Where To Find Concept Art From Virtua Fighter 4?

Hi,
I randomly found these artworks of Pai Chan and Lion Rafale in VF4 outfit on the net.




It's very likely they have been drawn by Kenji Miyawaki since he's credited in the game and the characters share the same aesthetic with the concept arts he drew for Shenmue 1 & 2.



Any chance to get the other characters?

 

I have never seen these before so very nice find.
I don't know if any others exist online... I don't think they are in the game gallery for VF4Evo.

Very striking art indeed.

 

From what I read, these artworks likely came from the official site. The page was encrypted and you needed the "Virtua Fighter 4 Passport" GD-rom to browse it. The GD-Rom was included in the Japanese version of Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast.

Obviously the servers are broken now so I can only pray someone have still the pictures and upload them.

 

Finally, I could access the gallery. In fact, I needed the "VF History" GD-Rom, not the Passport.




I managed to extract all the artworks.
