Epilogue.net was an online art community and gallery with a focus on fantasy and sci-fi art. It also accepted "anime-themed" art[1] and later expanded to include other genres.
It was a juried art gallery with strict acceptance criteria.[2][3]
The site officially prohibited fanart as "copyright infringement"[4][5] but featured a separate Lord of the Rings gallery starting in 2001,[1] and art for other fantasy fandoms was on the site up to its closure. (For example, Jenny Dolfen's Epilogue gallery included LOTR, Harry Potter, and A Song of Ice and Fire characters.[6])
Epilogue was represented at Dragon*Con in 2003, where they offered a fantasy CD-ROM for purchase.[7]
The site was officially closed in 2020. One user noted in 2015 that already "Epilogue [had] been in the process of dying for years."[8]
Fan Comments
Nassima described her Epilogue gallery as featuring:
Original fantasy and book illustrations including the Harry Potter books, only the best -the more profesionnal?- I could do, according to the verynitpickydemanding mods there... All of the pieces there were originally uploaded in this LJ, but some had to undergo digital changes to make perspective, anatomy or lighting more correct.[9]
