Here we go! I’ve had the wonderful privilege to work with my bestie Louie aka @imnotgayyelling on this years Bumbleby Big Bang! I started working on this story and joining the BBB server back in May and it’s had me very busy @bumblebybigbang
The events of this day have been a shock for everyone but I urge everyone to not give up yet!
This art was commissioned for everyone who has worked to make RWBY an inclusive and supportive community (especially for @citadelofmythoughts), even when it has not been easy. The news from earlier this day has me shaken. I cannot even begin to imagine how everyone with CRWBY is feeling. And everyone else at RT who has poured their hearts into creating this community, even when the upper management has been so poor. RWBY has changed my life and I am so grateful for this show, for CRWBY, and for everyone in this community who have embraced what RWBY quintessentially represents. I hope that RWBY and its team find a new home soon! Regardless of what happens, in the end, I will be standing here. I have no plans on leaving this fandom now.
But I have rambled enough. Today has been a chilling day, but we have people to support us. I wanted this piece to be about support, and I am so happy with how it turned out! I thank @ahn1zos for their incredible work putting this together!
My submission for this year's @bumblebybigbang! I really wanted to challenge myself here with a pose I wasn't that familiar with, especially with the interlocking hands, which was certainly a challenge for me. I also challenged myself with the lighting. I don't do that many pieces with this kind of dynamic lighting. I definitely need the practice.
This is a companion piece to @artfulstar wonderful fic Timeless. I wanted to capture a scene from the volume 5 chapter that really stuck with me. You can read the fic here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52446579
And make sure to check out @evedity pieces that they also did for the fic! https://www.tumblr.com/evedity/737456574383177728/timeless
I absolutely need RWBY Vol. 10 to be green-lighted because I really want to witness Cinder's batshit insane reaction to seeing Ruby and her team alive.
thinking once again about how Ruby's coolest strength has always been outside of the box thinking and cleverness. like at the fall of beacon when she rode a rocket propelled locker! they had been there since the first volume!! how long had she been thinking about doing that? and then she used the recoil from her weapon's bullets to slow her fall like a pogo stick!! that was awesome!!! and while facing the leviathan when she used the lamp's time-pausing side effect to her advantage!! and everything with her and the plan they made for ambrosius with saving penny and evacuating everyone!!! she is So Clever!!! she sees the rules set up in her fantasy world and pushes them to their limits! and it is SO fun to watch
do you ever watch a show from when you are 12 years old, grow up seeing the main protagonist as your role model and then watch them grow up in front of you while you're still trying to figure out how to be an adult.
watching them and realising that at their lowest point this was just like it was for you too and seeing them actually get through it.
Volume 9 of RWBY absolutely wrecked me with Ruby's character arc...
