>>35541281>They had the Sugimori art which the sprites are based off.Which I'd love to see if it still exists. I'm a big sucker for Sugimori's art.
There is that one illustration of Shelly and Courtney drawn in Sugimori's art style (and I've found one of Tabitha as well by a different artist) and I'm thankful it exists and looks good, but I'm also interested in how their original art/sketches looked like, especially those of Matt.
>GF probably didn't have to do as much character concept art for the older gamesI agree that they probably have to do a lot more concept art now (more specific too because of 3D modeling), but seeing as Team Aqua grunts looked a bit different at some point (not to mention the other villain-unrelated beta art that we know of, like the one of a blue haired girl in old-fashioned clothes who rides on some kind of Lati@s/Blaziken mutation) there might be some interesting art/information about RSE Team Aqua/Magma and other stuff that we don't know of yet. But I guess that's the case for every generation.
>>35541710I know, right? Every time I find a piece I haven't seen yet from these periods it feels like Christmas.
