Hi everyone, l know I promised I’d be working on that animation mock-up of Athena and Apollo, and I WAS working on it. But….i had an emergency, my dad is in the hospital at the moment ( we are not sure why, the doctors think it’s a miniature stroke. Maybe…he’s in observation) I’ve been there with him all of yesterday and I’ll be at the hospital until he’s discharged. (I’m so glad my mom’s with me through this…)

I’m gonna update you guys once dad’s ok and I’ve finished Athena’s inking and shading…let’s hope for the best.

I’m probably gonna be posting some reblogs I’ve been procrastinating on. I want this blog and my general thought blog to be organized but I haven’t had the time. So I put it in drafts in the hopes I can organized later and queue them all…since I’m stuck at the hospital, Maybe I’ll be able to do that. It’s mindless enough to do while I’m keeping an eye on dad and his needs (and to keep me from panicking over him) . Well, hopefully I’ll post again with better news soon.

I'm halfway through making a mock-up fan animation of this concept! I love this idea so much (the character designs are to die for). I don't know if I'm overstepping by adding my fan animation into a reblog. Please let me know if I am and I'll take it down.

(I still didn't do Athena's ponytail and Widget's ribbons but I got too excited to share...)

this should be based on the little doodle on top of Klavier's animation concepts, And the background should be the train from case 5. I wanted to make alt-outfits of Polly and 'Thena in their swimsuits but I'm picking my battles for now...

Ace Attorney: Trials in Paradise 🌅

— an AA7 fan concept —

Initial Premise:

Since it’s designed for the Switch 2 (and thus made for a larger screen), the game will almost always have 2-3 characters on screen at a time, and will feature dozens of unique interaction animations between all sorts of character combos.

There has been another 7 year timeskip.

The old judge retired, and the new judge is his granddaughter!

The jurist system is featured.

This concept is heavily based around these designs.

The characters would have multiple outfits throughout the game, which become unlockable costumes, much like the DLC costumes of DD, SoJ, and TGAA games.

While this is way too specific to truly be a "prediction" of what aa7 could be, I tried to keep it (mostly) realistic to what I thought could actually be in an ace attorney game!

📦 Case 1: Turnabout Homecoming

Trucy left the nest and Phoenix doesn’t like living alone anymore, so Phoenix is moving into Edgeworth’s house. Apollo— who recently got his driver's license— was driving the moving van, and was accused because a body had been found in the vehicle. The true killer was one of the movers. I like the idea that you'd have to look through boxes for evidence, maybe the murder weapon was hidden within their belongings.

Defendant: Apollo Defense: Phoenix Weird Girl: Edgeworth Prosecutor: Diana Payne (Winston’s daughter) Detective: (drumroll…) Godot!! Witnesses: Larry (he was helping with the move), Leslie (one of the movers) Victim: Bee(another one of the movers) Killer: Anne(third mover)

(rest of the cases and a lotttt more art under the cut ↓ )

🎢 Case 2: Rollercoaster Turnabout

Maya and Pearl are on vacation at Blue Badger Land. Pearl is accused of murder after a body is found on an unpopular attraction that only Pearl enjoys going on. As an aside, Gumshoe is retired from detective work, and now works as a dog trainer. He trained Armando's service dog, Spot O'Coffee. Wendy Oldbag also serves as a witness, but she's pretty old at this point. Her memory has become fuzzy with age, and her testimonies begin to mix up information from other trials (which will be little references to previous games).

Defendant: Pearl Defense: Apollo Weird Girl: Maya Prosecutor: Klavier Detective: Godot Witnesses: Gumshoe (and his kids, Callum & Beau), Wendy Oldbag, Ride Operator Victim: Ride Safety Inspector Killer: Park Manager

💍 Case 3: My Love, Turnabout

Klavier has arranged a collab performance between Trucy and Lamiroir. Hugh Dini, Trucy's assistant and boyfriend, is accused when his stunt double is found dead. Hugh is very cagey about his alibi, but it's because he was planning to propose and didn't want Trucy to know yet. Franziska takes this and spins it into a jealousy plot, and insinuates he killed his stunt double out of envy. Because Hugh is actually pretty shy, he has a habit of not speaking up, which only incriminates him further. A twist in the case is revealed during a cross-examination when it turns out the "gold band" the witness is referring to wasn't Hugh's engagement ring, but instead about a gold bangle. This immediately puts Apollo under suspicion, until Phoenix drops a hint that someone else (Lamiroir) has a gold bracelet as well. The truth about Trucy and Apollo's sibling relationship is revealed when Athena finds an unexpected emotion in Phoenix's mood matrix, and Lamiroir decides it’s time to break the news.

Defendant: Hugh Dini Defense: Athena Weird Girl: Phoenix, Apollo (← steps in when Phoenix has to get cross-examined) Prosecutor: Franziska Detective: Ema Witnesses: Lamiroir, Trucy, Hugh Dini Fangirl Victim: Hugh's Stunt Double Killer: Jealous Trucy Stan

🏝️ Case 4: The Getaway

This one isn’t a traditional case.

After Manfred Von Karma divorced his first wife, Bianka, he moved to Europe, and his previous home was left uninhabited until his eldest daughter, Karla Von Karma, discovers she has inherited it. She decides to turn the beachside property into a bed & breakfast, and invites her half-sister Franziska and adoptive brother Edgeworth to give the manor a trial run and let her know if it’s suitable for visitors. Edgeworth brings along Wright Anything Agency, because… why not treat them to a break?

But of course, their vacation quickly takes a turn when they find a literal skeleton in the closet.

Not all of the rooms in the estate had been searched. Manfred’s study has a large, padlocked safe, and Karla hadn’t gotten around to hiring a locksmith to open it for her. Phoenix tries “0001” for the hell of it, and the only thing more surprising than that combination successfully opening the safe is the body folded up inside.

They can’t imagine the killer was anyone other than Manfred Von Karma, but— since he’s already been executed— they’re not sure if a trial even needs to be held. They need to investigate the situation to determine with absolute certainty it was, in fact, Von Karma, because otherwise they’d need to find a new suspect. Obviously, the group of criminal justice lawyers aren’t not going to get to the bottom of it.

Except Apollo, who has decided he wants nothing to do with solving the murder. He came on this trip for a vacation, dammit, and that's exactly what he's gonna do. He heads back outside to the beach, and leaves everyone else to the investigation.

The first mystery is figuring out when the murder happened. The police arrive, and Ema estimates that the remains are about 30-40 years old, which is around the time the Von Karma family moved out. Since Manfred & Bianka had divorced in 1999, they start to wonder if Manfred had even still been residing here when the murder took place, but the body is found with a train ticket dated for January of 2002. A time period that just so happens to line up with the one singular vacation Manfred took during his entire career— to recover from a gunshot wound that he couldn’t even trust a doctor with knowing about.

The body is wearing a housekeeper's uniform, and they identify her as Ophelia Falsch. They conclude that she was killed because she had discovered Manfred’s injury, and he wanted to eliminate the witness. They think they have the case over and done with, but then Ema comes back with the dental analysis. She explains there was no dental record of an "Ophelia Falsch", but the teeth did match Bianka Von Karma.

This raises some questions. Why was Bianka dressed as Ophelia? Was there a more personal reason Manfred could have killed his ex-wife? Could Ophelia have been involved as well?

Since the murder happened so long ago, they don't even know where to begin with finding witnesses. Karla was 18 at the time of the murder, and had just moved out, so she wasn't present. Edgeworth, of all people, is the one to suggest an unconventional idea: why not ask Von Karma himself?

The manor is in a remote location that's only accessible by train or boat, and since it's late, Maya won't be able to get there until the next morning. In the meantime, they check up on Apollo, only to find him getting scolded by a woman about having his chair on the beach. She explains that she's Karla's daughter, Angelika Von Karma, and that she's impassioned about marine ecology. She just discovered the beach had become a nesting site for an endangered species of sea turtles, and is worried about disrupting it.

The next morning, Maya arrives, and Phoenix and Edgeworth hold a mock trial in the foyer. Manfred is channeled, but is uncooperative, so they try... a different method. Phoenix and Edgeworth perform a reenactment of how they think the murder happened, while Trucy and Athena watch Manfred to see if they can glean any information based on his reactions.

Manfred breaks down and confesses to the murder, but is telling the truth when he says that he didn't know the victim was Bianka; he did, in fact, think he had killed a housekeeper who found out about his gunshot wound. After this, his spirit is released.

As puzzling as this is— who was Ophelia, anyway?— they can't do anymore investigating because Karla has become very upset. The whole ordeal has caused long-repressed emotions to resurface. She's always felt a little bit resentful towards Franziska because their father left Bianka for Franziska's mother, Levina, and always felt like she had her family taken from her. On top of that, Manfred had done everything he could to get full custody of Karla in the divorce, and she never saw her mother again. She's angry that that wasn't enough— he'd gone and killed her too.

Karla and Franziska get into a big fight, and the whole trip ends up cancelled.

🚂 Case 5: Turnabout Train Car

They all board the train to head home. The mood is really awkward and it's kind of a bummer. Since the train is only way out of the area, Karla has to board as well, albeit in another car.

And because nothing is ever easy, there’s a murder on the train.

The victim was the owner of the train, Diesel Porter. He was found in his private sleeping room, and the only other room on that train car was being occupied by Karla, so naturally, she is accused.

Since Ema and the police are already on the train, they’re able to take control of the situation until the train makes it back to town. The Wright Anything Agency isn’t allowed to investigate the crime scene much, so they opt to interrogate the other odd passengers.

They get a helpful tip from the train’s bartender that Cole Porter, son of Diesel Porter, had been making plans to build a resort. They also find out that the train company had been losing money, since they weren’t getting many passengers.

The next day in court, Phoenix claims Cole killed his father to inherit the company, but Cole denies it because, why would he want to inherit a dying company? And Phoenix turns it around by bringing up the resort plans and how he wanted to build it on Karla’s property. He couldn’t just kill Karla, because then they’d have to take care of Angelika and Franziska too, so they needed Karla to feel like she had no choice but to sell it.

The trial goes to recess and Cole is apprehended for questioning, but at that moment they get word that someone else has just been murdered on the train— the bartender from before.

Phoenix goes back to the train investigate and boards when it’s stopped on the mountaintop station. While he’s investigating the train’s caboose, Cole’s wife, Electra, detaches it from the rest of the train. Cole and his wife were in cahoots! Phoenix is sent hurtling backwards down the mountain in the runaway car, and manages to pull the emergency brake just before reaching the bottom. He’s ended up back by the manor, and calls to have a boat sent to pick him up.

While he waits, he finds Angelika is still here studying the turtles. She gives him permission to go inside the manor again to investigate. He finds the deed to the house, along with an old photo that has a letter written on the back. It’s addressed to Bianka from Levina (Franziska’s mother).

The case is solved when Phoenix proves that both Cole & Electra Porter were involved in the murders. The land becomes protected by the government in order to keep the sea turtles safe, since they are endangered.

After the trial, Phoenix shows Karla and Franziska the letter he’d found. It turns out Levina hired Bianka as a housekeeper under the alias “Ophelia” so that she could still see her daughter Karla. The photo depicts a teenage Karla playing with a baby Franziska. Levina and Bianka had a good relationship, and had made efforts to keep their families together.

Karla and Franziska apologize to each other, and agree to get along better.

💃 (DLC) Case 6: Turnabout Runway

Klavier has been invited as a guest judge for a fashion tv competition. He invites Pearl (and Apollo) to the shooting as an apology for accusing her for murder & because of their shared interest in fashion. "Lip sync for your life" but literally.

Defendant: Lady Killer Defense: Athena Weird Girl: Pearl Prosecutor: Blackquill Detective: Ema Witnesses: ensemble of drag queens/models, Klavier Victim: Taxi Macabre Killer: Paul Rue

I promised I'd make a mock-up duo animation AND I'M KEEPING THAT PROMISE!!!!

🧿This is a w.i.p. I should be able to finish it soon. This is fanart of the amazing @sabertoothwalrus 's aa7 concepts. It is supposed to be in the final case since it would be the only time it would make sense for Polly and thena to be both on-screen and not the pov characters.

I'm going for a full fake screenshot effect and animation. The BG is almost done and I'm going to start working on the proper animation for Polly and 'thena.

🧿A while back while I was really sick, I did this on my phone.

🧿 I always saw these little character challenges, but I would hesitate to use my ocs, since nothing about them is set in stone. But I caved, have my two babies in love.

🧿I want to do another one for my other characters in relationships. But I don’t know if it would be spoiler territory or not. These two are an obvious end-game couple for one of my stories, so I thought “why not?”

The original template is by scribble mama from @theworldofkree

I just realized I've posted the first three out of order! welp! not fixing that... the speech under each sketch ↓↓↓ is my comments from the videos themselves that I'm reposting along with the sketch. because no one reads the description. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🧿The first song I got was (unfortunately) [カラカラカラのカラ] or [Emptiness, Emptiness, Emptiness of Emptiness] by the amazing kikuo. While it's an amazing song, I had no idea how to illustrate it. I decided to follow Occam's Razor and just took some notes from the original pv.

◈(3/100) complete!!◈

🧿 I always adore NayutalieN's style of music, starstruck (heh) and youthful rock at its finest! Strato Stella is one of their first songs and one of their most vague in meaning. most of their songs usually cover themes of young folk struggling with communicating their feelings but this is one of their rare melancholic tracks (which I adore more). I had to capture the starcrossed (HEH) lovers spoken of in this song. I took some liberties with colors and designs because I believe Strato's back is the only thing we saw in the og pv. welp.

◈(2/100) complete!!◈

🧿After being stuck in an almost 4-year long art block, I'm attempting the challenge of illustrating 100 of my favorite Vocaloid songs to break said block. I was heavily inspired by the wonderful Taranto Yakima , as she illustrated 100 of her favorite Miku songs and not only succeded, but she is now doing bonus illustrations! such tenacity!

🧿 Owata-p! One of the biggest Vocaloid veterans! With an unexpected addition to his benzene series! always assumed that the series had come to an end with toluene, and yet here we are. I know, it doesn't look like an addition to that series but every part of the series shows a little blurb in the video explaining how the chemical is related to the benzene chemical compound, and so does this one. The Benzene series has always meant a lot to me when it comes to really teaching myself self-examination and reflection. This one is no different, it feels like it's more pointed to the more recent state of affairs caused by the online space. The sugar-coating and escapism that is caused by the internet to avoid how bad things are becoming today. It is understandable, yet the song points out that it could become a self-fulfilling cycle if this continues without examination and efforts to fix it!

◈(1/100) complete!!◈

🧿I'm trying to post more and be active without burning out. I'm going to post more periodically on here.

◉ this is just some concept art of my ocs. I used to think I should probably keep these close to my heart and not show anyone in case the projects related to these OCs get scrapped or the OCS themselves get recycled. I'm now realizing that with how easily I get burnt out, I'm never gonna post anything, and people don't judge as harshly as I thought they did over scrapped or abandoned projects.

⨀ I'm gonna make special tags for each oc project I have! The characters here are from a project I named "Cranberry Clash!", their names are "Ocran" or "cran" for short (braids), and Francesca "Frankie" (double pigtails)!

⨀ocran is a magical girl of sorts! She is more traditional than some other magical girl ocs, but the plot is still a work in progress. I'll make a master post if I make enough progress to post more. until then!

edit: oops i keep posting to the wrong blog!!! please stand by!!!

🧿the reason I missed the Grandfest after-party was that I attended the kikuo-go-round concert in Toronto! it was wonderful! the venue probably didn't expect how crowded things would get, lol. I had a lot of fun. I sadly caught a nasty cold afterward, which is why I was kind of absent from the internet! 〒▽〒...

⨀ p.s. : I never expected Kikuo to play "Universe Cat Drowning"! It's one of my favorites of his along with "Dreaming Mechanical Doll" (I was shocked that he said it's his least popular! It's so pretty!) and "Sorrowful Spaceship"!

🧿 thank you Splatoon! I attended the grandfest (but I sadly missed the after-party (；′⌒`)...) I followed Splatoon since it was first released back in 2017! I remember being 15 and being heartbroken that I might never get to play a game series that was almost tailor-made to my interest ( I used to live in the Middle East, where the chances of me playing a Nintendo console were close to zero)

⨀ I finally managed to get a switch and a game last year! it has been a blast, everyone! may Splatoon continue to be a source of fun and wonderful creativity!

🧿 A doodle of clementine done on my phone during a doctor’s visit.

🧿a doodle dump of multiple interests I've had over the past few months. I want to draw more. I need to draw more.

🧿I've been a fan of the 8-bit drummer. so I did some fanart of sir sweep. lol.

⨀ hello everyone! I finally managed to get around and make a speed paint. I decided to take a small break from some of my bigger art projects and redraw a piece from 2016. How has it been 7 years since I was 15?! Jesus christ?!

bass-boosted cyyu tech support (animatic) w.i.p that I’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks. I hope I could one day turn it into a full animation but...job search is sadly the priority, But hey! This will look nice on my portfolio, won’t it?

⨀ concept art of some of my own original characters over the past couple of years. they are my babies.

⨀ character designs I did for the co-op project I needed to graduate, some members of my class (myself included) ended up volunteering for a pitch trailer for the concept for a client. I'm pretty happy with my concept work here!

◈ However, since I'm not sure how far the project went since I helped out, so I'll keep the concept art just on Tumblr. This blog is more anonymous and personal than the rest of the internet.

⨀ fanart of Disco Elysium. I haven't actually played the game, but I fell into an AO3 rabbit hole I'm not sure I will climb out of anytime soon. I really like their dynamic, though I might be saying that because they remind me of some kind of reverse teaholding, lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

◈ also, could you tell how this practice piece ran away from me? it was supposed to be a sketch, how did it end up like this. It was supposed to be a sketch, it was supposed to be a sketch!!

⨀ more sketches from the D&D campaign that ended too soon. along with some more OC ideas that were dropped.

⨀ Art I did for fun back when I used to play DND. Don't know if I'll ever go back to playing but It was fun while it lasted. I'm posting these because I'm pretty happy with the ones I did manage to get rendered. I was using Krita at the time. it was pulling teeth, I found out after I caved and bought CSP just how much I hated Krita. However, I do miss its quick toolbar, that was nice.

◉ Most of the characters are my friends' DND OCs, not mine. My characters are the blue half-elf witch (basically my persona, it was my first campaign and I didn't want to be overly adventurous), and the purple-skinned high elf in the green dress (which I made for a campaign I had to drop when my mental health jumped from a cliff).

grace (the dragon ranger):

Emma (pink-haired bard) :

◉ I couldn't find the rest of my group's socials. welp...the rest of my group were Max (mummy monk), Luna (the young berzerker in orange), and Leah (the rouge in cyan).

◉ oooooh...this post aged like milk...as an ex-fan of Epithet Erased, I must attach some new context to this post. jello used to be known for his "so this is basically" series, I didn't like that series as I didn't like the feeling that the work was being mocked. at the time, I thought I was just too sensitive and assumed that it was a lighthearted parody done by a fan of those series. So I avoided them (in an agree-to-disagree way) as I liked much of his other stuff. It also helped that he started to leave that series behind in recent years.

◉HOWEVER, It has come to my attention that this habit of his is not only still present, but it is actively more malicious than I thought it was... I'm not the best expert on such things, so please take a look at this video from Arthandle on this subject. Keep it in mind if you still want to support him.

◈ I sadly will not, I can't bring myself to keep looking away from that attitude. I'm sorry I won't be supporting the rest of the team either. I know it's not their fault for working with Jello but supporting the series, as small as it is now, is supporting him. I am keeping this drawing up to inform people in the fandom and because I'm actually proud of this drawing.

a costume outfit for molly. I'd like to think Phoenica bought her a dress for her birthday.

I really like epithet erased. It's a really nice series and I don't have money to support it. (magic and dark arts don't make money, unfortunately) so, please support them and their Kickstarter for their book here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/epithet-erased-pop/epithet-erased-prison-of-plastic.

⨀ some illustrations tests I did back in 2022. Back then I wanted to make some costume playlist CDs to play in the car and at home. They were made to be CD covers. They have been...a moderate success. not the best, not the worst.

I think I'll include the playlists in a reblog in the future...

⨀ a random hand-drawn Martin animation test I did to de-stress back in 2022.

incoming spam and updates

⨀ Hello, Salut, it's Inanna.

⨀ As you have probably noticed. I'm trying to update my social media. Normally I would try to queue them, so I don't accidentally do an avalanche of spam towards my followers.

⨀ However... my procrastination towards social media has reached the point of emergency. I needed to get the backlog out to make posting easier for me, as I tend to mentally drag my feet when it comes to actually speaking online. Old habits die hard, partially lurker online tendencies.

⨀ I have finally graduated collage this year after having the year before off due to a minor mental health crisis that had brewed over the past few years that too me out of commission but that is besides the point…my job now includes being more active online, thus this…

⨀ my apologies for the incoming spam. Prepare for rapid impacts over the coming days.

⨀ the character design sheet from the Yuzu contest from a year ago. not my best work but I do really like these designs.

⨀ I love the tasteloids, I wish I was better with Utau because I'd happily make some covers with bitter. Bitter, salty, pepper, and yuzu are my favorites. salty's birthday is one day before mine! (I'm Dec. 2!)

⨀ I always wanted to do one of these. not too happy about it. but I might remake it one day. Damn Krita...

⫸ I really got into the Magnus archives these past couple of years. I still haven't finished it! I'm halfway through season 3 (I got spoiled enough to know about season 5, I'm very much of the opinion that getting spoiled is nothing like experiencing the thing itself), I stalled around the episode with Tim's statement because my mental health got worse at the time and his statement was too much for me at the time.

⨀ I finally finished it the other day and I'll pace myself through the rest of the series! I really want to listen to the Magnus protocol but I wanna finish tma first!

⨀ Also, I hate how this one turned out...I might remake it one day...

⨀ the character was a cyclops so I couldn't resist not drawing her with my favorite cyclops, Iris from Ruby Gloom. I loved that show growing up! might do more ruby gloom doodles in the future.
