However you shouldn't release a training prototype. Artists do not release sketches. Architects do not sell concept drawings.

Actually artists do both of those things.

And some artists even specialize in sketches and concept drawings.

Sometimes professional graphic designers end up selling one of their concept pieces to a customer with a request of "no changes". Sometimes it's even the one the designer least liked and produced as number six of the minimum four concepts just to show the customer more options.
