tgaa fan comic ft. my oc mycroft, set some time after 1-5 (shortly after susato's return to britain),, i learned a lot making this, and i'm excited to share more comics in the future!! ^^

special thanks to my best friend jamie who came up with iris's nickname for mycroft (which, ironically, is similar to yujin's)!!

also i haven't drawn ryunosuke in so long and it's him choking on his own spit lmao

and now for some silly extras:

[daipeanutsaiban]

Helloooo~ how are you? I just wanted to ask about Mycroft Holmes! I’m not sure if you know the concept of MBTI— basically it’s a theory that all people mainly have 16 personalities. I suggest you search it up, it’s very fun to learn. Anyway, what do you think Mycroft’s MBTI is?

(Bonus if you know his enneagram :3 thank you!)

hii yeah i know what mbti is, i don't particularly care for it tho so it's not something i think about when creating characters, sorry ^^;

[daipeanutsaiban]

some family headcanons (in order: van zieks, baskerville, asogi, holmes) not everyone has names yet 🫣💦

i wrote more details under the cut ⬇️ this info can also be viewed under the "tgaa oc guide" in my carrd (linked in my profile).

Holmes

Mycroft: he’s 7 years older than his brother in the ACD canon, but I wanted him to be around the same age as Klint and Lady Baskerville. He and Sherlock are 7 and 15 respectively here. I wanted his hair to be dark and over his eyes so it’d match his cynical attitude that things are about to go bad at any time. Also, it’s a nice contrast to Sherlock’s lightly toasted color, so you could say he got “burnt”. Mycroft usually wears gloves, both because he dislikes touching things directly and because he has a tendency to be dishonest (a classic character design trope - though it’s probably less obvious in a game where almost every character of the upper social classes will wear gloves due to the setting). Mycroft predominantly wears green (next to yellow on the color wheel). Despite his avoidant and anxious behaviours, he has a sharp tongue, and rarely addresses people by their proper title. For someone who wants to avoid trouble, he doesn’t try really hard to fit in due to being a contrarian in that aspect... he’s a genius, but he’s an idiot too (lol).

Sherlock: The most important thing is that he’s recognizable without being dressed identically to his adult self, because he hasn’t come into his own yet (and it would just make no sense). He’s wearing rather nice clothes since the Holmes family belongs to the gentry class, but my friend suggested that his clothes would be dirty often since he’s crawling around trying to “solve cases” all the time, and I really love that idea. His mother is probably despairing about it. Sherlock takes himself very seriously at this age, but of course he says ridiculous things all the time.

Father (unnamed): I wanted the brothers to have a point of reference or inspiration for their creativity with inventions and general resourcefulness, so he’s a toymaker who specializes in automata. Mycroft learned from him for some time until he eventually surpassed him due to his inherent genius, but Sherlock lost interest quickly despite also showing talent. Their father is a friendly man whose work usually keeps busy, and he’s on good terms with his wife. I’m undecided on whether the toy shop should be connected to their house or not.

Mother (unnamed): I really wanted her to look like her youngest son without being an exact replica of him, with a simple and uncomplicated design. She’s a housewife with no other occupation officially, but she’s adept at sewing and often takes on requests from friends and neighbours. She also makes clothes for her husband’s creations, as well as for her children. Will dress up Mycroft and Sherlock in dresses on occasion, sometimes to get back at them for causing trouble and sometimes just to try out designs. Sherlock doesn’t mind it, and neither does Mycroft though he’s annoyed at the “punishment” since it’s usually his brother who ropes him into trouble. Their mother is constantly fatigued by their antics, so I feel a little bad for her (their father is more easygoing, so he doesn’t get as stressed out by their sons). Her relationship with her oldest son was complicated for some time due to his tendency to withdraw from the world, but her youngest helped her understand that his brother does love her in his own ways.

Van Zieks

I tried my best to incorporate angel motifs in their design to reflect Barok’s “fallen angel” motif later in life, hence why his and Klint’s father has white hair for example. The feather lace on their mother’s sleeves was a last minute addition; I think I’ll revisit their designs again soon. Klint wears his hair the same as he does as an adult to keep him recognizable, but I think it’d be funny if when he was very young it was parted on the side and he hated it or something.

Claes: Their father’s name. It’s Dutch and pronounced “Klaus”, but I keep pronouncing it wrong (a little bit on purpose because I like the sound of it spelled out). He has a constant poker face, but he’s actually the most affectionate parent in this entire lineup..! He’s meant to be smiling in the drawing, but a stranger wouldn’t be able to tell. I love characters whose personality subverts our expectations we’d usually have based on their appearance, so he looks and acts very seriously but would rather spend time at home with his family and hates going to work (lol). Also fond of cute, small, and typically “feminine” things, but he keeps that part of him a secret since it’d be frowned upon for a man in this era, especially within the upper class which is all about appearance (his wife is aware of it, though). Maybe that’s why he dotes on his kids so much? He’s very corny as well and has plenty of nicknames for his wife and children, which Klint hated at this age. I also wanted Claes to be the same height as Stronghart, with an imposing build and expression, so that the next authority figure in the brothers’ lives following his death would “fill” the gap he left. But that didn’t end so well, did it...

Evana: Their mother’s name. Similarly to Claes, her personality is meant to subvert her elegant appearance. She’s a complete airhead and once got lost in her own house. Evana is nonetheless stricter than her husband towards her children and puts a lot of emphasis on what is or isn’t proper. She’s in tune with trends and gossip as is expected of a lady in her position, and might come across as superficial to some, but she is very loving. When young Lady Baskerville would visit, she and her future mother-in-law would get along tremendously well (to Klint’s annoyance as he also wanted to spend time with his fiancee but couldn’t relate to most of their conversations). Evana had the most religious faith among the van Zieks, and would encourage virtue, integrity, and nobility of character above all else in her children.

Barok and Klint: Two well-behaved, beloved children. Barok is of course the little darling after all; I think Klint was probably the more rebellious one but became very serious after their parents’ death with all the responsibilities now on his shoulders. That was probably a very lonely period for Barok, until his brother cheered up again.

Baskerville

Primrose (Lady Baskerville): In flower language, her name means “I can’t live without you”. I didn't know this at the time I named her, but it fits the story very well, so thank you to my friend who taught me this! Primrose’s outlook is very unconventional for the era and especially at her young age, but she’s grown disillusioned with her lot in life as well as men following her mother’s death. I wanted her to be the only one in the family to be a redhead to reflect how she’s not fitting the mould with her assertive and brash personality, and how she feels "out of place". Her father dresses her in very impractical, often white dresses to assert his control over her as a form of “love”; to thwart her tendency to sneak out of the house without permission and participate in unladylike activities.

Her and Klint become codependent on each other following his own parents’ passing and promise to marry each other even though Lord Baskerville is set on finding his daughter a suitor with a more stable future.

The woman is her stepmother, and the others are her father and her half-brother. Since I’m working on a project involving all of them, I don’t want to reveal too much about them yet. All I can say is that it’s not a happy home, and no one in particularly close to each other (except the twins, maybe)...

Asogi

Genshin: I imagined he used to be short and got his growth spurt late (shown at around 12 years old here). Genshin looks a lot like Kazuma due to his eyes and nose, but thankfully he has a distinctive hairstyle already. I'd like to think he grows out his hair at around fifteen. The scarf's pattern is meant to evoke snake scales! Sorry for how lazily I drew Karuma here, haha. As for his personality, he has a poker face but I like to think he can be quite mischievous, though not towards his immediate family as the repercussions would be non-negligible. His brother in law, Hiroki, however, is the perfect person to prank since he's both kind and naive. I also imagine it's tradition for every (male) Asogi to dedicate their life to training, though he’d have a bamboo sword instead of Karuma at this age, probably... I wonder how Genshin discovered the hilt trick? If he was a kid or teenager, maybe he hid snacks inside (lol).

Miwa: Genshin’s older sister. She wears men’s clothes most of the time. Being their father’s legitimate child, she was going to inherit the clan despite being a woman until Genshin showed up. With Genshin having the “luck” to resemble his father, as well as being male, their father decided to make him the heir instead. Miwa resents Genshin for taking this chance from her, despite knowing deep down that he is not personally at fault. Still, she is outwardly bitter and dismissive of him, and spites his efforts to become closer to his sister. Miwa is both vain and arrogant while also following a rigid moral code. She distrusts men, most likely due to her father’s treatment, but she also respects her father greatly as a warrior. Miwa displays surprising gentleness towards children and women, namely Genshin’s girlfriend and later wife Yukari. Her abrasive personality mellows out when she becomes a mother herself, but she was unable to repair her relationship with her brother before his death. Since that’s very sad, in modern AUs I like to depict them on better terms.

Hiroki: Miwa’s husband through arranged marriage. Hails from a family of performers; his specialty is traditional dance but he’s skilled in rakugo as well. I wanted a character with a sensitive side, who is in touch with his emotions, to contrast the serious and tense atmosphere of the Asogi clan. Thanks to that side of him, Hiroki gets along well with Yukari who has a similar easygoing and “refreshing” personality. However, Hiroki’s sensitivity creates problems since Miwa is confused by a man exhibiting such behaviours (he’s the type to be moved by beautiful scenery and cry over small animals). Hiroki believes everyone can do good and that most people act from goodness, but for this reason he’s easily tricked- namely by Genshin. Despite amusing himself at his expense (since Genshin is quite clever), Genshin enjoys Hiroki’s company since he’s a very mellow person and doesn’t bring up dreadful topics like inheritance and power and such. Hiroki is surprisingly well-built under his clothes, and his weapon of choice is a naginata. I guess Syoma wanted his son-in-law to be strong..?

Syoma: The central figure in the Asogi household. Still alive during the events of TGAA. A very serious man who accords a lot of importance to honor and tradition to the point it’s stifling. Distant from his children, though Miwa claims Genshin is the favorite. The kind of father to make his children compete to “make them grow”, even though one of them is almost an adult and the other is barely a teenager. Although Genshin was conceived after his late wife’s passing, Syoma sees Genshin as a reminder of his dishonourable actions (mainly due to Genshin’s mother being a prostitute), and thus avoids him despite placing the onus of inheritance upon him. All of that results in a house Genshin doesn’t want to stay in- and contributes to his reasons to go study abroad. In his own twisted way, Syoma loves his children, but he was never meant to be a father, or at least does not know how to parent without a wife’s help (tradition and patriarchy is very much a theme for the whole clan lol). I honestly struggle to write him because the things he says can be very hurtful, especially towards his daughter-in-law. His character is a lot more comedic/nicer in modern AU (think pseudo yakuza with mother hen personality), but so is everyone’s. (it’s very sitcom-like, haha)

Thanks for reading if you made it this far!! This post could be even longer but I decided to spare everyone💗 have a bonus papazieks and children doodle for your time👼💗

[daipeanutsaiban]

finally remembered to update my bio and add links to my other socials 😅 and yes i'll be using this blog to post art unrelated to tgaa or ace attorney in the future, though it feels funny to say because tgaa will likely remain the majority of what i post haha 😂

[daipeanutsaiban]

ah, my dear mycroft,

[daipeanutsaiban]

ahhh i had no idea you liked hmmk 🥹 you’re one of my favourite dgs artists seeing hmmk in the tags of your last comic made me smile so wide. adore your work sm ❤️

i'm honored 🥰 it would be nice to share some hmmk works in the future (once i get the hang of drawing yujin, oops) but be forewarned that the main draw of the ship for me is the conflict and angst inherent to their relationship rather than fluffy romance, haha...

[daipeanutsaiban]

i was gonna say it on the last post i rb'd but i think i'll say it here cus it really applies to alot of your other drawings lol but i loveeee how your art is so reminiscent of manga like not even just in art style but just SO much of it i cant name every specific part. compositions expressions, small tidbits above the panels sometimes, and also things like the 'extras' in your mycroft comic

ive read alot of manga LMAO and also alot of works inspired by manga but i dont think ive seen anyone capture that manga-esque quality in the same way you do (specifically reminds me of maybe 90s-2000s?? idk) but yeah one of my favourite things abt looking at your stuff <33

omg 😭💞💞 thats actually so interesting and funny that u mention 90s and early 00s manga specifically because rumiko takahashi's and clamp's works (cardcaptor sakura especially) + naruto had a HUGE influence on my art style and how i approach character interaction, comedic pacing and so on..... something i've also always loved including is characters "muttering under their breath" or commenting to themselves being presented at smaller text outside of the speech bubble containing the Actually Important dialogue (not sure if there is a proper term for it) and i feel like that's not something usually featured in western comics :o

(☝️like that) i just think it adds flavor and a bit of complexity to the character's dialogue even when the dialogue itself is relatively simple <3 and i LOOOVED reading the extras/omake at the end of each volume and especially when the mangaka would have their characters occasionally answer readers' questions in character, it was and still is absolutely charming to me..... i've done that like. maybe once here from what i remember but when i was a kid i really wanted to make a character ask blog (then got scared) so it's fun to include that stuff as a little tribute to young fel haha <33 thank uuuu 🥹🫶

tgaa fan comic ft. my oc mycroft, set some time after 1-5 (shortly after susato's return to britain),, i learned a lot making this, and i'm excited to share more comics in the future!! ^^

I absolutely love your tgaa ocs and characterisations! It brings about a lot of world building that I think the games should have had (even if, logically, it wouldn't have been able to fit amongst the actual storyline)

I also love that no matter how silly you draw Klint, I can still see his murderous tendencies sitting in his eyes. That may just be me though.

And also also, Mycroft is wayy too relatable. As someone who is equally anxious and avoidant of social interactions, it gives me hope. I love him, he's great

I do wish to know, however: what was Susato's and Kazuma's mothers like?

thank you so much!! i'm very happy to hear that :D and it's interesting you say that about klint, i do sometimes worry i'm drawing him too silly but it's nice to hear that his intensity still shines through! 🙏

aww, it's a delight that people seem to like my take on mycroft, thank you again!! 🥹🥹 i was extremely anxious as a child, so it's very cathartic to write him haha <3

oh, i have a LOT for yukari (kazuma's mother) but not nearly as much for ayame 😫 i did write about them a bit here! (warning for quite the long post lmao, but i talk about ayame and yukari towards the end of it) i also have a tag for yukari, but the short answer is that i designed her to contrast genshin, who i imagine to be more reserved initially (though not cold) and serious while yukari herself is playful and comes across as quite silly. still, she harbors a quiet strength and left a profound impact on kazuma, who prefers not talking about her as the memory of his mother slowly dying in front him little by little is still fresh in his eyes. as for ayame, she emits an aura of benevolence and zen, but is just as playful as well as a bit of a klutz. in contrast to yukari whom she met on the streets as a child, ayame is from a good family with ties to the asogi clan, and yukari both envied, admired, and resented her. i really want to do more with these two but i'm hitting a wall irt ayame's design as an adult 😩 i did draw her as a child before tho 👇

very old doodle and her clothes are too plain for my liking but i thought it'd be cute and awesome if her hairstyle was shaped like an iris flower.... :')
