Dan has been my favorite artist since i discovered him on DeviantArt when he was still concepting LMS. I hadn't seen much new from him for awhile now, glad to hear he's still working on it.
I don't know if it's just that Dan is so interesting to listen to, or his story is so compelling, that I had to watch this twice in a row (or listen to it while working actually).
I found this vid and the channel because I've been following Dan's work, and today out of nowhere I started wondering about him, because it's been years since I saw something from him or from LMS (which had me so hyped and inspired back then when it came out), and I googled him and I stumbled upon here.
So, I'm glad I found this!
Dave Rapoza and Dan Luvisi were the two artist that inspired me to keep going! Dave Rapoza would be a great guest. KEEP UP THE GREAT PODACST. Thank you.
Good idea, lets try to get him on :)
Dan's story is amazing and inspiring. I always like how he avoids sugar-coating how difficult is to fight for your dreams. Thanks a lot to Jan and Emmanuel for having him. He really deserves the title of "The Struggler" :) He knows why
Yes its good to get a dose of reality. This is what it takes to get YOUR story made. Everybody who thinks they can just throw some images together and Netflix knocks on the door needs to watch this I think :)
I love this guys story, living it in high tech world RIGHT NOW. Stay positive, believe in yourself, don't be a sellout.
Thank you!
By far one of my favorite artists, not just because of his incredible work but because of how sincere and authentic he is. Super real guy.
It takes a lot of courage to tell it how it is, but I'm glad people like him exist!
Dan is pure inspiration for many artists such as me, both in art and mindset ..really glad to hear his story through your podcast, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for listening!
Great Convo! It's awesome to see how Dan has stuck to his guns over the years.
Yup, thats quite some dedication :)
Gotta be honest. Dude is an amazing artist.
Like inspirational for a whole generation.
But I think he kinda lost his mind, with his ideas on politics philosophy etc.
And I personally think he is vastly overrating LMS, sounds more like standard anime or fighting game plot to be honest. Like yeah sounds fun, but it's just a power fantasy at the end of the day, it's not that deep.
I really hope he gets his dream of a movie or any media property based on LMS done, because that's awesome.
But I can't help, but try to pull him down to earth a little, we are not talking divine inspiration here, this is all derivative, like his main guy is just SWAT Boba Fett and he's going around killing weird characters at the end of the day.
Also and I'm not a psychologist, but he should be looking into therapy. Maybe it was his coke head movie friends that gas light him at seemingly every turn, but something has warped this mans sense of reality. He seems super unstable, but sometimes that creates the best art, what do I know.
And before anyone says I'm just a hater ass bitch, I have told people about this movie and followed this guy for like a decade. I really hope he LMS gets done and also I'm a hater ass bitch, I admit it.
happy he's still making art, i followed his work for years but then he seemed to disappear from all social media
Yes we were also curious as to what he was up to. Great to hear indeed he's still going strong!
54:23 berserk was mentioned!! Was waiting for this to be mentioned knowing how much of a fan dan luvisi was of berserk. Loved this podcast :)
Thanks Ben!
Dan's journey is incredibly inspiring, thank you ADP for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
While I respect his patience, I also worry that every year another piece of that originality pie is getting gobbled up by new entertainment properties.
I mean, Dan said himself, when he first started all of this, John Wick and Deadpool weren't really a thing. But now they are.
Patience is one thing, but what happens if the train passes while he's waiting? I mean, look at something like Cyberpunk 2077, it might not have been a huge success but now if LMS releases, it's going to draw a lot of comparisons to what CDPR and Pondsmith did with that.
I work in a slightly different industry, so maybe I'm waaaaay off-base, but following up, being that nagging girlfriend/boyfriend is crucial sometimes. People will forget and they will leave something to wither if they don't have it at the front of their thoughts.
I want to see Dan's vision finally realised. I want to see this dude succeed, for all of us.
Still remember back in 2008 discovering his work on DeviantArt. Man, that feels like multiple lifetimes ago.
I bought the kill book a decade ago in college. Now I'm married with 3 kids. I understand it's hard to get a start in the industry, but it's just sad nothing has come from this world he set up.
I remember shortly after getting the killbook, he was toying with the idea of making a black and white comic based off everything. But then scraped it because it didn't have the ultra colorful tones of the killbook.
I'd kill for that comic now, because it would have actually told the story we've never got to see.
@@higglybiggly1174 Hey, I'm married with 3 also XD
Never got the Killbook but always wanted it, this being said, the typos might drive me nuts since a lot of my day job is finding and correcting them haha.
I remember the first time I heard that Universal was looking at it for a movie, got so excited to see an artist take his dream that far. Didn't pan out, but I agree, this universe is just begging to hit the big leagues.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 it's an amazing read. He sets up an amazing, beautiful world. I spent days pouring over it, it's so packed with material. Now it just makes me sad, because all these awesome characters and plot lines he set up in it have never come to pass. Back then, it's understandable. But he could easily release a digital comic all under his own label and brand on today's internet and become huge.
@@higglybiggly1174I know this is an old comment but he should have just focused on making a comic and then do a movie thing. He put his chicken before the egg.
How the f this is only 3k views ? Dan is among the brightest.
Awww yeehhh!!
:)
funny I always watch your episodes but somehow I missed this. great gust and great story+ defiantly agree with Dan, I always thought ppl focus on their body or mind or craft but never consider their soul. as humans I believe these 4 all need to be taken care of to find a joyful life
Probably one of the most influential people in digital art. Thanks for having him on her episode. It is always inspiring to hear his passion and see his art.
Thanks!
I cant wait! I was just thinking about Dan Luvisi the other day. His journey is relatable to mine, and I was just wondering how he was doing. So it’s like you read my thoughts:)
He has a great story to tell!
@@artdepartmentpodcast Agree:)
I am so ready!!!
hehe
Ooooh yeah, can't wait!
It'll be worth it!
@@artdepartmentpodcast Back in 2012 on a Crimson Daggers podcast with Dave Rapoza an Dan Warren I heard Dan talk about his arm injury. Did this ever come back and does he have any practical tips? Got wrist issues, doc (orthopedist) says there's nothing, bones are perfectly fine, just overuse. "Rest and take a pill if it hurts" he said. Nope, not taking pills. Went to a physical therapist and his stretches plus a full body workout help, but it's very slow. Maybe I'm missing something or Dan had some newer experiences in this area (I hope he's been fine though). I'm looking for the magic solution it seems, maybe other viewers of the podcast could use a few pointers here, too. Thank you guys.
@@FloTasser He hasn't mentioned anything I recall. But you might wanna check out our episode with Colie Wertz. He battled (and overcame) issues with his wrists (and so many other things) over the years. Very inspiring and it might give you some pointers.
@@artdepartmentpodcast Thank you. Haven't checked that episode, but will do today.
I still cherish the LMS book I ordered from Heavy Metal as a teen. Keep fighting Dan.
!!!
Glad to see he keeps going, Hope to see LMS one day, and also would like a link to that 7 m short :P
Yes, we're all waiting for that! :)
Whatever happened to the movie?
Its nice to hear about Dan after all these years. He suddenly disappear from facebook and I was recently wondering what happened to him.
We wondered too, glad to hear he's still going strong!
Amazing
Thanks!
i bet the teachers in dans life are shocked that dan had created a high sucessful book and made it into a movie
Its like judge dred all over again
Huh? :)
Damn where do you dig this guys?!🤓
What do you mean, Dan has a massive following :)
@@artdepartmentpodcast It was more meant like a joke, i am just impressed by their stories.
@@einwandfuffi Ah I see :)
