Ok, so a small update on Lucas, for those keeping track. 

As I said in my last post I had some issues I'd run into that prevented me from updating much on Lucas.

Basically long story short, I lost my hard drive. Just decided to die on me one day, and everything on it was gone, to include Lucas. And because I suck at backing up my work as often as I should, I had no other copies of him to work on. 

It took a while, and I was more than a little pissed, at myself and all that, but I managed to get a guy to work on it to see if he could retrieve anything. It took nearly a month, and I wasn't able to retrieve everything, but luckily I managed to find one of the most recent versions of Lucas on the partial recovery the guy was able to do. It wasn't the final, and all the texturing, mapping, etc I'd done was gone. But at least it wasn't a complete loss. 

So I'm a good month or so behind where I should be with him at this point. Probably closer to 2. But the upside of it all is that I've been forced to go over the model again tightening up areas and I think he looks better now than he did the first time. So now I get to map him. Again. 

Moral of the story - back up everything, constantly, in at least 3 different places. 10 is better.
