Been ages since I last updated this Tumblr blog. Why don’t we get back into it with a bit of RWBY art study? With the new animation rigs and the timeskip, Ruby’s undergone some changes. Here’s what I figured from repeatedly trying to learn the new style. Go forth, all you artists! If you’re trying to stick to the RWBY style in your fanart, I tell you this, and bid you good luck!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARBARA!

[mrninja3322]

RWBY Volume three’s got me on cray mode. First RWBY art I’ve done in sooo long.  Miles Luna has me feeling the feels. Warning: (Implied and Non-direct) Spoilers... ish.

Mate: Aren't you going to take notes for class? Me: Notes? Class? What? Just a quick doodle.

They made me pay the bill.

Fair, I guess... but they made me pay the WHOLE bill, including the rooms and the movies they watched. Thank goodness breakfast was complimentary. Screencaps courtesy of RWBY, RoosterTeeth LLC.

So… Okay. I’ve been really quiet, and not just here. I’ve hardly visited Tumblr in hell knows when. Nor have there been any updates in my DeviantArt. Why? Well, it’s a long story. So, a while back, VanCAF (Vancouver Comic Art Festival) happened. There, I met Luke McKay. The name ring a bell? Luke is the guy who did the Rooster Teeth Comics. Presently, he has his own comic line called ‘Balls 2 That’, which you can read at http://thebuttonmash.com/balls-2-that/.

So, I’m working on a 22-part/24-page ‘Balls 2 That’ adventure similar to Luke’s books’ print format. I’ve been learning a lot from Luke. He’s been giving me tips on trying to replicate his style better than before, and on top of that, storywriting and scriptwork! Along with all that, I met Enzo Santos. Enzo is the artist and writer of ‘Cheer Up Emo Kid’, you may have seen in various places on the interwebz. Read it at http://www.cheerupemokid.com/. Enzo’s a great guy.

So… this is going to be an interesting trek for me to travel. It’s a sprint race, a journey, a marathon in one.

I try to keep everyone updated with stuff on the personal account above. But for Balls 2 That fanstuff released right away, you can follow my Twitter https://twitter.com/MrNinja3322 Cheers.

Meeting the man behind the ACTUAL Rooster Teeth Comics! Ladies and Gents, Mr. Luke McKay! As a student in Vancouver... it's difficult to go to events like RTX, outside of where I live. Lucky for me, Luke was at VanCAF (Vancouver Comic Arts Festival) this past weekend. He currently has a running comic called "Balls 2 That". Please do check it out! Link: http://thebuttonmash.com/balls-2-that/ Luke is my inspiration for web comic art, and he's a great guy. Please follow and support his stuff!

A quick PSA

Please don’t use art without asking. It’s rude. It just takes a moment to ask. In the case of me, I’ll probably say yes to whatever it is, and support you. I encourage asking. It creates ties between artists and supporters and builds an audience-producer communication. Remember to credit properly, and I don’t mind not being credited sometimes, but whatever it is, don’t take credit for work you did not do. Remember that, and you’ll be golden. :)

Genderbent Neptune (RWBY fanart)

So... I did a Genderbent Neptune Vasilias a while back, as a request was made in my inbox. I had no idea that’d be one of the things that got the most attention from people, not in terms of notes (That’s still, and probably will always be, my GTA rapsheets), but in how people ask if they can use that drawing for blogs and fic profiles and they even ask me for more.  I mean, search up “Genderbent Neptune Vasilias” or “Neptune Vasilias Genderbend”, or something of the like, on Google images, it’s literally on the first page. (Well, actually, it’s the upload on my DeviantArt page.) Nothing really to say, but I was really surprised. If you got insight or something interesting philosophically on such art attention on a fanart blog, just write something up and shoot it at me... or if you just wanna talk, that’s cool, too.

[mrninja332-too]

Scanned, redrawns, and now in colour! A little different on the shading. I gave the solid sketch to a friend of mine. Sorry! :P

[mrninja3322]

My pencil shall not stand still! *Looks up at lecture* *Looks to classmate* I'm lost... What's going on?

[mrninja332-too]

LAZER TEAM!!!!!!!! Haven’t seen fanart around just yet, so, here’s my cartoon version of Zach from the movie, played by Michael “Ragequit” Vincent Jones.

DRAFT ARCHIVE: The Reign of Mad King Ryan                               Part One, The Rise of The Monster Within                               Chapter 7: Exilation as Edgar  Curious. Did you know that I’ve spent broken time over the span of almost two years trying to put together a trilogy for the Reign of Mad King Ryan as a written fiction short story, graphic novel, and an animated series? The project started with a lot of motion, but it had difficulty getting off, since I took so long to write it. I’ve completed PART ONE, am working on PART TWO, and await PART THREE upon completion of the second part. Well, enough jibberjabber, here’s the teaser chapter (the most exciting one without giving away the more epic climax in later chapters)… although, from the illustration of Chapter 7, you could tell what happens after Chapter 5. DRAFT ARCHIVE: The Reign of Mad King Ryan                               Part One, The Rise of The Monster Within                               Chapter 5: Infiltration (Teaser Chapter) Sorry about the formatting. Copy-paste got weird. Chapter 5 Infiltration :      The citizens gathered around the heartof Achievement City. Normally, gatherings would occur in secrecy, but there was no time to waste. Geoff was EDGAR’D.  

     “We need to save him!” Ray told everyone. Michael shifted uncomfortably on his spot. 

     “Yeah, okay. But how? Ryan’s not just gonna give him back when we ask for Geoff… no matter how nicely.” Michael said.

     “We’re not going to just walk in. Ryan stole Geoff from us. We’re going to steal him back. We need to infiltrate the compound.” Ray replied sternly. “Gavin and I’ll go through the back door. We are the only ones small and light enough to pass through the ventilation systems.” Gavin nodded in agreement. 

     “Michael, Jack, I need you two to take care of the guards and give us an escape route when we get out.”

     “Alright. You have the strength of my diamond sword.” Responded Michael.

     “And my Mark Nutt bow…” said Gavin.

     “And my iron axe.” agreed Jack. Ray smiled slyly at the impromptu reference. And there, the four citizens who dared to face The Mad King set off to their respective houses, preparing for the night that will come.      As the zombies and skeletons rose from the dark, the team reassembled outside what used to be Kung-Fu house. Where a humble mud hut with murals used to stand, now, there exists a fortress next to Geoff’s tall, ego-reflective, now barren, monolith. The team hid behind a step, near the sad lava pit. Gavin looked over his shoulder, at the sign with mild contempt, reminded of what a terrible use of the non-existent word, “Gubbin”. 

     Smack! Michael slapped Gavin on the back of the head to get him focused again. “Did you even hear a word what Ray just said?” Michael asked.

     “Uhhhh… wot?” Gavin shook the cobwebs out of his head. “Right. Totally. The plan… to get Geoff. We… uh… go in, and we get Geoff, and we get him out… right?”

     “Yes. That’s EXACTLY it.” Ray exasperatedly replied, full of sarcasm. “Just stick to me, and don’t fuck up.”

     “Like if ‘not fucking up’ is even actually possible with Gavin.” Michael muttered under his breath. Jack just stood aside, sharpening his shiny iron axe, trying his very best to ignore the bickering of what would be Team Lads. “Oh! Are we finally going to go now?” Jack suddenly acted up with mock surprise. 

     The team then split into two groups. Michael and Jack advanced up the front, pressing against each side of the fortress’ main gate. Gavin and Ray approached Geoff’s monolith to access The Vault, which King Ryan had expanded into for storage and EDGAR imprisonment purposes. Michael and Jack had come upon a slight problem. “What are those guards?” Michael whispered to Jack, whom was on the adjacent door side.“I think… no way. Minotaur-things?” Jack replied, forgetting to whisper, lost in shock. Apparently, King Ryan had decided to guard his new-found fortress with half-bull, half-man, full-on beast guards… and they just found out that our protagonists were trying to infiltrate the installation.“Oh, balls!” Michael exclaimed.

     “You mean, ‘Oh, bulls!’, Michael.” Jack taunted with a terrible pun.

     “Fuck off, Barbara.” Michael retorted as he nonchalantly drew his sword. 

     Meanwhile, X-Ray and Vav were still stuck at the door of Geoff’s house. No, it’s not broken. It’s just the damn button.

     “Okay… Gavin, you push the button, and I go in… got it? One, two-” Ray managed to say before being interrupted.

     “But I want to go in first!”, Gavin protested like a child.

     “Finnneeee….”  replied Ray, with a heavy emphasis on the ‘F’. Gavin squealed with glee as he approached the doorstep. 

     “On three, Gavin. One, Two…”“Three!” BAM! Gavin’s head just snapped back as the door swung open. He then quickly doubled over, face in his hands.“UGH! Muy Nouse! Duh dor het muy nouse!” Gavin blindly swung his head around as Ray facepalmed. How could he have not seen this ahead of time? It was technically impossible for Gavin’s giant nose to not hit the automatic door as it swung open… It happened before when he tried to ambush Geoff from his own house. Nothing stated that it wouldn’t happen again. And so, it did.

     “Come on, Vav. No time to waste now.” Ray sighed as he grabbed a nose-bleeding Gavin by the collar through the door, now stuck ajar.

     “Oh, jeeezus.” muttered Gavin as Ray struck the torch alight. Gavin evidently wasn’t prepared for what awaited as they entered.Not only was Geoff’s place abandoned, the giant room was either ransacked or some tornado ran through it. The bed was destroyed, the indoor swimming pool was drained, and personal effects were strewn around. Gavin walked up the beaten nightstand and looked down. An unframed photograph laid on the ground. Gavin picked it up and blew off the dust. That wasn’t enough, so he wiped it with the hem of his shirt. A light gasp left his lips.

     “Griffon and Millie!” Gavin shouted out at Ray. “Shite. We need to save them, too! Come on! We’ve got to stop wasting time.” and with that, he bolted over to the trapdoor and forced it open. He jumped down, and Ray quickly followed with a new sense of urgency. 

      “RAGH! Take that!” screamed Michael, as he took another swing at the guard. The minotaur deftly blocked Mogar’s attack, and countered with it’s own golden sword.

     “Oh, no, you don’t!” roared Jack, as he came to Michael’s aid, but he, too, was knocked aside. This isn’t looking very good for the front team.

      “Now what?” Ray sighed as he bumped into Gavin for the umpteenth time. “You have to stop stopping abruptly.”

     “Stop stopping? At this?” Gavin replied with indignation, as if this time it actually was something meaningful.

     “It’s dark. I can’t see it!” Ray argued back.

     “It’s… it’s blocked.” Gavin whimpered back.

     As Ray’s eyes squinted to focus in what was in front of them, he could see that, indeed, their way was blocked. “I didn’t bring a pickaxe. Did you?” asked Ray. 

     Gavin sighed.“It’s in Michael’s backpack.” Gavin said as his shoulders slumped.

     “Well, we better start punching.” Ray surrendered.

     “Right. And by ‘we’, you meant ‘me’.” Gavin accused.

     “Guilty as charged. Now start punching, Gavin.” 

     “We’re losing ground, Michael!” Jack shouted over to him, locked in battle with a guard.

     “Bullshit, Jack!” Michael shouted back with a smirk, slaying another minotaur. But as our heroes fight off the guards, more replace them. Eventually, they were getting worn down. 

     “Don’t think we can actually provide a way out for the extraction, Jack…” Michael huffed. His face was covered in cuts and blood spatters. Exhausted to the point that he had no ounce left in him to fight, Michael knelt down in the mud. A shadow overtook him. He looked up. 

     “MICHAEL!” Jack’s distant voice yelled. The monstrosity of a minotaur towered over Michael’s crouched figure.

     Jack and Michael only hoped in this short second that Ryan does take prisoners.  

     “There…” Gavin said as he wiped sweat off his brow. Ray pushed some of the cobblestone out of the way and peered inside. “EYAAAK!” screeched Gavin’s phone. Gavin quickly reached into his pocket and picked up the call.

     “Gavin. It’s Jack. We’re in trouble. We could use some help. Get your ass to the clocktower and snipe.”

     “Ray, I gotta go. Good luck getting the prisoners out.” Gavin turned to Ray after hanging up. He then darted off, headed for the stairwell. Ray had an odd feeling about this, but he just shrugged it off. He prepared the rope and took off the vent cover. He sighed, and then crawled in, prone. Ray tried his best to stay silent as he made his way through the narrow pipes. He finally, after a mind-numbing labyrinth, made it through to the EDGAR-ing compound.

     “Now… find Geoff.” Ray said to himself as he brushed the dust off himself. 

     Gavin made his way up the clocktower, running the stairs. Once he saw the night sky lit by the moonlight, he exhaled to breathe in the cold air. 

     BOOF! A blunt pain hits Gavin in the stomach. “Bollocks! Why is it always me who takes the physical beating?” Behind the bell, a shadow formed. “RYAN?!” 

     “It’s ‘Your Majesty’ to you, Gavin.” A deep voice replied. With a clatter, a cheap cellphone fell on the ground, before being kicked off the tower. “It’s the great part about having the same voice as one of your associates. I don’t need to pretend anything to lure you here.”

     “But… Have you seen your atrocities?!” Gavin questioned in outrage.

     “Atrocities? You’re kidding. I am the Mad King. I shall do whatever as I please.” Ryan responded. Gavin let out a cry of frustration before pulling the bow, aimed at Ryan’s chest. 

     “Get that out of here.” Ryan said, as he easily knocked the bow out of Gavin’s hand. The bow fired into the bell, producing a loud ‘GONG’ as it dropped down to what seemed like an abyss from the high vantage of the tower. 

     “MINIONS!” Ryan called out as some shadowy figures arose out of the dust. “Take him. Punish him with Decree 80.” The dark figures closed in on Gavin. “Kerry, you take Gavin to the treasoner room. I’ll see to him soon. The rest of you, find Ray. I know he’s here.”

     Gavin stared at the short figure that just nodded, in complete shock.

SUCCESS!

If I follow you here, I've now also followed you at my alternate blog, mrninja332-too.tumblr.com. Be sure to check it out sometime, and maybe help me get it off the ground. :) Cheers! (Well, it's empty right now...)

[mrninja3322]

Just like moving!

I am trying to follow almost 300 followers from this blog to my new, personal blog, MrNinja332-too. I promise I'll get you all.

[mrninja3322]

Bloggity blog blog blog.

Hey, followers. I'm probably going to start another blog (as a primary account). And as you may know, if you followed me on this blog, I'm following you with the same blog. But that's kinda got an unexpected issue to it. My (unfortunately primary) blog is a publication-type blog of my own RT fanart, so I never reblog your stuff (except that time with Monty), despite how much I want to. So, I'll make another blog, Personal and stuff, and I can do whatever the hell with it. If it's RT fanart I make, I'll still post here, and reblog from the new one. PLUS, I will get to reblog your stuff freely. (Also, you get to see my personal life and stuff, I guess.) I'll follow all my followers again. (So, hey, +1 follower, but it's still the same guy.) As I write this, I feel like I missed something foolishly, but oh, well. Expect to see me follow you soon!

[mrninja3322]

The passing of Monty Oum made me realize something. Read it through. It sounds like it sucks in the beginning (Because it kind of does.) No amount of money will bring him back. We can’t sacrifice things in our lives for him to return. Hell, we can’t trade ourselves to some almighty being for...

[mrninja3322]

I have a calendar problem.  2015, not 2105* This is NOT the first time I've messed this up. Monty, stop laughing at me. Srsly. (Yeah, no kidding... Living ninety more years does sound nice.)
