Cartoonish, digital art of Ace Attorney characters gathered around a summer barbecue. They're cut off about halfway down. From left to right stands Bruce Goodman, Ema Skye, Lana Skye, Angel Starr, Jake Marshall and Neil Marshall (a couple of years before the SL-9 Incident).

The shading is a warm green, and the barbecue gives off a yellow glow. The background shows a lawn with roughly painted trees and a hedge. The foreground shows the edge of a table with a burger and wine glass, slightly blurred.

Bruce and Neil are the closest to the foreground, at the far left and right respectively. Bruce smiles slightly nervously towards Ema, holding a mustard bottle. Neil grins, spatula in hand, looking over in Ema's direction. Bruce wears a polo shirt and cap; Neil wears a vest.

The rest stand behind the grill. Ema looks mischievously excited as she squeezes ketchup onto an already overloaded hot dog. She has temporary star tattoos, braces, and a t-shirt reading, 'I told a chemistry joke...there was no reaction'. Lana looks amused beside her, holding a can of drink, dressed in a vest and jeans.

Angel and Jake stand close and gaze at each other with flirtatious smiles. Angel, wearing a blue summer dress, strokes a finger lightly against Jake's chin. Jake wears jeans and a bandana, with a cowboy's waistcoat over his bare chest. He touches a burger on the grill with his spatula, which gives off smoke in a cartoonish heart shape.

My full piece, drawn last June, for the @seasonsoflaw calendar project! This was so much fun to work on 💛

Cartoonish digital art featuring characters from 'Ace Attorney'— Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth and Larry Butz— as children. The piece is based on their class trial as 9-year-olds. There's a gradient overlay, cool cel shading, and warm lighting. The background is divided into 3 uneven segments using white stripes, with 3 more stripes radiating from Miles' pointed finger comic-book style.

In the middle stands Miles. He points confidently to his left. His right hand is planted on his school desk, which spans across the bottom of the piece. He's shouting, serious and determined. One of his front teeth is missing, and he's dressed in a red blazer with yellow cuffs and a blue bow tie. A name label is safety-pinned to his blazer, written in Hiragana, with Signal Samurai stickers on it. On the desk sits a pencil and the edge of a paper sheet. It has partially-visible crayon drawings: half a defence attorney badge, scales of justice, and a pair of legs.

Above Miles' outstretched arm is a much smaller drawing of Phoenix, coloured in blues and yellows. It shows him from behind, stood crying at his desk. The background segment for this area has a blue overlay, with a very faint in-game screenshot where other students accuse Phoenix.

To the right, positioned under Miles' arm, is Phoenix, drawn to a larger scale and cut off around the chest. He's crying messily, face screwed-up. His left hand is raised in a fist to partially cover his left eye. He wears a blue t-shirt with red and yellow detailing. In the gaps between him and Miles are red coins, spilling from an empty bag for lunch money. This background segment has a yellow overlay, with more coin shapes barely visible.

To the left of Miles is a relatively smaller drawing of Larry. He grins lazily, brows raised and face freckled. He's missing a bottom tooth. His right arm is lifted as he holds his index finger under his nose; the other drapes over the back of his chair. He's swinging backwards with his knees lifted, a plaster on the left one. He wears a yellow vest, red sweatbands, and blue shorts. Suspended above his head are the trio's Signal Samurai keychains, as seen in the anime adaptation. From left to right is Miles' red charm, Larry's yellow, and Phoenix's blue. The background segment has a red overlay, with a faint anime screenshot of the Signal Samurai characters.

class trial, 2001

[2024 edit: just to clarify, the lines near edgeworth's pointed finger were supposed to mimic those specific, dramatic backgrounds in superhero comic panels. however, looking back now, I'm conscious that they could be seen as somewhat resembling the radiating rays of the rising sun flag. and I'm making this connection because I recently discovered that this symbolism has been used in some official capcom artwork (for dgs, not the main trilogy, but the point still stands, considering I've played both). I wanted to make it clear that it wasn't my aim to represent that imagery in this piece, even if it has been in some of the artwork I've seen. I'm always striving to be more critical of my past art choices, and as such, I want to be more careful in the future. I hope all is understandable and clear!]

A scribbly digital sketch done in black lines, with rough colouring and a cool overlay. It shows 2 busts. Apollo Justice is in front, frowning nervously as he sweats and looks at something over his shoulder. Kristoph stands behind him, looking composed and almost bored, smiling subtly towards the viewer.

A redraw of the Domino Effect meme with a frowning Kristoph. The smallest domino reads 'Roasting someone's bald head', and the biggest reads 'A murder charge'.

A traditional sketch of Kristoph, done in mechanical pencil. It's based on an angry sprite, where he tilts his head and shows a barely-contained look of rage, a forehead vein popping.

Another traditional pencil sketch of Kristoph. It's based on the sprite where he shows a twitching, menacing smile, glasses concealing his eyes. Handwritten beside the drawing is the meme phrase 'Clearly you don't own an air fryer'.

Doodles of the worstie (I’ve just finished turnabout trump for the first time omg ♠️)

Cartoonish, digital art based on the DL-6 incident from Ace Attorney. The shading is deep green, and the lighting is bright orange. The background shows an orange pane of elevator glass with the DL-6 bullet hole. It lets in 2 shafts of light. Black panels border either side of the drawing, with a dark green texture in between.

To the left of the glass panel stands Gregory Edgeworth, carrying a nine-year-old Miles over his right shoulder, which faces the viewer. He looks tender and peaceful, smiling slightly, eyes shut. His glasses are splattered with blood, but he's otherwise unscathed. Miles is curled over his father's shoulder, left arm brought across his face, hiding his chin. The right half of his face is concealed by his fringe. His right hand is angled forward from under his left, hanging down Gregory's back. It clutches Yogi's pistol, which points downwards. Blue-white smoke drifts from the muzzle. Blood stains his cheek and visible leg, coating his hands. He stares at the viewer, haunted and wide-eyed as a tear is starting to fall.

To the right of the other two characters is the adult Miles Edgeworth, in darker shadows. He's sat, curled in on himself. His left arm wraps around his front and rests on right shoulder. His right hand holds his head. He has the same expression as his younger self, sweating, fringe also covering his right eye. Blood stains his hand and cheek.

But when he tried to walk again / He wasn't a child

Cartoonish digital art, done in greyscale with colour accents. It's one rectangular panel, like a detailed storyboard frame. The art shows characters from the first Ace Attorney game— from left to right is Gumshoe, Larry, Wright, Edgeworth, Maya and Mia. It depicts a group hug, set after Wright's 1-4 victory. They're stood in a line, so each character's equally visible.

The colour accents include Gumshoe's green coat, Larry's orange jacket, Wright's blue and Edgeworth's magenta suit jackets, Maya's purple haori/beads and Mia's yellow scarf.

Gumshoe is grinning, right hand over Larry's shoulder, left wiping away a happy tear. Larry lays his right hand on Wright's back, and the other ruffles Wright's hair. He has a wobbly smile, eyes brimming.

Wright's back is partially turned towards the viewer. He grins radiantly, holding Edgeworth's arms like he's just pulled away from a close hug. He looks back at Larry. Edgeworth has his left hand pressed on the front of Wright's shoulder, the other over Wright's back. He smiles tearfully as he looks to his left.

Maya hangs her left hand on Edgeworth's upper arm, her right cheek squashed against his shoulder. She's smiling, open-mouthed, right eye squeezed shut. Mia's left hand rests over Maya's waist as she hugs her loosely. She smiles serenely. Her eyes and body glow in the purple-blue shade of her Magatama necklace, which gives off abstract swirls with an overlay effect.

One day someone is going to hug you so tight that all of your broken pieces will stick back together.

Digital artwork in a cartoonish, cel-shaded style, depicting a small character lineup from the first 'Ace Attorney' game. From left to right: Maya Fey, Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth and Dick Gumshoe. Each character has slightly more exaggerated proportions than canon.

Maya is the shortest and slim, drawn with round shapes. She stands with her feet together, right knee slightly bent and right hand held out beside her, whilst the other rests on her hip. She's smiling open-mouthed, looking playfully to her left.

Wright is taller and lean, using rounded squares. His feet are planted slightly apart, a case file under his right arm. He's pointing up with his left hand, elbow touching his side. He smiles mildly, one brow raised, looking to his left at Edgeworth.

Edgeworth is a little taller than Wright, skinny and using more angular shapes. His legs are locked together, right fist clenched by his side, whilst his left hand crushes a disposable cup of coffee that spills down. He glares at Wright, scowling.

Gumshoe is the tallest by far, thickset and drawn with rounded shapes. His feet are apart; he stands in a pose similar to canon, right hand scratching behind his head and left in his trouser pocket. He grins, open-mouthed and sheepish, eyes squeezed shut.

This time last year I made character art as I watched an AA trilogy playthrough for the first time…so I decided to recreate it for 2023!

A cartoonish, digital drawing of Jinx from the show 'Arcane'. It's based on the scene where she lights her flare: showing her with one arm raised. She's cut off near her wrist at the top, and her hips at the bottom. She's frowning wistfully. Her hair waves behind her, and blue sparks from the flare rain down. There are blue gradient overlays, alongside cel shading, and a pinkish tinge near the bottom of the piece. The background shows blue and greyish-pink clouds.

A coloured, digital sketch of Mel, Jayce and Viktor from the show Arcane. It's based on a commonly-redrawn Twelfth Night photo; they're cut off at the chest.

Jayce is between Mel to his right, who angles her head away to kiss near his lips, and Viktor to his left, who is leant against Jayce's shoulder, part of his face obscured. Both of Jayce's hands are held in front of him: his right supporting Mel's hand, and his left holding Hextech crystals that Viktor covers with his own palm. Viktor holds a more refined gem in his other fist, near his chest. Mel's free hand gently guides Jayce's chin.

Mel is content, eyes shut; Jayce is smiling, but looks beyond her, still troubled; Viktor frowns weakly, eyes also closed, nose and mouth bleeding onto Jayce's shoulder.

Mel's smudged lipstick and Viktor's blood is emphasised in the same pinkish-red, and the Hextech crystals give off a blue glow. The gold accents of Mel's design and Jayce's jacket also stand out. There are overlays of red on Mel, to blue on Viktor, merging over Jayce.

The same drawing, except the colours have been removed— leaving only values over a grey base, with the overlays remaining.

🔴 not enough hours in the day 🔵

I used that iconic Twelfth Night photo as inspiration for this...guess who's finally watched Arcane 😏

🌱 Dragon Slayers: Evolution 🌱

This took a long time, but it was so fun to practice drawing full bodies (and cats 😭) for once! I actually sketched out the concept for these 3 pieces months ago— and recently decided to commit to proper drawings :D

[These pieces were for pure nostalgia, and to revisit media that was part of my artistic journey as a tween! I know the series has major flaws— the treatment of female characters, tasteless fanservice and poor relationship writing, to name a few. I despise these aspects, of course.

I want to make it clear that I drew this art to explore something that shaped my younger self's work. I don't condone Mashima's writing choices, nor did I even keep up with the later arcs of the story and the spin-off(s). Thank you for reading!]

Redrew Part Of Some Official Art In My Style :D After Finishing Dgs2 I'd Forgotten How Much I Love Kazuma's

Redrew part of some official art in my style :D after finishing dgs2 I'd forgotten how much I love Kazuma's original theme 😭 when I started the games it was the first piece I committed to memory <3

[ID: A digital drawing of Kazuma from The Great Ace Attorney series. It's a redraw of official artwork in a cartoonish style; he has longer and sharper shapes. The lighting is a warm yellow-blue gradient rather than the cool overlay of the official art.

He's posed with his right arm behind his head, brandishing his blade Karuma. His left hand is in front of his chest, as if to balance, legs mostly cut off but seemingly planted apart. He's frowning in concentration and facing the viewer. The redraw's background is a bold orange-yellow with a white circle behind Kazuma's face and shoulders. /End ID]

Today Vs. 3.5ish Months Ago! It Was Fun To Mess Around A Bit With The Colour Overlays, And I Tried To

Today vs. 3.5ish months ago! It was fun to mess around a bit with the colour overlays, and I tried to exaggerate the shapes more this time around :]

[ID: A cartoonish digital drawing of Hosonaga and Pavlova from the Great Ace Attorney series. They're cut off around the knees and frowning slightly. Hosonaga is holding a towel on his arm like his waiter sprite; Pavlova holds her hands behind her back in a more neutral pose. The newer piece has gradient yellow-blue shading and warm lighting. The older piece has only base colours and more sketchy, opaque lineart. /End ID]

[ID: A cartoony screenshot redraw from The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve. Mikotoba, Susato, Iris and Sholmes stand facing the viewer, smiling and cut off around their knees. The shading/lighting is a warm orange, and the background is white with an orange panel behind the characters.

Near the bottom of an alternative version, a quote taken from the game reads, 'Because I was lucky enough to have the most wonderful family in the world standing steadfastly behind me.' /End ID]
