I started this as a quick sketch and thought about a quick background, but again, as always, I can't seem to let something unfinished, so here it is.

Maybe I could've done better on some parts of the lightings, but I'm still very proud of how it turned out, especially for the background ! I'm getting out of my comfort zone, trying new things and actually thinking it's not that bad, I think it's an amazing step for me !

So, just a sketch in the AU where Miles would get to the North Pole, and would end up in my Resistance group. A new land, and new dangers. So he got the best teacher to tell him everything he needs to know to not get chomped !

Forest na'vi! Nät :D

My first drawing of Nät, as some of you may remember, was her as a forest na'vi.

I was indecisive to make her Forest or Reef na'vi at first, in my corrupted files they were a few sketches that never saw the light. Hopefully, the art that I'm working on will soon be posted :]

So anyways, here is my official forest na'visona, aka, forest na'vi Ni'nätya which idk maybe will become a thing of her own like the rest :]

Since it's been confirmed that they will have an Avatar 3 involving fire Na'vi. I keep thinking that the fire Na'vi will be albino or have white/greyish skin, since the color of Ashes is between white and grey, but that's just my theory.

[praise-the-elongated-noodle-god]

Can anyone do a drawing of Steve Harrington and Billy Hargrove from Stranger Things as Na'vi? I really eant to see Steve as a forest Na'vi and Billy as reef Na'vi. I also wouldn't mind seeing Eddie Munson and Tommy Hagan as forest Na'vi.

So apparently it's now been officially confirmed that the "Mangkwan" clan briefly mentioned at the end of The Next Shadow comics IS indeed the "ash clan" that will be featured in Fire and Ash (a lot of people speculated this before but it wasn't confirmed until now).

...which is all fine and dandy, except that kw is still not a valid consonant cluster, Karyu Pawl plz explain, the language nerds are crying 😭 Was this perhaps a typo of Mangkuan or Mangkawn? Or a new dialect that allows for more clusters? Or something else?

Right now my theory is that it's gonna be Mangkuan and the Mangkuan vs Mangkwan spelling difference will essentially be the same as Omatikaya vs Omaticaya (the first one being the technically "correct" one per Na'vi phonetics but the second still showing up in some canon material).

Part of the problem here, I think, comes down to what I'm gonna call the Cameron Paradox. James Cameron didn't create the Na'vi language; he created a small list of words, as well as all the character names (from the movies at least, idk about the comics and games), then hired linguist Paul Frommer (Karyu Pawl) to do the rest. Cameron's grammatical/phonetic/etc understanding of the language Frommer built, from what I can tell, seems to be pretty limited; those details are Frommer's realm. So it's very possible that Cameron chose the name Mangkwan because it sounded cool and simply had no idea that it's technically invalid within the sound system Frommer set up.

However...while Cameron himself isn't the one who created the Na'vi language, he does technically own it. It's a commissioned work and therefore Cameron, as the commissioner, has the power to override Frommer if he wishes. If Cameron has his heart set on "Mangkwan", Frommer doesn't really have a choice but to work around that. He might end up doing that by hand-waving it as a special spelling variation of "Mangkuan" (again like the explanation of c vs k in Omatikaya), or he might end up doing it by incorporating some sort of special new dialect rules for the Ash People. Or maybe some other solution that I haven't thought of. We just don't know yet.

...and Karyu Pawl might not actually be legally allowed to address it until after the movie's release date, so we might be waiting for a quite a while to find out ;w;

I think I could've done better with the background, but it's still pretty ! It feels like ages since I did a piece like this.

I also am thinking about doing brushes for Pandora flora and stuff, might share them too !

I cannot believe I never learned the word for forest in Na'vi

Na'rìng

And -vi is a suffix that roughly means "a small part of" (for example, txep=fire & txepvi=spark; vur=story & vurvi=summary; tskxe=rock & tskxevi=pebble; atan=light & atanvi=ray)

So their word for people is literally "a small part of the forest"

I am SO BEHIND on lore

(na'rìng is the only word that starts with "na' " aside from Na'vi)
