Concept art to sketches, 3D models to promotional material, and everything in between. Feel free to add as you see fit.

There's the dedicated fan art page at http://www.arokhslair.net/wp/order-of-t ... -desktops/ - I have those images but were not allowed to post them back then due to copyright issues. The top two were part of a submission by a 3rd party artist (forgot who, sorry) for the promo material back in 1998 when Psygnosis were getting ready to advertise the game. The company who made these were not chosen for the final promo art however GlyphX (3rd image) made some of the early "official" promo material. Surreal ended up using their own staff to create the promo material that was released publicly.

Thanks for the information. The 3rd image must be a favorite of yours considering it's used as an emoji on Discord. It's freaking cool! I will post the remaining favorites of my own that are not listed on the linked home page posting. Considering there's a limit of five, I will need to post multiple times. However, I will certainly keep these to a minimal as stated in the title to be uncommon. Relatively speaking of course :wink:

I didn't know the Russian version had it's own cover art. That last image I think isn't a real one, that's a Dragonlance fan art image with the Psygnosis logo etc added.

The Russian version of Drakan certainly has an interesting subtitle:

Code: Select all

Drakan: Flame of Truth
BTW, I can confirm that the Russian cover is in fact real - look in the 2nd column from the left, 3rd row from the bottom.
However, that is a "bootleg" release; there was no "official" Russian version of Drakan.

I believe she was a relative of one of the staff who worked at Psygnosis but I could be wrong. She never became a professional modeller so that's why there is no information on her. The Surreal staff wouldn't know as the publisher (Psygnosis / Sony) did all of the marketing and promoting of the game.

Pardon me for adding a reply to such an old, old thread, but I figured the "Uncommon Stuff" thread would be the best place to ask - I've been going on a bit of an archiving spree lately, digging through old files and such, particularly the archived pages of Planet Drakan where I noticed the 15-or-so screenshots for Drakan Online: Traveler's Quest were never properly archived. I was wondering if anyone here might happen to have any screenshots of TQ saved from all that time ago?

Searching for the filenames, I found an FTP page that seems to have them at http://drakan.ru/FTProot/Pics/DOTQ_EDO/... but not only does it seem to be offline, it's reported to potentially house malware as well...

I have a lot of sentimentality for things like Drakan, and I'd like to set up a little shrine to it on my own website some time. Having all this stuff on hand would be fantastic for the preservation of this little chunk of videogame history. If anyone has these screenshots (and ideally won't give me a trojan for trying to download them) I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi, first of all Drakan.ru has been compromised / hacked and as you have discovered is full of malware. Unfortunately that server had the largest collection of drakan related content such as screenshots etc. But it's best not to visit the site at all due to the malware on it.

There are only three screenshots of Drakan Online: TQ I know of which I have somewhere on an old backup. I will have a look and get back to you.
