Avatar Na'vi Body Paint Cosplay Looks As Good As The Movie's CGI
Recent Avatar Na'vi body paint cosplay looks just as good as the film's CGI characters. Released in 2009, the science-fiction adventure Avatar took the world by storm with its epic storytelling and stunning visuals. It garnered over $2.8 billion at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film of all-time. Following the success of the film, director James Cameron signed on to produce four sequels with the first, Avatar: The Way of Water, landing in theaters this year on December 16. Each subsequent sequel will be released in two year intervals.
Avatar centered a disabled ex-Marine who joins an experimental program which allows him to control a genetically-created Na'vi body; the Na'vi are a race of intelligent aliens on the planet Pandora. A Na'vi's key physical characteristic is their bright blue skin, which is covered in zebra-like patterns that span the entire body. The race's feline-structured face stands out from the predominantly humanoid appearance. The aliens also sport long braided hair, with a central longer braid that is also an appendage of their body used to communicate to each other and their guiding life force, Eywa.
