For the eyes you are going to look around $300 for proper FX lenses (contacts that is..) It really depends on how serious you want a costume to look. I MUST put stress on the fact you need to do this through a proper eye exam and exact measurements.. if you don't you will screw up your eyes.

Yeah, that'll definitely be the most expensive part. Which might just be a waste since I'm not one to wear a costume all that often. Perhaps it would be better to just go without, and pretend there isn't that difference.

[Kupaton`Eywa]

yea, I agree with you Tirolite-san

If you already have contacts doesn't that drop the price of these down drastically since you can just send them your prescription and only pay like $100 for the set?

It's possible (I don't have glasses/contacts so I'm not familiar with the process) but I was looking at one site and it was over $100 to order a lens for ONE eye. I didn't shop around much because I wasn't interested in paying anything close to that so you might be able to find them cheaper but I am guessing because they are a niche market places pretty much charge what they want. A few years back you probably remember the huge fiasco with novelty lenses with people damaging their eyes from low quality contacts and the resulting lawsuits. After that, they got rarer and expensive.

I would guess you're looking at anywhere from $100-$300 for a pair.

Why not just don't buy the lenses and just make the costume. Who carse about the eyes?

I could do $100 or so for a pair since I would wear these during normals days (since I could see with them, gah stupid glasses/contacts) so it's not like I'd be throwing money out there that I would never use.

heh, this kind of stuff is going to be booming once we get closer to Halloween (I know I'm doing one!)

This is so true!
It almost makes me want to start mass-producing the flying goggles. Almost...
It'll be a Na'vi INVASION! hahaha!

Makes me smile to think of all the Na'vi goodness we have yet to see.

Eywa ngahu,

If I have the correct tools IMA build myself a working AMP Suit!

you are my hero...

I think going as an AVTR driver would be easier. Just need a shirt, cargo pants, backpack, bluetooth, and a BFG and you're set.

hope my post helps you out

[Kaltxì Palulukan!]

*Sigh* Sarcasm was never meant for the internet.

Oh I got it. And it seems there are several threads now all answering this same question (how to look like a Na'vi). In each thread there are great suggestions and advice.

[Rallion]

I also intend to make my own Na'vi costume for carnival as well for LARP. I have seen some nice Avatars in this Forum (the small pictures of each user not the Avatar from the film) showing nice transformations into a Na'vi. I would like to see more of this pictures in large. Please post some of them into this thread.

Did you say Avatar LARP where?

[Rallion]

I do not know anything about a speciel Avatar Larp. But I think that na'vi characters are even compatible to ordinary fantasy LARPs. They do not own any technological things which do not occur in a fantasy setting. Only the clothes of Jake's Avatar or his machine gun are not compatible to fantasy LARP. I do not think that entire Pandora is tropical, tribes of the temperate zone probably wear more clothes like the ones in the film. I think their clothes are more related to clothes of indegene people of our world. The power of Eywa is more related to the magic or the clerical power of other non na'vi characters. Thus if you make some modifications (modifications like the reduction of the size from 10 to 6-7feet are already accepted) on background and equipment you can make a na'vi based character living in fantasy world like elves deep in the forest.

Most of the profile pictures people have are photo-manipulations done in graphic design software like Photoshop. These talented artists take a picture of theirs or someone's face and change the hue, colors, face/nose/eye shape, to make them look like a Na'vi. They've done some outstanding work, and you can find more in the Fan Art section.

Most of them are not, however, costumes. A YouTube search for Na'vi Makeup generates some great results for tips on makeup/paint design. For costume outfit tips in particular, myself and FanReviewz (he was my inspiration) have videos of our costumes and will be posting "How To" videos on our channels soon.

Hope that helps you get started and we look forward to seeing what you come up with!

I have already seen your and the other videos on youtube dealing with a na'vi costume and/or na'vi make up. Like your video there is couple of very nice stuff  . But there are also very terrible things  . I am looking foward for new stuff and your tutorial.

[Robert Nantangä Tirea]

Sure thing! Don't worry, I'll defenitely be posting the video once I finish it and probably link it in my sig as well.
