Miles Edgeworth Sketches

✧Miles Edgeworth sketches✧

Today I was in the city for a few hours and spent about half that time time drawing in my sketchbook and this is the first page I did :D

For this page I decided to draw a bunch of Edgeworth's (and a cat as a warm up) because not only is he my favourite AA character (like 80% of the fanbase lol) but also, because I hate the anime trope of characters having the exact same hairstyle from childhood to adulthood! So I wanted to try drawing the three main era's of Miles with slightly different versions of his hairstyle while trying to keep the iconic parts.

(rest of commentary has minor spoilers for AA1-5)

I enjoy the hairstyle results as I think the shorter bangs for YA Miles makes him look more bratty which fits his fanon nickname and, I've seen a few of people draw Chiefworth with a ponytail and I love that concept so much cuz, not only does it look cool af but, it also has him tie in with Simon Blackquill's design a bit which I like for DD plot reasons. So I stole the design >:-)

I also changed some minor things about Chiefworth design that I personally disliked, such as making the gold buttons sliver (it matches his hair better and, distance his design away from his young design/Manfred which I prefer personally) and his glasses to be full rimed (as a glasses wearer I hate his canon glasses! that man probably gotta rub his lenses clean multiple times a day! Also the full rimed look matches his late Father :D).

Lastly, I played around with making him look more tired/aged as he got older, this does seem to be canonish as Bratworth looks more open eyed (at least his HD trilogy sprite does) and in DD Phoenix does think to himself about Chiefworth having stronger frown lines.

I think both adult Edgeworth and Chiefworth ended up look a bit older than his canon age but I don't mind that as the man is such a workaholic and, had nightmares for a good chunk of his life so I buy him ageing faster than average physically, the faces still don't look as nice as I hoped but hopefully drawing more Miles will help fix the jankyness I see but can't quite describe lol.

He did forget to shave

*sigh* looks like I've got a new hc. I mean I already hc Miles and Maya BFFs cuz they both like steel samurai so them being half siblings* would be funny cuz, he would have Maya call him a big brother and Franziska call him a little brother even though his sisters are same age...

Also him being related to Mia would probably make him cringe even more towards how he treated her in their first trial and, I find that concept funnier that I probably should lol.

*because I don't see Gregory Maya's father as that doesn't line up the best with the timeline, unless he was keeping his relationship with Misty hidden from his son and she was hidding her relationship from Mia but I don't like that idea

Who knew that if you mix greggory edgeworth with misty fey you get. . . . . Miles edgeworth (I love this theory so much )

Like seriously

they are pining

my brain went on a cursed tangent as I was walking today. Basically I was thinking about how I hc Miles Edgeworth as having a fairly deep voice and than, I remembered that keanu reeves has a fairy deep voice that is oddly accurate to my hc vocal range for Miles (though Miles in my mind sounds less brooding than the characters Keanu gets type casted for typically and more formal, if that makes sense).

Which lead to me thinking of how cursed it would be to have an Ace Attorney live action film that had keanu reeves play Miles Edgeworth. Could you imagine Keanu with clean shaven face and Miles silly grey anime boy hairstyle?

Send me your fandom hot take and I will say what I think about it!

I will try to answer with the following pattern:

Strongly agree | Agree | Neutral | Disagree | Strongly disagree

And will elaborate. At least will try.
