RWBY Winter Tales

Witch of the Shadows

Blake walked along the path with her familiar, a shadow cat named Fergus. In the City of Vale, there were rumours of a Demon Knight that would appear during the blizzard and slay any unsuspecting travellers. She couldn't stand monsters like that and she agreed to hunt it down in exchange for a weekend at the Library of Forbidden Tomes. There was a treasure kept inside that was far more valubale than any gold in Remnant. Blake shivered violently as she stumbled in the snow.

Fergus; Are you sure you can handle yourself in this weather, my lady?

Blake: O-Of c-c-course. I-I-I'm perfectly f-f-fine.

For several more minutes, the two of them kept trudging along and all the while, the snow became thicker. Blake started to feel her feet soak with each step and it was making her uncomfortable. Unfortunately, she didn't know any fire spells to warm herself up. Fergus shook his head, disappointed in his mistress' lack of forsight.

Fergus: Tsk tsk tsk.

Blake: S-Shut up. A-Anyway, are we in the r-right area yet?

Fergus: We need to go further left. According the citizens of Vale, the Demon Knight's stronghold should be right over here. *runs*

Blake: What the- Fergus, get back here!

Blake tried to run after her familiar, but the deep snow was restricting her movement. She was struggling to keep up and the snowfall was becoming heavy, obscuring her vision. Suddenly, she tripped over what felt like a loose branch and ended up falling down a steep hill.

Blake: Agh!! Ow! *rubbing her head* Damn it! *turns around* Huh?

Blake was flabbergasted. In front of her was a small, decrepit stone house and on the windows were torn flags of a forked Imp. This couldn't possibly be the home of a demon, could it? Blake tried her best to stand up and, grabbing her wand, carefully walked inside.

It wasn't what she had expected at all. The inside of the house looked like a common living room. There was a table, a few broken chairs and a bookshelf. Sitting on a dusty bench was a young man stroking away at Fergus, who trilled delightfully. He had blonde hair, deep sapphire eyes and wore torn white tunic. His most distinguished feature, however, were his horns. He was a demon. Blake shook her head. She couldn't just attack him. Fergus didn't appear to be in any danger and he didn't look like he was a knight either.

Blake: Um, hello?

Demon boy: Huh? Oh. Hello there, witch. I didn't hear you come in. Why is it that you've come here?

Blake: Um... well, I... *lowers wand* I was sent to investigate the reports of a Demon Knight who was attacking unsuspecting travellers. I-I hate to ask, but do you know anything about it?

Demon boy: *shakes head* No, I don't. I was exiled from the Demon Knights 3 months ago.

Blake: Oh... I'm sorry.

Demon boy: It's okay. To be honest, they were a bunch of dicks anyway. By the way, is this your cait familiar?

Blake: Yeah, his name's Fergus. *snaps fingers* Return to me.

Fergus disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

Blake: Anyway, I know you're not a member of the Demon Knights anymore. But did you at least hear anything about the attacks?

Demon boy; Hmmm, if it was attacks on humans, I think I might know one in particular. His name is Cardin and he's... well, infamous is putting it lightly.

Blake: Why exactly is he infamous?

Demon boy: Put it this way, even among demons, he's quite brutal. No one escapes an encounter with him intact. He truly is a monster.

Blake: I see. *grips wand* I hate to ask, but would you help me in finding him?

Demon boy: Well, my combat skills are a little rusty. *stands up* But if you need my help, then I will gladly lend you my services.

Blake: Thank you, Mr...?

Jaune: Jaune Arc. *smiles*

Blake didn't know why, but seeing him smile made her heart flutter a little.

Jaune: Now then, *stands up* why don't you sit down and I'll get some dinner ready.

Blake: O-Oh no no no no, I couldn't possibly-

Jaune: Don't be silly, you just came in from the cold. A hot meal will do you some good. The kitchen's not perfect, but I can whip up something real nice. Do you like tuna?

Blake: YES! I mean- uh, tuna is good.

Jaune: Two tuna steaks with asparagus and mashed potatoes coming right up. *goes into the kitchen*

Blake's stomach grumbled as she heard the sound of pots, pans and the sizzling of the fish. Drool dripped from her mouth as the buttery scent touched her nose. She smiled excitedly. Maybe she had finally found the one.

The other day I drew an idea for "what if branded could transform", but really I just wanted to design a dragon. In reality I think you could take the idea way further.

What if you were to take the idea of branded being half laguz way more literally?? Basically I think it would be cool to have more of a half transformation resulting in what are basically monsters from myth and legend. Of course, I continue to have an interest in a story where the branded are the main characters and the heroes so, making them look like monsters but actually be good guys is fun to me!

The first and most obvious version of this idea would be the half human/half wolf (werewolf). I don't think they would lose themselves like werewolves, but they are the most iconic animal human hybrid design!

The next most obvious design would be half human/half bird (harpies). I think its important to really push the animal aspect and not just make them sexy sexy mostly human things. I think it would be fun to explore the design differences between hawk harpies, raven harpies, and heron harpies.

The cats are the hardest ones to design imo because there aren't that many human/cat hybrid monsters in mythology that aren't also mixed with even more animals. Its probably fine to just follow the example of the wolves and do were-cats though. Still cool!

For dragons I actually think there are a couple different directions you could go in. For this idea I basically went with your standard high fantasy/DnD demons and devils. There's only one half dragon in Tellius but this is another case where it would be really fun to design different looks for red, white or black half dragons since the ones we see in canon have slightly different builds and horn designs plus the different skin colors. (I would go with different skin colors like tieflings. The whole idea is for them to look like monsters and I think dragons should be scary!!)

The other idea I had would be for half dragons to be oni? Basically the same design sensibility but you would lose the wings. My reason for this idea is because oni are cool dragons in Tellius are kind of seen as this terrifying force of nature that could destroy everyone if they wanted to, which is kind of what oni are as well. I think it could work nicely.

#oni would be more strength based since dragons are implied to have more physical strength than other tribes #while demons would have super magical ability inspired by soren having super magical abilities #this is more of a character design exercise than fire emblem art really lol #tellius #fire emblem

Okay now I really want to see Demersa's hadal Bibby form 🤣 like how JRPG final bosses used to go through normal form > monster form > vaguely abstract angelic form

I'm not sure what it Would look like, but for the funsies, I cooked these thematically similar bibbys, cooked em up digimon style, fun results but I wandered off pretty fast and didn't quite nail the actual assignment in my mind, I'll have to try again later,

#mog art #ask x #monster #fantasy #digimon #anglerfish #tube worms #dragon #ghost #eldritch #worm #demon #whale fall #angel cw #another idea i had was an almost 2D shape akin to prismo but a scaly sprite size fishy humanoid. magic 'shadow' flounder of sorts #because you get Smooshed down there #and then of course there's all the Crustaceans to consider for more flavor #there's so many Options when your portfolio amounts to What's Cool and Creepy in the Sea with a pinch of Void #mysterious girl has an Essence that is difficult to properly Bibbify

My chronically malnourished warlock, Temerity - as a dumbass rogue comes through the wrong window.

Gosh I've missed her so.

#Temerity #Tiefling #Warlock #Orphans of Malar's throat #Chult #dungeons and dragons #my art #d&d ocs #character portrait #artistic nudity #D&D #dnd #One bowl of rice per fiscal year built this body #it's a hard knock life for us #now give this orphan magical powers and a deal with a demon what could go wrong #by far my skinniest character and drawing her after all this time made me realise a lot of things about anatomy and skeletal structure #I should draw her more often for a bit

Born from a Tiefling and an Air Genasi, she embodied a volcanic thunderstorm. She donned smoky hair, fiery limbs and vents all across the body. However, such fierceness had not bled into her personality, as Tephra was instead a caring sweetheart with a love for all things cute and frilly.

My hand slipped and I made a portrait of my tiefling/air genasi, Tephra! She's a magical girl and just baby all around. Her colors are way too much fun- I gotta finish her reference soon!

(Reblogs are always appreciated!)

made the mistake of clicking on the "for you" tab and saw the worst dragon age text post I have ever seen. It was like "man, I hope Bioware goes back to exploring [idea they thoroughly explored in all 3 games] like they did in Origins. I just know that they're just so obsessed with [idea that has been the main focus of everything from the very first cutscene of Origins]. I'm so sick of it."

This is what 10 years of not actually playing any of the games and playing them in your head is like. 10 years. I think some of you guys need a break. I know it did me some good.

#Dragon Age #I love when people pretend like Origins was some low fantasy game that had no gods or whatever #when the game is about saving the world from a mystical magical demon-god-dragon #'I want to go back to low fantasy like origins'#you mean the game where you talk to trees?#'I wish there was politics again like origins'#yeah exactly like I wish we could go to a fancy ball and uncover political schemes and then decide on who would rule the kingdom at the end #wish that a game other than origins had something like that

Urban Fantasy Polls!: Thanksgiving

If you wanna know my opinion I think hang out with werewolves would be the fun option. Imagine all the lil werewolves running around.

Honestly it's pretty iconic that Dany has people so bothered that they've decided to hate magic in a fantasy series just because she's so heavily associated with it

#daenerys targaryen #pro daenerys targaryen #asoiaf #it's so funny when they try and demonize dragons like the main threat isn't ice zombies 😭#also the fact that magic is weaker in the beginning of the series and is redkindled by Dany bringing the dragons back...#I know people don't care about the narrative but it makes no sense to have the story begin with magic being gone and to end the same way 😭#she's so powerful omg

One of my older paintings inspired by Mongolian, Turkic and Altaic mythology. Almost 8 years (!) ago that I made this one while doing a mentorship.

I worked many, many hours on this piece and gave myself plenty of room to make mistakes, something that was essential to my growth as an artists at the time. I am still trying to find the time to go back to study and learn, and see how to bring my skillset to the next level.

Cheers!
