Right I'll just say thanks everyone for the words. Always a pleasure... been lazy of late.. ie for a few years really. Busy though.. have a 16 month little girl and not on the net so much as before.
Thanks for taking a look and stopping by!

..Alexanderjr.. Hope you and yours are ok mate.. its a hell of a thing to which from up here, its surreal to say the least, can't imagine the insanity in Christhurch.

Sevarenge introduced me to your work when I met him at school last year, sadly he's on a hiatus right now and won't be touching the pen for a long time.. I wish he sees these updates as you're his greatest inspiration.. it's always a pleasure Lukias, to see your pencils.. Keep on breathing life and vigor into us younglings. Thanks.

Hey there
This is the first time i've seen your sb and i'm really loving looking through it.
Your drawings have got so much movement in them and your facial expressions are great.
I think that your hands are feet definitely seem to be your weakest points. It might benefit you to some studies

I'll definitely be watching this space, keep it up!

Reallygreat pencils!

Wow Lukias, I know you've heard this a dozen times on every page of this thread, but your work is absolutely beautiful and inspiring.

I'm really interested in the way you do your sketches - they're unusual, but very moving. I haven't had time to look at every page yet, but if it hasn't been mentioned before, do you think that there's a possibility you could upload a video of you working on some sketches? I'd love to watch some of them come together.

Subscribed to your sketchbook.

Well first off let me say thank you for pushing me back towards traditional media. I really do love your work. I was looking through hundreds of your comments (and passed up hundreds) to try and find if anyone had asked you this yet but i didnt see it!
What kinda freaken pencils are you rockin? i see some really rich dark bold lines and very fine pencil marks as well. do you start with like a 4h then go to like a 6b? anywho beautiful work there. i really hope to see more soon. your last post was 5 months ago but ill keep waiting. Thanks for sharing!
