By seamlessly integrating the elements of familiar gunship warfare in an otherworld environment, illustrator Ryan Church achieved in this design the film's standard of balance between reality and fantasy.
"Neytiri and Thanator": The fiercest rainforest predator appears before Neytiri in a design that depicts one of the turning points in the film's third act battle. This illustration by artist Steven Messing emphasizes a hero standing her ground against a potential threat...or to a newfound ally.
"Willow Glade": Production Designer Robert Stromberg created a hallmark environment in this design that served as a backdrop to Jake's journey through the phantasmagorical depths of Pandora. In this scene Jake follows Neytiri to the Willow Glade where he will discover the interconnectedness of all living things past and present.
