Request for , who asked for some Ozpin/Merlot, which is apparently called Old Chum!I'm not taking requests right now due to school/real life (and as a result limit my drawing time to whatever personal ideas come to mind), but I had enough downtime this morning to quickly whip something up for them. Older watchers know that I'm not usually one to turn down a request, after all (unless the subject matter is something I'm not comfortable drawing)! At the same time, I didn't want them waiting who knows how long since I've had to pour a lot of time into the current semester. So I went with a simplified doodle. I couldn't find a high quality reference for Merlot and resorted to Youtube gameplay.I wish I had more free time so I could make it non-simplified, but I hope you'll still enjoy it, MerlotLover.RWBY/Doctor Merlot/Ozpin © Rooster Teeth/Monty OumDrawing © MeSide note: I haven't seen a fandom with a ship name for every pairing under the sun since Pokémon X ). Also, I couldn't guesstimate how old Ozpin's previous body was cause RWBY uses the style where most of the adults don't look their age unless they're very clearly supposed to be on the older scale, like Merlot or the shopkeeper guy, and I don't trust the non-3D official art because it also uses this style. So I drew him under the assumption he's older than STRQ's estimated age. Probably not by too much cause he became the youngest person to become Beacon Academy's headmaster at some point in time. He was still headmaster (or at the very least a teacher) when STRQ was at school though. I'm gonna estimate 5-ish years older, give or take a few years. Maybe even 10 years older. Would it kill Rooster Teeth to just release the ages of the older RWBY characters rather than give ball-parked ages?Actually, now that I think about it, is Ozpin even his real name? Or is it just the name of the previous host and he gets everyone to call him that for convenience? Does Salem use that name to also not cause confusion among her faction? RWBY's lore sure is vague and complicated. :I
