Okay, I saw these pictures on DVDs of a release in French. Has anyone ever seen the actual image(s) of these? I'd kill for 'em. :\

I don't like how they drew Hikaru and Umi too much, but WOW that's an amazing picture of Fuu. ;^;
It looks like it's based on the setup from the third ending, "Itsuka Kagayaku", where each of the girls has a panel. I think the dark Umi one is on the bottom, with Fuu on the top right and Hikaru on the left. *squints* Or not.
I would REALLY like to have a copy of that image, but I've never seen it before! :O
The page I found them on is here: http://www.idpvideo.com/produit.php?idsri=157
Sorry to tell you Suzu, but that is the first time I have seen these images. I would love to find them. I do agree with you that the Fuu is the best of the group. I will keep my eyes open, but I cannot promise much.
*totally guesses* They seem to be from a DVD set from another country...it says "Saison," but that is not one of the languages I have knowledge of...German perhaps?
It's French. At least, I'm almost 100% positive it's French, since I don't actually speak/read the language.
If I knew some French MKR fans, I could force them to scan the DVDs for me or something. XD Their boxed sets are much prettier than ours, IMHO.
I will go to my resident French expert and ask her...they are so much more attractive than our box sets though...
I have to admit Fuu does look the prettiest in those pics. If any of you find them, please tell me too! I'll keep my eyes open as well. :D

Okay suzu, I may have a lead that might help you. The original artwork for these comes from the Japanese LD release. (credit Cephiro (http://cephiro.anime.net/tv/order-import.html) with that one. ^_^)
Wow, mystery finally solved.
Whoa, I just found huge scans of the Hikaru and Umi ones on Minitokyo.net! Holy cow. I PM'd the person who scanned them to ask if he'd scan Fuu, as well. Couldn't hurt. Man, that figures. Fuu's the one I really wanted. Yayironylaughsatme.
Hey, suzu, could you link them? or at least give us the name of the person who scanned them. <3
Oh, duh. ._.;

The Umi one: http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/86769/
You need to register at the site to full-view, because they're apparently communists.
Now it's really frustrating that the Fuu one isn't there... because it's just barely out of reach. x_x;
It's okay, beacause, when Milieva gets her hands on copies of the LD's she'll scan them and let you see them without registering.
But thanks for the link, suzu.
I PM'd the guy who scanned them and he said he didn't scan Fuu because his source wasn't as high-quality but he'd see what he could do. He hasn't done so yet, but if he gets around to it, I'll be sure to post it. I can post the Hikaru and Umi ones when I get around to uploading them; they're HUGE.
He got me the Fuu scan! It's not very good quality, but with some image editing it could be a gorgeous graphic.
Here they are, as promised. They're all 1000px wide.

I thought the art on the Umi one was kinda ugly. :P
It's sad...the concept is pretty, but it looks like someone stuck a porcupine on her head...

It seems Umi gets screwed over a
lot in quite a few anime drawings. =_=;
Yeah, Umi does get kind of messed up in anime images... but she looks great in the manga! All the knights do -_^...
