Seraa's Art & Ramblings

Sooo my friend was struggling with na'vi stripes so I made this whole tutorial so you won't struggle anymore like he was! Excuse me for my english mistakes Let's start! Shape

Examples:

Arrangement

Examples:

Thickness and frequency

Summary!

Important! All the described rules are not axiomatic, and the structure of the stripes is very flexible and unpredictable. This tutorial isn’t intended to drive the authors of the OCs in the frame, but only to help those who have problems with this topic 

Interesting Facts

Let's finish this short tutorial with a few facts about Na'vi stripes that you need to know:

- The pattern of stripes is independent of genetics. That is to say, nothing, not the shape, not the location, not the thickness, not the frequency is dependent on the parent. It's absolute randomness, just like fingerprints - The stripes don't have to be perfectly symmetrical - They can likely change with age as the skin renews itself, but not significantly (examples: Neytiri in the first and second movies; Kiri, who supposedly has stripes identical to Grace's but slightly different) - The type of stripes on the face aren’t entirely dependent on the stripes on the body. The face, for example, may have frequent stripes, while the body stripes are rare. (Should we expect a tutorial for body stripes?) - The rough type appears to be the most common, especially among male characters - The sharp type comes next, but is more common in females (from what I've noticed) - The watercolor type only appeared in The Way of Water, so we haven’t seen these characters in the first movie, however this type is also valid

Ask the Bitches: “I Just Turned 18 and My Parents Are Kicking Me Out. How Do I Brace Myself?”

hi everyone. one of my worst nightmares has happened to me — my pc, which is essential for my work, has broken down and seems to be irreparable. the only option is to buy a new one, but my financial situation has been very difficult in the country that's going through the war.

commissions are one of the very few sources of income i have as a disabled person, so if you're interested/have additional questions, feel free to contact me here, on twitter or through [email protected].

in case you can't afford commissioning me but still want to show support, i have ko-fi (there's a goal to help my partner out, too).
