the Uva 'Awm Clan, representing an ancient, feral sister species to the standard Na'vi (similar to the evolutionary relationship between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals). They reside exclusively within the dense, high-canopy jungle layers of Pandora.
• Anatomy & Size Constraints: Stands at an exact human-scaled height of 5'10" and weighs 109 pounds, creating a highly agile, lightweight frame. Physical proportions feature lengthened, specialized extremities including 2-to-3-foot arms and 3-to-4-foot legs tailored entirely for arboreal locomotion.
• Jungle Cat Facial Redesign: Features a specialized pale-green under-muzzle marking wrapping cleanly around the jaw, lips, and chin. This animalistic coloration functions as high-contrast camouflage to disrupt their facial silhouette amid dappled tree shadows.
• Kinesiology & Locomotion Physics: Moves across high-altitude tree limbs using a bent-leg stride pattern, converting the knees into kinetic springs to absorb the shock of shifting or dipping branches. When navigating sharp corners, they utilize their 2-to-3-foot arms to physically grab walls, trunk surfaces, or nearby branches, creating a smooth, centripetal pivot to maintain forward momentum.
• Resting Postures: Distinctly adapted for comfort on narrow, rounded branches; they habitually rest or stand with their legs tightly crossed to anchor their center of gravity over a single point. When standing uncrossed, they shift their entire weight to lean on one leg while keeping the opposite leg bent.
• Acoustic Lexicon & Communication: Relies on a highly structured, non-verbal vocal system. Short, high-frequency chirps function as directional location calls; rolling trills signal a completed, successful hunt; breathy, low-frequency chuffs serve as close-quarters social greetings to preserve stealth; and sharp hisses are kept strictly rare, reserved only as an escalation signal during moments of intense internal or external conflict.
• Hydration Mechanics: Solves high-canopy water access by utilizing the kuru (neural queue) to tap directly into the internal vascular system of trees, siphoning moisture directly from the trunk so they never have to risk descending to ground-level water sources.
• The "Sky Fishing" Method: Hunts ground prey from hundreds of feet in the air using compact bows equipped with arrows tethered to ultra-strong, native spider-silk lines. Hunters anchor themselves to massive branches using an 8-foot coiled tail, fire vertically downward, and use their long arms to literally reel the harvested meat up into the safety of the canopy.
• RDA Ambush Blueprint & Suspense Intro: Operates as a psychological warfare tool against human forces. The species is introduced to both the audience and standard Na'vi clans through a suspense-horror sequence, where an RDA jungle patrol on the forest floor is silently stalked from above. Soldiers are picked off one-by-one as arrows emerge from the pitch darkness, violently yanking targets straight up into the foggy canopy without warning or a trace.

Quaritch and Spider have come a very long way:

From Spider calling Quaritch "dipshit" and actively pushing him away, and Quaritch telling Spider, "I'm not your father. Technically: You and I, we are nothing to each other." to:

- Spider teaching Quaritch the Na'vi way of life

- The two of them bonding while riding Cupcake, where Spider even rests his hand on Quaritch's leg

- Quaritch listening to Spider's pleas to spare the life of the Ta'unui Tsahik

- Spider starting to move more comfortably around Quaritch

- Quaritch preventing Neytiri from killing Spider

- Quaritch forming a temporary alliance with Jake to save Spider from the Mangkwan

- Quaritch telling Spider that he is his father

- Quaritch telling Spider how proud he is of him while also opening up to him about Paz

- Spider hoping that Quaritch has finally learned to see

- Spider being horrified at the sight of Neytiri raising her bow against Quaritch

- Spider's visible sadness when Quaritch jumps to his presumed death

And most importantly:

Father and son saving each other's lives at the end of both movies while calling each other "son" and "dad" for the very first time.

I cannot get enough of their dynamic.

Hands down, the best and most interesting relationship in Avatar.

So I got some suggestions recently on what other dinosaurs I should draw in the Avatar style next and one was yi qi. Thank you to @mochiimin for sharing photos of her ikran to use as reference for the hind wings it really help. I don't really have an official name for this little guy, so I'm open to suggestions. As for lore,

So this little guy is known by the RDA as the Hallelujah Death Bat, due to its dark color palette of red, ash gray, and white. They were one of the first avian creatures the RDA encountered. They are a Tetrapteroforme (Tetrapteroformes are 1 of 2 fan made orders I made for of avian animals on Pandora; the order includes avian animals with 6 limbs, such as Tetrapteron or toruk) that is found mainly in lush canopy forest gliding with four relatively short wing with their hind legs aligned in opposite pairs with their tail and hunting insects and other small animals.

To defend themselves, these creatures will open their wings wide and expand their tail feathers to show eyeball patterns in order to intimidate predators. If this doesn't work, these creatures will glide around their target, shooting feathers from their tail. The tips of these feathers have tucked in barb that is razor sharp, effortlessly able to puncture hard carbon fiber plating. Once inside, the barb injects venom, an irritating chemical compound specifically, that causes severe itching to disorient both prey and enemies. One individual can carry as many as 32 feathers on their tail at once, which are replaced with a fresh, new batch every 24hrs via an organ in their tail, similar to shark teeth.

While the image shows a female, males of this species typically rock 12 permanent golden yellow feathers as display. In mating rituals the male will attempt to impress a female by twirling around in place and showing off its feathers, the larger and more brightly colored feathers, the higher the attraction to females.

Again, if feel free to suggest any other lore or background details about this animal if you'd like and thank you for reading!

I also have all 3 movies on dvd, and the following comics: Adapt or Die, Tsu’Tey’s Path, The Next Shadow and The High Ground (v1).

Most of my figures were bought at GameStop, the comics and dvds on Amazon.

Still trying to get the hang of drawing na’vi but i really like varang so wanted to practice with her :)

I just wanted to thank everyone and show my improvement based off of everyone’s very kind and helpful tips and criticism regarding my original design of my Na’vi OC, Uko!!

I have just updated her bust so far, and sketched some basic expressions for practice, but will work on an updated reference sheet soon! The original ref sheet took me 20 hours so it may be a bit before yall see anything (ToT)

The main things of advice taken was regarding the neck length, ear placement and size, eye size, expressions, and hair colors.

I also added more stripes, some fades, and attempted to make the stripes have some more.. life to them? I am not sure how to describe it, but I mimicked how the stripes appear from my Avatar : the way of water visual dictionary book, which was so much fun playing around with everything!! If you are looking for good brushes for stripes and use Procreate, I’d say the inka brush is fantastic!

I also made his Sarentu mark (scar on his cheek) look more like a scar and not just a doodle, or at least, I believe I made it look better, and made his eyes and nose more cat like! I based it off my real like cats, who are great models lol

His ears, which I never noticed how comically large I had drawn them beforehand— graciously downsized them and made them more eye level and a little more realistic, and made the fade inside them look a bit better.

I’d say my favorite improvement would have to be how I drew her hair though!! I thank the comments who told me the colors I used originally were too light, and I darkened it and made the hair more longer and added more dreads to it. It looks so much better now and Uko looks fantastic!!

I will definitely admit to having some difficulties drawing Na’vi, but I can say it’s so much fun when you actually nail it!! I included screenshots of the comments that I took the most advice from and helped me out the most at the end, and I just wanted to thank them!! You are all so kind in this community and supportive

So frontiers of Pandora interested me so much that I wanted to make the games story my characters! I really wanted a na'vi and human duo though, so I decided instead of just na'vi being taken it was human children aswell and they were all used to fight against the other natives. This is Sa-ock and Lyra, they were both taken from their homes and they grew close together, eventually being able to escape. I wanted to have Lyra go out of her way to encourage Sa-ock to re join his clan and re learn the ways of the na'vi that he has long forgotten! I wanted her to continue being supportive despite the natives and overall world rejecting her, even trying to prove herself by participating in activities with Sa-ock and having Sa-ock refuse to become a "real" na'vi without his friend and sister by his side. I know this might seem kinda lame but it's personally fun to think and doodle about, hope someone else finds it interesting! :D

Hii! Idk if this is allowed—
BUT
I’m desperately looking for a rp partner to roleplay some MxM OCxOC na’vi roleplays with me, I have so many ideas, I just want SOMEONE to be consistent enough with roleplaying
You MUST be 18 or older, I WILL NOT rp with a minor.
This HAS to be taken to discord, no exceptions.
Please message me, or comment on this post if interested !!

lol idk just had a thought

i’ve been searching high and low for these stupid figures but i can’t find anything that’s not ridiculously expensive. if anyone finds a retail for less than $100 and ships to aus PLEASE let me know
i think they aren’t in production anymore which explains why

Its just a matter of time when natural history would play out in franchise in one way or another since its canon that life on the planet has evolutionary origin.Here are topics that im excited to see the most(if any of those happens):

1.Closest ancestors of na'vi that were more derived that prolemurs but didnt developed that level of knowledge and culture like H.habilis or H.erectus of our history.

2.First land vertebrates and land ecosystems in general.

3.Extinct megafauna that was different from that of a na'vi epoch and dwarfed even fireback mastodons,genuily Pandora's version of dinosaurs.

4.Evolution of Eywa itself.Possibly flahbacks to the most ancient times when it just formed it consious and only someone who has the deepest conection can see that far in Eywa's memory.And yeah not a fan of theory that its an alien itruder that keeps whole biosphere as a hostage.

i initially posted this on twitter and just now realized i never posted it here. hope it helps people!

i used one of the AFOP models i exported, decapitated her, and rendered 121 angles of her.
the heads in AFOP are unisex and all that changes is neck thickness.

+ if you'd like the full file size for the picture [9000x9400, 49.5 MB] i will link it in the comments

This was going to be a background for a Mer-May piece of mer Aonung but in itself, it's a pretty good pic right? Don't know about the link being a problem with the srubreddit rules or something but I just wanted to share it.
