One Day Someone Is Going To Hug You So Tight That All Of Your Broken Pieces Will Stick Back Together.

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.

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

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]

coloured an iris sketch 💞 :>

[ID: A cartoon digital drawing of Iris from The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. She’s grinning with her eyes shut, one hand raised to press a thumb lightly against her cheek. The shading is a warm orange gradient. The background is white— apart from a light blue circle behind her head, and a dark brown circle at her feet. /End ID]

🌱 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!]
