Does anyone know where to find information on who the character artists are? I feel as if character designs fall into two categories: realistic and cartoon. I’m interested in seeing more of the artists’ work.

    I think he means the art for the character designs in the actual game, not "Who drew the cover art"?

    Not sure about artist information. You might find something if you dig on the MPQ Facebook page.

    I remember they changed artists at one point, back around the release of 4* Blade or maybe even a character or two earlier, which would explain some of the difference in styles.

    If you look at the credits (gear icon in the top left of the main screen, scroll to the bottom and click "credits"), there is a list of the people on the art team (both current and alumni).  I don't think there is any way to link particular characters to their artist in the general case though.

    You can get a hint for some of the characters with MPQ specific non-comic covers though.  For example, Reiko Murakami is listed as the artist for Vulture and Mordo.

    A long time ago they put up a video where Jae Tsai, who has since left, did the art for Jane Thor. And before he left I think they said that Peggy was the last character that he did, so at least we can confirm that Jane and Peggy were done by him. I don't think there are any way to link any of the other character arts to particular artists, apart from just trying to figure it out from art styles and release dates of the characters.
