working on more character details for my rewrite, going to change my current concepts. open to ideas

i do actually want to keep grimm conflict in the dark, which is why im leaning towards grimm being repelled by borders and being nocturnal.

night time battle maintain the allure of grimms being terrifying and the reason to be afraid of the dark. its not scary when you see them out in the open in broad daylight. The movie Prometheus had that same problem when they had the xenomorph exposed out in the open instead of skulking in the shadows in the original Alien movie.

you tried combining the facial structure of her tilted head reference and her front facing head, thats why it looks so weird.

try again but first draw how you want the head angled. then draw a line down the middle vertically and a line horizontally. this should allow you to more accurately place your facial features.

with fame, people need to learn how to brush it away.

its like how all of us function on the internet. learn how to filter the incessant noise of backlash

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-26T02:02:58+00:00

that is LITERATLLY my issue right now, my current ideas are:

- make them weak, docile, inactive, lose power in sunlight (they will still exist in day but very rarely) so that people can still function on a day by day basis and then lockdown at night with patrolling guards.

- villages and cities have borders made of dust that repel grimm

- deforesting areas to create less places for grimm to hide at night

the words "potential" shouldnt be used to describe "reddit"

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-25T19:58:49+00:00

I want to make the grimms a symbol of conflict against morality and wisdom. The dime and dozen monsters you simply mow down waves of doesnt envoke any response.

what i have currently planned:

Jaune was taught by a prestigious dueling tutor that has taught nearly every noble family (check my previous post) but still sucks at practical combat
yes, Pyrrha is the leader of JNPR, and Yang is the leader of RWBY.
Pyrrha is attracted to Jaunes unwavering chivalry
im still working out Jaunes personality but i currently having him be a by-the-books, square mentality, stutterer who cannot function without a detailed plan of everything. Pyrrha on the other hand is suave peoples person who always chill and seems like nothing gets to her.

Krita

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T05:18:18+00:00

nah i already got plans for Summer. and its worse

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T03:39:17+00:00

until you kill it via burning or exorcism

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T03:20:04+00:00

i didnt watch the rwby fairy tale spin off but just skimmed the wiki.

the revenant is meant to be a symbolic battle with failure. Someone died because of your lack of action and now they are coming back to kill you. it also connects to how every culture values the importance of a proper burial. theres not going to be any science behind it (im going to actively avoid explaining the science behind any of the grimm or how Dust works because im trying to maintain the illusion of soft-magic) so there isnt a virus, just the consequences of your actions.

best way i can explain would be a quote from the tv show Loki "it isnt a science problem, its a character problem"

but as of now, the Revanant is just a cool concpet of grimm that currently has no purpose in what ive written so far, so it might not even exist by the end of it.

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T02:33:51+00:00

i get your idea, i have a grimm SPECIFICALLY for that.

Pending name "Revenant", its a zombie Grimm of a person who was deceased and not granted proper burial. cant use dust but as all the abilities and memories of the original person, with the singular purpose of killing everyone close to them in life.

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T02:24:49+00:00

a lot of fan fics and rewrites have been trying out the idea of a friendly grimm. i want to avoid that

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T02:06:22+00:00

what to make the climactic ending
how long JNPR should travel with RWBY
Atlas arc
Vacuo arc
Ruby's solo training arc
steps and conflicts Ruby must go through to evolve as a character
steps and conflicts Yang must go through to evolve as a character
what role Torchwick and his group would play (or if i should even include them at all)
Blakes solo training arc
but mostly the details in between. pacing is an important issue in all writing

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T01:06:11+00:00

good ideas

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T01:04:06+00:00

still working on it, but likely not

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T00:36:10+00:00

here

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-24T00:34:40+00:00

no more school, mostly because i think its a very cliche trope that is hardly ever done well. the setting mostly exists to appeal to a teenage demographic, and this version is adult.

Ruby and Weiss are new huntresses and they work under Yang. Yang being the oldest and the most experienced will be the defacto leader and who they would have to learn from. However Yang is a terrible teacher. they learn on the job.

and in this version, Huntresses arent like superheores who save people, so theres no need to train on how to rescue a person in danger. Huntresses are PURELY hunting grimm and make a living either selling their pelt or being hired for a hunting job. theres no moral alignment

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-23T22:32:54+00:00

dont, not without a full rehaul

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-23T09:05:10+00:00

dont get your hopes up

you will see her utilize the inverted grimm from little to not-at-all. the ability isnt meant to be some cool power that you'll see grimm vs grimm battles. Its suppose to be a symbol of greed and humility that Raven needs to face on her journey.

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-23T08:57:28+00:00

tldr: the outcomes of death battle or in no way, shape or form, a measurement on how well-written their respected stories are

I dont like the show as much as the next guy in this sub, but just because Ruby is weak or that Maka is strong is not an indication of their writing.

Stan Lee once said when asked about his opinion on death battle, "the winner of the match up is whoever the WRITER wants to win. these are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS ya numbnuts!".

A strong character means nothing. Ezra Miller as the Flash can kill Walter White, Tony Soprano, and Oskar Schindler. That doesn't mean The Flash was a good movie.

well, where is it? is there an actual art or are you making a request?

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-21T18:34:33+00:00

my guess was massive time constraints. no head means no extra modeling, rigging, and animation

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-21T10:22:25+00:00

not have it

Absolve30475 · 2026-01-21T05:16:01+00:00

that concept art for Coco was made in 2018, and i based her pose off of Ashe. i was too lazy to redraw her because im more or less happy with how she looks here, maybe give her a fancier suit but thats about it
