Heya! It's been a while since I shared a work-in-progress of my latest character project here!

But here goes; this will probably be my last work-in-progress before sharing the final render. I just need to make some final tweaks to her necklace and some other small improvements.

Other than that though, I am really happy with how this fanart is coming along!

This quick breakdown of the arm shot in Avatar: The Way of the Water is so good. Originally I thought it was all CG, because the work by is so good, I could have believed it. And there are still so many shots that still boggle my mind

"Shadow in the Cloud" is.... quite a ride. WW2 era, claustrophobic, but with a modern synthesizer sound ("Escape from New York" vibes in that regard). Kudos to somebody daring to propose that script, somebody signing off on it and somebody actually going through with it ( by !)

But don't watch any trailers (total spoilers)! Trashy movies are only fun if you are actually taken aback by where they end up after going completely off the rails 🍿

@bevan and a great segue into their films. Out of interest, did this model come about after they did Avatar? The tie-ins and story behind the and the features of the film are very strong. I wonder if you could help the cause on the back of the forthcoming sequel? #

I have a lot to be thankful, but most importantly, I thank my friends and family for enriching my life. I also want to thank radio for playing such magnificent, classical music, particularly today. I began my day listening to Bach and Grieg, and I concluded it by listening to ’s and ’s . Hallelujah!
