This is splendid work ! A agree with the “art of” book being quite dissapointing…At least we get to enjoy and admire your work for the film on your website. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us !

Jordu, your artwork and portfolio of sculptures are really impressive. Amazing stuff you got here!
I also would like to congratulate you by your contribuition on design of Avatar characters, you did a great job man! Jim shouldn’t have underestimated the importance of sculpture in the design process.
Thanks for sharing and being a reference for me and so many others.

Jordu, Your doing what I can only dream of. Your efforts didn’t go unrecognized. I do think Jim missed out on a lot of your artistic potential by not allowing sculpture work until later on. Sounds to me that he’s stuck in the high tech world. Your one of the best creature and character designers out there. I know the movie was a success and all, but I also went to it because I knew you had some input in it as well.

Hey Jordu,

Your work speaks for itself.

To bad the art book wasn’t up to par.

Hey looks like today it will pass Titanic for all time movie gross.

Amazing!

Thank you Jordu for all these details. You already talked about this in one of your Podcast or maybe an interview, but with less revelation.

My only regret will be that we can not see all this work in the different books around the movie.
In fact they should produce another one, with more of yours and Neville and Rosengrant and others works. You really deserve this.

Now I am waiting for your next NERRDCAAST!

Jordu-

The exact same thing happened to me on Coraline (among other projects) and, I am definitely not happy with my credit there… Sculpture, and design through sculpture, is absolutely critical and will always be an invaluable way to find a character, creature, or any design. It is the least understood form of artistic expression at most times as you know. Your work on Avatar is evident, at least to me. I would have loved to have worked along side you on such a tremendous project. Congratulations, and I remember when we were going out to lunch with Phil, and you said, I want to work on something, BIG! Well, you now have, and, it, is amazing.

Your work continues to inspire me and hopefully, on my part, we will get the opportunity to work together again on something better than we did.

Your colleague,

Damon

Jordu…Congratulations on all your amazing work you did on the movie! It was a beautiful film; the world of Pandora was so believable. Thanks for letting me spent so much time around you. You taught me so much invaluable material that will stick with me forever (not to mention how much fun I had). It was the highlight of my 2 years in LA, and I will never forget it!
