Concept Art
Concept art for EB64 by Benimaru Itoh and Toshinao Aoki. Most of this art was featured on Nintendo's website in 1997 but only a few were archived with the rest being found at low quality in the October 1997 64DREAM.

Most of these are drawn by Mr. Itoh but ones like the Kraken, Rolly, and Flying Mouse were drawn by Mr. Aoki. Mr. Itoh said on Nintendo.com that many of the drawings were used to pitch ideas to Shigesato Itoi so they may not be representitive of ideas that made it in the game.
