I was wondering whether the spectacular images accompanying the article were in-game graphics or just artists' depictions.

  Those images look like in game graphics. The game really is beautiful, and spreadsheets in space is mostly a joke these days, but there are in game professions that may include actual spreadsheets. That said, its likely someone spent some time getting the right angle to take that screenshot.

  Those are actual EVE Online graphics, zoomed out in game.

  The game is shockingly good looking these days. Normally there's not that much going on in one place, and instead it's wide, desolate space (which has it's own beauty). But there are a great many special touches, from the mild red/blue shift in warp to the unbelievable overkill on the character creation, the game looks like it has had years of tweaks and refinements added.

  Those are indeed in-game graphics, but they don't animate well during large battles, and controls become unresponsive. It's a bit better since they added time dilation, but it's still frustrating to be in a huge fight. Usually the beautiful graphics come from one guy set up at the edge just to film; people trying to actually fight turn off the eye candy.
