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 :)

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 :)


<EDIT> 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

I have no idea, but you might try http://images.google.com with searches like "everquest druid bear character art".

I’ve done quite a bit of Google searching and can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. Perhaps the site went poof long ago and none of the images were archived anywhere.

Basically I’m looking for someone to do a character art commission and I really liked that style. Anyone know a good artist that does excellent fantasy character art?

This one always resonated with me back in the day.

Wow bringing me back! Some of the class art I was thinking about is still there which is great.

Couldn't find the skater gnome stories =\

Maybe pouring over the website on my desktop would be better though

Remember the artist who would take in game screenshots and then amp up the magical effects, lighting, shadows etc to make the image look amazing? What was the person's site/name?
