Exploration
The exploration stage of a game character or environment is the very beginning when developing a game. At first very few basic sketches will be put in front of other developers and it will go from there. The beginning stages are just about finding whats best for the character and his surroundings.
This is the exploration stage for the game Journey, it is exploring how the game will look and feel when someone is playing it.
In the first picture its shows how the development team might want to character to move around as well as look, there are several pencil sketches of the character in different positions indicating several ideas for how the character will move, jump and fly.
The second picture is an idea for the environment, it is a light pencil sketch of one of the levels which is a desert scene, there isn't much else going on because there if the idea gets turned down then its a waste of time
The final picture is objects within the game, again they are only light sketches and have no real form on them and are just examples of what could be implemented into the game.

Approval
The approval stage of game art is after the character, environment or object has been accepted by the lead artist or project manager then the artist goes away and created a better looking version with colour and more defining features to it.
This level can be released to the public and see how they feel about it and if they like the look of the game then it is more likely that the game will be released.
This stage of development gives them a feel for what the game will be like and whether or not to carry on with the production with it. It is a very important stage of the concept art prgress.

Promotion
The final level of the art process is the promotional level. This type of concept art will be on adverts for the game and is where the development of the art stops. The final image has been altered, lighting has been added and detail has been put into all the little spots.
The final part of the concept art progress usually means the game has been finalised and confirmed and usually indicates a finished game.
