Why a secret page? I have no idea, I just felt like it. It's not like I've been too secretive about anything I've got on the net. So, what I'll do, at least for now, is use this page to post the art that was used to create the web site itself (the doodles and sketches), as a perk for all you folks out there with more time and ingenuity than common sense. :)
All of the images have been redone as clickable buttons now, so the page loads faster, but you can still see the full sized images if you want to. I didn't do this before because I was being lazy. :)

This is one of the images that didn't make the cut. Originally intended for the "Galleries" button, it turned out not to work well at the size of the buttons.
|
I'm not sure what inspired this, but I liked the idea. This was for the "Ego" section. This version, like the one for the "Galleries", didn't work at the desired scale.
|
This is the B&W of the frontispiece. Too bad it was so small to load fast. Maybe I'll do a better color version later.

Again, no idea what inspired this, but I like the idea, and it seems to fit my personality under certain circumstances.
|
This is the piece that actually became the "Ego" button, albeit in cropped form, Simpler and larger than the first piece. I liked the original better but this one worked.
|
The last button, and probably the most hurried, as I was getting antsy to get the damned page up. I do like the cartooned version of me, though.

I attempted to create a "theme" for the website design, using Anubis-jackals. Some ideas, like animated mouse-pointers, got left behind for speed's sake.
|
A different concept drawing for the animated pointer.
|
Probably the most (overly) ambitious plan I had was for some flash animations to "spice up" the site. Again, these plans got laid aside due to time constraints. I may completely them later, but who knows?

The entry page that auto-forwards to the main index, was originally also going to be Flash animated. Muse, the jackal-girl, was going to pop up through a rotating Lobo Loco Enterprises logo. This is one of the concepts for Muse, for that animation.
