A bit of fun to lighten up the mood of the forum, superb.

I have a Spock already, so I'm going to work on the other 3.

And for those whose skills don't stretch to Avatar magic, try this out:

Note: They're looking for renditions of the new actors, not the original ones, my bad.

Trying to get Silar's eyes right as we speak.

Thanks Ted for letting us know about the compitition. Sounds like a good one, should be fun.

1 question though.

Does it have to be off the new movie or can it be the original characters from the series?

Thanks

Nice one, I might just have a bash at this for the fun of it!

[BenchyUK]

I'll give it a bash. I don't see a Chris Pine avatar being too difficult
