Hot Blooded Tough Guy Rusty Shackles

It’s the boy’s birthday so he’s celebrating it by having friends over to play MVC2

Some days being a dad is alright

The prototype one even more so!

Thinking about my ALIEN SOLDIER postcard for HG101. I tried to inject some Kirby madness into it because the title screen absolutely feels right at home in a new gods comic

I’m very excited for you to pick up the game and tell all your friends that your best friend Rusty did the art.

This is an exciting time for you!!

i figure you get enough backlash to me for my regular art on here!

enjoying all the various media outlets putting the Netflix / WB merger in scope for it's audience. all "to help you understand, Scorpion and Sub-Zero will now be owned by Netflix"

I know you’re probably thinking “but Rusty how could anyone not love your style and by extension, you as a person?” And believe me sister I don’t get it either!!!

(Tbf I changed the art for a lot of major guys right out of the gate so I came hot in at main event level, I get it)

When this project started the fan base was pretty split on my style so I nearly did not take this gig. But about that same time my supporters got more vocal that I could see so I decided to stick with it and I’m very glad I did.

The urban horror adventures begin for the mismatched pair of PI's in New York City. Like Buffy meets The Odd Couple!

I wonder if he has customizable fur options because a lot of people are going to be upset

also happy to see my gal STOMP KAIJU get a nice prominent spot in the trailer!

wrestling fans, wrestling sim fans, Rusty fans, fan fans, please share and help me get the hype train a rollin!

i'm stoked too because I can show off my original version for 90s Lazer. Since Lazer is a Sting homage we thought it would be fun if he was influenced by a different comic book character (Spawn)

In today's FREE article, @alexschmidty.bsky.social is covering the literary adaptation of The Emoji Movie. It's mostly "an insult to films and books and emojis and the idea that we owe each other anything as human beings," so I'm sure you'll love it. 1900hotdog.com/2025/12/nerd...

Hardcovers came in for my new book, I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200! Look at this beautiful beast.
