It's been a while since I've posted so I'm not sure if this is in the right section.

But a long time ago, Russ or one of the other big 3 said the reason we weren't getting any more mech concept art was because IGP marketing wasn't allowing them to post it anymore.

Now that they are gone, can we please get the rest of the concept art for all the mechs? The media section of the website has been seriously neglected for a long time and is missing a lot of mechs and art. Also, could we possibly get the King Crab concept art? It would be amazing to see how FD envisioned it for MWO and it would generate a lot of hype for December.

Seeing concept art or new art in general for my favorite games, is one of my favorite things. Even after said new things have been implimented, I love to see it. Give us all mech concept AND some WiP's and/or stuff you've played around with for MWO!

Okay I want to show you.

Web developers are tied up on the new clan wave 2 and getting the a la carte options working among other things.

But perhaps we can just post it in the forums for now. I'm sure some of you have kept track, what have we missed releasing?

Once upon a time, concept art preceded mech release by months (nevermind the Flea, we know you'll get there some day). We've heard rumor of the Mauler, confirmation of the KingCrab, and who knows what in the future.
The concept art pieces must exist before a mech gets commited to 3D art assets for in-game, I think the request in this thread is to go back to the old days, where we saw this art months before mech release.

Will take a bit of time to compile a list, and I cant get to it right away (primary reason im on an LTE connection getting close to my limit lol 4.6GB in and 11 days left...). So is there anyone out there that has the time to scour the forums and find the missing art?

In the concept art section, you've missed all the Clan Mechs so far and a few Inner Sphere, I think. I would love to have access to all of them, to be honest. I enjoy looking at the work Alex creates.

I loved the concept art as well! It got everyone excited and pumped for a mech release. Now it just happens.

Alex should have his own thread (or subforum, even) with all the concept art since the beginning of the game.

Basically everything past the Phoenix and Saber packs haven't been posted. You've shown us the Clan mechs (the first batch) but none were ever archive. Any and all new mechs haven't been shared yet.

I'd just suggest posting them in a gallery and update it with relevant links and information later (I mean all of them). :ph34r:

Hope he gets some posted soon. Some King Crab concept art would probably be the coolest. I'll settle for clan mech's and just anything really...

Okay obviously we need to get the media section of the web site up to date. But your right perhaps I can have Alex set up a new thread in the appropriate area and start posting the missing art from the already released mechs and work our way forward.

I gotta say, you are much more well received when you spend your time posting here. Please keep doing this. :)
