This was some quick drawings done for a friend to illustrate some "style cues" for 1940's era suits. People wore suits most of the time, back then. People also smoked a lot. such fine style. I put this up as others here may find it useful. scott A. H. Ruggels 1/ 2000

The Old Scholar, however found something that seemed to give some idea of what the ancient citizens of the city were like. He found a relief carved into an interior wall of one of the larger buildings, and took rubbings of several of the figures. However, within the relief, several of the figures seemed to have been carefully chipped out. Some discussion between Magnus and the Old Scholar as to whether the edited figures were Lupines or Humans. The Young Lord suggested that it could be something else. Pencil on Paper.

"Merwolf is © the poor sods in Mrs. Wesley's family studies class. Later on in that class, they gave Merwolf wings, and the creature committed suicide shortly thereafter. Police investigations lead to conjecture that it may have been a result of pilot error, or responding to reflections in the glass of the office windows. Further investigation continues." Apologies to Miss Fennel, btu I was bored. pencil on paper Scott A. H. Ruggels 1 / 2001

She looks pretty serene lounging against that monolith. She is a Ki-rin,, and the characters on the monolith are Japanese for "99". Traditional pencils, and brush, and Photoshop colors, backgrounds and Multiple layers `%-/. Sirrus is ©1999 Sara Palmer. Scott A. H. Ruggels

Here are some members of the <<Rengo Kantai>> (Combined Fleet) of the <<Nihon Kaigun>> (Imperial Japanese Navy) who are pivotal characters in this story, taking place in the South Pacific, sometime in 1936 - 37. The two in the foreground are officers, and the to inthe background are "able Seamen". These were done in my attempt at the Bruce Timm style. Brush ink on paper. Scott a. H. Ruggels 6 / 2000

Members of the local law enforcement community, including the chief constable. Also present is one of the sports reporters 9or doctor, I haven't made up my mind). The Thin wolf is Tumansky's driver, and the large bruin is some Soviet security. Brush Inks On paper Scott a. H. Ruggels 7 / 2000

Another sketchbook page of Timm-esque character designs for the upcoming project. The hound is a U.S. PFC guarding the base at the east end of east island. The Cossack in the upper middle is one of Tumansky's personal Staff. The Soldier next to him is a Tsarist guard, also part of Tumansky's (Well Tumansky's government's) Security service. The figure on the lower left is a reporter there to cover the races, and the Girl is just someone used for color. Brush inks on paper Scott A. H. Ruggels 7 / 2000

For a side project of mine. I have been in a bit of a rut. I thought that attempting to adopt the style of another artist might help me look at the material in a new light. Here's a picture of Tumansky using more of a Bruce Timm (Batman, Batman Beyond) type of line. Bruch Inks on paper. Scott A. H. Ruggels 6 / 2000

Here are various figures/characters in the story. The female is Richard bartrop's character Ilse. the two Gentemen in the back are shady characters. The piece continues in the Bruce Timm style attempt, and I have to keep kicking myself to omit detail. I have tried. maybe not enough, and I didn't have the heart to "polyreduce" the female to the usual Timm "stick woman". But I did try to keep the "curves versus Straights" that the Timm style relies on. Brush inks on pape. Scott A. H. Ruggels 6 / 2000
timtum02.gif - 2000-06-23
Here is some further exploration into the bruce Timm style. Tumansky has become further streamlined, losing most of the curve on his neck ruff. Next to him is Richard bartrop's Ilse. Also on the page is the Soviet race pilot, Irina, and a random character, someone's surly mechanic. I must say, the style is making me thing, but also, with the drawing simplified, I don't feel i have to do /as much/ research as before, so the project is seeming a lot less intimidating.

This is a picture composed by Steven Irvine of all the skins for my female werewolf model for Quake 2. The model is still available at <http://www.polycount.com> or at Steven Irvine's site <http://www.mjollnir.org/~sirvine/model-fwwolf.html> I thought I would share the fine work of the other individuals who have contributed to the success of the model. Their names are listed on the JPEG. and I again, thank them for their work. Scott Ruggels 2000

This is an example of my comic style Pencils, and Shows Tsurukh in an argumentative mood. it also shows more detail of her head armour. Not wise to piss off 800 kilos of muscular saurian.

Here is a head shot of Tumansky done in Pencils. This one shows more line and construction

for comparison, here are costume sketches of Tumansky done about a month ago. This is to contrast and compare the styles. These are probably a good illustration between "Style" and "Design" as Sondra has commented before. Tumansky is a thin, aristocratic Wolf. here, he is done in my usual style. Pen on Paper. Scott A.
