I'm sure there is a ton of great stuff (although I should point out that other people from the development team have posted concept art, models, etc on the Ogier forums and on their own personal sites).

Unfortunately I don’t think I am allowed to show you stuff from the actual production of EFBB – the publisher is the legal owner of the material. However, I have some stuff I might write about in future articles that could end up including “fake” examples that should illustrate the ideas. We’ll see.

Any chance of seeing actual examples used in EFBB?

Looking forward to future articles…
