Ace Attorney 2 BATTLE!!!

"Grind the rails, find clues, collect emeralds, and solve the case in this action packed game where nothing is faster than justice!" I had SOOOO much fun making this mash-up. I spent a lot of time learning to replicate the Sonic Adventure 2 art style, and deciding which Ace Attorney character best matched which Sonic character. I love making art, but I rarely do fanart. Whn I do, I always want it to be something that people can have a good chuckle at. I hope this brightens your day. If you'd like to support me, I have large and small prints of this, as well as the emblem as a sticker! SHOP HERE! Tell me what you imagine a game like this would be like. I'll share some additional funnies I made for this later.

Might watch season 2 and 3 when I eventually lose interest in ace attorney

Back to Ninjago ✨

I was drawing this. For 72 full hours (spread out trough like-3 months)

It doesn't look like I put 72 hours into this... (I swear my confidence went like a drunk rollecoaster while making this piece)

But alas, it is done, and I worked too hard not to share it. Behold the elemental alliance. (I can't draw armor. So the design changes are mostly because of that)

I totally got the Masters of Sound and Gravity the first few times, which is quite hilarious cause the Master of Gravity spends quite some of his screentime flying, but oh well.

Also, I tought they were related (for no particular reason) hence the positioning on the picture.

The guy on the left side of the picture was literally listed as "unknown elemental master" and I literally only added him so the proportions were more balanced (also so noone could argue it isn't finished)

I feel like his power was supposed to be lightning (based on the outfit) but then season 6 happened, and he was quietly retconned to make way for libber. I hesitated making it a father daughter situation, with him passing his powers on faster than Cole's grandfather to Lilly, but in the end, settled for making him a Master of Light.

Lilly and her father joined together, but neither of them are sure why it took so long for the power to pass down (probably after or at the very end of the First Serpentine War). They were both the type to understand it's war, and those rarely have a happy ending (in general, these people were kinda forced into this role because of their powers, some of them pretty young) Maybe the late heritance caused issues with Lilly's immune system leading to an early death? 👀🥺

I like to think the old Master of Earth was a mother hen of sons just as Lilly (it's genetic a this point). The above picture happened sometime after Garmadon's banishment.

Libber (or whatever they call the previous Master of Lightning) turned out really cute, I'm probably most satisfied with her (also gave her freckles to match Jay). I feel like we massively missed out on having her be the one to make/power Prime Empire. I mean, I get they wanted to save the mom storyline for MotM, but I'm sure you can write two separate stories revolving around parents. I also believe she joined really young, probably the youngest (and she was a menace. Also imagine if she was friends with the twins, the tragedy)

Wu and Garmadon pretty much have their canon designs (I like that they are dressed the most "traditional" out of everyone) except I added a bit more purple and gold respectively. Also, I'll mention it here, every active elemental masters have eye colours matching their elements, and their pupils are light (giving way to theories about them not even being human). The spinjitzu bros have "rings" around their pupils in the opposite color (purple for Wu, gold for Garmadon) showing the link between them and their powers.

When Garmadon is banished, Wu's eyes become completely gold, affected by their severed connection (and Garm has red eyes, but normally his would have become purple as well) Also, I kinda traced the text on their gi, cause I'm not drawing that from memory 😅

Master of Shadow was one of the first to join the Alliance, but is not the youngest member, she wanted a peaceful solution at the start, and like most of the earlier members, have a more nuanced view on the war, probably even had serpentine acquitances, which is why she looks so sad a lot of the time.

I see Ray and Maya as a kinda golden retriever, black cat dynamic. Maya was incredibly skilled, cold and precise, and one of the deadliest elemental masters (I was cooking up some story about a warrior clan she grew up in, but it's up for interpretation).

Ray meanwhile lives by the principle of "They can't know my next step... if I don't know my next step." Runs in, swords blazing, most people fighting him are just sort of. Perplexed at first.

And of course Maya didn't like him at first, but it's really hard to dislike Ray long term. (Which is how he also became Wu's best friend, despite him trying to hold a 'polite acquitances' type of relationship with the Ems. Ray is just like that) But she fell first.

Either this happened, or he went ahead of the trouble and asked him first.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand (working a lot on this means I had a lot of time to microwave these dudes, this post is looong)

Master of Ice is just that one kind of slightly creepy wise old man, who just... knows stuff. Everyone just sort of accepted that you don't ask him how or why he knows stuff, he just does. Wu and Garmadon have a tendency to follow him around (cause he's pretty similar to their father in a way), which kinda translates to everyone following him around like little ducks (even when he barely socialises with anyone lol).

Design for Master of Ice is inspired by @maydayissleepy, go check out their art!

And I already made a bunch of posts about Hands of Time and the time twins, but design wise, I just made a new one (to avoid the complex armor). When in battle, it's basically impossible to tell the two of them apart. Also, they have heterochromia because they both have two powers technically. The murky brown we see in the show is because they lost the power, but are still technically the Masters of Time, since it never passed on (if the blades broke somehow it would go back to them)

I feel like they joined later (even way later, which is why they clashed so much with the alliance) which is why they aren't mentioned in the early flashbacks (and also cause they didn't exist yet), and went kinda gungho on the war, not really knowing (or caring) for it's nuances.

Anyways, let me know what you think!

You ever farm so good you become a mythical creature

[bluebblurry]

A blue coded character with spiky hair and a happy-go-lucky attitude who always has hope things will turn out right. His best friend is this younger person that’s like a younger sibling to him, and they’re super powerful but they have really bad self esteem issues. Oh! The character also has homoerotic tension with a red coded character with a tragic backstory surrounding a father figure. They’re rivals but also friends after the rival character gains respect for the mc… wait which game was it??

I’m now fairly certain that every Persona protagonist is (or has been) some flavour of depressed/traumatized, with the exception of Chad Narukami

Went to Japan Expo today (anime and more convention) and I had so much fun !!! I was with a friend and my stepdad, cosplayed as a male team aqua grunt from pokémon Alpha Sapphire. I really LOVE pokémon teams, and I found out that there was a WHOLE group cosplaying as various pokemon teams. There was 2 Team Galactic, one Team Skull, at least 6 Team Magma (Omega Ruby) and one Team Aqua from the original Sapphire game ! We took pictures together. At the end, my stepdad and I noticed a duo of Team Magma grunts walking in front of us, so my stepdad said loudly "so what did you say, Team Aqua is the best ?" and lf course the two Team Magmas heard us. It was fun. Also, I had my slowpoke plushie with me. It's my only water-type pokemon plushie. I also found two peiple cosplaying APH FRANCE AND APH ENGLAND WOOHOOO !!!

As for merch, as I said, I found EVERYTHING I was looking for and even more ! I was mostly looking for Pokémon stuff (Blaziken/Torchic and Rayquaza), Sonic and Ace Attorney, and I found all of that and even some Hollow Knight stuff !! Here's what I got :
