Old Everquest Character Art Site

    Does anyone remember a character art site from way back, probably in the 2001 - 2005 era? I think it was one artist that did character art commissions. The style was sort of cartoony, but very well polished, almost like a digital painting.

    I know I'm not giving much info here! What I remember is vague... wish I could remember the site name and/or artist name, but alas, I have to ask here.

    One specific example I can remember is a female Druid with her bear pet and epic (with a forest background?). Again, not much info to go on, but maybe it'll stir someone's memory

    If I had to give an example of the style, this would be pretty close:

    But they looked more refined... more like something done in Photoshop rather than a sketch. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please let me know. I'm interested to find out if those images are still available somewhere, or even better, to contact the artist!

    Thanks!

    No, it wasn’t a comic. It was simply character art. I guess people would send the artist screenshots and whatever specific request and he/she would do a digital drawing of their character.

    It doesn't sound like it was EQ Pixel Army if you are looking for "more refined", but maybe look through their artists page to see if any of them seem familiar, as many of them had their own sites:

    My recollection is that once upon a time there was a folder in the EQ Forums (like these, but older) for artists to describe their art, post examples, link to their compensation schedules. For a while there were links to the archived forums, now even that is gone. The closest thing here now is the Players Studio folder, but even that is being phased out. :( .

    Are you talking about the tradeskill forum where we (player studio artists) used to post links to images of our items, and ongoing projects?

    If you wanted to see images of my items I could scrounge those up.

    "Players Studio folder", do you mean the file folder inside the game folder? \everquest\playerstudio? That is just a folder for the PlayerStudio.exe (PSView) program that was a tool for PS artists. Maybe you meant the Player Studio FORUM (https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php which is completely dead)?

    Could you elaborate?

    Also Player Studio is not being phased out, it has been closed permanently.

    **edit**
    Maybe you mean art pieces that were associated with Landmark and Next? Where they were collaborating with players to work on art styles of different races?

    I remember; there were a couple artists that did these types of commissions, some were very cartoony and another very fantasy-ish (I don't know how else to word that). I've searched for her a few times through the years, but I can't remember her name or find her artwork right now.

    I don't think you're talking about the player studio stuff - these were artists from well before the PS. I always wanted to have one done, but never did.

    The forum was called The Artist's Studio and Media Gallery for "fan art and discussion of player created media."

    Did some searching and came across a few... perhaps one of these names:
