Update- 8th Sep *Links fixed*

[Chris Noeth]

LUKIAS: Can you write how long you sit on those pencil sketches by your next postings please? Or maybe refering to some of your others in the thread.

It would be nice to see how long it takes you and compare this to the own sketches... :)

Thanks,

Chris

[Lukias]

oops I was sure I had replied to this ages ago.

Honestly, cheers guys:)

Foster- what i would pay allot of money for would be a book of your drawings. see how many people here would pay $40-$50 for a book of your work and self publish. for those of you that think that is high price, it's not for a limited addition and just think you could cuddle up with it at night

Ya think?? Super duper nifty you think so mate, would feel a little strange putting the question out there mind you... I think I'll PM you.. now you've put yourself at the receiving end of my questioning. Oo arr.
(The words 'Limited edition' make me shudder like a priest in a room full of alter boys)

Chris Noeth- hmm.. well it varies man.. plus now more than before I'm sporadic.. I leave some and go back to them say, a day, a week, a month later. Really random now. Lets say 4 hours a page give or take, alot.
Cheers

[Kress]

That last page of stuff is really, really hitting hard dude. I'm pumped, have to go draw. Dare I say you're improving before our eyes?
Nothing else to say, lots of feeling in that last batch, very inspiring.

[Main Loop]

your imaginative costumes and your creatures are your best assets.. i didnt get to see every page, so forgive me if this was answered: how old are you? are u another prodigy like lung bug?

[Bishop Six]

/me jumps on the praise bandwagon

You have an amazingly creative imagination. Your costume/clothing designs are just top-notch. Everytime I see your stuff I am inspired and envious. And do I even need to mention your technical ability? No. I don't.

The fact that you don't have a website is a crime. You, sir, should be arrested.

[Muttonhead]

Man O man. This is truly some amazing stuff. Very inspiring and impressive, you have inspired me to work even harder.....

[troymcoy]

A book of your sketchings would be brilliant

[Miau]

:eek:

[dakoscwash]

I am weeping... How do you draw the human figure so beautifully from imagination...?:(

I hope someday, somehow, I'll have skills like yours, truly amazing.

[TheUbermind]

i am sorry to inform you that i must kill you now because your work make smine look bad:D KIDDIN! maybe....


sleep with one eye open:chug: sheers all

[Summer Pudding]

Your work is astounding, especially your creature designs. Why your status hasn't been elevated to 'Professional' is a mystery to me.

[van]

Where did Lukias go?!

[Form]

the 'professional' tag isnt a status. You dont get it just for having good artworks. You need to be professionally employed and meet various other criterion. Im not sure if lukias is officially employed but if not, that would explain it.

And i think hes awol cos hes from new zealand van, its the only explanation!

[Lukias]

Been ages eh... thanks for the replies btw people:)

Drawing wise I've been slacking quite a bit.. all of this is old, a fair amount from last year even(and it shows badly(to me)). Last year while traveling I had alot of free time and sketched every day.. now back at home I sometimes been breaking out the pencils like once a week!. This is partly because I've decided to pursue a career as a portrait painter. Once established theres good money to be made and if all goes to plan then I'll still have time to draw this type of carnage at me leisure/pleasure.

lukias has a homepage. for those who havent seen yet:


http://www.lukehollis.com




quite amazing. :)

[the good war]

super awesome music on the site quite a complete experience... the only thing i disliked was the photoshop texture on some of the drawings because it obscured the drawings
other than that excellent!

[Frank the Ninja]

Amazing...

Looking at your lines and concepts make it clear to me that I have such a very long distance to go...

I hope you are making a lot of money.
