Of course I didn't mean that hand painted art can't be used as the actual game art, or animated. But the fact is, the raw concept art is NOT the same art that's used in the final game, even if the final game happens to have a very hand-painted feel or uses the same scene as can be seen in the concept stage. The concept art just isn't made with "playing" on it in mind; what it does is give direction to the artists who then create the in-game art itself.
In any case, I'm also sure the person who first said they wish you could just use concept art in the game further back in this thread weren't trying to be so literal about it as some people have interpreted it.
