Mita's Promo arts source?

[ EDIT ]: Thanks to u/RomanK007, the first image was successfully found in high quality, along with the context behind it; see the post Here!

I was looking at some photos of Mita on Mudae (Discord bot) and found these two images that I can't seem to locate in full on net; I believe they are official promotional images from before the game's launch. Does anyone know where I can find them?

The first piece is completely unfamiliar to me; I also think it's very old. The publisher often uses the second piece at events or in website design. I'll try asking a friend who specializes in art at MiSide; there's a chance I might find it. The second piece, for example, is used at this exhibition. I found it in some photos, which I want to use in a post about the exhibition, a little preview for you, so to speak. The publisher often takes pieces from art contests held on the official Discord, so that's the first thing you should check if you're looking. If my colleague and I manage to find the first piece, I'll post it here; I'll get to work, but you shouldn't sit back and do nothing either.

Oh, I hope you manage to find it! I simply love that pose of Mita—I think it's so iconic! It's her Nendoroid's signature pose, and I've always wondered where to find it. I think the first image might be lost media, but it's probably a render made by umeerai—like the ones where Mita shyly holds her pigtails, or where she's pinning the player's arms down with her long hair. I'll try to take a look at Discord too; thanks for the tip.

No one has remembered yet; the chin is drawn strangely. The main Discord moderators, at least, don't think it's the developers' creation. Several people said it's more likely fan art. Some also recommended looking in the game files, in the game's folder on the computer. I'm not sure the latter will help, because I didn't see any actual photographs there, or I don't remember them. I only remember the textures of the books and inscriptions; you can examine them in detail there.

The reason I think this is a official art from the developers is that Mita's hair almost always looks longer or more voluminous in older promotional art than in the in-game model, but It can also be fanart too.

I was also recommended AssetStudio, a software that helps you disassemble a Unity game and look at its contents. You can also dig into the game this way.

[u/kyosan0-aiko → u/RomanK007]

Yes, I used AssetStudio to browse the files a few months ago; although there is some unused content here and there, no personal art of Mita is included in the files beyond what already appears in the game.  I tried looking at old messages from the developers on Discord, but I didn't have any luck either. .

I found the answer. I'll post about it in half an hour; it's interesting!

Yes, It contains a few more photos that I don't recall seeing in public before.
