Surprise!!!

So, a friend of mine who goes by Modthorne, Clover, or The Eevee Breeder (depending on where you find her) made a request for me to draw one of her OCs some years ago (God knows how many), and I finally cranked it out!  😄  Say hello to defense attorney Lillian Goodwood!

If you’re an Ace Attorney fan, you may recognize her pose -- it was inspired by another young lawyer by the name of Mia Fey!

The shading is also modeled after hers, as you may have noticed.

The background is my attempt at recreating the defense’s bench from the game:

I have to say, the ability to use layers in Krita makes it a lot easier to draw something from a picture -- all you have to do is place the picture in front of the layer you’re drawing on and change its transparency to somewhere around 50% (that’s what I prefer, anyway), and it’s just like tracing something on paper.  That being said, drawing the shading for the metal parts of the poles was quite the opposite of easy.  😮‍💨  Definitely a fun challenge, though, and I always love those.  😊

And finally, Lillian’s design was based on two different things: A drawing made by Da_Hybr1d, a friend of Modthorne’s...

...and an avatar she made herself using Kisekae.

So anyway, who is this lovely young attorney?  In the words of Modthorne, who was nice enough to share some info about her when I asked her, “she aspired to be a DA when she was a little kid because she admired Phoenix Wright, but at 13 a tragedy struck and changed her mind, making her want to be a prosecutor instead for a while.  However, at 17 she was defended and given closure by Apollo, which gave her a lot to think about, about herself and her future.  Finally, when she graduated law school, she held her head high as the defence attorney she was always destined to be.”

The one in the picture, in other words.  😉

I realize you may not share my excitement, but the fact that I finally made good on my promise to draw Modthorne’s character makes me want to put on a huge grin!  I don’t feel up to taking a picture of myself at the moment, though, so I’ll just use the emoji.  😁  Hopefully I’ll get the chance to do more requests down the road (and maybe even commissions) but it feels good having this one done.  Hope you like it!
