Concept Art - Creators, can we get names?
I have been a HUGE fan of Bungie concept art. Even the pen and ink drawings inside of the Marathon installation/rules/troubleshooting booklets.
Of course, Craig Mullins will always be one of my most favorite game-concept artists on the planet.
However, I think that I would be making a mistake and doing an immense disservice if I were to look at Destiny artwork, see something "Mullins-ish" and just assume it was done by Goodbrush. I know that there are many talented artists out in the world and some exceptional ones within Bungie. I don't like being in the dark as to who made an image that has captured my imagination.
So, is there a possibility, a reason not to, or would it be a good idea, to allow us to know who is responsible for the many concept and intra-production images that we're seeing? Some sort of sorting, tag, gallery or other way for art fans to recognize and link a name to their incredible work?
I know that EVERYTHING related to Bungie is a team effort, that no one "owns" the pie, but these little bites are so clearly the effort of talented people, I (for one) would like to know if my extra-favorite works are all from a single person (showing that I really connect to their particular style) or just to know whose work to keep my eyes open for when I am looking for something spectacular to put on a wall.
Anyone?

I am truly floored by this talent pool Bungie has. [quote]Exactly the sort of recognition and linkage that a good artist deserves. I would... like? hope? want? to see that if the concept and in-process artwork is ever galleried here on Bungie.Net that we can like, group, sort, filter, etc. based on the artist. Because some of this art is... well, it's incredible. Many many large entertainment titles (Star Wars, The Matrix, LoTR, etc.) all get concept art done, storyboarding, etc. and so much of that is never seen or appreciated by the audiences who would adore seeing such things. I am hoping that Bungie has an archivist. If not, maybe I should offer to be one. But there is so much good stuff that goes on and is never ever seen by the fans who would appreciate it, I would hate for such things to be lost.[/quote]
