Interplay has re-released a piece of concept art that was amongst Interplay's court filings to their forums, namely the Frozen Shipyard piece (which was available at DaC with ugly watermarks and The Vault without said watermarks earlier).
The concept artist, Serg Souleiman explains that none of these pieces are really telling us anything about the game.<blockquote>I just wanted to clarify the purpose of these exploratory concept art pieces that I been posting.
They were really early pre-production images that we were exploring with Jason Anderson at the beginning of the project.
The purpose of images is to "explore" ideas, settings, color, mood, environments and to see how far we can push them visually. Some may be way out of the realm of possibilities, others have elements that will be used and/or expanded on.
These images also help the designers like Chris Taylor to fuel design ideas and stories.
These images are not the actually in game art, or anything in that nature. They were randomly selected to show the fans and see what the reaction would be.
I feel it’s a good way of keeping in touch with the fans. It's great to read your “constructive reasoning" and input on these images.
There are many more images that we have that you will one day get to see.
On a final note;
Think of the concepts as notes, or drafts before one was to write a book. Not all of these note or ideas end up in the final book but they do serve a purpose.
Thank you all for all the feedback..</blockquote>Thanks King of Creation.
