When was the last time we've seen concept art? And one of the recent dev blogs was about on of their artists

That blog was a major disappointment. DUST has some amazing art and very talented artists. CCP JuSan deserved more than 3 anemic paragraphs. Hopefully when the art team is less overworked they will have time to do a proper interview. The last "in development" image I can recall seeing was a few screenshots of the upcoming Minmatar complex back in November posted by the former dev CCP LogicLoop (I think).

I realize this isn't the first or last request for art, but it's starting to feel long overdue. I would be disappointed if CCP decided to wait until a week before 1.8 to release everything all at once. It would be much better to let the content trickle out every few days between now and the release.

I believe CCP Blowout currently has plans to feature another Artist in his upcoming Newsletter. Also, we're looking to release a few Dev Blogs about the upcoming changes in 1.8 in the weeks leading up to release -- not all in 1 week as you mentioned here! It's Patch Notes that generally land 1 week before Deployment.

I'd rather you guys get it right than try to rush something buggy out. Having said that, Feb. is more than halfway over, and 1.7 was released back in December. The last images we've seen of the missing suits was fanfest 2013, nearly a year ago. The last images of the socket you've been working on was ages ago, and we've never seen how the cloaking effects will look when stationary, moving slowly, sprinting, etc. I realize most of this stuff is still being worked on, but could we please get some previews of the upcoming goodies? It doesn't have to be a big, epic polished blog post, just some informal pics/video every few days. Even concept art would be better than nothing. Your art team does awesome work, you should show it off more. Best PvE idea ever!

I guess my point is if some suits are ready, you should post them and not wait for all suits to be perfect before posting them all at once in a big blog post that could take a while to draft, edit and get approved. Same for weapons, or other goodies. You can still do the blog posts, but don't let it hold you back from the occasional pic here and there. As always, I look forward to reading the newsletter, and seeing the fruits of your labor. Best PvE idea ever!

Can confirm - am CCP Blowout. We're trying to get an Artist Spotlight as a regular monthly feature from here on out. So far we are two for two, which is a fantastic 100% success rate. I'm very happy to hear it. The art is a big part of what makes this game so special. Keep up the good work. Best PvE idea ever!
