Jak and Daxter (4) concept art is downright lovely.

　　The art direction, at any rate, takes a more realistic approach to design, with more true-to-life accuracy, giving a more lifelike and natural appearance to Jak. Daxter, then, would likely be far more ferocious looking, though isn't depicted.

　　Concept art doesn't necessarily translate into the final art direction for the game itself, but sometimes it does form the basis for what we see. The original Jak and Daxter concept art ended up being about what we saw as the final product even.

That isn't to say that it won't be a possibility in the future, just that it might not be on the table right now.
