Biography[edit]
Ruggels worked in the computer game industry and was a very experienced technical designer/illustrator, to the point of actually creating 1/1 gun mockups of the weapons illustrated on games he was working on.
He enjoyed WW2 re-enactment, guns, and tanks, was staunch American conservative, and he wore vintage suits to cons to bemuse and intimidate other attendees.
Fandom involvement[edit]
Ruggels inked female artist Terrie Smith's pencils on issues 3, 4, and part of 5 of Red Shetland for GraphXPress. His work has also appeared in the pages of Furrlough. He was one of the moderators on Yerf, and he was an occasional convention attendee. He was a GOH at the first C-ACE in 2002.
He helped and mentored various artists in the furry fandom, especially regarding traditional[1] and digital art, and 3D software (i.e. Blender, 3DStudio Max, et al).[2]
In addition to his online activities, Scott was a long-time member of Huzzah, Centaurs Gatherum and a participant artist in the Barr Wars, and would occasionally provide artwork for paper gaming publishers, such as R. Talsorian Games (Cyberpunk), Tri Tac Systems, and Hero Games.
The Demon in Mageworld was originally a custom player model for the game Quake 2[3] he created in 1998 and was modified and used with permission in the new game mod. He worked in-house at 3DO (Army Men).
