James Cameron's Avatar Movie Concept Art Pictures




Here's some of the artwork that went into the design of the biggest movie 2010 had to offer, Avatar. A mish mash of story boards, artwork from the game and design sketches are yours to enjoy.


The above image is some early concept art of the heroine of Avatar, Neytiri.

This is next image is a larger one of the above of Ney’tiri. Her colour reminds me of Cortana from the Halo games:

Blue Smurf?


The next two shots are from the video game version of Avatar. They were first displayed at Microsoft's E3 in 2009 and were some of the first images released that showcased the look and feel of Pandora.

Yes, they may *only* be from the video game but they do show the concept Cameron was going for with Avatar and how close they were to how the Avatar movie ended up.

Check out the view of Pandora!
Helicopter and Dragon
This concept art for Avatar's mechanical man below is very reminiscent of Cameron's Aliens' film exosuit which Ripley wore in the show down with the mother alien. Indeed, a lot the ships and design that appeared in Aliens was recycled by James Cameron. This lead to some fans of the Halo game to think he had stolen design ideas from that series of games, however it quickly became apparent that Bungie had originally borrowed from Aliens!

And here's a shot of a similar an Avatar suit from the video game:
