Nmweek Day3: Free Day

nmweek day3: free day

my thoughts: i had a lot of problems with this originally, but once remembering it was a free day, i decided to let myself have fun. this is probably one of the most self indulgent drawings ive made in a while, but i like it a lot. thank you to @spookydetective for coloring this btw!

nmweek day 4: hurt/healing (i wrote the wrong name in the artwork i know i just dont feel like changing it)

my thoughts: so this changed a lot from what i had originally planned but i like it actually. i wasn't having the best art day and struggled with drawing the actual narumitsu in the narumitsu art, but hey, i like it. i was originally going to do something "miles edgeworth chooses death" related but oh well.

spoilers for tgaa/dgs maybe? this is just my theories. just me being sherlock holmes but worse. i haven't even finished the last case of the first game yet, im just trying my best here

okay so, these are my notes (ignore how it changes to red pen, i was using a multicolored pen and the black ink died. but hey, now it pops! it's important after all!)

Okay, so! First up is Susato's father, Professor Mikotoba. If memory serves, he said that he knew something while talking about Kazuma (and Herlock did the same) and LATER in the case the judge mentioned that Kazuma had a mission. Professor Mikotoba most likely knows a few people with lots of power, he said he went to london after all, he most likely met some pretty important people.

This leads me to believe that he knows something about kazuma's supposed "mission". And in the case with Natsume, Herlock mentions how London has a "dark past", and knowing how ace attorney usually runs its stories, that could be part of Kazuma's misson, he WAS a star student training to be a lawyer after all. Why not get the best of the best, right?

Now, what could happen due to a dark past? Isolation. And who, pray tell, was KNOWN for a FIVE YEAR ABSENCE from court? BAROK VAN ZIEKS! Again, knowing how ace attorney stories work, this supposed "dark past" that London has most likely aided in his sudden absence! And around that time is definitely when he got his title as "The Reaper of The Bailey".

Now, going back to Natsume, he says how "Everyone is always watching" and that there are "Ears (or eyes, I can't remember) in the walls". Now, what type of person is everywhere, London Bobbies. Who do they work for? Scotland Yard. Who does SCOTLAND YARD work for?! MAEL STRONGHEART.

In the case with Natsume, Herlock says that while London may be a beautiful place, the bigger the fire, the bigger the shadow (or something along those lines). What's the hottest part of a flame? The center. Who's at the center of law in London? Lord Strongheart.

Another thing; Kazuma and Barok have a lot of similar animations. The way the slam their hand on the table, they both have a sprite with their arms crossed, and even one where they're leaning against the table. Yes, Barok's is more for intimidation and Kazuma's is more from confidence (except for the animation of him leaning against the desk, he's just miserable in that one). But again, knowing how ace attorney writes their stories, similar sprites usually signify some sort of connection. Maybe with the dark past London has?

And about the ring on the end, I'm not too sure about it, but it was mentioned in my post about promise rings. However, it most definitely is important, as that seems to be the case with every detail in this game, no matter how small.

So yeah, that's my theory right there. Idk, just felt like yapping.

nmweek day 6: confession

my thoughts: this is a bit later than they're usually posted because i JUST finished it. JUST NOW. i don't actually have anything to say about it, it didn't change at all, but MASSIVE THANKS to @spookydetective for helping me with figuring this out! thank you bestie, i literally wouldn't have been able it finish it had you not helped me. this didn't turn out much like i wanted it to but i ran out of time so. not much i can do.

Strong Badbid.
