Cody J. Spaid (Illucian)

And now to bore you with text before you get to the art. Hi! I'm Cody Spaid, commonly known on the 'net as Illucian (nicknamed Lux). I draw for the sheer fun of it, and mostly mythical creatures. I'm 21 years old, and married to James Spaid (aka Eclipse). I live in Petaluma, California, which is north of San Francisco. Specificly, I live on the US Coast Guard Training Center, 8 miles outside Petaluma. I used to be rather common around the Gryphon's Guild, so if you recognize the name, that's likely where you saw it--either that or LiveJournal.

I do commissions. Reasonable, negotiable rates. Contact me if you're interested. (Whee, I sound like a commercial.) And I am open to art trades or even straight-out requests, but the latter only if I have the time and inclination. E-mail me and be polite, that's basicly it.

Hey, and once you're done here, check out some of these other galleries, in no particular order at all:
Jennifer Miller (Nambroth) || Kimberly Petrie (Kimbo) || Xenia Arrick (Swandog) || Erin Schmidt (Kynekh) || Ashley Gaia (Orca) || Heather Schumacher (LadyHawk/Nova) || Diana Brinkley || Erin Prince (Naryu) || Melissa Beth Sumby (Likeshine) || Tiina Purin || Jessica Edstrom (K'tathi-Neko)

--LAST UPDATE: October 16th, 2004--

To look up older images, check my archives on DeviantART and VCL.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who commented on 'Storm Flight' when I received Mod's Choice. It's the first time I received that highlight, and I tried my best to respond to everyone. Again, thanks so much!

Date Name Comment   5 Feb 2004 Cecilie Larsen Loading... Thank you for letting me know that Elfwood is processing tickets once again. I just dropped by to make a comment on your picture of Taran, and to let you know that I adore your creative sense and artistic style. I’m glad to see that you are continuing to upload images to this gallery of yours, since I can’t post comments to your other online galleries, and I too will try to keep my little corner of Elfwood updated as best I can. Good luck with everything! ~Taran. 5 Feb 2004 Nikki *Aisling* Robinson Loading... Hey there sweet-sister! I don't know HOW you do all this wonderful oekaki! I stink at it... so hard! o_o Keep it up! You improve with every picture, and your gryphs are beautiful! Love, your Slinky-sis 5 Feb 2004 Viv. ´Sai´ Chien Loading... Heylo Bright-Lite. You wanted a comment, so I comment. Hmmm... what can I say... you are definitely better at this computer coloring thing on oekaki and such now, and it's good to see that improvement. "The only way this pup knows, is up!" (quotage, yarr.) That said, I have a challenge! Yes, a challenge, for you. Actually, just a curious thought that passed my mind as I bounced through your gallery. I would like to see your artwork.. mm... go right to left, rather than left to right. I mean, if you have a looksee at your gallery as is, only 'Thunderstruck' is the one that has yon face/head facing the right. So, that is my art challenge to ya. Us right-handed artists have the tendency to work left to right and all, and I've tried m'self to break off that habit. And I miss your traditional drawings too! Do you still have a scanner or access to one? Or... wait... I know you said something about that before. Gah. 2000 characters only. Alrighty then. There's my comment. 6 May 2004 Anne P. Terry Loading... Hey! Lovely arts! And go you for living in Texas! I myself, volunteer at the Texas Zoo... yeah, we're little and need ALOT of work, but I'm gonna be there through it all! That's awesome that you do rehab; I don't get to do too much of that- I'm more in the education department... but anyways, congrats on your mod's choice!!! Cody J. Spaid (Illucian) replies: "Yay Texas! Though I'm a military wife, so who knows where I'll be in five years... But still, I like Texas a lot. Much nicer weather in the wintertime than Montana where I grew up! Say, is that the zoo in Victoria? If so, I've visited and was pretty impressed for such a small facility. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!" 7 May 2004 SherryJo 'Leiara' Stover Loading... Hi! I've enjoyed your art work here and I think it is beautiful and vivid, filled with colours. I do have one suggestion though...I do the exact same thing in my art and I'm trying to stop, I noticed that in almost all of your pictures the head and/or body is facing towards the left side of the paper (as if you were looking down at it) and that also tells me you're right handed. Try facing their heads in the opposite direction! ^_^ But don't worry, like I said, I do the same thing! Just some advice, please don't be angry! ^_^ 7 May 2004 Vanessa Friese Loading... Awesome gallery^^ I guess you really like animals, especially birds, don't you?! Keep it up! 13 Jun 2004 Taly ´TrollGirl´ Reznik Loading... Hellow! i really adore your gallery - it's so colourfl, so much cute griffies, and the Dark Rainbow is beyond all praise (i tried to steal him but failed). anyway, i have a weird question to you , so i'm asking for permission to e-mail you. any possibility? Cody J. Spaid (Illucian) replies: "Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my art. You can definitely e-mail me. My e-mail is illucianlux@aol.com." 15 Jul 2004 Sherrie Spencer Loading... Wow, what a great gallery. You have some really good artwork. Keep it up!! Actually I kinda had a alterior motive for wondering in here. I been on Elfwood for a really long time, and I was wondering if you would just go and peak at my page and tell me what you think. Please. If not, its no big deal, I'm just trying to generate more traffic (and comments heh) on my page. Thanks Again great art. Never stop. 25 Sep 2004 Alice Muffin Girl Smith Loading... *hugs you* 7 Jan 2005 Erin Loading... AHHHH!
