Thanks, Dan! :) That’s a really good idea, and I’m going to do that. :)

I prefer concept art to be stored in the folder that the final asset will be in. That way you can see a clear progression towards the final result just by scanning through the folder and seeing the models, textures, and concept in the same place. It also makes it quicker for the production artist to find the concept art.
