‘Archive: RUMBLER – Infighting’. Illustration by: RUMBLER

The archive for the ‘RUMBLER’ and ‘RAM’ illustrations has been established here on my ‘Main DA Site’ in order to place all of his works in one place.
The following was originally written when this picture was uploaded onto my DA Group Site: ‘CombativeWomen’. It is still apropos now:

This is a classic example of ‘Infighting’, and from the looks of that body blow it is signaling that those two are near the end of a hard fought boxing match.

This illustration was done by Robert A. Moody. When he started doing illustrations he combined his initials into 'RAM', and RAM was the name of the artist who did the artwork for a number of my illustrated novels. Years later he changed his style, and in the doing changed his name to: ‘RUMBLER’ (in caps). And this is a RUMBLER work.

Here is a bit of background on this project: Recently, when I saw a picture similar to this rendering, I contacted my good friend, after all these years, and said that he had created yet another magnificently powerful work. To which he replied that was his intent. I told him that the previous work of art was of such quality and power it would stand on its own as a masterwork. I also mentioned to him that a lot of viewers to my site want to get in touch with him and hire him to do commissions for them. Currently he’s rather busy, but Bob did a few original illustrations for me in his Rumbler style; and said put them up on my site, and let’s see what happens. So, here they are. One at a time. Then he’ll review the feedback and proceed from there. Consequently, to protect his privacy, I’m going to keep mum for the time being.

In his early years Robert went by the name of: RAM. Later, when he changed is illustrative style he went by: RUMBLER. And that is the name he used when he did this illustration. I’ll upload the rest of the Rumbler works during the next few weeks.
So I hope that you will enjoy this remarkable work. I have. And do.

Update: As I well know, both Robert and I are getting along in years. And age does take its toll, and with my good friend RAM, it is his eyes. They are bothering him a lot, so to preserve his vision he is not doing any more illustrations. Inked work is very eye intensive, and as such a great strain on the ‘Old Eyeballs’. As a result, these are the last of the illustrations by a master of that genre – R.A. Moody. As with my original Eric Stantons, my RAMs and RUMBLERs now belong to the ‘Archives’ – And to the ages.

‘Nuff said. Drew

Speaking of which, one of my favorite illustrated stories by RAM is "The Meanest Bitch in the Ring". I'd like to scan and upload it sometime. Would that be OK with Robert?

Bob has given me permission to upload anything of his on my DA Site, but I don't know if he's given permission to anyone else to do the same. You could send me some samples of his work and I may upload them here, and link it back to you. Drew.

Sure, that works for me. The whole thing is at [link] . I suspect DA won't like the prequel (shows erect intercourse, could censor out or omit that page) and there is some splayed labia, again could be fuzzed or blocked out, but otherwise, I really, really like this one. Hope you agree.

Also, contrast isn't the best so I could re-balance that, I guess.
