Description The book I have says queue bonding is highly erotic and intensely spiritual, and I wanted to capture an intimate moment where they were both vulnerable, but I didn't want it to be distasteful. Besides, I'm not entirely sure if they are physically the same as humans, so I'm not going to draw it.

Na'vi, Pandora, Avatar belong to James Cameron.

I hope you guys like this.

Please don't steal them. Interrupting their first bonding would be mean as hell.

I'nen belongs to my friend.
Arae'em and the art belong to me.

EDIT: I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DO NOT LOOK AT IT, DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT HIT FAVE. AND ESPECIALLY DON'T LECTURE ME ABOUT MY OWN DAMN PIECE OF ARTWORK.

Sorry about that. Have a nice day.

Nice comments, and HELPFUL Critique, are appreciated.

EDIT EDIT - DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT THEIR SEXES. JUST IMAGINE THEM HOWEVER YOU LIKE.

EDIT EDIT EDIT- FOR GODS SAKE I KNOW THAT JAMES SAID THEY SCREW SIMILAR TO HUMANS, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY HAVE GENITALIA EXACTLY LIKE A HUMAN'S. I HAVE THE GODDAMN BOOK. I READ IT. I PROMISE. THEY ARE NOT SCREWING. THEY ARE ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY.

EDIT x 4.

THIS PARAGRAPH CAME DIRECTLY FROM THIS BOOK.
[link]

[[[[The Na'vi are monogamous creatures who mate for life. The mechanics of reproduction are similar to that of humans and other Terran mammals. However, their unique physiology provides the Na'vi with a level of intimacy unknown on Earth. Cultural anthropologists believe that when an appropriate mate has been selected (which can take many years), the male and female Na'vi will connect queues (called Tsahaylu) to create an emotional bond that lasts a lifetime. The intertwining of queues is both highly erotic and profoundly spiritual, but does not in itself lead to reproduction. ]]]



The rest of this came from the Pandora Wiki. I am unsure of it's reliability. Do not quote me one this.

Traditionally, once a Na'vi male has passed the tests on the path to manhood and has been accepted into the clan as an adult, he is not only allowed to make his bow from the wood of the Hometree, but he is also expected to choose his woman. After the woman has been chosen, the new couple are mated before Eywa.

Jake Sully chooses Neytiri to become his mate, and she accepts and mates with him under the Tree of Voices following his acceptance into the Omaticaya clan as 'One of the People'.

Once Tsahaylu is made between the couple, the ultimate in intimacy, pleasure that is unfathomable to humans, causes the somewhat unwillful sharing of the couple's good memories, and is a sign of Eywa's acceptance. If a couple can be foreseen to not have a pleasant or happy future, Eywa has been known to reverse the feeling produced by making Tsahaylu, a sign to the couple that mating would only, in simple words, ruin their lives together, and therefore prevents the mating, because of it's life-long span. After the resulting embracing and kissing, the couple is sent to sleep by Eywa, and the two dream hintings of their future together. The couple will experience the pleasure of Tsahaylu from the moment of connection, until they awaken and have completed mating, when they disconnect and return to the clan, mated for life.


SO. WHAT I GET FROM THIS INFORMATION.

Queue bonding is just that, bonding. I suppose it's like marriage but on a physical level. The mechanics of reproduction are like humans, the book says so. This means that the bonding ADDS to the both the physical and mental relationship, has more meaning than sex, but is not sex.

Fft, I read the entire artist's comment three times ._.

I see nothing wrong with this, I didn't even think of mating type.. things with these poses, I thought of cuddles and snuggles xD..

But anyway, I think it's gorgeous <3 ;-; I Lovelovelove that hair..

and, please excuse the fave-bomb you're probably getting from me. D;

I don't know Why I kept forgetting to watch you, your such an amazing artist.

kessir [2011-02-02 10:20:32 +0000 UTC]

Very nice artwork Even though i must say both look like females (from their hairdo), but thats ok. I find it especially amazing how you did the poses, such complex poses involving two characters are often a obstacle for many artists but you mastered that pretty well I must say!

And about the arguement you wrote into your comment, I suppose most people have watched the video of the Avatar porn by happy harry, and I must admit, so have I and I have not read the book, but i gues the bonding of queue's could be described as a french kiss between them, just much longer and more intense: Its not exactly sex but part of the sexual act (to some).

Nicely done. Good work. But I noticed that the female wears all kinds of stuff and the male just one at his tail and one at his ankle. I think you should've balanced it. Nevertheless, it's a great drawing.

I like how they sort of appear androgenous... I originally thought they were both female in the thumbnail, and i was like: WOAH THAT'S NEW.
But i'm equally glad that you've captured the intimate moment like this. It really speaks to me and the values that have affected me in my growth.
I also really really like the costuming that you two created for these characters >*O I wish I could wear that stuff on a daily basis.

No thanks. Catgel is a liar and and supports art theft, and there are reasons I left the group.

Thanks for the invite, but none of my Avatar art will EVER be in Pandora's box again unless she apologizes.

Yeah, it's probally almost like seeing into each other's souls and minds.

Once again...

I WISH I WERE NAV'I!!!!!I WANT TO LIVE ON FERN GULLY PLANET MADE OF NEON LIGHT TOO!!!!!

Don't yell at me, Pandora had fern gully written all over it. And did you notice how the plots are almost the same? They are, I mean it. Go watch fern gulley and you'll see how the plots are the same.

Anyways, they do look so sweet.

So the Nav'i`s "hair" isn't really hair at all? Because it had some sort of tenticals on it, I remember. Probally connects to thier celebreal cortex.

Nautilusisamollusk [2010-04-23 21:19:26 +0000 UTC]

... XD Wow. What I view as a very tasteful and very well done piece of artwork apparently has been taken as something else by others.

Very well done, and very pretty. I don't imagine gender has as much of a role in Na'vi culture as it does in ours, aside from perhaps the obvious inability of two males or two females to mate and produce young. But, on a spiritual level, who says one's soul mate must be of the opposite gender?

The way you did the picture is so fascinating,so magic, so lovely ^^ Not only for the beautiful moment the couple is in, but also the colors and the atmosphere.

And don't worry, I've been playing at the PC game, which has a little enciclopedia (Pandorapedia) and also mentions queue bonding, so I agree with you in everything
