Epic epic epic. O_o

Looks amazing brother! Cant wait to see the finished art!

Surprised I haven't posted in here yet.

Amazing tattoo HNM, really shows the Na'vi side of you coming out.

I look forward to the update :D

And done :)

...until the next one :awesome:


Second post in the thread updated with pictures :)

Wow, that came out looking really good. Rock on, HNM :war: :cool:

Got to hand it to you mate, it looks really good. :nsmile: I bet you are well pleased with it. :nsmile: Na'vi for life now...

That is incredible...:awesome:

Ma HNM, leiu fìta'lengrel txantsan nìtxan a fì'ut fpìl oel!

Second post in the thread updated again :)

That's awesome. What does it look like from a distance?

Indeed. Very awesome :)

That is awesome. It looks very cool. I'm sure even those who don't get the reference will like it.

I don't mean to be discouraging, but it doesn't look like it's really "torn". Looks more like jagged patches of Na'vi skin started popping up on your arm. If you were to go back, maybe you could ask that the "torn" edge parts be shadowed-looking...? I mean, there's a way for it to look artistically genuine, but it doesn't look that way to me. Shadowing the torn edges would make it look properly torn.

My two cents. Other than that, looks pretty good. :) I'm just saying, it could be touched up a bit more.

Maybe in the future - I need to see how it heals first, and so far everyone else has got the idea (including AFK), so I think it does look as intended.

I agree with Woodsprite, shadowing would be a great way to finish it off. Worked well on the superman one.

Kick-ass ink! I'll have to post some of mine soon. I'll be getting the coloring done shortly.

wow that tatt is sooooo cool <3 love it

I like it better without shadows :)

Hey HNM,
I really like your tattoo and especially the idea behind it, already saw the pictures of it in LearnNa'vi community some months ago. I envy you for this tattoo, hehe :)
Though I think, tbh, that it could have been executed a bit better than this, especially regarding shadow/shading (so it looks more like your Human skin is really ripped off/open and the Na'vi skin lays underneath) and "darker"blue outlines around the markings ("pil").
But anyway, really nice piece of art. :)

Perhaps on the other arm I will, it's like any art I guess, it evolves over time :).

If your tattoo is still like what it looks like on the photos, you can let those shadows (and maybe some highlights) be added anytime. Just a suggestion, of course, because it would make it look even better imho, but if you're happy with it the way it is, it's just fine. Because it's under your skin and you're the one who has to be happy with it :)

Btw, I'm thinking about inking something similar on my thigh or whereever. We'll see ^^

I almost think shadows would look funny from some perspectives.
