Nightmares

[Transcript]

A colorless sketch comic of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney.

Page 1:

Phoenix is wearing his suit from the Phoenix Wright trilogy, but with no badge. He is running, trying to escape the clutches of a dark, morphed arm with claws, but fails as it grasps his forearm. He glances back at it, terrified. Pictures of Kristoph Gavin's darkened gaze with a smirk and little Trucy giving him a piece of paper flash in his mind as the monster hugs him from behind, only its creepy smile and eyes comprehensive. The monster has long, loose hair flowing and branching everywhere, and something resembling two braids at the top. The strands of hair separate the previous imaginery into scenes.

Phoenix gasps as wakes up, sweating with unshed tears in his eyes, and clutching his blanket with his eyes widened. He is unshaven, and his hair is a mess.

Page 2:

Panel 1:

He sits up quickly, clutching the part of the t-shirt where his heart is, as he breathes heavily. With his other hand he is tightly grasping his blanket.

Panel 2:

A long-sleeved hand grabs the one clutching the blanket, and it jolts. "Phoenix," the person mumbles.

Panel 3:

"M-Miles," Phoenix stutters as he turns his gaze to Miles, who is hidden by Phoenix as he's still laying down. Miles' hand moves to the hand grasping at Phoenix's shirt, talking to him. "Listen to my voice," he speaks, still tired, "Come lay down." Phoenix's grasp on the blanket loosens.

Panel 4:

Phoenix falls back down on the pillow with a thump. "That's it," Miles praises him, with his eyes still closed, trying to emerge from his half-asleep state. His hair is a mess too, one of his bangs tucked behind his ear and with a slight scruff on his face. Phoenix, still shakened, glances at him. Miles holds his hand. "Take a deep breath. 'm right here."

Page 3:

Panel 1:

Miles lifts himself up, getting an arm under Phoenix's head. "C'mere," he says, and Phoenix with his trembling lip tries to apologize, "I-I'm s—" but he is cut off by Miles' shushing him. His other arm is caressing his chest.

Panel 2:

Miles tucks Phoenix in his own chest, wrapping his arms around his neck, one of them scratching his head. He scrunches his eyebrows, "I'm here, darling." Phoenix's eyes fill with tears once more and he hiccups, shaking.

Panel 3:

Miles wraps Phoenix up in his arms, burying his head in his hair. "It was just a dream," he says as Phoenix lets out a sob. Tears roll down his face as he buries himself entirely in Miles' shoulder, hugging him back. "You're safe," Miles continues, "It was just a dream."

Deep in the yaoi mines here folks

I drew a comic about Iris's time living as Dahlia at Ivy U for @aawomenzine! The zine is now open for leftover sales, so definitely check it out if you're interested in some #girls. Some extra thoughts below the cut.

This is probably the single most difficult time I've had working on a zine piece, which is really something. I put dozens of hours of work into this, probably around 60, definitely at least 50. I thought I would be saving myself some time by doing a lineart style of comic instead of flat limited palette like I normally do; more work on the front end that serves to simplify the finishing significantly by making it easier to color. This was completely wrong and I ended up really floundering. Well, that's drawing for you. Sometimes you spend what amounts to a week and a half of full time work on something and it looks worse than things you've drawn with a tenth of the effort. That said I had fun playing around with all of my little paper scrap and ribbon photo pngs, and it was great to get to draw a headcanon I've had for a really long time but haven't had the chance to do anything with up until this point.

There was a bunch of additional stuff I wanted to add but couldn't figure out how to cram in here because I have a lot of thoughts on this period of the canon. The snippets interspersed throughout the last couple of pages are bits of senryu poetry, which dahlia was studying while at ivy, but my headcanon is that dahlia was some kind of undeclared humanities major just kind of coasting through general credits, and specializing in senryu is something iris has a real passion for and decided to pusure while she was impersonating dahlia. I think dahlia stuck with it mostly for the sake of not rocking the boat too much and because studying poetry is something she felt she could coast with. i don't see her as caring all that much about her academics, certainly.

i think that dahlia spent this time living it up on a beach in mexico somewhere living off the money she got from fencing the diamond she stole as part of the earlier kidnapping scheme, and once it ran out she crossed back over the border to go see where things stood for 'dahlia hawthorne' legally. i think she was 100% expecting the cops to come for her and send iris to prison in her stead, and was pretty surprised to find her just sort of chumming around with her college friends when she got back. shes gotta do EVERYTHING around here jeez!!!

butz of the worth of whatever they call it

[profedger]

Someone asked for feminine Phoenix and I'm here to serve (context: they're at a black-tie party/event something hosted by a witness they both want to question)

[profedger]

the problem with how people characterize narumitsu is that they only see them as the grumpy and the sunshine ship dynamic, so they end up writing phoenix as a golden retriever and miles as an old gay queen.

but like, phoenix is such a bitch. the bitchiest bitch that ever bitched, actually. he enjoys sarcasm and trash talking, but he has this thing called "situational awareness", so he knows not to behave like a massive cunt in front of people involved in a murder investigation

on the other hand miles gets easily flustered and his fight or flight response to being caught off guard is spitting a venomous comeback. but in his head he's making puns. he's thinking about how the plants are beautiful. he's like an easily spooked horse who is also a dork that gets into a staring contest with a dog. and then loses

That Man! An Ace Attorney Fan Comic

More under the cut!

I really liked AA:I, so I had to make a silly comic about it (it probably breaks canon somewhere, but I'm okay with it!). Ace Attorney really inspired me to become a writer/comic artist, so I wanted to give back to the franchise. Hope you enjoy.

🌺 Gratitude 🌺

For those who don't know: shaymin is the Gratitude pokémon. The pink flowers are Gracidea flowers, people give bouquets of those to thank someone and express their gratitude. I wouldn't be able to draw without the people who helped me! And so I am very, very grateful!!!🌺🌺🌺

[profedger]

He means it.

Based on that one flashback from AA4. I love them both so much. :(

This was me practicing using a more limited color palette and honestly I think I failed. help.
