Very impressive, Asganafer!
Any chance of an English version for those of us who don't speak fluent Italian?

Would you need a particular size image to be able to work with?

I had a look at the tutorial and would like to try it; like previous posters have said an English language version would be nice or I suppose we could try Google Translate!

Given Avatar's leading man is Sam Worthington and given his heritage, its easy to see where they got those ears from in the movie ... ;)

There isn't a particular size of image. In my opinion the best thing is to have a big image, but i done this tutorial on small image too ;) So you can do on all image :)

Thanks Asganafer! :bigthup
I may have to give your tutorial a try, but I'm not sure what male Avatar characters look like. I think I'll have to google this to find out. ;)

I've tried using Google Translate on Asganafer's website and I have to say it's actually not bad!
There are a few words not translated at all and some phrases mistranslated but generally it's good
enough to get the gist of the tutorial.

For example, the opening section in Italian:

Quote:
Voglio diventare un AVATAR!

Buongiorno a tutti! :) Dopo aver visto il film di Avatar molti di voi si saranno domandati “Ma come sarei io
se fossi un Na’Vi?”. Beh oggi siamo qui per rispondere a questa domanda. Siete pronti a scoprirlo?
Prima di cominciare procuriamoci i seguenti materiali:
•Foto (quella che volete voi, io ho scelto questa)
•Sfondo
•Iride
•Capelli
•Orecchie
•Perline
•Piuma di gallina
•Font

Dopo esserci procurati tutto il necessario partiamo aprendo la nostra immagine.

gets translated as:

Quote:
I want to become an AVATAR!

Hello everyone! :) After watching the film Avatar many of you may have wondered, "How would I be if
I were a Na'Vi?". Well today we are here to answer this question. Are you ready to find out? Before
starting procuriamoci the following materials:
• Photos (what you want, I chose this )
• Background
• Iris
• Hair
• Ears
• Beads
• Feather chicken
• Font

After we procured everything necessary we start opening our image.

The translator hasn't recognised "procuriamoci" (the imperative form of the verb to procure) and
"Piuma di gallina" has been mistranslated as "Feather chicken" instead of "Chicken feather" :rofl

But I think this is good enough for us to get the gist of Asganafer's tuts.

I know, I don't like it either but I didn't know what to do with the girls head. I had to select all her skin but a lot of it was with hair over it so I tried to hide it with a hat. I will try some more to fix it.
Edit: There I fixed it, is that better Wallace? :teeth

It looks a bit better, but that hat really doesn't go with an Avatar character.
I tried making one with an image of myself,but it came out terrible so I trashed it.

Some advice for your work ;) In my opinion you must to change hair (please xD) because they are innatural and the image of hair is too much small for your subject.
After that try to review color strip on the skin, make them more darker and shade it on the center.
Another advice is refer to the eyes. Try to use shade tool and shade the border of yellow and after that remove white point in the centre of pupil :gimp
In the end take care about the light! Remember that you must use elements where the light have the same direction! :)

Try again and re-submit your work :)
And thanks to all for visit my tut :yes
