I did a lot of research into the tribes mentioned in the story, not just online but at the library, until I had some idea of its practical &amp; symbolic nature, so we could adapt it to the story. That said, there\u2019s no way we could fill the next 2 eps with a topless cast, but I was certain that the show would\u2019ve done something like this to signify a dramatically different culture from the Mediterranean, &amp; it was historically accurate, so my plan was to occasionally suggest a clothing optional environment without being explicit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the eps show colorful costumes that gave the Amazon jungle a magical look, &amp; it was probably my favorite time on the season, working on those with the illustration team.
