Anyone thinking of cosplaying from RWBY?
I'm thinking of doing Weiss, but finding lace like hers and boots are proving to be a real pain in the ass. On the bright side, I'm kind of pumped to try and make myrtenaster, since this is the first time I'll be attempting to make something light up ohboy

No, but I enjoy their designs.

The first episode was disappointing.

>> No.7001265

BR have weeby designs(b's would have been better if the thing was an actual dress or jacket instead of some tailcoated top thing. r should have gotten rid of the "totz lolita" hottopic vibe from the look)
Y's is the most interesting
W is ok. but there is no need for her outfit to have both red(jacket lining) and black. It bothers me more than it should
but that production value and writing is just terrible. Let's not even talk about the voice work.

>Anyone thinking of cosplaying from RWBY?
Already completed and debuted my Blake cosplay at RoosterTeeth Expo earlier in the month. It was a pretty big hit and great to meet other RWBY cosplayers there.

I'm really hoping the episodes get better over time though. The preview videos for each respective girl were good, and then when the episode was premiered at RTX, everyone was kinda like disappointed because it seemed like it would be a bang from the beginning. I'm not losing hope though, but so far the other girls all seem like catty bitches except for Ruby.

Also sorta related but not. Is there anyone else out there then the few I've talked to that also hate pronouncing "RWBY" as "Ruby/Rhoo-bee"? I know it's supposed to be said that way, but I prefer to just say each word rather than say out the acronym. I dunno, it just makes me feel like "lol it's all about Ruby Rose" (even though so far the first two episodes show it is), when I feel like it's kinda revolving the main four girls, not just R.

One thing that bothers me is that you added gradient in the top of the dress where there isn't any, it's supposed to be shadows not color. Also the blues are way too dark.

I went for artwork version where its more blue/less white and yeah, I admit I made it a bit too blue (especially the jacket) but Im happy with it otherwise. Also, in the high res references I was given, her top did have a slight gradient. I also made it more blue so the jacket wouldnt stand out as much. Tldr; color is too bright may remake later but Rooster Teeth loved it so who cur

I think the animation is solid for the episodes. The action sequences are pretty dang neat. At first I was iffy about the voices but they grew on me etc etc it's hard to form an impression when it's only been a few episodes.

>> No.7002713

First two episodes did not leave a good impression at all. Choppy animations, terrible voice acting, typical shounen hogwart plot, unlikable characters, etc. If this doesn't get better within half-point of season, I think RWBY's better off DEAD.

I'm planning on cosplaying Yang for Katsucon, but I was kind of disappointed in the most recent episode. The pacing was horrible. I love Yang's design and I fit her the best, but I'm afraid she's the one that's going to be cosplayed the most, so I'm not that excited about making it anymore. I generally avoid making costumes you're likely to see everywhere. It doesn't help that I posted about making Yang and two days later a friend announced she was as well and started working on it already. I'll still probably end up making it if I like the rest of the series, regardless, but I'm just kind of bummed even though I know it's dumb of me.

I honestly have no idea how or why or its so popular, and why everyones rushing to cosplay it. Reds trailer was great, but they got progressively worse until the mess that was yellows. First episode was underwhelming. Glad I jumped off that bandwagon when I did.

I was thinking of cosplaying Adam from Blake's preview. Now I'm kind of glad I decided to wait for the actual series to come out. It doesn't seem like RWBY its going to involve Adam till much later, so I'm relatively bummed.

I don't like vomit boy. So unless the green guy in the Op ends up being interesting... I'm probably not going to cosplay RWBY.

My god I hope that this "series" flounders about in it's godawful debut episodes and gets killed off early.

I don't want to insult the actual people who have cosplayed it, all the photos posted in this thread look nice, but oh my god. Get out while you can, this whole damn thing is an embarrassing mess.

The previews were actually incredibly well-done. The problem is that they hired shit-tier nobody VAs who even the amateur VA community had never heard of, and Monty had the actual episodes ghosted by other animators; he only gave input on the final product and 'directed.'

And yeah, none of the characters are likable at all, and there's so much weeaboo shit it's not funny.

Animation-wise, this is proof that if you want something done right, you oughta do it yourself. I'd be embarrassed to put my name on this if I were Monty.

When Red first debuted, I fell in love with her. After Dead Fantasy had been dead for so long, I was happy to see Monty making something.

The other girls are terrible. But Yang - man, I'm starting to like her more and more. But the series itself?

God. I don't even know what to say about it. Like most people, I guess I feel really disappointed. I was expexting so much. . . But we get a school drama.

I'll still go for a Yang, because fuck, she's way cooler than her sister!

Of course no one knew who they were in the amateur VA community; most of the voice work was done by people who happened to work at Roosterteeth when they were looking for voice actors for this show.

See that's what confuses me. RVB has some solid voice acting work and with how popular the company is they could have just hired a few outside VAs for their project like Rinachan or the Skullgirl people for some cheap talent that don't suck ass

I think it may have potential. It's hard to judge the writing when it's so early, but the voice acting isn't THAT bad. Not great, but not vomit-inducing. As far as character designs go, I like Weiss and Yang. Ruby is... Kind of dumb looking, but what 15 year old geek-type isn't?
I would like to cosplay a character later on if it blossoms into a decent show.
