High Def Look at Aang's Arrow

Postby Battery » Tue Jun 23, 2009 9:11 pm

Ok... if any of you are like me, you have noticed the M. Night took some liberty in... changing up Aang's arrow a bit. However, we haven't had a good pisture of the arrow before. Well, here it is!

Very sick! But my dad made a very good point... How are they going to make an arrow made of little doodles glow? O_o

Just make the lines glow. Think Tron style, only good.

And I'm wondering if that would be more or less painful than a fully colored in tattoo. Probably less.

I actually like the form better than the show, but it would be nice to keep the blue. Though I realize that it wouldn't work if it were animated, and that the blue on actual skin wouldn't look that good either.

You just made me laugh. xD
If we had karma, I'd give you some.

But you do have a point, the only thing is, Tron style was on a much larger scale, these lines are teeny.

Ah good! I've been trying to get a good look at that darn arrow since I noticed there was something odd about it. I don't know about you guys but I think it looks cool, but yes, please make it glow!

I was wondering if anyone was old enough and had bad enough tastes in movies to remember Tron. Man that was bad.

But I think it wouldn't be hard to have the lines start glowing, not much harder than having to have his eyes start glowing as well.

Well, I'm not sure I'm old enough to remember when I came out, BUT I do know what it is. xD

Well, back then the computer graphics weren't as good as they are now, so it's possible they can pull it off. We'll have to see.

I'm not sure I was alive for the premire, but I do remember renting it once or twice (that I'd admit too).

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the effect, so long as they keep it overall arrow shaped.

I do wonder how long it would take to paint that on each day though. I hope its just like a rub on tattoo that they printed up a bunch of, but if that's hand work for every day he is in a scene, thats some major makeup time for a bald guy.

I remember Tron. I dreamt Tron during surgery once. Don't ask. lol But yeah, my brother loved it as a kid so I saw it a few times. Aren't they making a sequel?

Sweet mother of God and all her wacky nephews! That is awesome in ink form, I think it looks better then the shows version. The air nomad symbol was a nice touch, though I'll admit that when I saw the first saw saw it it screamed "Shoot me here!"

Wow...looks very detailed alright. Even adding the Air Nation symbols quite nice. I recall seeing that in the trailer.

I think the arrow looks fantastic!
It would look pretty stupid if it was solid and light blue, and when it starts to glow it will most likely look solid anyway.
I love the detail of the Air Nomad symbol.

The arrow did have a meaning. The whole point behind the arrow is beated now.

I like the changes. It's realistic. Big blue arrows wouldn't look realistic for live action.

The arrow looks really detailed, however, this makes me wonder if Appa's arrow would be the same.

I don't care if it looks better or worse in real life, that arrow must be solid blue. The movie is ruined T_T

I wouldn't say it's "ruined". There are many aspects that could ruin the movie, not just the fact that Aang's tattoo isn't blue. I can see why M.Night decided to take a different approach towards the tattoo.

I like it really.


Were you guys expecting a bubble gum tattoo? All blue and fake? No, it looks amazing, authentic and very detailed.
