EverQuest II is blessed with an incredibly talented art team! Dave "Covic" Brown works on character models, people, mounts, etc. He has recently worked on the character models for the new Prowler mounts. Dave is super talented and we're very lucky to have him on the team!

Do you have any special (or just super fun) projects you're working on now for EQII?

The project I will be working on after I finish my current model is going to be awesome. Its going to give players something they have never had in our game yet, I can’t wait to get started. Also it’s going to need a lot of QA time to get this right. So I want to get it done as soon as possible so we will have over half a year to work out the bugs.

--------

Tease!!  It's so wrong to mess with our heads like this.

.. *racks brain* .. What are we missing?  What do players in other games have that we never had .. hrm .. Cleavage?  and/or the male version?  I'd be fine if you wanted to add more of either.  Hrm .. Skirts that come in different lengths and no splits?  Flying mounts? Fluffy Bunny Mounts?   grrr .. I need more of a hint!

I bet it'll be awesome... and I sat here and tried, but I can't find a way to connect it to books, so you win this round, obscure tease!  d:

Mannn.  I <3 the artwork for the LoN paintings.  I wanna have those kinda skills!  I'm jealous!

Anashti Sul scares me though... in a good way, I guess... though MAN!!  I want those sandals!  gah!

I'm so glad you decided to listen to your artistic side and go back to school!  You've contributed so many awesome things.  My guildie absolutely LOVES her icemare...  it's so much fun watching her prance around upon it.  Thanks for that, and everythin' else!

In fact it's like Steve Perry and Journey showing up in your living room for a personal performance of Any Way you want it with Rodney Dangerfield thrown in.

The first thing that popped into my mind when I read that was flying mounts that can only be used in new zones.

I could be wrong - but I'm fairly certain that each time someone does something pretty great - the expectation is for them to surpass that next time.   so . . . yeah! SMILEY

Thank you

I really liked the article, especially the picture of Anashti Sul.  But my inner lore nerd is crying at the fact that the link for the picture is http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...anasthi_sul.jpg

Guys, spell her name right or she won't bless you with undeath when you die -.-

Can we have some roundshields please? Not Station Cash (please!) but actual ones that are worth using and look good (ie not Tier 1)?

If you dont do those can you memo whoever does do them? *Big puppy eyes*

Good because I know we all ready have some.  I have an apprentice working on wieldables right now.  His stuff is awesome.  We are really trying to have every drop you get from the next expantion be new geo.  There will be retextures of the new geo, but little to no use of old geo if we can help it.  He has allready made items for 1h swords, 2h swords, 1h crush, 2h crush, pike, spear, shields (bucklers and round), and daggers.  He still has to do some bows, and I think he has done some staffs allready.

You're work is fantastic.  I love robes and I have to say, coming from a necromancer, the Varsoon and Battlegrounds robes are top notch evil!  I have and love both of them.  Anashti Sul is really cool (although the alive version is more pleasing to the eye SMILEY ) but I have always thought the dead Peacock on her helm was a nice touch.  And you made the Rime horse... I mean an ice unicorn?  Really?  That right there earns my eternal respect!  Looking forward to your future projects and keep up the awsome work!

I have my guesses who this mysterious new female could be and I hope at the end of the Druid Rings event we will finally get to see Tunare's Chosen
