Since the final concept drawings are very elaborate (out of a wish to present the 3D artists with as many details as possible), these can be used for marketing and advertising; we even had some of them printed on canvas and then pimped our offices with them! It would be waste to imprison them on a HDD after all, they were painted by the artist Paul Campion who will also be doing the concept art for the upcoming Harry Potter movie!
When the object has been modelled, another, more detailed version of the object will be built with a program called ZBrush. ZBrush was used in the making of the Lord of the Rings movies, among other things, and allows the construction of exquisite objects with millions of polygons! Unnecessary to tell you that this steps usually takes another few days.
