According to Karen Rustad, Ruth has risen from her Roomies!-crafted grave the old-fashioned way, by digging herself up out of her own coffin! And her wrists are all slashed! Oh, okay, I see, this is a Kill Bill reference, not a suggestion of Unfortunate Implications. Phew!

Frightening Spectre-Ruth by Yovnocrats
by David M Willis on October 6, 2010 at 12:00 pmI think we’ve discovered a favorite subject for Dumbing of Age fan art. Though, hey, look, it’s Mike! He’s novel! Thanks, Yovnocrats, for adding to our nightmare fuel.
Hey, look, more art of Ruth! This time, it’s be Erika Peterson. Ruth looks pleasant. … suspiciously pleasant. Hrn.
This can’t be good.
Hey, it’s Ruth and a pile of her bone-of-choice! I’m, uh, sure, she acquired these bones in a very very legal and not at all gross and terrible way. Let’s ask Trae Dorn, creator of UnCONventional, who drew this for us.
…or maybe we should just call the cops…
I’ve been drawing Joyce half my life. Here’s some images of her pulled from my hard drive, arranged chronologically, for funsies. Try to guess at which point I took life drawing lessons!
IT’S PRETTY EASY.
Here’s more Dumbing of Age fanart from the guys behind the webcomic Living with Insanity, David Herbert and Paul Salvi. They’re tapping into a key theme of DoA, which is girls punching things.
In addition to Monday’s new Joyce art, here’s some new Billie art. This week I began drawing the “second day” of Dumbing of Age, and so I’m testing out characters in other clothes.
Here’s Billie, of course, in the universal language of current college-age girls, aka stretchpants and Uggs.
Hey, look! It’s our first non-porn Dumbing of Age fanart! I say “first non-porn” because apparently when you tell people to not draw characters having sex with horses, that immediately causes people to draw characters having sex with horses. The More You Know. TM
This entry is by Brian Daniel, who has a webcomic called Shifter. Go check it out! Let this be a lesson to you: if you draw my characters (minus penetration of some kind), I might put you up here on the blog.
Enjoy some additional Joyce art. I realized I wasn’t really satisfied with the original stock Joyce artwork (the one that’s shown next to her assortment of sweater vests), and so I was driven to create a new one. That original DoA Joyce art was drawn in, like, July, anyway, so I think I’m allowed to hate it by now.
This is what being an artist is like. Constantly hating your older work. And the turnover rate is astounding!
Let’s spelunk through my hard drive.
Hey, remember Quake 2? Ahahahaha. So, like, people would build models for it so they could play as different folks in multiplayer. That was apparently easy enough, but easier even still was drawing up new skins for these models.
Here’s a Ruth skin I created in 1999 for someone else’s Rei Ayanami model.
She died a lot.
