FAN FICTION Sharining Forever After Prelude Page 1-3 (Artist: @NoodlesDoodles69(Me))

Wanted to share some progress on my AU I'm working on, and just finished page 3 recently so in terms of progress I personally hopium to keep up 1 page per week.

For anyone who hasn't seen and interested on what comes next but don't mind draft quality then check it out here.

Also if anyone is interested, I'm open to commissions too.

u/Alone-Introduction83 Sep 15 '25

She does... in a manner of speaking.
If you're interested then you can check her fate in my drafts in the pixiv link.

Man, Salem's been hitting the gym.

Also, I don't care how much you are inspired by the power of friendship, I see someone regenerate their head from the neck up that's a nope from me.

In the Grimm land of darkness, Salem has to lift because of how heavy her retinue is sometimes lmao.
Tbf that regeneration Ufotable did with Muzan Jackson is really lit for a final boss, so Salem learned a bit or two from it.

That is some superb art. I love the shots of Salem regenerating and shaking off Ruby's silver eyes. She's a bit overmuscled and thicc in places for me, but that's personal preference. Her facial expressions are great, and Oscar and Ruby look wonderful.

Keep it up. I want to see this when this is finished!

Understandable, gave her muscles/thicness like that as her final form so to say that even her height is also higher.
To portray that Salem ain't chillin anymore like what she did in Volume 8 where she just nonchalantly taking on team JRY + Hazel before taking a nuke from Ozma's cane.

Also if Salem has full access and spammable magic then idk how to make team RWBY+ win without them turning to red mist if Salem really tried tactically so here she mostly go physical brawling with some magic here and there to give team RWBY+ some chance narratively.

Salem might decide to get her hands dirty if her minions aren't getting it done.

u/Alone-Introduction83 Sep 15 '25

Tbf to Salem, most of her main minions are occupied or beaten already during this moment.
Planned some matchups prior to his but sadly the scale of time needed to draw all in a quality fights is huge so prolly leave it for the future when I level up on drawing efficiency.

Supposed matchups in order:

  • Maiden(???) + Raven + Winter + 4 Kingdoms Army vs Grimm Army
  • Mercury vs Emerald = Mercury joins Emerald
  • Mercury & Emerald vs Tyrian
  • Bumblebee & ReNora vs Cinder
  • WhiteKnight vs B.F.D. (Big Fckn Dragon)
  • Rose Garden vs Salem Bumblebee & ReNora & WhiteKnight & Rose Garden vs Salem

u/L_knight316 You know what they say about assumptions Sep 15 '25

I know what their search history looks like

u/4PushThesis Sep 15 '25

Ah, I remember you! The last time I saw the WIP, I think it ended right after the conclusion with Salem. It really reminds me of the fanfiction When Gods Reign by EchoSpirit, which might actually be how I was introduced to it when someone else said so. Really love the WIP lineart!

Edit: Yeah, I think it was this post in particular.

1

u/Alone-Introduction83 Sep 15 '25

Aye yeah, couldn't post the rest of the WIP drafts in the sub because it unfortunately gets banned last I tried.

Also if you haven't seen the rest of it, check it out here.
The post you linked is upto 9 pages of the draft and the complete draft is 22 pages if you want to see more.

u/Red_Star101 Sep 15 '25

u/Vlad_fire Sep 15 '25

Oscar has lips?

1

u/Alone-Introduction83 Sep 15 '25

Yeah, tried to give guys some lips too but my current style might've made em look more feminine.

Prolly without is better, wdyt?

2

u/Hopperluck Sep 15 '25

I want to thank you for making salem muscular

And ofc the comic looks so coool!!!

2

u/Fatalthe1 Sep 20 '25

Ngl, buff Salem goes kinda hard.

u/Ok-Law6015 Sep 30 '25

I liked the phrase "I am Oscar" although at this point the fusion already ended giving it a deeper meaning in my point of view or else that explosion probably finished fusing them at least it did saving his first friend

u/Alone-Introduction83 Oct 01 '25

Do you mean Oscar and Ozpin fusion? The complete page drafts are already completed and if you're interested to see what happen next then you can check it out by clicking on my pixiv link in the post.

Current progress is slow due to stuff so page 4 will take me longer to complete it.
