For this round, I remember all of us falling in love with Weiss right away. This process can go back and forth for a bit honestly, it varies wildly. Especially with action scenes, it’s so important that our characters are clear and iconic at a glance. This allows all of us to start examining the silhouette, which is one of the most important things for character designs. These can vary from loose sketches to fairly fleshed-out ideas. The way she works, which is typical for a lot of concept artists, is to start out with really rough, broad ideas. Together we threw around ideas and inspirations (what shows we’ve been watching), talked about the locations the characters will be in (did I mention it’s cold?), and discussed new ideas we want to try (haircuts!).įrom there, Ein was off to the races. Team RWBY’s original looksīefore Volume 6 was even done with production, I hopped on a call with Ein, Patrick Rodriguez (Art Director), and Erin Winn (Lead Concept Artist). She and Monty Oum worked together to create the girls’ original looks, so it seemed fitting to ask her to continue the process. What’s the first step in creating new outfits? Well, for Team RWBY, we decided to go to Ein Lee, the original concept artist for most of the main characters in Volume 1. It’s cold out there! The Process of Creating New Outfits We thought it might look a little silly for our characters to get to one of the four major cities in Remnant and not think about buying something a little warmer. Secondly, and probably more importantly, Atlas and Mantle are cold. It allows us to grow creatively, inspire some awesome new cosplay and fanart (hopefully), and let us look back at the different eras of the show. I know everyone has their own favorite designs (I’ll personally never stop loving Ruby’s original outfit), but after three or so years with the same ones, it’s nice to change things up. Join me, if you will, as I walk through some of the steps that went into designing the new outfits in RWBY Volume 7! The new outfits for RWBY Volume 7 Why We Created New Outfits for RWBY Volume 7įirst things first: why new outfits? Well, there are a few reasons.

#Rwby volume 6 chapter 13 sneak peek update#
If you can believe it, it’s been three years since the RWBY core cast got an outfit swap, so we thought RWBY Volume 7 would be the perfect time to update their looks. Why hello there! I’m Kerry Shawcross, RWBY’s showrunner.
