Why does the mad king look different in the concept art?
From Wikipedia: “Concept art is a form of illustration where the main goal is to convey a visual representation of a design, idea, and/or mood for use in films, video games, animation, or comic books before it is put into the final product. Concept art is also referred to as visual development and/or concept design.”
The final product in media like this will often be different from the concept art, yet contain what is deemed the best elements from many pieces of concept art.
If you are wondering why they didn’t use a more accurate depiction, I couldn’t say. I can only assume it was the coolest picture they had :P
Because it’s a concept.
It’s the very nature of concept art for the final product to look different in various ways.
I was thinking about how the pic reminded me of Flame Legion armor (I think that’s what it’s called…). Maybe this is just how the Mad King would look if his helmet box was unchecked.
Concept art is a rough illustration of what it will look like, they can adjust it for the final appearance.
