Been a while since I posted, But now that I'm on a small sabbatical I'm working on some more portfolio pieces and pushing myself a bit with digital painting. Just thought I'd share some progress. Enjoy. Alos added a few more images (costumes, illos and concept art) to my website @ www.lucasculshaw.com head on over and check em out.

Art is always evolving, take this painting for instance. It started as a quick monster face doodle then I threw long legs on it then I threw it in a closet and then drew a quick silhouette opening the closet which quickly became my nephew Conrad. And viola! Now it's this crazy image and I'm pretty happy with the end result. Funny, you never know where a sketch will take you.

Today I was asked to Demo an image for the Halloween Horror Nights Press event, I had around 3 hours from start to completion. It was my first time drawing in front of a crowd and had to stop frequently for interviews so I'm pretty happy how it turned out.
You can see more of the images for this years event at http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com/hollywood/2012/gallery.php

Gillman!

Finally finishing up some paintings and got to my Monster Squad version of the Gillman on a hot date in the classic Universal Movie setting. Even got the crew of the Rita on the lookout.

Cover Girl Updated

Got some free time on my Holiday break and getting some work done on this cover image for my art book , a few more tweaks and she'll be ready for print.

Cover Girl

Working on the cover to my artbook coming out this fall along with a few new pieces I've been thinking up. Skull face turned out to be a nice addition I like.



BTW I pinched a nerve in my lower back and have been in pain all day yet like a crazy person I still worked on this.

Coming this spring
