Happy Valentine’s Day from Ruckus 💘
What would your note say?

Ours would say:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
In this co-op adventure,
I’m respawning with you.

Quite a rarity! I would guess the baby has already been delivered.

The Ruckus Games mascot is bringing in the New Years with a festive celebration! They are ringing a bell joyously while their older self snears in the background.

2026 steps in with some fresh bones! Happy New Year from the entire Ruckus Team! 🥳

Lifedrawing Log [12.21.25]

Lifedrawing Log [12.14.25]

I love your jazzy use of zigzags for a soft gradation.

Still doing plenty of drawing for fun, just more on Twitter. Bluesky never picked up for me, so I'll likely disengage from it more in the coming year. Shame!

A black robed wizard, embroided with stars, stands on top of a stone peak. Behind him, the vastness of the world. The early morning creeps amidst the ravines, painting the world in coy lilacs and deep purples. A city of horned spires jolts from the stony wastes, illuminated in bright cosmopolitan oranges. An alien zeppelin flares out its floodlights at the rooftops and beyond. The wizard stares at the viewer, though we do not see within his cloak and hood. Blackness. From the void creeps out two marble-white hands, old as time, covered in rings, gesturing in unknown signs. OMIOS URES

When one thinks "muse" one typically envisions a nymph, but you'd think, now that gender roles have been radically re-evaluated, you'd have more gents getting in on the action.

So meta! I love the activity you've given him. A little business... BUT YOU HAVE EXCEEDED YOUR LIMIT.

You sound like a great moderator! Wish I lived in your neck of the woods!

All the time. Have an entire document full of 'em. But I also think it's fun to say something intentionally brash/incendiary and see what the consequences are. Only way to do that is with a "live fire exercise."

The sneaky look-back!

Duuuuude, nice add! More passage of time as well.

Activity : Add ONE thing to this.

Art schools -- at least the ones in my area -- have been downscaling due to current events, meaning there are less open studios paying for models. Hope the trend reverses!

Were I to wager a guess, there are better ways to make cash now, given the rise in app-driven hustle culture that exploded after Covid.

Lifedrawing's a hard habit to keep up for several reasons : (1) Good sessions are fewer and far between. (2) Shrinking model pool. (3) While a challenging form of mental/physical calibration, it's not particularly exciting to draw people just standing/sitting around. There, I said it!

When the alien invasion happens, who will you be?

😱Kat Wishes She Had A Parachute🪂

When I was a kid, the image of the Frankenstein Monster had permeated the culture on every level, which is something that's pretty remarkable on hindsight.
I wanted to sketch out a super creepy, deformed looking version to get that part of my imagination rolling again!

Have a totally rad and safe Halloween, neighbors!
