Hey! I did some modeling this morning... and I came up with a nice avatar (I think)
I wanted him to look a bit human and less Naavi (just like in the movie)

So I tried to keep some parts of his face human (like the eyes) and I'm pretty happy with what I did

and I actualy have those piercings (stretch) so I modeled 'em to be near as possible of myself
and I will give a try on the hair to really make it look like me

I will shot a picture of myself soon as possible =)
the ones I have are not good for references

and I also did a couple of modifications on the global shape

Dark scene but I wanted to give a nice render
there's something I noticed about the Avatar... they all have cavities in the face that the original human don't have

see how round is his face ? https://www.collider.com/uploads/imag...orthington.jpg

look at the avatar...

and on some pictures we really can see that the Avatar looks more... defined or more shaped than the humans

So I tried to get that feeling in my model too

Sorry for all the post I can't upload 2 pictures in the same post

There's a new one to see how he looks like me (sorry for the bad picture... I took it from my webcam and I haven't slept since 48 hours so... my eyes are weird lol

( I will work on the little "space"between the eyebrow to have the correct shape... I don't like how the eyebrow muscles are now )
