Sure!

Let’s start with some wildlife. I love this artwork of Kiri and Spider watching baby medusoids 🥹

And these are shots from a scene that was ultimately cut from a movie. We were supposed to see a montage of Pandora’s landscapes and wildlife from aboard the Windtrader caravan; including a huge Hammerhead migration (image 1).

Concepts of Spider’s transformation; the artists noticed they wanted the sequence to mimic a butterfly sprouting from its cocoon.

Metkayina coming-of-age celebration! It was supposed to feature and entire underwater party for the tulkun, a dance where young Na’vi bond and dance with their spirit siblings, AND, AND, UNDERWATER DRUMS. Played inside these giant shells, thereby bringing the party directly to the tulkun!

One of the concepts of the swamp region made for that chase scene. Turns out, it’s not your normal swamp; this region flooded about a 100 years prior and turned into a yucky soup made of rotting debris and fungus. It’s still full of life, but as we saw in the movie, not nearly as vibrant as the rest of the forest. There was also another concept (posted by the artist on insta some time ago) of there being giant centipedes in the water as Sullies and Quaritch passed through, but it was cut :(
