A piece of concept art for an unused Na'vi elder shared by artist Joseph C. Pepe, which is featured in The Art of Avatar: James Cameron's Epic Adventure, highlights just how daunting a task it was to create all of Avatar's flora and fauna, especially the Na'vi. Pepe stated: "While working for Stan Winston Studio in late 2004, myself, Christopher Swift and Supervisor John Rosengrant visited James Cameron at Lightstorm Entertainment in Santa Monica, CA to read the Avatar scriptment and receive a download of information and artwork. This was our introduction to begin a two week "trial by fire" process to bring our take to the characters, the Na'vi, for Project 880, the working name of Avatar We were given 14 days to show Cameron "something new, further develop the characters and bring them some new life." At the time, Cameron had stated that the film would be photorealistic once completed and felt the extreme pressure to illustrate something that would impress him. Shown here is the very first image of a Na'vi that I created in a photorealistic style. At the time Cameron did not express any emotion during the review, only that he recognized the Sea Slug bioluminescence that I used on the forehead, Cameron said "That is a Pelagic Nudibranch, Phylliroe bucephala." My mouth agape in total astonishment that not only did he recognize what type of animals' bioluminescence had used, he also knew its scientific name. Fortunately, my dedicated research paid off in a way that I would only understand after working with Cameron for a number of years. He loves research about Earth, Science, Flora, Fauna, Anthropology and Ethnology. Not only is he a genius in filmmaking but also Science and Engineering."
