I still don't under stand why they won't/can't release the concept art.
They still didn't release a proper concept art of the Dire Wolf, for instance.
Possible reasons:
1- They don't value these concept arts as we do;
2- They are afraid to show the awesome art by Alex Iglesias in large sizes because it will be compared with the (not as good) in-game art;
3- They are saving the art for releasing some sort of physical book like "The Art of MWO";
4- They don't like repaints because people should paint their mechs in-game instead;
5- They are lazy to make available these images;
6- They are afraid these images would take too much space in the site.
The original concept arts by Alex Iglesias must be even larger than the good ones we see out here. It would only take someone in PGI to upload these files. Heck, if they want to save space in their site (which is ridiculous) they could even upload these files into
any free image hosting site out there.
Which makes me to believe the options 1, 2 and 4 are the real reasons.
Alex, I hope your contract allows you to release someday your art, somehow. It is too good to be kept just in a wall somewhere inside PGI's office.
