I am happy to say that after 22 hours and countless millions of dollars and quite a few valuable lives, the second boston marathon bomber has been captured, identified, and will remain in custody. I am so happy to see everyone cheering on the streets and the fact that we came together as a nation and worked towards a similar goal and were successful is something that we should be forever proud of.

-Luka

So much arting last night!! Now to eat some breakfast and watch the events in Boston play out...holding my breath until this second guy is caught. Stay safe everyone.

-Luka

Please, everyone of you, in that area, please please PLEASE turn on your T.V's this morning and watch the news. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES leave your houses for any reason. DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR UNLESS IT IS A UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICER!!! You are all on a lockdown. No work, school, or anything. You must stay indoors while they search for the second bomber of the Boston Marathon. The first bomber was killed overnight in a police shootout. There is no one coming into your areas and no one going out. The police are going door to door doing searches and identifying everyone and also searching for the other bomber. Keep yourselves safe please and everyone else...PRAY. It doesn't matter to who or how you do so but just pray alright? We need to get this second guy. And I want everyone else to stay unharmed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am arting so hard it isn't even funny....O.O Get yo' heads out of the gutter your dirty minded furries you! -smiles evily- just kidding. Think what you like but it would seem that my funk has lifted itself just as unexpectedly as it began. I have been drawing ALL.NIGHT.LONG. Fueled by sweet tea and the movie Anonymous, I am pumping out pieces for the series like no ones business!

....your minds are still in the gutter....aren't they?

-Luka

They sometimes bring people together. I found a kindred spirit this early morning with  arcanafox. She feels my pain...literally. I am now inclined to draw a very comical chibi comic of poor luka and arcana and their thoughts on their pains in the chest. O.O

Not sure why but I have just been in a funk the past week or so. -shrugs- Hopefully it will go away as suddenly as it came and I will be back to my old hyper self and not so run down and tired all the time. Worst part of it is that being a survivor of cancer, I remember just exactly how I felt before I was diagnosed...when we were clueless as to what exactly was going on inside of me. And I felt just like this. With those ideas looming over me and the fact that every time I close my eyes I relive the moments in the days last year when my parents passed...this wolf just isn't feeling up to herself anymore...I swear I am trying to work on the series but it seems that everything that is drawn is severely flawed in comparison to other pieces from other artists. I know I shouldn't compare them ever. One of the cardinal rules of art but I guess my mind is only seeing the flaws when it is in this fog. I wanna smile again. I want to giggle over silly things and draw WELL. -sigh-

With that said, I am going to try and work on the series pieces now. Maybe it will help my mind a bit just to draw until I can't draw anymore.....

-Luka

Yep just finished it and omfg.....can i PLEASE have Peeta for breakfast?! This goes against my rainbowy ways but DAMN THAT BOY IS HOT. O.O I am now going to go and take a cold shower (might help the hot and bothered part of me thanks to peeta) and then TRY to get some sleep. And by sleep I mean toss around for the next five or eight hours....whichever comes sooner. In case you haven't caught on yet....the eight will come sooner if I happen to drift off into some peeta filled fantasy of dreamland.

hunger games and hungry wolves- Luka

SO MANY. THEY ARE STREWN ACROSS MY HARDRIVE FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER!....But its ok. I got it. lol

Finished one piece today, put up the wip of another. Also have about six others sketched up and ready for the line art process so I can post those wip's as they are done. How are you all doing?? Thinkin I may go and stretch my digits over the lands of azeroth. If you know what I am talking about...I now love you profusely.


naughty bits and tired tablets-Luka

Yep, this wolf is pumping out some naughty bits sketches tonight. Here is a bit of what is on the playlist because it's just awesome...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxxajLWwzqY and this as well, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI-D90D4s3o. Ya...behold the awesome jam session. I will throw the sketched versions of what I doodle up tonight into my scraps so keep an eye out on that place! It isn't dead yet! They will just be wip's remember but still...don't want everyone to think I am just doing absolutely nothing now. =) You shall all have your bits soon enough!


P.S. Had a bad anxiety attack and had to take my meds so I will be having those kick in soon enough as well which always helps me focus and pump out some arts.

Dubstep and Doodles- Luka

Starting tonight, I will be sketching out the first pieces for the series. Since these pieces are randomly chosen they will be (or I should say the characters) will be randomly placed according to their orientation and/or preference. I will be doing them sets of three and that is ten a week. This is a goal I have set for myself so if I do happen to surpass it, which I seem to do with most other things, you should be expecting bits all OVER this wolf's gallery. Imma go eat somthin, put on meh rubber gloves cause these bits be messy and get to work!

REMINDER: If for any reason you feel the need to tell me something I URGE you to do so. Please, this is a learning process for me as well and I am more than happy to make adjustments to things to suit the owners of the characters.

Just a friendly reminder of my free art raffle going on! We are officially at the half way point for entries so if you haven't already entered, now is your chance!! This is the first raffle of its kind!

The Naughty Bits Series!
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4479589/

The title is quite accurate I can assure you. I am looking for quite a few characters to star in my new art series called Naughty Bits! It is basically different angles and styles of the male/female/herm anatomy. These pieces will not be COMPLETE but just glimpses into the more intimate areas of these individuals. No headshots or anything of the sort. But the pieces will be inked and possibly shaded depending on the mood and so on. Problem is, I don't have a billion characters to draw...yet. And that is where you come in. If you would like to have your character used just fill out the form below and follow the guidelines! I am taking 30 different slots for this series and will be picking the characters by random number selection. Good luck to all entries!

Rules
1.) You MUST be 18+ to have your character considered. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone but I refuse to draw underage pronz.
2.) Be following me
3.) Promote this journal with a journal of your own. You MUST post a link to your journal. All entries that do not meet this requirement will not be considered.
4.) Post a reference of your character
5.) Gender of character?
6.) Sexual preference?

I will be working on the rough sketches of the poses while this journal circulates. Keep an eye out on scraps to see previews of such pieces.

Wolf lovins and chocolate strawberries- Luka

My friends are in DIRE need of your help! Their car isn't in working order and life kinda sorta depends on it working again or finding a car that does. If you live in or around the Illinois area please share your inexpensive car finding solutions mk? Meanwhile....he will soon be offering up some slots in an iron artist and taking on some more commissions in general to try to help cover this mess which will be stressful for him but fantastic for you! Never seen his art? Check it out NAOW!!  MyLoveless is wonderful and has a great gift. Go see for yourself.

The original journal detailing the issues can be seen below..

Ya so uh....went to the store yesterday (walmart mind you...the glue that holds all walks of life together) and it was snowing. Now, when I say snowing I don't just mean a few flurries like you see in a romantic movie scene....no...OOOHHHH NOOOOO

WINTER WAS MAKING EARTH IT'S BITCH...so to speak. And now there is just a grand array of snow all over the damn place. Seeing as Spring "officially" started on the 20th, I think that it is safe to say that bitch hit the snooze button on her alarm clock. For what reason...I do not know but it is starting to get on my nerves. Literally. The chemo and radiation treatments from the past three years have decided that this wolf's bones are going to ache more than anything. My feet are like lead and have needles going in them when I walk and now my hips have decided to create their own song called "The Crackin Waltz", and believe me it isn't getting good reviews. Weather man says it should be getting warmer soon and I am hoping now that he can actually have dignity because the weather has also been sending everyone on the damn weather station into an eternal mind fuck. Poor guy...he probably needs to sit down and have a talk with the equinox and tell it that it took a wrong turn somewhere because judging from the snow patched earth outside right now...that bitch needs a new gps system.

End of rant- the cracking Luka.

Wanted to let everyone know that things are going quite well here in the great white north!! It's quite cold out in the early 20's and being born and raised in Florida...this girl is quite COLD!! My fingers are finally thawing and the life is starting to find a new sense of normalcy which was desperately needed.
As of late, I am very diligent in my WoW progressions..haha. The hunter is super charged now and is reared and ready for some serious raiding. The new patch is out and with that I am teaming up with my other hunter half in my guild to start up our core raiding and core pvp group. She will master our pvp group and I will start training and interviewing for our raiding group. It's a slow process but the only key we are missing to start putting our names further up the charts for the United States realms.
Also...in a fit of nerd happiness I got the rare world drop mount from the Isle of Giants boss, Oondasta. VERY HAPPY NERD WOLF IS HAPPY.

Headsets and undead hunters- Luka

To all of my lovely friends,

I am happy to announce that I am settled in my new house in an entirely new environment for me!! Being a Florida Furry born and raised, living in Sylvania Ohio is wonderful!! There are mountains and snow...SNOW!! I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT THAT LAST PART! I do miss the warmth but I love this snow even more. I am finally out on my own and since I now have this wireless set up, I can be on more often. I hope to continue more arting and will show you all some new things soon!!

Snow flakes and new changes- Luka

Yes, more packing. I never knew I had so much stuff...honestly! Good news is that there is finally a set date on leaving FL. And that is March 8th. Finally getting somewhere with all of this mess. That in itself is comforting. And now begins the long list of dinners and tear filled visits of our friends and family that we will be missing very much when we finally drive away. Tonight it is dinner with teh sister of  monster-vye and her friend. But it will be ok. That is what planes and trains and cars are for right?


Almost to freedom...almost- Luka

Hello all!

I hope that everyone has been doing well? I've been super busy lately trying to pack and get rid of things.  monster-vye and I leave for Ohio on the 8th as far as I can tell. The departure date is a little foggy due to the fact that we are driving and trying to get everything done before then! I am definitely going to miss this Florida winter weather. Short sleeves...shorts....not having to wear an Eskimo suit when I walk outside...lol

Back and still trying to improve meh arting! I LOVE positive criticism and critiques so those are always welcomed. A few more fabulous things to take note of:

- I am OFFICIALLY in remission as of yesterday!
-This born and raised florida girl will be moving to Ohio in two weeks or so.
-A big thank you to two of my close friends and muses,  xxsilvershadowxx and  myloveless for their concerns and inquiries into my sudden absence. You two are just....AMAZING!!
- oh my lovely lizard <3  eyegrim thank you for your positive words and concerns.

And now I shall doodle some more whilst watching The L Word.

How have YOU all been?

http://m.youtube.com/index?&des.....feature=relmfu

I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF!!!

HAI!!!!!!

I must first and foremost wish everyone a very happy new year. We have indeed survived another Mayan disaster...the first was of their own doing of course. And the second...well it never really happened now did it?!

My artwork has come to a rather abrupt halt due to the sudden and tragic death of my computer. *sigh* So, until I get a new one, you shall all have to make due with slow but sure pieces that I have already been working on.

A super wonderful fantastical thank you to my handsome lizard  eyegrim for that absolutely stunning picture that he had done of myself and him. So stunning, you spoil me badly! And as if it couldn't get any better it was by one of my two favorite artists,  MyLoveless!! A dear friend and teacher of mine that has brought my sona to life in oh so many colorful (and naughty) ways! A warm thank you as well to his wonderful girlfriend  xxsilvershadowxx. You and Loveless were so caring when I lost my parents the last three months. I can't thank you enough for the kind words and support of friendship and just an open keyboard and ear to listen to me and inquire on my well being during my delicate (and still very much so) state. You are so wonderful and you both deserve each other so much. I am glad to have you both in my life!

Meh lovely sharky lady friend,  veronique13 I still have a little something I am cooking up for you. Just wait and see! >=-D

And now to my health, it has been quite shaky of late. I have been battling a bad infection but am much better now. After a blown vein and some recon from a better nurse my body is rehydrated and full of antibiotics. I am on the mend! I am on steroids for my fragile lungs and their asthmatic habits so hopefully that will help me breathe a little easier...literally.

Keep that great art coming! I love seeing it and favoring the most tantalizing pieces that capture my eyes and my interest.

Antibiotic kisses and asthmatic wishes for a better and healthier new year- Luka

Yes. Well apparently I have been doing it the hard way. lol. There must be an easier way than doing it piece by piece by piece. Tomorrow after work I shall troll youtube for such knowledge and put it to good use. If you happen to have a method...(most likely easier than my own) FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT!. lol. Shoot me a note or send up a flare....well maybe not that last part... =3


Wolfie hugs and kitty snugs- Luka
