Cast at the Club Complete by Scott Ruggels

So the experiment with "Easy Paint Tool SAI" is at an end. the workflow other than botching the vector usage with just tablet, seems to be very similar to working with Photoshop, by way of Flash, in that layers are ink on top shadows and highlights in the middle and flat colors at the bottom. Here is the cast so far of the game I am in. Left to right: Nina, Slate, Nova, Erin, and Sergei. Easy Paint Tool SAI & Photoshop CS2. R U G G E L S / 2 0 0 9

Cast and the Club, Inked by Scott Ruggels

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 06:41:23 -0000

this is my first attempt using, "Easy Paint Tool SAI". If anyone has any tips, tricks or links for video tutorials please pass then along, This will eventually be colored. Comparing this to inking in Flash, this has more versatility and depth, but Flash is faster, and resolution independent. Inking in Sai, seemed to take as long as it took as it would using steel pens and Higgins Black ink. The original pencils can be seen in my sketch Gallery Uploaded on thsi same date.

Some meditation of the vehicles seen in the game. Old Soviet Era cars, lasting into the future due to their over engineered toughness, even if everything in them fails at certain times, converted to use ethanol. Motorcycle based two seat commuters. small urban commuters, and the "Company's Convoy Haulers". Engines that are fuel cel Hybrids with engine that will burn just about any grease or oil if necessary.

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:54:06 -0000

This is a gag. Slate and Nova go visit Nova's old College roommate, Nina. Nina was quite taken with Slate, and wasn't hesitant to show it. So I did a gag pic about the meeting and Nova's reaction to her more demonstrative friend, No she didn't do this, but she thought it . Pencil on Paper R U G G E L S / 2 0 0 9

Slate's car in the game is a "classic" convertible from 15 or so years into our future. uses a fairly common but slightly exotic fuel. Electric ars having disappeared due to wartime shortages, of batteries for submarines and the space program. It's not supposed to be of any particular make, but there are some BMW style cues.

Soldat01 by Scott Ruggels

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:08:40 -0000

More of the game art. this is what the troops of the Easter Bloc (russian Federation) looked like beofr e the collapse. With the Russians "The best,is the enemy of Good Enough" so they advance more slowly and assume minimal training and a basic education for their troops, also their resources are greater,so they used brass cased ammunition until 'recently". The visor is a thin flat screen material that can display a HUD and anoverlay, and is much more power efficient than the bells and whistles western Helmet. The second Version helmet is composites, which was cheaper and lighter, but the mystique of the titanium Helmet keeps it in most of the propaganda artwork. Pencil & Paper. R U G G E L S / 2 0 0 9

Trooper, the Golden Age by Scott Ruggels

Tue, 26 May 2009 18:46:13 -0000

showing the state of the infantryman's art, in the "golden age" befroe the collapse 12 years previous to the start of the game. This is what US /Western Coalition Forces wore, a full head helmet, partial exoskeleton, caseless rifle. The helmet is modular so with the right muzzle piece and basic size it can be parted to fit most anthros, Also included are various Remotely Piloted Vehicles and semi-autonomous drones, as no one risks a skilled pilot in a battle any more.

Working out a design (not necessarily finmal) of the hoverbike that figures prominently in the first part of the game. requirements were it to be armoured in the front and carry two people, plus some goods.

Sheet of NPC's 01 by Scott Ruggels

Sat, 23 May 2009 06:11:46 -0000

Often when I am in a game I'll doodle out pages of faced that fit the theme of the game and pass them to the GM as a way to put a face to a name, as it' s easier for me to remember them and keep the characters straight. In this game, the theme is a Near Future Campaign with a Summer Action Movie theme, So I doodled up characters I thought might fit the theme, and did a number of sheet during a slow period at work. This is the first of a couple/three/many. The thinking behind these is that yeah they are anthropomorphic, but they still have to function as plausible characters in a movie where the only humor is a clever one liner delivered before the character shoots their target in the face.

Bandolero by Scott Ruggels

Fri, 15 May 2009 17:06:41 -0000

This was a commission from a co-worker who wanted a Bandolero, a member of Zapata's revolutionaries from he turn of the century, defiant to the last at a firing squad, but with a skull for a head. I don't understand the symbology but I did as requested, and I thought it worked out. This was intended as a tatoo. I expect I will do a revision. No problem though, glad for the business. (much better discussing things face to face). Pen and brush inks on Bristol. R U G G E L S / 2 0 0 9
