oh boy another redraw!! it's a yearly tradition by now🙏

#avatarsky #afaa #atwow #recomoc #invincible #digitalart
Lorenzo in an Omni-man suit with a large rip down his chest and abdomen. He has an angered expression on his face as he floats backwards, probably in a middle of a fight and just got his shit rocked LMAO Redraw of that scene in Invincible with Lorenzo where Omni-man just escaped the Viltrumite prison with Allen. Man looked his finest when he was covered in blood and injured what who said that!!!!!!!!!!! THIS HEAD ANGLE WAS KILLING MEE; Lorenzo... Omni-man... whatever, flying in shouting "PANDORA ISN'T YOURS TO CONQUER!!" I wanted to include that line, felt appropriate to his character. Redraw of that scene when Omni-man saved the Thraxans and he had his beard and long hair and shit. I liked the lighting in this scene and wanted that opportunity to draw a bearded Recom cause I mean... look at it.. omg

warmup of an oc idea i've been storing in my mind for some time now. as someone who's studying for a BS in astrophysics, pandora always enticed me 🧐

i can imagine with so many celestial bodies nearby too, it'd be an astronomer's dream to study there!!

#avatarsky #avataroc #sketch #atwow #afaa
Astronomer Molly (no last name, i have no idea what to go for LMAO). She's an Avatar driver, and I imagined they'd give her an Avatar solely because astronomical observation is done, well, outside (duh!!! LMAO). Polyphemus is way too bright to pick out constellations with the naked eye, but we have methods of locating constellations with technology anyway. The fact that Pandora is also in a triple star system (Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B) is also remarkably interesting, so studying Pandora itself and not just what's around it is especially exciting!! I'd like to think in some secluded area in Pandora, much like Chile, there could be observatories built for Astronomers to study at. Also always begged the question to me about what Na'vi astronomy would look like, archeoastronomy is very present in ancient civilizations such as the Inca and I've wondered if the Na'vi have ever kept track of the alignment of the moons orbiting Polyphemus and so on. Plus just what exactly the day-night cycle on Pandora looks like, and other things like Polyphemus' gravitational pull and the ionizing radiation it traps like Jupiter. Which would for sure fry Pandora were it not for its likely very strong magnetic field. All these things that astronomers on Pandora, like Molly, would research!! Close-up. I'm not sure if Avatars would be capable of having naturally blonde hair, but I felt blonde fit Molly. Plus all my ocs already have darker hair so I wanted to spice things up a bit LMAOO

FINALLY finished it good LORD. it was quite fun to work on this!!
MASSIVEEE lore dump too, i figure its warranted! 🏃🏃

feel free to use this post as a Q&A on him! i do enjoy getting to speak on his lore purely because of how complicated i've made it 😻😻

#avatarsky #recomoc #digitalart #afaa #atwow
Completed ref sheet for Lorenzo Quincy Abbott. Some additional facts I wanted to include but couldn't fit: - Bird's full name was Richard Fowler. He also went to Pandora with Lorenzo, sticking by his side for 11 whole years. He died a couple of years after Lorenzo's own death during the Battle of Ayrum Alusing. - Lorenzo's "official" death was faked as apart of the contracts he signed before he even went to Pandora. This always was a one-way trip for him. An empty grave with his name on it is found in his hometown of Chicago. - He left for and arrived on Pandora on Christmas day. - Now being a Recom, he struggles immensely with his identity. He's Na'vi, but also not? And he's this man who died, and not his own being? He struggles to reconnect with his former humanity, nor does he feel any sort of growing connection to the Na'vi. His questioning drives him further into his pit of madness. - When Serpent's Coil was wiped out, Lorenzo himself was captured and held prisoner for 6 months. Nobody was coming to save him so he had to get himself out. He believes to this day his own commanders wanted him dead and that they classified him as a CI to make sure they could (legally) keep a close eye on him.

fall break is finally here so that means i have the time to draw bullshit again!! go my avatar ocs!!! be free!!! 🏃💨

#avatarsky #recomoc #avataroc #navioc #atwow #afaa
Two sketches of my OCs Lorenzo (L) and Neil (R). Both are just simple expression practices. Lorenzo's brows are furrowed, his teeth bared, a cigarette clenched between them. He is looking off to the distance at something, probably just saw Quaritch enter the room and his entire day is ruined. Neil is more saddened, ears down, brows downturned. A notable frown on his face. He looks off to the side, away from whatever may have upset him. Perhaps a crude comment or more simply, he's reflecting on what he misses from Earth. A third expression practice sketch using my OC Kafa. She's got a bright smile on her face, eyes squinted just from how big it is. Her ears perked up, and eyes looking to someone off screen. Perhaps looking to her friends as they tell a joke, or looking to her Ikran Reza, whom she adores dearly and sees as a sister. Silly little doodle of Lorenzo and Neil. The two have NEVER actually even been around each other, but I know if they ever have been they'd have some fun interactions. Lorenzo: "We're gonna have 2 kill this guy neil" Neil: "Aw man..."

small art dump of some stuff ive made as i have nothing much to post rn 🏃🏃

sketches of my na'vi ocs kafa and tswate, lorenzo and his daughter yasmine, and a drawing of neil!

#avatarsky #atwow #afaa #navioc #recomoc #avataroc
Two sketches of the artist's Na'vi ocs. The purple lady on the left is Kafa, the teal guy on the right is Tswate. Kafa has large wicks on her head decorated with thick wooden bands. Tswate has a leather mask/helmet concealing his face. The handprint on it is from his close friend whom he met when joining the Nalut'sif, Teley. (Inspired by TLOU when Joel saves Ellie from David) Lorenzo taking Yasmine's face into his hands. He likely just had to rescue her from some sort of encounter that left her in shock. He's just happy that she's alive. (Inspired by the TLOU TV show S2 when Joel is at the winter ball) Neil looking to the figure just behind the camera with a very downcast expression, likely having been told some harrowing news or had just received a comment reminding him that he's not actually Na'vi. Neil's always had trouble being fully accepted by the Nalut'sif considering he's human, and hasn't merged with his Avatar yet. "Is it just me or is this room way too loud?" is a lyric from Ethel Cain's unreleased song, Homecoming. Neil has fears of judgement from everybody around him, dealing with such ever since he had to face being bullied as a child. He feels every time someone is talking, they're talking about him, and the room is loud with their conversations that overwhelm his mind.

ive been pretty ill the past couple of days but i had to lock in and finish this for the #QuaritchFanArtContest before the submission period ended!

my idea was take quaritch... make a comic book(ish) cover... and yeah the rest is history ✌️✌️

#avatarsky #digitalart #afaa #fanart #milesquaritch
A poster-esque, comic-book-cover-inspired artwork of Colonel Quaritch! He's dressed in his Mangkwan warpaint and outfit, riding his Banshee in the middle of a tense aerial battle as he narrowly dodges and oncoming arrow (likely coming from Neytiri).

yayy color!!! i haven't mentioned her yet but the woman on the left is feyha! she belongs to my lovely friend angel ❤️ this is a college professors au, feyha originally being na'vi!

i wanted a little something for fall, so i'd say this would suffice

#avatarsky #atwow #afaa #navioc #avataroc
fall-themed drawing of human!feyha and neil. both college professors in this au, neil sharing with her a cup of coffee... or hot chocolate... either would be so good rn... as she looks at the cup pbeing handed to her, neil is looking directly at her instead. these old farts omfg. neil is a physics (my major omg) and biology professor, with special applications to astronomy. feyha is a fashion design professor who also owns her own small boutique in the city selling the clothes she creates! also offering repairs to people's clothes... people being neil and his clumsy ass... yes they're in love. yes they get married. yes they have a happy ending.... maybe... most likely.....

#avatarsky #afaa #atwow #navioc #digitalart
Cool-toned image of Aval swimming in the waters of the Nalut'sif. She looks up to the sky, perhaps in deep thought. Looking for a moment of isolation after an event that hit her particularly hard. Reconnecting with her roots.

Two illustrations of Neil De La Cruz in his Avatar. On the right is a fullbody of him dressed in a yellow-and-black wetsuit with matching flippers and a pair of scuba goggles holding two thumbs up! In the background is the same image on a lower opacity of him without the goggles. Just to his left is a drawing of him in the same outfit but in ACNH artstyle

bro for sure has a whole collection of science-themed ties he wore to his classes everyday and i love that for him 🥹❤️‍🩹

#avatarsky #avataroc #atwow #digitalart #ocart
Two drawings of the poster's OC Neil De La Cruz in two outfits. The outfit on the left is him in a layered outfit with a blue collared shirt, a thick wool sweater layered ontop, and another layer of a green zip-up jacket with brown trim, and a pair of kahki pants. An accessory around his neck that is his Harvard ID. The left outfit is of similar fashion but a lighter blue shirt with a cotton sweater on top... he really likes his sweaters guys if you couldn't tell...

To give more tidbits. The Nalut'sif are quite reserved and enigmatic, the arrival of the RDA was unfelt by them being they lived far out in the Pandoran sea on an archipelago. So much so locating their territory on a map is near impossible. Making it perfect for Neil to conduct his research. They are incredibly closed off to outsiders which also made it quite astonishing that Neil was permitted to stay, with a lot of requirements of course. If Neil could pass all their rites and assist around with clan duties, he was allowed to stay and use their waters to research the flora and fauna of the sea. However, of course, the RDA started using Neil's research into the Tulkun to their advantage and began their Amrita exploits much earlier than initially in the original universe (later displacing and/or destroying two ocean clans because of disputes over the Tulkun populations). This expanded further to the Nalutsa being harvested for their harder outer shells and teeth for exports to Earth. This fueled the Nalut'sif with an incredible rage, and Neil with an incredible guilt. He was ashamed for how naive he was to believe the RDA wouldn't try anything awful with his research into the incredible animals. There's mention of Tsulpäy, a rite of passage to adulthood within the Nalut'sif that Neil also had to go through. It is granted to them depending on skills and ability rather than age or rank. A coming of age via emotional growth and tolerance for what the Great Mother's seas would force them to endure. The experience is different for every initiate, making no definitive outcome other than having to endure it. Neil is yet to merge with his Avatar. There's an unimaginable amount of hesitancy within him because he knows he wouldn't be able to go back. He will have to make a choice eventually, with Deja Blu being launched to the grounds of Pandora, it's only a matter of time until they find him. And Lorenzo isn't known for his patience.
