It occurs to me that the official English translations for Ace Attorney have been sleeping on a brilliant bit of wordplay.

There is so much discussion throughout the series over a guilty verdict and what it means to be a prosecutor. Is a prosecutor's role to always secure the guilty verdict? What does a prosecutor's guilty verdict mean to them? How far should a prosecutor go for their guilty verdict?

...

You know what's another word for guilty verdict?

Conviction.

What does a prosecutor's conviction mean to them? How far should a prosecutor go for their conviction? Is there anything a prosecutor should hold more close to their chest than their conviction?

...

Ace Attorney localizers, what are you doing?

Doopcember 15: Party

On an adventure.

I'm back!

But I don't think I can put these out daily. Moving has its problems, so it's been busy, but mostly I just have things to do and family visiting. I think I'll just take my time and make art at my own pace.

🎶Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat—oh wait, wrong song. 😅 Anyway, here’s a partridge in a pear tree that I painted as an ornament design! Oil on wood, 4 inches round.

Bird #58 - the Black-Throated Magpie-Jay (LC)

These gorgeous corvids can be seen in western Mexico, though some escapees have established a population in San Diego. They are usually found in flocks, and are "impossible to overlook" when being noisy, especially with their ridiculously long tail and vibrant blue-ness.

On the water.

This will be the last one before I pause. Moving is going alright but super busy. I'll resume the challenge when I can. Thank you all for looking forward to these so far 🥰

Swallow, swift, nightjar & house martins 🪶

A drawing commissioned by Gabo Wildlife, an organisation working tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate migratory birds. Swifts and nightjars especially are some of my favourite birds and it was wonderful to focus on them with this piece

i need you all to know i absolutely lost my goddamn mind

Walking home.

Alright, I have something less fun to tell. I'm moving house this week, so I think at some point I'll have to pause the daily posts. I started working on this early, so I still have a few drawings ready to be posted before I run out. But I'll focus on getting moving done first before settling in the new place and getting to draw again.

I want to enjoy this as much as possible, so I don't want to rush them. I know some of you look forward to seeing the new post everyday, so I'm really sorry about pausing :( but regardless, Doopcember will continue even past December if needed.

Thank you for all your support for it! It makes me happy that you cared about this silly little project ❤️
