Beautiful from Ordinary Days
If Riku's canonically a Dream Eater, then it stands to reason he'd look like one in Monstropolis yeah?? (monster-Sora already looks like a Chirithy, notice)
Anyways some design notes
He's the same (or adjacent) species as Dean Hardscrabble from Monsters University-- though not a centipede taur for Reasons
(SquareEnix probably prefers consistent proportions across world specific models to make rigging easier, and therefore would not design him Like That)
His wings and elytra are at his waist since from my observation, they like to put things at waist length in Riku's designs. When folded flat against the thigh it looks like pockets.
He would use the lower wings mainly for gliding, to generate extra lift (given the length of his tail)
I'm debating moving the position of the Spirit sigil to his back, between his wings-- 1) that is consistent with its placement in DDD, plus 2) his wings would also contextualize it like a Nightmare
One thing I reaaaally want in KH4 is Riku stealth / search segments that draw on his fucking weird Dream Eater powers. Smelling darkness finally becomes a literal game mechanic
(I know the stealth part of Days sucked. I’m talking Metal Gear stealth, not Days stealth)
...can the lonely take the place of you?
A sleepless Elsa sings a power ballad alone in her room after her bedside portrait reminds her of the family "she" broke. Seems Sir Jorgenbjorgen is not just an excellent listener, but substitute dance partner as well.
I abhor the first page layout but, sorry, I can't be bothered to stare at it any longer.
A bonus scrapped page after the cut:
AU where Ruby works in a music store and hosts a local radio and Penny starts to come regularly mostly to see her (totally inspired from Life is Strange True Colors-)
Riku is so cool.
inhales ok
THIS is a mega folder containing literally everything rwby-related that is available right now on roosterteeth (+v9). rwby, fairytales, world of remnant, the grimm campaign, ice queendom (sub and dub), vtubing, all the behind-the-scenes stuff. everything.
plus soundtracks for every volume + IQ, and drm-free epubs.
i will add any additional rwby content released during the wind down period as it becomes available. V1-8 have an english subtitle track embedded in the files, V9 does not because it came from CR. IQ dub has english subtitles. and for the sake of completeness i pulled all the non-english subs available on CR for V1-9 as well, those are in there as loose .ass files for the time being.
whenever possible, buy physical media. learn how to strip drm out of digital content that you own and make it a habit to do so.
archive responsibly 👍
I’m right out here for you, just let me in
