So I've had this for around 10 years now,
I'm not even sure if its actually published anywhere or if it was something that CCP just sent to a hand full of us customers.
But the story behind it is, if i remember correctly is that back in like 2004-05 range eve actually had downloadable executable patches, well..
eve was booming and their servers could not handle the load from a new patch that was released, so a hand full of us up the patch up for the others to DL as mirror sites basically. I being a college student had no issues with giving out my college bandwidth and hosted the patch....

a few weeks late i got a nice letter from CCP with the enclosed Concept Art, i think it was for sleeper drones or something, but i'm not quite sure.

Thought i would share though.
*also i know its dated 02, but i'm pretty sure we got this around 04*


Enjoy

That pic comes from this file: Eve old concept art Contains alot of old art sketches & concepts, both on ships as races.

Some of it is quite surprising (Gnosis existed for a decade before making it ingame! Also, Sansha saucer (never made it))
Love the happy outgoing & expressive Caldari Deteis women, not something you normally associate with the rigid serious Caldari Twisted


Sure enough its there! that's cool.
The one that was sent to me was on a pretty heavy piece of paper, it looks like it was printed with what would of been a very nice printer in 2004. I've never seen another picture of it before anywhere, but that entire collection looks cool.
Thanks for the link!

Good old hand-drawn concept art is always impressive and fun to look at.

Also, I still miss the Bruce Spence-esque Sebiestor males.

Very nice find! There's even more PDF's when you increase the file name's last digit!

What appears to have content is the range of: pcmovies.ign.com/pc/document/eve_050903_00[3-8].pdf

The IGN article that featured them is http://www.ign.com/articles/2003/05/09/eve-the-second-genesis-2

I believe it's also in the new Art of New Eden book that's coming soon P



Is that similar to the one from all those years ago?

Wait a second, page 42 at the bottom. Does that say "Drifters"?

I love the original racial concept art. Who did those? He/she is very talented.

Yup, even made it ingame (during beta at least) but as the Minmatar Leviathan Titan (Iapetan class), you can check this article I wrote about them for images: The Empire Titans, when big isn't big enough!

Note: old screenshots and all that, as those ships are no longer ingame, they've been replaced by the Titan ships we can use now.
