Edgeworth Art Style Redraw (2026-01-14, 2026-01-16 – 2026-01-18)
The Ace Attorney games are a fascinating article of the online zeitgeist. I've often seen the characters used as a conveyance for meme templates, to the extent that "Ace Attorney arguments" are their own genre. Through these memes, I've picked up a sidelong understanding of the characters in these games.
Toward the tail end of 2025, I began to check out the Ace Attorney franchise, and by 2026-01-04, I made it to the credits of the original game. From here, I enough context for me to understand who these characters were.
Even before I formally experienced him, I knew that the "demon prosecutor" Miles Edgeworth was a character that piqued my interest, and upon completing the game, I could verify this interest. It is for this reason I opted to redraw one of his courtroom sprites in the style of Spaghetti Ice, the product of which is depicted here.
Design notes
Many male figures in the Ace Attorney franchise have fairly broad proportions. In translating Edgeworth's design to the style of Spaghetti Ice, I made a judgment call on how much of his figure is actually broad and how much of it is a byproduct of the games' art style.
Also, in adapting Edgeworth's sprite into my art style, I was able to identify key characteristics of my art style. Such elements include:
The application of concave lines when appropriate (e.g. cravat, shoulders).
The use of color harmonies in backlighting.
Exaggerated angles (e.g. hair back).
Sidelong mouths.
Stylized proportions (e.g. eyes, head).

Naomi (2024-08-14 – 2024-08-17)
Overview
Character: Naomi Katayama
Character designer: Gravity Monkey
Inspiration
The inspiration behind this drawing is convoluted:
I use a test account while at work.
Each test account needs a first and last name. As my go-to for persona identities is Vic, I have a test account in Vic's likeness.
One way I use the test account is to shop for products. Most of the products used in testing are common office fixtures such as computers, office chairs, and coffee makers.
In using the test account, I'm compelling Vic to shop for coffee makers. This is funny, as this interaction is contrary to Vic's established characterization as an aficionado of tea.
While Vic doesn't drink coffee, he knows another character who does: Naomi. Thus, to get me off his back, he orders a coffee maker for the purpose of gifting it to Naomi.
Design notes
Brush used (shading): Gauche
Naomi incorporates design elements similar to those of my characters; she has exciting hair and wears a turtleneck and long coat. In retrospect, this made her design less interesting to draw compared to a character with design elements I haven't drawn before.
I worked on Naomi's shading partially over a remote connection. Due to the low fidelity of the image resolution, I had to focus on large blocks of color over small details. Ultimately, I think the practice helped ensure the image looked interesting at multiple levels of scale.
I was inspired by Jhudora from Neopets when deciding which colors to use for Naomi's hair.

Bogus (2024-07-28)
Overview
Character: Bogus
Character designer: @yuiotj
Design notes
Bogus is fun to draw since he has human shapes but is abstract enough to not commit to human-specific rules of art.
Bogus is fun to pose since elements in his design allow for dynamic poses, such as his hood, cloak, and tabard.
The hatching on the image is inspired by the hatching in Yu's art style.

Miscellaneous notes
Between the dour black, chalky textures, and angular shapes, this sketch uses traits remarkably similar to German Expressionism.

Kiwi Art Trade (2024-05-18)
A sprite of Kiwi's character Ishi, loosely drawn in the style of Rivals of Aether. This image acts as my half of an art trade between me and Kiwi.
Design notes
For the most part, Ishi's design translated cleanly into the style of pixel art. The large blocks of black blending together were my main concern, but in the end, the design incorporated enough elements to remain distinct at pixel art resolutions.
I had difficulty adapting Ishi's thin strands of hair to pixel art resolutions. They looked jagged if depicted as one pixel-wide strands, and they looked too full if depicted as solid shapes. After revisiting the sprite with fresh eyes, I decided that spriting the hair as solid shapes was the better option.

Illustration – Liliana (2024-02-16 – 2024-02-18)
Character: Liliana
Character designer: @amemcake
Design notes
The theme of this art trade was spring. For each image, the artist would draw the other person's character with a flower matching their personality. Options ame listed included lily-of-the-valley, forget-me-nots, gladiolus, and honeysuckle. Between these options and Liliana's color palette, I thought the blue and yellow of forget-me-nots would complement the purple in Liliana's design the best.
The theme of the art trade got me out of my comfort zone. As flowers were a major part of the image, I decided I would draw inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement of art. Because of this, I would also be drawing a decorative frame around the subject, in addition to drawing the unfamiliar subject of flowers. As I worked on the flowers and frame, I simultaneously drew and learned how to draw these elements in my own style.
At first, I had trouble bringing the foreground subject and background together. Eventually, however, I was able to bring both elements together to a degree I considered acceptable.
Ultimately, ame seems happy with the result, and that's what matters!
