As do we... only one of the Eyrie staffers that I can think of has any recognizable artistic ability (R-Type), and he doesn't have any discernible free time. Truss is a whiz with graphic design but has no freehand drawing ability, so he can do logos until the cows come home but no character material. I can't even do that, though I can think up nice graphics sometimes and communicate them to Truss decently enough that he can render them for me. He and I have occasionally joked wistfully about hitting the lottery and setting Phil Moyer up as the official EPU staff artist, like European aristocrats used to do with their favorite painters and composers. :)

Animation approaches impossibility for many reasons, not least of which is that it essentially involves twenty-four pieces of very-carefully-painted fanart per second. :)
