They did have full body artwork of Miller in MGS, though, so even that's not exactly a reason. Yeah I'm aware, but Miller himself doesn't really appear in the game itself at all and therefore the artwork of related to him went more or less unused in the game itself. One could easily come up some excuses, how artwork doesn't match description of Miller given in the later games; it could be kinda like based on older photo of him, or it could actually be Liquid in Miller-disguise, or they just simply retconned the old artwork making it "uncanon", or maybe miller just found really great prosthetic-maker and used some skin like texture to hide his artificial limbs. What ever the reason, it doesn't change the fact that Miller is basically no-show in MGS1 and the first game we actually see him in flesh in is Peace Walker.
