I think he looks exactly like Jake, less like his avatar self. Maybe because of the beard. Wonderful eyes :)

They did an excellent job in that movie-went to see it TWICE. Besides the eye difficulty, I think you did a great job with this. I did notice as well a bit of the base texture as you mentioned-but this is well done.

when I finish my new character I am going to make it from zero up with all the exactly details and morphs , when they created the characters for the movie they had the real actors faces scanned and then they add the features to it , that why Grace have a human nose in the movie cuz changing it to the native did not make her looks like her, so this is well not simple to do beside you can do the M4 avatar look only ... but well I will spend more time , and I saw the movie 4 times hahahah I have it on DVD , a promotion copy I got in December ..

Four times?! Lucky you!! I too fell in love with this film....(inspite of any TEENY TINY shortcomings)...and am feeling inspired by it as well. Your version is very cool too!! I am sure that if you were to do another it would be spot on. Cool work.

This is pretty impressive for a failure. I think the only movie I have ever watched more than Avatar was Monty Pythons Life of Brian. I just bought the DVD so the count is rising :)
Mec4D
I watched Avatar 5 times already .. it is never boring , and every-time I see it new details coming out ... very impressive and inspiring movie

i think the flying islands idea was back in the 70s? think either chris foss or terry gilliam featured them in their work :-) by the way love the pic
