* A zoomed-in version is used in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters III: Tri-Holy God Advent]]'', released July 13, 2000. Here, the monster's outfit has a completely different color scheme than her other appearances: her tunic, hat, and vambraces are red-violet with a cyan trim and choker and dark blue cape.
** The international localized version of the game, ''Yu-G-Oh! Dark Duel Stories'' (released March 19, 2002), uses an edited version of this artwork, erasing the cleavage.
* Announcements for the ''Street Duel Legend of Power'' prize card used this artwork, depite despite the actual print using the manga one. This illustration used the same color scheme as the ''DM3''/''DDS'' artwork, although the trim and choker are changed to pale blue and the cape to purple. Also visible are her waist loop, which is pale blue as well, and her rod, which is dark blue with a pale blue trims.
** One of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters promotional cards|''Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters'' video game promotional cards]], released March 21, 2001, was printed with this artwork, edited to use the standard scheme, although her cheek stickers remain purple rather than pink. Additionally, the "[[Dark Magical Circle]]" in the background is shrunk so that it fits within the now-rectangular framing.
*** The official ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' English anime website, yugioh.com, displays an edited version of this artwork that replaces the hexagram-emblazoned blue jewel with a plain red jewel, erases the outline of her bust, extends her sleeves to cover more of her chest, and moves the strand of hair hanging over her right shoulder behind her arm. It is framed almost the same way as the ''Street Duel Legend of Power'' announcement artwork, including the "Dark Magical Circle" being re-enlargened to the same size. Despite yugioh.com usually displaying artworks used in the international dub of the anime, this artwork has never appeared in it, or anywhere else.

** The English version uses a zoomed out variation to show the entire body of "Dark Magician Girl", in contrast to the Japanese artwork which is framed above her legs, and the background replaced with a pair of blue angled grids.
* The version that was ultimately released in ''History Archive Collection'' was redrawn to be of visual quality consistent with contemporary cards, following the manga's lines more closely and with the zoom adjusted to include the entire body of "Dark Magician Girl". While the artwork still features "Dark Magical Circle" behind her, the background was changed from a green wall of hearts to a gradient of yellow-to-pink-to-purple decorated with stars or sparkles. Uniquely, this This specific variant of the artwork depicts is the first to depict jewels on the monster's dress as a mix of red and yellow ones, which is reflected by the artworks of consistent with how they have been colored on all ''TCG''/''OCG'' cards featuring "Dark Magician Girl" that have been released since 2019 ("[[Bond Between Teacher and Student]]", "[[Dark Magic Twin Burst]]", "[[Magicians' Combination]]", and "[[Magician's Salvation]]").

==Duel 174 pose==This artwork is based on the pose "Dark Magician Girl" was drawn in when Summoned in {{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|174|ref}}, released May 22, 2000. It was first printed in the ''OCG'' in ''[[Limited Edition 5]]'', released April 8, 2003. This pose may have been inspired by the [[:File:DarkMagician-TF05-JP-VG-artwork.png|first ''OCG'' artwork]] of "[[Dark Magician]]", which uses a similar one. Both artworks depict the magicians floating in front of a "Dark Magical Circle" while holding their hat with their left hand and wand with their right hand, their legs bent with their knees forward.
In this artwork, the monster's choker is pink, the waist loop is yellow, and she appears to wear a blue fingerless glove on her left hand. In addition, her eyes are blue instead of green, and the jewels are yellow rather than red. This version of the outfit of "Dark Magician Girl" is reflected by all ''TCG''/''OCG'' cards released until 2016 with the exception of "Magicians' Defense" (in "[[Dark Burning Attack]]" and "[[Dark Burning Magic]]" the single glove is removed; in "[[Dark Magic Expanded]]", "[[Dark Magic Inheritance]]", and "[[Magician Navigation]]" the glove is replaced with flaps on both hands, and the latter also changes back the eye color back to green.)

In this artwork, the monster's costume's trim, cape, skirt, choker, and waist loop are all changed to lavender, her eyes are blue, the jewels are red, and the vambraces are changed to fingerless gloves. Additionally, the spiral on her hat is on the right side instead of the left side. Notably, this was the first artwork to natively feature the pentagram, rather than having it replace the hexagram.
