Title: How many of you were on EQFanart.com back in the day??
Post by: catmahathy on August 07, 2011, 12:54:58 PM
I know I was and I still have a lot of the artwork I drew for it on my artwanted.com page. I think I'll repost some....

I participated more when it was still a yahoo group, then refound it towards the end, about a half-year before it fell apart.  Wouldn't say I was one of the "old crowd", but I definitely lurked and loved the place. :)

Where you "catmahathy" there as well?

catwalk! :D Yes, I remember you...been hoping you'd find your way here eventually. Your Dewshine is one of my favorite pieces of fan art.

I was somewhat active, but I was like.. 13 back then xD I was Wildfire then as well.

Ooooh, Catwalk! Please repost your art yes, I remember really enjoying your pieces :3

Catwalk!

*fangirlish squeak*

I remember your beautiful pencil portraits! (tried my hand on coloring your portrait of Moonshade once, too)  
I'll join the chorus; please do repost your pictures!

(Edit: to answer your question; Yes, I was at the old EQfanart site, but mostly as a lurker. Started posting my stuff just some months before it closed.)

How far back was "back in the day"?  I was definitely putting some stuff up on the previous version of EQFA (previous to this one), as "sgaana" I think, but I imagine it wasn't until 2007 or 2008 or so.

I was wondering what "back in the day" meant as well *lol*  I probably was and I believe the same name.  My "Silly Snow Fun" was back from 2004 and I had posted that.  I have so much art from many years ago. 

I would love to see more pieces posted here from everyone!

Catwalk, yay! You drew my Pinvis for me once. :D So glad you found this place again.

Eh, I guess that answers that I was at the old site as well. But I've also already been active at Yahoo groups. It's where I first drew Picknose for the beefcake contest. So I'm gonna use that in the "Unforgotten past" challenge here once we're allowed to post our calendar pictures. ;D

I was on that site but only shortly before it shut down. I don't think I posted anything there that I didn't post here. And I was also registered as Treefox.
Oooh, beefcake Picknose! Am truly looking forward to that.

Afke, I'm like 90% sure I still have that drawing of Pinvis around here somewhere. Wasn't she the one who had a chark on the front of her shirt and the flipped out hair and I drew her sitting on a tree branch? I need to find all of those... I'll repost everything I can find today, but you can go to artwanted.com/cathrin til then. I remember most of you guys! Mirror, I have a colored copy of that pic of Moonshade on there. Not sure if you did that one or if it was dartfan. He loved to color my drawings ^_^

So I've loaded as many as I can for today but I'll get back on and load more tomorrow.  ;D

I lurked and posted a few sketches but I never got into it a 100% - good this site popped up so I could remedy  ;D

I was there, under the name kaze-kun. ^_^ I'm glad it's been reborn here, and that some of y'all are still around. I'm such a lurker anymore. XD

I was hyper active back then as well! It was a shame the old EQfanart stopped working, and I'm still not sure what happened... I'm just so happy there is this new EQfanart...

Yeah, noone ever found out what happened to Amanda did they? :/

Yay Kaze-kun! It's so nice that some of the old members found their way back :D

Hmmm, I must admit, that I don't even remember Amanda or her art, bad me.
I actually wonder what happened to Icemoon... I miss her cheerfulness and, of coure, her pencil color art...

Amanda O'Dell ran the previous EQFanart. She disappeared suddenly and noone really knew what became of her :/
Her Elfwood profile: http://eqfanart.elfwood.com/profile.html (http://eqfanart.elfwood.com/profile.html)  She mostly drew Strongbow and Moonshade pictures but many of them aren't on her Elfwood.

And yes, Icemoon seems to have disappeared as well. I used to be friends with her on Facebook and she still draws and paints (at least she did a few months ago, she must've deleted me), I think she just lost interest in Elfquest. She might be back though ;)

Post by: Treefox on September 13, 2011, 06:18:54 AM
Oh yes! Now that you mention it! Thanks for the information.
It's good to know that Icemoon is still somewhere continuing to draw. Losing interest in something is part of life and growing, I guess.
At least for some things in our lives.

Icemoon has a gallery on DA (I believe her username is Shymind ), but I don't think she's active there any longer. Too bad, I miss her artwork. She was such a sweet person to have around on the site, and her artwork showed incredible progress in a very short time.

She'll be back as a professional artist and have us all green with envy  ;)

I'm getting curious what's the average age of members here, by the way. This thread makes me realize that some of us have been around quite a long time - even though I still consider myself somewhat of a newbie, seeing that I joined the old EQfanart just before it closed.

I had Amanda over at Livejournal for a while. Although she hasn't updated in quite a while, after EQfa dying out it seemed she got more into manga judging to her posts. So loss of interest as well I guess.

Yeah, Icemoon disappeared really abruptly.  (She was a member at RTH, and was active, and then after the winter holidays became uncontact-able.)  A pity.  Even if she lost interest, it would've been nice to have a "farewell" message of some sort from her.  Ah well.

Hmm, I've been wondering about that myself. I tried making a topic, but I can't seem to make polls. That might be an admin-only feature.
Perhaps Foxeye or Kael will indulge us and create a poll?

It probably was, but it does not need to be. :) We just never changed the default setting.  Give me 5-10 minutes and try again.

Edit: Hmmm, it says you do already have permission.  The option for "Post a new Poll" isn't at the top right of the board index, next to "New Topic"?

I never noticed that button, I looked for the option to add polls inside the "New Topic" post xD Sorry.

Glad to tell you that Icemoon is well!

I finally managed to get a short contact a few days ago :) She neither lost interest in EQ nor was it really her idea to "break contact". I'll tell her that her friends here and at RTH are worried and miss her and will ask whether I can share what she told me - whenever I will reach her again.

Thank you noone! It's good to know that she is well.
She always cheered me up with her bright pictures and bright personality.

I too was part of the old EQFanart. I think I wasn't really active back then, either... or rather, I was a lurker like now. :D I've posted all the old doodles here too.
