"Time is ever-shifting, yet only amidst the snow-capped mountains and jagged cliffs does the despair and sorrow of the past still dwell, frozen in stone."
Sorry for being away for so long! However, I can finally share that work on the comic is still very much in progress, and I’m ready to show you some of my concept art.
[Rises from the grave] Is the Tron fandom active on Tumblr because I've been doing nothing but make Tron art for the past 6 months and I feel like I'm going to go insane
after the big reveal at the end of 5-5... goddamn no one in ace attorney can catch a break. the whole "erm actually "fool bright" has been dead the whole time and the phantom was right under your nose wearing his face" is way more horrible than just bobby being the phantom---like that means bobby fulbright was a real guy who really was like that(at least on the surface) yet no one on the main cast ever met him or realized they were being duped. and the body being so disfigured that it took a year to ID it... bro...
oh and the possibility that real bobby was masking and the phantom mimicked that, as no one apparently knew real bobby well enough to realize he'd been replaced
and revisiting previous cases knowing the end is also a little sickening---like when the phantom talks about redeeming and rehabilitating simon ,when in reality the guy who was supposed to be in charge of believing in you and reintroducing you to society is actually your nemesis who you've been hunting for 7 years, killed your mentor, orphaned an 11 y/o, and put you on death row. i think that would fuck with you at least a little
i've seen headcanons that bobby was alive and held captive or the like, and yk what sure maybe bobby went on a suspiciously long vacation for a year and came back and everyone lived happily ever after. simon deserves at least one nice thing
never explicitly said whether simon had ever met real bobby or not but idk which one is worse: finding out you've been talking to an impostor the whole time and have no idea what the real guy was like or that you never noticed the switch between real and impostor
i've still got bones to pick with the phantom's portrayal in 5-5 like how supposedly arresting this one guy would end the dark age of law or how his lack of emotions was supposed to explain the crazy things he did or how stupidly easy it was to catch an international spy who had escaped capture for 7+ years and could put on other people's faces
but this was a pretty interesting flavor of aa villain i think especially being both an unknown unnamed faceless third party yet also one of the most beloved and familiar characters from the game---reminded me a bit of 3-5 where you're busy proving the defendants innocent and then you realize oh shoot who does that leave to be the guilty party then
don't do ship things usually but after the big reveal i can see it
the dynamic between simon and phantom bobby during all of dd was questionable but if all of the circumstances were different and it was real bobby instead and no one was dead or on death row or wearing someone else's face or holding the remote for electric shackles i think they would’ve been pretty silly. foolish even
Enjoy my artistically scary mega beedrill. Did this all in pencil in about an hour and a half. Sometimes you just get moments where you have to draw insanely detailed nightmare fuel. I'm honestly very proud of how it came out.
At long last, a new Yori: Hidden pic! Quorra introduces Yori to Radia, leader of the ISOs!
There is a scene in the Tron: Evolution game that zooms in on Radia’s face when she is connected to the Grid. It really reminded me of the MCP from Tron but, this time, she is a benevolent entity. So, I wanted to incorporate both versions of Radia in this image.
On a personal note, the reason why I had left the Yori: Hidden series alone until now was because the passing of Cindy Morgan hit me pretty hard. That’s why I diverted to the Sam and Quorra pics (which I would like to do more of) and the Bat-Tron series.
Even making the Yori: Hidden tribute image for the Always zine was pretty difficult for me. The Chat image was a jump ahead chronologically from the Hidden images I had planned to make, but it seemed like the most appropriate image of Yori (and Cindy) that I should create as a memorial.
So, I’ve finally come back to the Hidden series and I can now view it with fresh eyes. I realised that this series is a good way to honour Cindy and keep her in our memories, even though she’s no longer with us.
I hope you enjoy this new piece, which carries on from my previous Esc image. At some point, I’ll finish writing the story that goes with this piece and post a reblog with both.
More Yori: Hidden art to come (when I have the time)! Thanks for listening.
