Something i worked on while i was at home (while my immune system battled the evil, evil cold)

An older drawing that i spiffied up today.  I'll probably have more to post tomorrow since i'm not feeling any better and it's almost ten at night.  Anyway, hope you all are staying well and not following my example.

New sketches

Heres some work i've been....working on recently.

Let me know what you guys think!

a new page and an explaination:

So,  i'm sorry i haven't posted stuff in over a month.  I've gone back to work full time and the art has slowed down and sped back up in a cycle over the last few weeks and each time i go to post new things, i lacked the energy to post things but this week i had some free time and i was able to get some new stuff up.

So here you go:

Hopefully i'll be back to a regular schedule so i can get back on the wagon and finish this thing up before the end of the year.  I had originally set a goal to finish the first issue by june (as a new years resolution mind you) and i came no where near my goal.  Just goes to show you that your plans don't work out no matter how much you want them to.

have a good one!

Lucas

The story is finished!!!

Here's a preview of the comic book i've been writing.  I wrote just the right amount this time: enough to know where i'm going, not too much that i don't have wiggle room, and enough that i can continue when i get to the end.  

Anyway, here you go:

Oh, and if you don't understand what's going on, don't worry, it'll make sense when you read it (the real thing i mean).

Have a good one,

Lucas

A crazy machine!!!!

I used photoshop's paint brush tools to do the beginning line work.  Then used SBP to finish it.

Started out like this:

Have a good one!

Some short animations i made this morning.

They're not super great, but i hope you guys like them.

Some lighting attempts with SBP

I tried some lighting effects in Sketchbook pro and had an interesting outcome:

Anyway, have a good one!

Here's what i was working on this week....well, some of it anyway.....

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Anyways, have a good week,

Lucas

Some old photos get a new touch

I've been looking around in my photo library, picking and choosing rom my older photos,  and have been using Adobe Bridge to edit them.
I'll be adding more throughout the week.

Oh, and i've been working on my comic book all spring break and i almost have the whole thing written now.  I'll be posting some of the art here and eventually i'll post the whole thing as a digital book somewhere.

Have a good week,

Lucas.

Oh, and one more thing!

Here's something i made in a snap for a class on tuesday.  The dialogue is inspired by a vignette from Steinbeck's Cannery Row.

Anyway, have a good one,

Lucas

Here's some stuff from the first page of my comic book:

I'm still working on the last two panels.........aaaaaand the rest of the first issue......sooooo.....i'll keep you posted as i get more finished.  

Oh, also, 

now here's something we hope you'll really like:

So, yeah, have a good week.

Lucas

I got this in an email, thought it was pretty funny:

Entries in a dog's journal:

8:00 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!9:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE!
9:40 am - OH BOY! A WALK! MY FAVORITE!
10:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE!
11:30 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!
12:00 noon - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVORITE!
1:00 PM - OH BOY! THE YARD! MY FAVORITE!
1:30 PM - ooooooo. bath. bummer.
4:00 PM - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVORITE!
5:00 PM - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!
5:30 PM - OH BOY! MOM! MY FAVORITE!

Entries in a cat's journal:

DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed.
DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan.
DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time, however, it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.
DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of time......

Best night photos

Like i promised, here are the best night photos i took in the last few days.  They were all taken on a little sony quickshot type camera, so feel free to try this at home, it's pretty easy if you have the time.

Anyway, have a good one,

Lucas

Here's some stuff i did last week while in art history class.  It's nice to be able to digitally doodle while listening to "This building waaah wa wa wa waaaaah".  

Have a good one,

Lucas

Here's some cool shots we made in a photo class using a long exposure time in a dark room:

Painting with light is pretty fun. I am going to be making a hundred or so of them for next weeks assignment so i'll post the best ones here around monday. --Lucas

Yay, i have a blog.

Anyways, today i drew out some more ruffs for the comic book. I'm through ten pages now. Here's some sneak peeks at some of the characters (although i have since rewritten the comic page below):

So, yeah, i'll be posting some more pre-art for the book soon

May tomorrow always be better,

Lucas
