I Just Read The First 3 Parts, This Comic Is So Amazing! You've Really Captured These Characters Well

I just read the first 3 parts, this comic is so amazing! You've really captured these characters well imo, and the comics art style is also very striking :D

I'm finally close enough to having this finished to be happy to start posting... Comic I've had on the back burner for the past few months. Part 1 out of 3.

PART 2 PART 3

Set a little while after SL-9.

Final NRMT poster with all panels! Print here <3 Did anyone notice... anything about the bottom right panel? It's not too obvious but I wanted it to at least be noticeable within the poster itself that something is... 'off' if you compared it with the other panels. And there's a reason. Honestly it's just about a silly headcanon of mine, and it is also a silly way for me to include it but... I'm silly myself. Under the cut, the hanakotoba notes for the flower panel... and other stuff. The other stuff isn't important really but it was funny for me.

Already talked about this in the flower panel post - but these are the main things I took into consideration when choosing the flowers:

3 sunflowers specifically mean 'I love you' - so I also added 3 chrysanthemums to complement them. By the by, among other things, sunflowers mean 'passion', 'love', 'adoration', 'I only have eyes for you' - while white chrysanthemums mean 'truth'. Red chrysanthemums signify 'love' but I opted against them in favor of the following flowers.

The small blue flowers are forget-me-nots, which, other than the obvious, mean 'true love' in hanakotoba. 

The pink flowers are Japanese primroses ('sakurasou' - they get their name because of their resemblance to cherry blossoms), which mean 'first love', 'longing', 'purity', 'youthful love', 'the beginning of youth and sadness'...

Also, here the nmweek24 tag on the blog to see the posts for the individual panels with additional info/behind the scenes: https://periwinkla.tumblr.com/tagged/nmweek24 note: there are a few minor adjustments I made for the final poster compared to the individual panels (you probably won't even be able to see them honestly) ---Sentimental story time--- The reason I wanted to do something special for nrmt week was because tomorrow (the 8th) will mark the day I first started playing AA1. And I'm so happy I got into it! Funny story: my first exposure to AA was the anime (almost 10 years ago!) I got to the end of the first 12ish episodes, obviously was very confused because it's not meant to be consumed by someone who didn't play the games, and promptly abandoned ship and forgot all about it. Completely. I even forgot I had watched it! until I got to Turnabout Goodbyes because I had a vague recollection of having seen the boat photo. But other than that, complete oblivion (my memory is quite terrible in general). Basically, last year I had finished Detective Pikachu 1 and wanted something similar because I usually play classic jrpgs and needed a change of pace... AA1 was my choice. As I mentioned, I remembered absolutely nothing from the anime (I had no idea Mia died, so, imagine the shock). I went completely blind till I finished with AJ and AAI1-2. Honestly, it's a beautiful experience when you play games without knowing anything about them. It feels like the good old days. I absolutely don't believe that study that says spoilers don't spoil the experience. Also I find it nice that I got into nrmt without outside prompt, because I find it funny that my brain needed to play through 6 games in order to see it. I seem to have prosciutto on my eyes (Italian idiom). In my defense I usually don't look for romance in stories and ship stuff unless it's very obvious. Nrmt comes too close to it to ignore. Ok, end of nostalgic sentimentality. ...And here's the 'other stuff': This print was the thing I said I had hidden 'in plain sight'. It has been on the print shop since... Thursday. 'It was there all along'-well more like half-along really <3

Ah this is so perfect! I'm glad you enjoyed my headcanon and make this super cute comic as a result :D

Art request for @cyandreamz >:] Thank you so much for this, it is a very fitting headcanon

Also for anyone curious this is the message I translated and then copied! (I didnt think excessively hard about it but i knew i wanted to write SOMETHING. also i know zero german so if there are spelling and grammatical errors I am sorry)

✧ Maya Fay sketch✧

Today I felt like drawing, though unfortunately my left wrist was not as healed as a thought it was last time :/ so I had to use my right hand for this. on the positive I think this came out really good considering that fact :D it's almost Identical to my left hand art style!!!

As for the drawing myself I felt like drawing another female character from Ace Attorney and I did consider drawing Ema at first (specifically her AA4/AJ design cuz she's one of my fave AJ characters, maybe fave idk, it's hard to pick a fave, so many great characters, even in just AJ alone) but than I changed my mind because I wanted to do something purple and Maya is the purple girl!

Also I gave her heterochromia cuz like Phoenix, her canon eye colour doe's change (haven't played SoJ yet, still on DD but, I've seen the official art of her for SoJ) and I notice for Phoenix this has lead to many drawing him with heterochromia, so I decided to apply this logic to Maya and, draw her with complete heterochromia and, Phoenix with central heterochromia (instead of complete heterochromia), because I thought that would be a fun way to draw Phoenix (but I accidentally did incorrectly in my last two sketches of him, oh well I'll do it ✧Wright✧ next time).

Maya if she was allowed to slay

More Right hand sketches

Even more sketches plus context under cut

So my left hand Is still healing and I still wanna do art and, train my right hand so I've been continuing to draw right handed and, getting experimental/mix media/just have fun with the art process at the same time :D.

My fave sketches are of course the four above the cut (especially the one's I did on the 1st and 2nd of this month) but I like all of them :D. Also here are paint samples cuz I always sample new art supplies in my sketchbook and please note I do not agree with the dark pink being called Magenta, that's just what the paint tube says so it's listed as such.
