Description I know, I know. MORE fanart from me. AVATAR fanart, at that! and not even COMPLETED Avatar fanart, it's a work in progress! I feel like such a follower >_> but dangit, Avatar was awesome! This is the art I started right after seeing the movie, that I couldn't put off starting until the morning, even though it was already midnight (and I suppose technically morning already... uhh) ...

So, yes. Neytiri, Jake Sully. Love.

I thought I'd upload it, even though it's a work in progress, because I have several other things I absolutely MUST finish prior to indulging my Avatar "sweet tooth" (including replying to the 900-something comments I have... I will, I promise!!), but I also wanted to know what people thought, since my mother was like "It's very good, but I wish you'd do more real people" which was kind of down-putting.

Hopefully it's not something someone's already painted heaps before. I've seen a lot of paintings of the same movie scenes/stills/promotional images, all of them lovely and some quite frankly amazingjawdropping, with each artist's own variations and interpretations on it, but still... I hope this one hasn't been done (much) before...

So, thoughts, encouragement, crits, outright flattery, TITLE SUGGESTIONS, please?

I think you should call it, "Peace before war" as it takes place before the final battle.

Ja, great scene, great pic and great movie!

I know what you mean
my mother was like "It's very good, but I wish you'd do more real people" which was kind of down-putting. I don't know where I've heard that before... sounds familiar.

Haha yeah it is a little disheartening to hear something like that >_< I do understand where she's coming from but some feedback on what I've actually done, not what she wished I'd do is more what I'm after ay?

Does anyone else notice that in this particular scene, when jake and neytiri are together like that, the middle of the shot between the two almost looks like a heart? ^^

EonOrteaShadowmaster [2010-03-11 15:49:48 +0000 UTC]

Anybody else notice the heart shape formed between their bodies?

Calling Avatar amazing would be the understatement of the year.

Hahah yes I quite liked that part. I totally agree!

Speaking of noticing things, I'm surprised actually no one noticed (or at least, no one commented) on my typo - I left of the second 's' in 'progress' lol maybe I shouldn't point these things out?

I love it <3 It's beautiful!

Do you like "Jeytiri" or "Neyke" better? I'm for "Jeytiri" lol
I mean, every shipping needs to have a name.

Imaliea In reply to DivineDil [2010-01-30 05:07:35 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!!

I have to say I'm with you, Jeytiri sounds much better. Neyke sounds like baby-talk for naked lol "Uh oh! Jeytiri are neyke! Cover yer eyes!" haha. It's fortunate this ship can have a pretty cool name - some ship names I've seen around are just stoopid heehee

friggin awsome, dude. love the atmosphere you've created, you've really captured the film right there now, this may be a stupid question, but what medium did you use? again, absolutely stunning, and it's just a wip?!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Imaliea In reply to ReyJak [2010-01-14 05:18:01 +0000 UTC]

Hey thanks so much! I'm glad I'm on the right track with it, I love the movie so dang much, so I really wanted to get that beautiful atmosphere it had.

Not a stupid question at all It's entirely digitial, so I used Photoshop to paint it, from scratch, all using a slightly rough-edged brush for the lot

once again, thanks! and yep, still a wip... I will finish it soon I hope! Gotta finish some other things first...

ReyJak In reply to Imaliea [2010-01-14 05:25:49 +0000 UTC]

yeh, you did a great job the power of emotion in the movie was absolutely incredible, don't you think? whenever Nyetiri cries or gets angry, my chest restricts and i feel like i'm going to burst into tears :\ bahaha crazy.
Kudos to you, because you have created a friggin awsome peice.

Sorry? how do you mean? It's from the end of the movie where he wears his hair different, if that's what you're talking about? When he's praying to the tree... and Neytiri comes to him...

title idea! "I see you" I know, it's just like the movie, but it fits this piece perfectly.

Imaliea In reply to RachelRoxstar [2010-01-07 02:48:24 +0000 UTC]

Actually that's not a bad idea, but maybe use the Na'avi language for it instead... cuz you're right it does fit

RachelRoxstar In reply to Imaliea [2010-01-08 02:28:25 +0000 UTC]

yeah! I can't remember what it was in their language though.. maybe some internet research is in order? hah got it "Oel ngati kameie"
