Some of my favorites from Huevember this year, guess who just played all the Layton games for the first time

@magpie-trinkets You don't get to hide this in the tags

[Image ID: Tag reading #my injuries were so DS pixelated Graphics that i was Hidden Characterization Detail for a month*. i was lucky to be alive]

Ok so like. I'm busy scouring those HD playthroughs for screencaps I can use for the Layton onion headlines right.

And I notice a detail I never noticed before until I looked at the HD version of this artwork.

Hershel is supposed to look ANGRY here.

I never clocked it, (especially because this is a zoomed in version and the real shot is more distant) I just thought he was looking at the papers with a look of shock, a mindset of curiosity. The brim of his hat kinda obscures the look in his eyes.

But no, he's PISSED when he discovers any coverage about the accident is being suppressed. Like. Visibly pissed. Hershel Layton outwardly showing anger levels of fury.

This version of Hershel seems like he's definitely about to do something about it. And honestly it puts the assault that happened directly after into a whole new perspective for me.

Layton didn't JUST get his ass beat for inquiring, I think it's safe to say he was confrontational about it. For the first time he had let himself be in ages, he probably told someone what was what.

And then he is immediately bestowed with such a harrowing experience as his reward. Which might actually be the reason he avoids confrontation like the plague from then on more than anything else, because being direct almost cost him his life.

Yes it's also about being a gentleman and the social ettiquette of things, but it's probably motivated by a deeper fear of rubbing someone the wrong way and being repaid in pain.

My Katia redraw is getting a lot of love lately so it inspired me to do another! Aurora redraw!!

Boring details under the cut :D

This one is from 2016 as well. I drew it for a Twitter fan activity in the japanese fandom called something like "Late Night Layton Drawings in 60 minutes", in which every day a bot run by the legendary Maki-san would provide you with a Laytonesque theme and you'd have 60 minutes to draw it. The bot was discontinued in 2019, but if you search the hashtag #レイトン版深夜のお絵描き60分一本勝負, you can still find some cool art.

Because of that, I knew how long I had taken to paint this, so I challenged myself to do it in the same time, which is "just enough under 2 hours that it could plausibly pass as 1 hour". It is also clear from the character errors that I drew this from memory, so I also did the new one without more reference than the old version. The drawing tablet is the same.

It makes me feel very happy seeing these side by side. I'm not the best artist, but I'm much closer to the artist that I want to be than I was all those years ago, because I kept doing it :")

Do You Know This Anime?

I had Tom Cardy's Perception Check in my head and then I was thinking about this post by @spaceistheplaceart about Luke's height and I guess this was the natural consequence:

The lyrics to the song are in the Tom Cardy video if you want to read them (the part I used is 0:56-1:18)

Hershel wears the same outfit every single day but the only thing different is that he has so many funky socks. He doesn’t show anyone but he knows

Been thinking about it and just never posted, but hey Layton fandom: What's your guys' favorite ost? Can be from any spin-offs, just has to be related to Layton games. Oh and Eternal Diva counts too :)

Mine's probably the Miracle Mask main theme.

I cry they're so best bro

Happy 15th anniversary of Eternal Diva! 🎉

I didn't even realize it was today! Happy anniversary everybody!! :3c

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.

Every time I consider even for a fleeting moment dedicating my life to academic research, I meet someone, or I message someone, or I happen to see a tweet like "so yeah they sent me across the ocean floating in a cardboard box for training six months back, and also now my funding is over so I'm less than jobless because I'm still working my thesis".

And I have to go: "Actually, no thank you."

Every time.
