I love the art of Wildstar. It's the reason I bought into the game and one of the reasons I'm still here.
 
As a professional graphic artist, I have always enjoyed seeing game/movie/cartoon artwork develop over time - from the beginning ideas to whatever form they end up taking. Wildstar is no different from any other graphical medium, at the proof is left laying around the internet for those with the gumption, to find.
 
I thought I'd seen everything (or most of everything) until I found this ...
 
 
Apparently, that was the Christmas card artwork from the Carbine Christmas cards back in 2012. Now, I know they've got plans for a Protostar Winter Extravaganza - but there is no way I'll be able to express my disappointment if Granok Claus doesn't show up.
 
Any other concept art you guys and gals wish had seen the light of day?

The green thing in the top right hand corner of this picture. I don't know what it's supposed to be, but it's freaking adorable.  :P

			Heh. Maybe he's what the little frizlets started as?

			The Really early stuff is great. Once I get home I'll post more of it.

			I was hoping they would have released their concept art in book form.. but alas, that did not happen.

I'm not sure, honestly. Your guess is as good as mine. He kinda looks like he'd fit in with the whole Aurin/Celestion theme though.
 
And speaking of "really early stuff".. Here's some textures for a (playable) race that didn't make the cut, and some old artwork from when Wildstar was being developed under a different name.

Back when Drusera was the main antagonist, I guess.
 
I like that Belle hasn't changed at all.

Are you sure it's Evil Drusera (or Drusera the Betrayer as some old files called her) and not Mog-Mog's mask-empowered Laveka?
The Mordesh were truly undead-y back then, every lady had skimpier clothes, Aurin still had no male counterparts (officially) and last but not least, Chua had no underwear.

You mean the undead raising Draken chick in Deradune? That would be quite the demotion from 'big bad' on a would-be poster to just-another-quest-boss.

Nope I'll say this one might still be in main atangonist, but in the shadows. Necromancer Draken Laveka.
