Experimented a bit with a new way of detailing the tiles. Kinda like it? This particular piece took a hell of a lot of work. I’d love if you shared the vibes it’s giving off, for research purposes 💖
Team RWBY went missing after a mission to explore an abandoned toy factory. So team JNPR was sent to figure out what happened. Pyrrha and Nora where waiting outside ready to call for back up or rush in for a fight. While jaune and ren where inside trying to figure out what happened only for them to find team rwby weapons abandoned and to find a damaged poppy doll. And soon it is revealed to be ruby.
(What ya think? You can change it up if you want.)
"She's here! She's here~!" Children exclaim as a box slide onto the table in front of them.
In a whirl or computer-generated rose petals, a doll appears outside of its box. The doll features pale skin and bright, plastiglass eyes under a single shape of molded dark-colored plastic hair with red tips. Around her neck and flowing down her backside is a red cape. The cape from the nape down is fabric with magnetic disks and plastic frames to connect them. The doll then squeaks out a catchphrase.
"I'm Ruby Rose and I'm here to make everything better~!"
The girls at the table fly her through the air twirling the doll as, one-by-one, her cape is plucked apart until only the ring around her neck remains. The girl holding her then presses a button in the back of her head- STOP IT! IT HURTS! -and the magnetic pieces come back together behind her to reform her cape. Suddenly, the lights go out, and a bright light illuminates from the darkness, revealed to be Ruby as the overhead lights dim back to life. With a press of a button on top of her head- HELP ME! I DON'T WANT THIS! -the lights in her eyes turn off and the darkness returns to light.
"Ruby Rose! Now available at Playtime Co.~!"
The video cuts out once more to reveal a girl with bandages over her eyes, weeping in the corner. "Please... Let me die..." The video cuts back to normal
"What time is it...?"
"PLAYTIME~!"
PLAYTIME CO.

"Did you ever have a playtime doll growing up?"
"Nah." Nora answered, looking around the abandoned factory. "Me and Renny never had enough to buy one."
"Actually, I recall the toys being discontinued some years before we began living at the orphanage." Ren added in clarification. "Did any of you?"
"No, though my older sisters did say they remembered finding some old commercials in Mom and Dad's cartoons." Jaune dragged his finger along the wall. There was more than common dust coating a film over them. Some of it felt like a dried fluid of some kind, if the flaking was any indication. "Pyrrha?"
"No, it was before my time, too." She lifted a flashlight to the ceiling. The orange glow of sunset filtered through the skylight, particles dancing in the air above the large fuzzy toy statue in the center. "I do remember seeing an old poster in storage while working with one of my sponsors. When I asked about it, they said it was from before their time."
"So, does anyone else find it weird that we're sent to investigate a creepy, old toy factory after Team RWBY goes missing in the same place and NOBODY has heard of this company except for people as old as our parents?"
"Weird, yes." Jaune agreed, turning to Nora. "But weird doesn't stop us from doing our job. Our friends went missing, and it's our job to... to..." Jaune blinked. "Guys? Where did the statue go?"
"The statue? You mean the Fuzzy Wuzzy-" Nora turned to find only the stanchion and plaque remaining. Leaning down, she read the correct name. "Huggy Wuggy statue. You mean the Huggy Wuggy statue."
"Yes."
"Oh." Nora looked around. "I dunno."
"Okay, now I'm getting the creepy vibe more." Jaune shivered. "We need to find Team RWBY now!"
"Maybe he can help us!"
"He, who-" Jaune was suddenly lifted off the ground and thrown into a nearby wall. As he came out of his daze, gunfire roared into the open space. Standing up, he saw the living Huggy Wuggy statue screeching while attempting to grab Ren, who was too limber, and Pyrrha, who was too agile, and Nora, who unleashed a grenade into its face. As the shockwave rattled the room, Jaune noticed the crack in the floor as Nora approached the downed Huggy Wuggy. "NORA, WAIT!"
"KA-BOOP-!"
Nora shouted as Magnhild slammed down onto the living statue, shattering the stone floor beneath them and sending them all into the black abyss below. Jaune couldn't see where his friends went, but he was more focused on surviving his own descent. Dodging pipes, poorly, and reaching for stable ground, also poorly, eventually ended with him landing on concrete. His aura protected him, but healing magic of the soul did not equate in invulnerability to pain. The world was dark on landing, but it remained dark when he awoke.
"Hello?" Jaune heard a voice, soft and familiar, call out to him. Looking around, he found beams of light piercing the dark world he found himself in. Crawling towards it, the blinding beams did as described and forced a hand to cover his eyes. "Can you hear me?"
"Yeah..." He groaned. "I can hear you."
"Jaune?!" The lights shook as they came closer. Turning on his scroll, he found a doll with plastic hair and plastiglass eyes staring up at him, red pooling beneath until streaming out in tears. "Jaune... You're... You're here..."
I’ve been editing it on and off all the way back from the end of September. Slowed down in October because I wanted to spend weekends helping my folks decorate their house for Halloween (bit of a family tradition), and I got into the great story that is Dispatch around the end of the month. Figured I’d finish drawing early in November, but then I had a leak in my ceiling I had to fix, some not so great water damage. Then I was involved in a car accident and that was a whole thing to get sorted out. Fortunately, no serious injuries and I got a new car without too much difficulty. But then my phone died, too. These did not lead to a great week. Suffice it to say, I was derailed from working on this for a while.
Had the idea for the art while I was watching Bleach, seeing Rukia’s drawings of Chappy (and Ichigo’s frequently unimpressed expression) had me thinking of Weiss’s own not so great drawing of Sun. Weiss places a lot of importance on Pumpkin Pete’s Marshmallow Flakes, which makes me think she might also be a Pumpkin Pete fan. And Pumpkin Pete makes such an easy stand-in for Rukia’s Chappy/bunny drawings. So, I more or less drew up Weiss as Rukia in a night. The folks over on the White Knight server and I had a good bit of fun making edits to put in Weiss’s little artbook. Couple weeks later, I came back to draw Jaune. I’m really quite proud of how they both turned out. Then it was just a matter of drawing up the Rusted Pete and Crownless Pete for Weiss’s drawing, which I may have drawn with more detail than originally intended. But I’m not complaining!
Simple and straightforward designs and colors, but layered to add a little complexity. That style works very well, too. And I could totally see Weiss hyped over a drawing she made and wanting to show it off.
I’m very happy with all this, and I hope you all enjoy as well! In fact, I encourage folks to make edits for Weiss’s drawing and have fun with it. Here’s to a little White Knight brightening everyone's day, I hope you all have a great one!
My attempt at drawing "neil wang" the earth guy. With small hints of jojo in it. Neil after lots of practice finally got the spin down. As the glow of energy shines over his hand, body, and face.
brief smiled as he ran out of the bakery, "yes I got the last one!" He said happily holding up the neo Palatine ice cream cake. It was first come first serve and he waited in line for every. But he did it! He got the last cake.
He opened the box and sppon in hand he was about to take the first bite until he heard a familiar voice yelling from the bakery. A certain goth angel obsessed with sweets.
"What the fuck do you mean you ran out!?" Stocking demanded, holding the cashier by thier cloths. "You better be fucking me with or else!" Stocking looked like she was ready to blow a gasket.
"Im not!! im not!!" The cashier yelled as they soon pointed to the left outside the shop. "That guy with the orange hair got the last one!" Briefs could be seen the cake in his hand, spoon in another mouth open about to take the first bite.
Stocking turned to where they where pointing, and saw her target. "Geek boy!" Stocking cried out, throwing the cashier away and stomping over to the red head. "Take one bit of that cake and I will slice you to ribbons!"
"Umm...hi stocking...you also hear about the neo platinum ice cream cakes?" Breif asked trying to be nice. He had an idea of what was about to happen but hopped his ears where lying to him. "Did you already eat yours?" He said taking a step back away from stocking.
"No. In fact, you took the last one." Stocking said. She then got in his face. "So I'll make this clear-Give me the cake, or I'll shove my sword down your throat. I haven't had anything sweet today, so I'm not in the mood." Stocking warned.
"What!? But I waited in line for so long!...wait what where you doing? I would have thought you would have been the first in line to get this new item to eat?" Breifs asked stocking a little scared but confused.
