I would be nothing without Z-Brush. lol. I admire the skills of people who can push points around all day and turn out realistic figures, i just don't have the patience for it. I work with clay in the real world, so being able to work with digital clay that sculpts like real clay is the best of both worlds. 

Lucas will have ethnic morphs, that's not a problem. 

Exactly how I will bundle his innitial distribution, I haven't figured out fully just yet, and a lot of it will depend on how many artists (if any) I get to work on content for him at release. But he will be fully supported by me at the very least. I'm not just going to release a figure and then never release anything more to support that figure. That just wouldn't make sense to me, and would basically be a waste of time. 

Lucas and his female counterpart are the bases for several other concepts I have been working out. But I can't do anything with those concepts until Lucas is done. Once he is fully rigged, it will give me a much more accurate perspective on how I can move forward with the other concepts I have. 

This is a huge project, but it is a full time job for me. I work on him every day, every chance I get, and every day he is progressing. I'm also working on other smaller projects that are easier to complete and will (hopefully) generate some much needed additional income in the short term. Unfortunately they do take away development time from Lucas, but at this point it is necessary in the long run. I have many many big things planned for him, but I have to stay grounded in order to stay focused.
