Keith Parkinson drew that, he was the original artist for EQ up to Shadows of Luclin iirc. The iconic artwork that established the franchise was his. Considering he came from a legit D&D artwork background alongside the greats.

Keith helped shape the Everquest we know. He died in the mid 2000's of cancer.

Those sketches are amazing, that was the concept for the box art? Do you have links to more concept stuff from Keith?
Here is the direct link to the sketches section of his website.

You can find some other Everquest style dragons on the covers of some old fantasy books he did work for, example:
