Justine,
Hahathna hasn't had much time to update the Yahoo group. He actually moved half way across the country when he had to switch jobs. with everyone sharing artwork files and a lot of people doing free art, A lot of people think we have stuff coming in all the time. Both Hahathna and I worked at one time or another in mainstream comics.
Even though we knew a lot of other artists, to get pro pieces it takes a lot of money. For instance, the green background piece with Huntress, Catwoman, and Black Cat, all tickling Wonder Woman originally cost me over $200.00. I pencil a little myself, but I'm mainly a colorist, so I've bought my share of art. Even close buddies in the business will charge. Most pro to pro deals are at a cut rate, but it's still a lot of money. Some guys that were charging say $200 for a piece, I might be able to get for say $100.00. The Ivy Wonder Woman cost me I think $75.00 as a friend price. Normally it would have been $150-200. And that was black and white. I normally colored any new piece that both he and I had coming in, but my time got limited and I had to spend more and more time on work that actually paid. At one point I was coloring 3 books a month at DC with specials thrown in, but it slowly dried up.
That's the main reason the group hasn't been updated in awhile. Both Hahathna's and my job situation changed and we simply ran out of money. I still work with some main stream artists, but it's been a long time since I've commissioned any artwork. I'm going to try to get back to drawing so I can get a new character launched in a new series. We'll see how that goes.
I hope that explains a lot about the LOST club. Hahathna deserves a lot of credit for the work he put in to make that site what it was and is.
