We'd like to do a tour, so if you have a shop in Italy and would like us to drop by let us know!

It's time again to send an update and let you know what's going on with Rude Dude Productions!
 
Once again we have a painting starting at only $250!  Check it out below.

Nexus: Origin shipped to Diamond yesterday so that will be in stores next Wednesday -- Jim Hanley's Universe in NYC should have it by Monday.  If you haven't seen the comparison yet, scroll down to the Origin section and click on the link for Comic Space.

Draw Nexus: Tips and Techniques will be shipping in a few weeks.  The limited edition will be in stores next week Wednesday and the regular edition will come later.
 
 
FREE RETAILER SHIPPING is once again offered for all orders placed within the US.  Simply put your choice of retailer in the SHIP TO address then choose FREE SHIPPING TO RETAILER during checkout.  NOTE: Because our checkout is far from perfect, you have to initally choose "ship to a different address".
 
FREE SHIPPING: ORDERS OVER $50  is once again in effect for the month of December.  See coupon below.  This DOES include overseas shipping, but excludes the Nexus Archives because of the weight (overseas shipping is $36 for these)
 
Nexus 101 is finally on presale once again.  Steve is down to just 2 painted pages left and the books should be out on time!  We're aiming for Early January.  Waiting for the trade paperback?  You're in for a long wait.  It will be out, eventually, but it's not currently on the schedule for 2008.

Draw Nexus Tips and Techniques DRAW NEXUS: TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

For the first time ever, Steve Rude shares his vast collection of model sheet drawings from the Nexus animated promo.  Along with featuring model sheets of the entire Nexus cast, you'll see how Rude approaches Figure Construction, drawing the human (and non-human) head, as well as hardware like space ships and futuristic interiors.  Each drawing has Rude's trademark simplicity of explanation, that will benefit professionals as well as the newest of beginners.  Also included is a special section featuring the Nexus Fundraiser drawings that Steve did back in 2002.  Some of the requests were pretty wacky, so prepare for the unexpected in this special bonus section of our tips and techniques volume of How to Draw Nexus!

 

Spiral bound for easy drawing board access.  Clear vinyl cover and vinyl back cover.

Nexus 101 Preview NEXUS 101 ON PRESALE NOW

Nexus 101: "The Past Swung Up and Hit Me Like a Rake" will leave you breathless.  Can it really be Kreed, the most lethal Quatro of all time?  But how?  He killed himself!  The answer will blow your mind.  The situation with the Elvonics is at boiling point.  Elvon Supreme leads the greatest fleet ever launched on Ylum.  Nexus travels to Earth to address the United Planets.  His speech is not well received.  Ylum will be embargoed, if it survives Elvon's assault force.  Old friends return, and old enemies, in the most shocking climax of any comic this year.
