Kia'Ora. My name is Navia.
I'm new here but looking forward to immersing myself in the culture of the Na'vi.
I ask for patience as I don't know a single word in Na'vi save for a few phrases. Once thursday comes I plan on learning the Na'vi tongue.
I Love James Cameron's AVATAR and the Na'vi people because so many of the traditions and characteristics I saw reminded me of the Maori Culture which is my culture. So why not learn more about it!

Below is my first ever attempt at making myself Na'vi. Comments and critiques are appreciated as I'd love to get better.

Navia

Well, here she is, Me as a Na'vi. (Or my AVATAR considering I kept the eyebrows and kept the brow smaller than the native Na'vi and the neck a little short)

This was done with one of my photos that I edited in basic, (very basic) photoshop with a mouse.
I'd like to learn any tricks of the trade to make this more legit.

Thanks heaps!  

Navia.

My timing for posting seems to always be a little off.

Thank you so much! It was hard though I admit I thought I was going to die when I finished

This is the "Two Worlds" picture,
My Na'vi one one side, and my Human side on the other.

Hope you enjoy.

Only critique: The nose. The slots look a bit weird. Do you think you could improve it?

Irayo! Thank you for showing the process. (I feel so deprived!)
And btw I LOVED the red hair! 
But I doubt that even an Avatar would display red hair.

Trying, didn't see the nose tips in these threads till after I was finished. I'm working with a mouse, and sooo wishing I had a tablet right now lol!

I think this is a truly wonderful piece of work. Your skills are amazing. You will excel in your chosen profession once completed with school.

I wonder... could you Na'vify me, perhaps ???

This is SO fabulous! :D  You're truly gifted, I think.  And also very pretty. :)  I can't even draw stick figures properly, but creating sänhì patterns is lots of fun, kefyak? ;D

I've made some backgrounds. They are actually to my Book "Thirra" But James Camerons AVATAR and Pandora inspired a lot of it
