Description
Katniss is a complex character. Even after 3 books in her head, I can't still decide if I like her or not. She's fierce, brave, loyal but sometimes she's just...I don't know...not doing the right thing. She even hurted Peeta ! And I can't forgive her for that !
But, oh well, I suppose I like her in the end !Faber castell polychromos on Canson colored paper

Well, if you think about it, she didn't intentionally hurt Peeta. She was thrust in a situation where she was forced to pretend to love Peeta for the survival of both of them. The tragedy is that she thought Peeta was pretending in the same manner, but he was not. This is not Katniss' fault, nor is it Peeta's. It's just a sad situation. You can see in Catching Fire how much hurting Peeta bears on her conscious, she is not without guilt for hurting him. However, what should she do? Force herself to be with someone she didn't at this point love? The situation is sad, but I do love Katniss. I hope this helps you to love her too!

Actually, I love Katniss, but sometimes, I didn't understand her choices. You can feel in the end of the first book that she already liked Peeta very much. The kiss in the cave is a good example, or even, when they went back to district 12 in the end of the first book and she didn't want to drop his hand. She never loved Gale this way. She even described him as a "hunt partner", not as a lover. I didn't understand why she questioned herself so much at the end of the first book, because, from my point of view it's obvious she already like Peeta. And Peeta, from the very first beginning showed her he really and truely likes her. I understand your point of view, and sometimes I understand her (Nobody wants to be forced to love someone), but Peeta is a perfect guy and she likes him, so why ignoring him during 3 book ?! (Yeah, she didn't really ignored him, I know, but she could be nicer with him too)

I think she did have feelings for Peeta, but while I think they were obvious to the reader, I don't think they were as obvious from Katniss' perspective. I do also think she had feelings for Gale, at least at some point. Katniss is just a mix of confusion, I think, and I love her for it.

Yeah, you're right. And definitely she has really no time to think about her feelings and which guy to pick. She must save her life. And I love her strengh too. But, I love Peeta too, and I wanted to cuddle him all the time ! XD

I love this version!
I always seen Katniss a bit darker than Jennifer Lawrence... But what Jennifer brings to the character I really LOVE.
I can see Katniss as a mexican/white mix personally...

Jennifer Lawrence is really a great actress. She did a really good job in the movie (even if I wasn't really pleased by the director's interpretation) but she's not the Katniss I have in my head !
Anyway thank you for your kind words ! I'm glad you like this version !

I was surprised how much Jennifer fit what I had in my head. If she was a bit more tan, it would have been on spot.
And yea, I loved the movie, but I'm trying not to compare it too much to the book as for every little detail.... But I don't like the fact they changed the fact of who gave the MockingJay pen... That was what bothered me the most...
And you're welcome

Oh yeah you're right ! I noticed the detail of the Mockinjay pen too ! Actually I think the film was good, and the actors played their part, really well (especially Jennifer, I agree with you), but I though it was really fast. Some parts aren't explained at all (for example the origin of the tense relationship between Katniss and her mother, her depression when Katniss's father died...), and I though it goes to fast, so you don't really have time to love the characters and to be affected by what happened to them. Especially during Rue's story. It was so sad in the book but I didn't feel anything during the movie...Weird. Anyway I'm curious about the 2nd movie coming out this winter !

I really like how you gave her the dark, olive complexion that she was supposed to have! Just like the books described! Same with Gale!

I really tried to draw them the way I imagine them ! That was fun to do ! I'm really happy you like them ! Thank you so much !

Yes!! You are very welcome! It's a shame that the movie Katniss does not fit the description, but she was a good actress.

I really enjoy Katniss's character, she isn't a very nice or likeable person but I understand why she acts the way she acts and therefore I can respect her character.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, definitely. She's a great character. She is a great leader, she is brave and calm, and rarely scared. But, sometimes, she's so strong that she's becaming less human. And then, it's hard to understand her. Especially with Peeta. You can feel, even in the end of the first book that she really likes him. But until the end, she hides it. I can understand why, but she hurted Peeta in the process. And he's far too likeable to be hurted this way ! Poor boy !

Pareil que toi, je ne sais pas si j'aime Katniss ou pas. A certains passages, j'ai juste une méga envie de lui en coller une. En même temps, elle est passée par des trucs horribles, elle a du tuer, voir mourir des gens qu'elle aimait, alors que c'est juste encore qu'une gamine. Il faut une certaine force de caractère pour survivre, et il y a de quoi finir archi brisé (surtout à la toute fin, quand elle ment pour la mission pour aller tuer le président, que son équipe se fait décimer et tout ça... Pour absolument rien. Ils seraient revenus au camp comme prévu, rien n'aurait changé, si ce n'est que son équipe serait vivante).
D'ailleurs, j'aime le fait que l'auteur n'hésite pas à "détruire" son personnage, mentalement comme physiquement (cheveux tous brûlés, peau abîmée partout). Moi à la toute fin, je l'imagine le corps plein de cicatrices très moches même (parce que si elle a été soignée, sa nouvelle peau toute fragile est partie en lambeau avec ses vêtements).
Pour finir, ton fanart me rappelle l'horrible habitude hollywoodienne de "blanchir" les héros. Pour moi Katniss a la peau sombre, en film on se retrouve avec une blanchette. (Comme dans avatar: Sokka et Katara, clairement inspirés du peuple Inuit, ont la peau toute foncée. Dans le film, ils sont plus blancs que blanc. Agaçant.)

Katniss est un personnage ultra fort. Elle sait survivre, et prendre les bonnes décisions pour ça. Mais elle a aussi un côté très froid, parfois. Sauf, avec Prim. Mais même avec Gale et Peeta, parfois, je la trouve trop rude. Après, voilà, j'ai passé 3 livres dans "sa tête", je ne peux que m'y être attaché, mais ce n'est pas mon personnage favori...
J'ai été déçu par le film Hunger games. Je ne l'ai vu que récemment, et même si, le scénar' reste très fidèle à ce qui se passe dans le bouquin, je trouve que tout va trop vite et qu'on n'a pas le temps de s'attacher aux personnages. J'avais l'impression de ne pas du tout être émue ou touchée par eux. Pourtant, les acteurs jouent bien (notamment ceux qui interprètent Katniss et Peeta), mais malgré tout, j'étais sceptique. Et puis, ils ne ressemblent vraiment pas à ce que j'ai dans la tête ! :/
Pas vu le film Avatar. J'ai pas eu le courage ! XD J'aime tellement la série animée que je n'ai pas encore eu le cran de me l'imposer...mais bon, rien que pour critiquer en toute connaissance de cause, faudrait !

Tu ne rates rien en ratant le film XD. Ils ont même changé la "nature" de la maitrise de feu. Alors que dans la série, les maitre de feu créaient le feu par leur souffle, dans le film ils ont besoin de feu à côté...
Sinon j'ai le même avis que toi pour le film. Même si c'est assez fidèle, tout va trop vite. Malgré tout, j'ai bien aimé Peeta dedans quand même (peut-être parce que je l'adore trop dans le livre.)

Peeta était bien interprété, mais physiquement, il était trop différent pour moi (ce n'est en rien la faute du pauvre acteur hein c'est juste que ce n'est pas comme dans ma tête !). Aie aie aie. Ça fait peur ce que tu me dis là pour le film Avatar ! M'enfin je crois qu'un jour, juste pour le fun, j'essaierai de le regarder histoire de pouvoir critiquer en toute connaissance de cause !

Ah oui, le blanchissement hollywoodien..Je suis d'accord !Et à côté de ça, Cinna est interprété par Lenny Kravitz..Je t'avoue, là, je n'ai pas compris ! XD

I don't think of her as the great person many fans think of her as for many of the reasons you've said. Plus, she's always...eating. Everyone is always eating in those books. When there was one person she and Peeta had to kill, she wants to go huntin' turkeys instead. They just ate and have rations!
Aaaanyway. What I like about this drawing here is that you made it more literal to the description and this is your vision. Jennifer Lawrence is a cool person, but she doesn't fit that description but many people probably think of her first when thinking of the books.

I think Jennifer Lawrence is a great actress, really. She did a great job. But she doesn't look like the Katniss I have in my head !
I'm really glad you like it. Thanks for your kind words !

Elle est très classe, elle a ce petit côté "trop sérieux" qui correspond bien à ce que je m'imaginais en lisant. Beau travail meuf! Keep it up!
