STUDIO TIME with Lukas Ketner

Hey folks,

We're back with another Studio Time, as we pull a B&E on WITCH DOCTOR artist Lukas Ketner's studio. Follow the jump for Lukas's annotations on all the neat stuff hidden in this picture.

1. The Wacom Cintiq - Most people I meet are surprised that I do just about everything digitally. From thumbs to pencils to inks, everything is done on this puppy, and I’d be a little lost without it.

2. iPhone Dock made from animal vertebrae - Made by my brother Dane. He ate the rest of whatever Alaskan animal this was.  I like to think he slept in it first, much like a Tauntaun. 

3. Fingerless Cotton Gloves - Keeps my greasy mitts from sticking to the screen while I draw.

4. Reference Maquettes - Always a good tool to have for referencing lighting and difficult poses.  If you look closely, you can see the Dr. Morrow head I sculpted.

5. Golden Dawn Occult Handbook - Found in the attic of a Southern plantation house. I’m not making that up, and I’m very likely cursed. Or something.

6. Mr. Spock Prayer Candle - Always makes me smile in a logical manner.

7. TARDIS Lunchbox - All of my old art supplies fit in here. It is, after all, bigger on the inside.

8. Paper Mache Halloween Mask - Not actually a part of the studio, but still pretty cool

9. Comfy Chair - Butt goes here, and stays until I finish that page. Otherwise, no pie.

10. Medical reference - You can never have too much reference, even if it is 19th century illustrations of disgusting surgeries and maladies.
