#snow clan art

[eywaseclipse]

Decided to make an arctic viperwolf. Furry and ferocious. I made their claws a little longer that act like ice picks, their paws are bigger like snow shoes and they have webbed feet. They’re loyal to the snow Na’vi and help track game in the snow regions and they live harmoniously with the clan. Is this accurate? Who knows. But I let my mind wander and this is where I ended up lol.

🌿Na'vi cradles🌿

From left to right:

° lesutx aytanhi clan - compact, made from belly part of skin from passed ikran (because it's very soft type of leather) and sticks of the local "oak"

° atan'taw clan - multifunctional, the holders (?) of the cradle also are using to hold the cooking pots during the cooking

After the meal the coals that was left are gently heating the baby's bed

° metkayina clan - made from the giant snail shell and placed on the (unfortunately) dead coral

It's used by na'vi till the baby can walk after that they change it to mat (for baby's safety)

° tum'nan clan - making process of this cradle is very complicated and takes a lot of time

It's made of living tree which is modeled by na'vi to grow in certain direction (like a bonsai for example) but the tree isn't that big (more like a stunted plants) and stops its grow after a few years (2-3 years usually)

Well.. So I decided to make two more predator dolls! This time these are two twins - Eri and Erud, inhabitants of the north of the Earth, stern and lonely comrades, very devoted to each other.

They also decide the fate of Snow from @wolfsnowphoenix

Just had to post my fave with the cute comic I made of mansi and his kids 🥺💖

[hajihiko]

what do you MEAN what's the difference

[furiouspersonakitten]

Want to draw a reference sheet for Sonya but my hands just can't do it after a long day 😔

Weekends are coming so i will get to it eventually (i hope)

For now, have a funny sketch about drinking snow na'vi (they wear fur clothes to keep themselves warm)

[ratwithhands]

Made these designs very late at night, but I figured I'd try designing the clan leaders as Sapioflores.

Adaman is based on the Japanese iris (Iris laevigata), since it's a flower that grows in water/wet soil and the Diamond Clan lives in a marsh. The ornament he wears on his face is not only a traditional accessory (for Sapioflores), it also acts as a glorified hairclip to hold his long face leaves together. He wears a tasuki if he isn't wearing his coat both so he can get more sunlight and also to hold his sleeves out of the way when working. Speaking of, similar to Ingo, he prefers thick dark clothes to retain heat/moisture (and to mimic the muddy water he spends much of his time in).

Irida is based on the winter peony (Kan-botan), since it blooms in freezing cold winters like the Pearl Clan would see in the icelands. Her face ornament was originally a larger set of accessories, but the stones were removed and put together into one piece instead. The mino and hat she wears are based on the straw tents used to protect winter peonies from snow. Since it's the snow and ice bothering her rather than the temperature, she still dresses pretty light underneath. Her obi is tied to have multiple bows on either side, as a way to mimic the appearance of the actual peony (like a sort of way to say she's constantly in bloom/at her best). Her clothes are cropped at the sleeves and bottom to leave more access for light.

uhhhh other design notes:

I was trying to figure out how to get Adaman's hair to be more blue because without any colour it looks like the left image and I wasn't sure how to feel about it. The current running joke with the writing team is that he drinks dyed water/dyes his hair to be prettier/cooler. Anyways dyed water looks like the right image

The cover on Irida felt like armour when I was sketching it and honestly I kinda want to see her beat someone into the ground with it on (particularly cause while I was trying to look up Kan-botan, I stumbled on Hanakotoba and peonies are supposed to represent bravery according to that)

I ditched Irida's bracelets and anklet in favour of the ornament sorry. They felt a bit clunky and I couldn't figure out how to reasonably fit them on the design so for now they're just not present. If I make a proper battle outfit for her then I might bring them back as limb guards

Adaman is probably soggy a lot of the time since he'll just go chill in the water. Likely just quickly scrubs off any major clumps of silt/mud and heads out if someone calls him during swamp time

Fun fact Volo was gonna be in this design set but I'm too tired. He's likely going to be white spider lily (Lycoris albiflora) mostly because of the whole "death to the universe" plot and also cause he's allies with Giratina. He's probably not gonna be too interesting anyways so it's fine.

Hope you like the art, let me know if you have any thoughts. Have a good night and see you guys later.

Glimpses into arctic Pandora (all artwork is by me, and the signatures are my more used online nickname)

Tauk lives with a lot of lakes. She's a skilled maker of fishing nets and other fish traps. She also makes dyed fabrics. Her grandmother is an expert of local natural pigments, fungi and berries alike, and she's a keen student. She's strong, outspoken and adventurous. An energetic powerhouse with her feet in the ground. While she has her heart in the right place for the most part, she does not always understand those who have less social skills, and might appear judgemental/intimidating to such cases. This is because she grew up being quite secure in herself, and doesn't seem to understand that not everyone can take such for granted.

Mokri'ena is bit of a daydreamer and an introvert. She loves to learn about stories from across Pandora. She has heard of the Sky People, Toruk Makto and the legendary warrior Neytiri. Many say she kind of exists outside of the moment she's in, outside of her body. She's interested in news and history. She always feels intimately aware of how frail safety and peace are. She can't stop thinking about the Sky People, or the Omaticaya and the Metkayina she has never met. She grew up being a little weird, - or well, just not really understanding other kids' concept of fun. She was a little artist who preferred her imagination over her loud and more sociable peers. As an adult she's keen to help those in need, as she has known the pain of being forgotten.

Tulìm is from a coastal settlement, from a terrain broken into many islands.

He was always an adventurer, - as he was born in a mainland tribe. The coastal islands always made him curious because he wanted to see more of his world, so he moved there and joined a trader ship crew.

For most of his life he was simply a trader ship navigator, and later a the captain.

He commands one of the biggest trader ships of the region. He has seen many lands outside of his own, and is known for his skills with diplomacy and leadership. He doesn't lead to benefit himself, but to serve his people and especially his crew.

His nemesis for life is an ice na'vi pirate. He spends his old, last days in a bitter hunt of his nemesis, until his worn-out body succumbs into the ocean for the last time.

Keyuk is the Olo'Eyktan of one of the many ice na'vi tribes. The era of his leadership has been a stable and quiet one. While a part of his humour is making a serious face to trick people, he's actually more known for his easygoing and humble personality. He knows his responsibilities, but has a pretty egalitarian approach to his social life. He breaks some of the traditions of his people by dressing like an average member of his society. He's never been a fan of trying to act like more than you are, - he's all bite and with none of the bark! This makes him well-respected and liked among his people.

The two main types of arctic na'vi:

(Left) Those of the land, - descenants of forest na'vi similiar to the Omaticaya, but with adaptations to cold, long winters. Most of their body is covered in fur.

(Right) Those of the waters, - arctic cousins to reef na'vi like Tau'nui and Metkayina. These 'ice na'vi' are even more extremely adapted to spending time in water than reef na'vi are, having even more powerful swimming tails and upwards-facing nostrils for easily getting air between their long dives. They don't have fur, but regulate their body heat by the layers of fat under their skin, much like cetaceans on Earth. Like reef na'vi, ice na'vi also have a symbiotic relationship with a tulkun-like sapient species.

This is an arctic viperwolf. Fur grows between their armor plates and most of the plateless regions of rheir bodies. Their shape is rounder and stubbier than that of the tropical viperwolves, for trapping more heat in their bodies.

Arctic ikran relatives also exist, and are popular flying steeds to many snow na'vi tribes. They're covered in filamentous structures resembling little hair fans.

Spent some time working on this. Got inspired by @thewarmblanket snow clan post and watching informational videos on Greenland lol. I love learning. And this snow na’vi is based off Inuit culture. Including the traditional tattoos called Tunniit. Did I mention this is a free draw with my non dominant hand? 🤗

“The process and method of making Tunniit is called kakiorneq in West Greenland and kagierneq in the east (both can be translated as "sewn with a needle").

The tradition of making and wearing Tunniit has mainly been passed on by Inuit women, as a sign of their spiritual responsibility and sewing skills. The kakiorneq and kagierneq techniques traditionally involve the use of a needle and sinew thread (thread made from the muscle of the reindeer's hind legs) dipped in a mixture of soot, oil and urine to create a line under the top layer of the skin. An alternative method involves the use of a sharp tool to make a small hole in the skin, followed by the application of a sooty substance to create a distinctive dot.”

The wedding rituals

(It's a paired post with @ho-shka Special thanks for the art to her )

The engagement can happen at any time, but the wedding itself happens at a strictly defined time after the return of the traveler group (about this in the following posts) from the trip

At the night before the wedding, the couple comes to the parents' houses of both families and inherits a family heirloom (a carpet with a family history - each symbol means something) that was kept on the family altar - the couple chooses which surname they will use (there are usually 2 or more children in the family, so this is not a problem)

The carpet is taken from one family, and from another family they take materials for its weaving: threads, stones, pigments, etc.

On the same night before the wedding, the groom's mother braids the hair of daughter-in-law into one braid - as a symbol of the unification of souls

The pair wear the best clothes for the wedding: a ribbon and a veil made of spider silk, which are used in this way - they tie left hands together with a ribbon (the colors of the ribbon doesn't matter, only couple's preference), and then a veil is putted on the couple during the wedding (so that the first kiss was more sacred)

(He tied the ribbon on his waist after the ceremony)

As a result, there are 3 symbols of the union of souls:

• Braid

• Veil

• Ribbon

After the ceremony they celebrate with a feast - where each fruit has its own meaning.

(Sorry for the bad quality of some photos - it was on my old phone and unfortunately I don't have an access to that sketchbook anymore)
