SOE teases new EverQuest Next art
SOE is drumming up a little social media publicity for EverQuest Next. The forthcoming fantasy MMO, scheduled to be formally unveiled at next month's SOE Live convention in Las Vegas, is the subject of a new concept art painting that's being revealed as part of a teaser promotion. SOE is parceling out additional characters in Gabor Sziksai's artwork as fans join the firm's social networking spaces. If the painting looks familiar, that's because Sziksai has reimagined original EverQuest artist Keith Parkinson's seminal concept art, which is also viewable on the official EQN website.

Upper Deck interviews TCG artists Zoltan and Gabor
Upper Deck continues their series on the art of the game by talking to two artists who've done some terrific work for the TCG, Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszai. The two partners talk about how they make some of the art of the card game (with a Wacom Cintiq-- drool), and specifically how they made a couple of multi-card pieces. For the most recent raid deck, they had to make a mural of Magtheridon and his channelers that went across five cards, and that the challenge wasn't just creating an interesting piece of art overall, but also making each card interesting enough to stand on its own.Very cool interview, and definitely neat to see what these two guys are like, working on the forefront of digital painting.
