Lucas says hi!
.
Hey, everyone. Sorry I haven't been around. I keep thinking I'm going to post more often, and then I don't. I think I might be tired of the internet. *sigh*
Anyway, I know some people don't like spiders, so I thought I'd post this. Lucas is an animation project by Joshua Slice, who decided to do something about people's arachnophobia. Thus, meet Lucas - the cutest spider in the world.
Lucas the Spider
He has too many eyeballs.
Lucas is voiced by Slice's five-year-old nephew, and is designed with all the visual tropes used by animators to humanize animals - big eyes that blink, short limbs, unthreatening postures. He is, in truth, the cutest spider I've ever seen.
Lucas has his own Youtube channel, where you can watch him playing in the sink, dealing with the new "polar bear" in the house, and cleverly escaping capture in a wine glass. (The one where he plays a tiny harp and sings a song will lay you out flat, it's so adorable.)
Here's a video about Lucas's origins and process.
Lucas's creator explains how he makes people
fall in love with spiders.
Enjoy!
