Tags are your friend? Well, Eiwa is Anne's original designer, so he's giving her some exposure here probably because she'll be featured in an ova soon.

Couldn't agree more.
Breaks my heart knowing there's a whole world (so to speak) of amazing QB illustrations out there that will most likely never reach our internet-browsing eyes. That said, my utmost gratitude to anyone who uploads these beautiful works. Seriously, may good fortune forever smile on you fine gentlemen.

Um, I actually think most Queen's Blade artwork, especially the best ones, get uploaded eventually to imageboards. This image actually came from the latest QB artbook "Vanquished Queens" released less than a week ago. I'm certain that more will come.
Losenucius, Thanks for the link. Must have DAT TOMOE. Not only I love Eiwa's art, the girls he created are among my favorites as well.
I see what you mean about the artbooks eventually appearing and I admit I'm very greedy in these regards (on my defense, it's practically the only thing "official" that I want in digital form). I don't know what these have in specific so maybe I'm wanting things that are ultimately pointless, but there's the anime mooks - http://queensblade.net/index.php/goods/books/mooks And these (I assume posters): http://queensblade.net/staffblog/?p=1052 http://queensblade.net/staffblog/?p=929 I admit Eiwa art invariably gets a instant 'WANT!' from me.
The image of Siggy in the second to-last link you provided is actually an art/info book released in 2010 that details the "making of" QB Rebellion designs, as well as b/w sketches of Siggy and other characters. It also, of course, has some Eiwa artwork in it. Unfortunately, I haven't encountered any scanned artwork from that book at all. It may be rare. :/
DEM SIGGIES! Her stupid name aside, Siggy is my favorite Rebellion character and even though Eiwa is hands down my favorite QB artist, objectively speaking, I'd say Oda-Non is the most skilled artist yet to have created a QB girl but he loses points for not putting out even half the greatness Eiwa does. Not mentioning Jun Tsukasa because he only draws characters from other artists, but I'd likely favor him over Eiwa (case in point being post #272401 that is easily one of my favorite QB illustrations ever).
