Weedy Sketchbook

**Summer Pudding** · October 21st, 2005, 08:10 AM

The hitman I hired to take you out says he's too distracted by your sketching to shoot. He's the guy watching you from the building over the road. They'd better be good, or I'm hiring one with no taste.

Lukavi, Can't believe I never commented here before. Your imagination just amazes me with every new piece. I come and look at your sketchbook every once in a while for an inspiration fix.

**Icey** · October 21st, 2005, 01:30 PM

u're crazy!

**strych9ine** · October 26th, 2005, 10:31 AM

Johann, dude, I think it's about time for an update. Your match with Dougbot was my personal favorite of the last round, you brought an excellent piece to the table.

good charicres man!!! its lookin real good

**GriNGo** · October 29th, 2005, 07:16 PM

damn, another CA.org dude that kicks my ass

lol you rock man, and keep up the good work! & I dare say that you need to work on the facial anatomy of your characters. Arianne's left eye is too far from the nose I think, or her right eye is to close to the nose. But overall, i think you should work on the facial proportions a bit

later,

Your artwork is very beautiful. Your line work and some of your color schemes bring James Jean to mind, another great line artist. I am struggling to find a way to color my own work, but your work restores my hope and truly inspires me. I enjoyed your Ch.O.W. entry, got my vote.

**Diego** · November 1st, 2005, 12:07 AM

kick-ass SB lukavi, absolutly stunning work in here.
Love the colors and mood in your pictures.
Cheers

**Johann de Venecia** · November 1st, 2005, 08:20 PM

Damn people, thanks for all the responses. Truly touched. It makes me even more guilty because of the lack of updates. The weedy sketchbook lives up to its name

. Get me a bush trimmer stat!

------------------------------------------------

Diego, Dano: Thanks, guys, really appreciate that.
Gringoloco: Yeah I see what you mean and now that you mention it, I see it even more. I will definitely look into this problem more. Thanks for pointing that out, man.
Icey: you too!
Worthless, Lietje: Thanks

Strych: Wow, flattered, almost didn’t send the entry because I thought it might fall short of your expectations, haha. Glad to know that’s not the case. Goodluck in the coming round, Cody!
Crazy3dman: Likewise, dude. Yours inspire me as well.
Summer Pudding: OMG is that the same hitman whose been watching me while I undressed? I felt violated. Just a little, then I was over it. Actually…kinda…enjoyed it.
Shyamshriram: Right back at you, sir.
Cthogua: Haha, you saw the little pic. Didn’t mean it to be a cthulhu though. Actually never read the novel but I have under my bed a book of American gothic shorties, and Lovecraft work is in there. Soon I'll read it.
Fatmillenium: Thanks!
BAKI: I'm right here!!! How've you been?
Princeofhappiness, ender: Woot! You both get a cookie. From Christmas of last year.
Clogic: eww stained boxers. Mmm send me a pic?
Codakromek: Hey coda, I don’t mind at all, I’m flattered. It’s blasphemy to compare mortal men to gods. Please fear the lightning bolt, at least for my sake.
Badgah: Hey wanted to let you know that my CHOW entry was inspired by you. Well…your pink stockings. Except I dyed it red.
GunTrouver:

Ty dude
Britta: Damage was done unto me! Wahaha. I knew I should have hired some goons to dispose of that dougbot. Talented bastard. Thanks for dropping by britta, keep on doing inspiring stuff. You and your SB buddies.
Craig: Thanks for dropping by man. I agree with you very much. I think it’s the Capricorn in me that makes me get stuck and be wary of change. That or I’m afraid to go into unfamiliar territory. But you guys inspire me and I’ll strive to try out new stuff when I can. Can’t promise I’ll scan it in if it becomes a failed experiment. lol.
CSteingart: Hey buddy, I’m looking to the great stuff I’ll see from you in the future.
Bumskee: Bumskee! I adore your Chow corsair! Give me your powers. Gimme Gimme Gimme!
Inkfish: Thanks Ink, hope you’ve been well.
Vigosuperstar: I’m not your personal Zoloft, Paxil or whatever anti-depressant. I am a living, breathing human being. Please, I at least expect some kind of financial compensation. I only accept cash. Sheesh…

. Btw, Damn glad to see your work in chow, vigo.

------------------------------------------------

Here are some of my recent stuff. First one was my TD entry. Next few are my ‘lil Halloween set. Next, just various doodles, and the last is my first CHOW entry. Some of you guys who haven’t joined yet, check it out! Its as fun as COW and all the other weeklies.

**vigostar** · November 2nd, 2005, 09:59 AM

Ha!!!! Shit man..!! that CHOW entry rocked my socks off dude.. Posh had it in the bag for me until.... Lukavi swooped down from the sky to steal the spotlight!! Needless to say you got my vote... probably one of my favorite top three characters from you... and you said your werent going to have time.. HA, double ha!!!, Triple HAAAAAA@!
BTW- that top scene with that woman standing in front of that giant Tremors looking crature is SCREEAMING for colors... please put it out of its misery!!!

**strych9ine** · November 2nd, 2005, 10:49 AM

...and now I'm happy again. Great CHOW entry bro, the costume design is phenomenal. Pure Lukavi at it's best...

**CoNTRoL** · November 2nd, 2005, 12:07 PM

Hideous and Beautiful.

**NOOB!** · November 2nd, 2005, 05:00 PM

U have a new fan,the evil pope with the vagina and testes made me laugh!

**loomer** · November 2nd, 2005, 05:48 PM

Oh Lukavi you are so amazing .. oooo your concepts are so unique and fantastical
marry my sister....touch my lips with your magical drawing fingers ...ohhh!

- you constantly impress me. Your CHOW entry is one my favorites you have done...always with that magic lukavi touch.
did you wind up getting into round 3 of the LMS T-dome?
if not, then somebody is relieved..

**thief** · November 3rd, 2005, 03:58 AM

**Art_Addict** · November 3rd, 2005, 04:24 AM

Incredible work, very unique! lovely colors

Keep it up
Tom

**one2hit** · November 3rd, 2005, 04:43 AM

hot damn! I know this has been said before, but I really like the loose Amano style going on here. Although these have a lot more depth than the printmaking process!

The face in the background here is freaking sweet!! perfect expression. If you don't mind me asking, can you give some details away on how you create the background textures for those 8 drawings?

**sour** · November 6th, 2005, 11:43 AM

wow, i adore your style lukavi. i would love to see your take on more of the wizard of oz characters, namely glenda the good witch.

your style reminds me of something but i can't quite put my finger on it. you might have mentioned this already, so i am sorry if this is a repeat question. who are your influences, if you have any?

**Odds** · November 6th, 2005, 12:26 PM

moooore please!

**Moysturfurmer** · November 6th, 2005, 01:07 PM

Wow, this is some rad stuff. I read "weedy" as "weekly" and saw your last update was on November 1st, and I was happy.

Then I looked again an died a little on the inside.

**oishiiniku** · November 6th, 2005, 01:19 PM

Wow! There's so much good stuff in here. You've got a real individuality of style in the way you draw and the way you colour. I particularly like the mood in that Dracula pic. I also really like that there's a narrative element to practically everything you do. If I was going to be ultra critical, I'd say work on your poses and the finer points of anatomy a little more. But I'm just nitpicking!

Cant' wait to see more.

Ta, Nick.
