#frwby

this fred moore sketch always reminded me of rwby :u

Any good faith i was attempting to go in with (on principle, and to have the most objective criticisms of the material rather than merely taking common FNDM criticisms as my own) has been lost by this discovery.

To me this is far more damning of his character than a shitty fanfic.

Finally able to post this after 2 months.

So, being a regular on the FRWBY art crew (Sketchy Huntsmen as we're called), they reached out for a little hype piece as we approach the next volume for Fixing RWBY (V7). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8yZFujRR2o

I did a simple group shot of the lead crew. My main goal being to show off the major redesigns for this fan project. So I was thinking of One Piece, specifically the Strawhat's group shot in the 13th anime opening.

This was my 1st time drawing most of these designs in this level of detail & refinement. So it was a neat way to get a better feel for them.

So, I’ve been avoiding watching the Fixing RWBY series for a long while under the assumption that it would skew how I write my own fic, and I wanted it to be mostly my own. I know how a lot of the fandom feels about FRWBY and while I don’t necessarily dislike it story-wise, I find myself getting uncomfortable with its foundation of “RWBY is awful and needs to be changed for the better”

That being said, I just now found out about a major change in FRWBY that the fandom I’ve seen has had a very overtly negative response to: Roman and Oz

To keep it brief, Celtic effectively made Roman an anti hero and Oz a villain…

The SSAU was also gonna do that 😓

I’ll write more on it in the near future, but my plan was to have Roman survive the fall of beacon by unlocking his semblance (one that he can’t turn off/would absolutely hate to have) and lay the seeds for Oz to be more of an overbearing “good must win at any cost” figure similar to Ironwood.

I’m not changing my plot because of this discovery, mind you. I’ve got my own reasons for going with the plot that I’ve outlined and I’m hoping when we get to that point it’ll feel like a satisfying development.

Because, damn it, if this was happening in canon, Ozpin would try to suppress the consciousness of a man like Roman as quickly as possible, only after learning about his way of thinking.
