But When He Tried To Walk Again / He Wasn't A Child

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.

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 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!]

Found Family Any% Speedrun <3 I can't believe I'm on 2-5 already...I'll be replaying this promptly after finishing I think 😭

[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]
