Hello, everyone, I'm Geno. I'm a decent writer of some renown, but with no artistic skills to speak of.

- Geno Creed (Other poses + animations)
- Bee Spellings (Base Sprite)
-Ami Collins (Animations and other poses)


Characters Being Worked On:
Winston Payne: Bibliomaniac
Detective Alvin Simons: saesae
Victoria Hamilton: foxxis
Flash, The Teddy Bear: kirashii
Neal Holt: Ike Liberty???
Maxwell Payne: Ceres
Robert Johnston: Cold 52/SupwithyouSammie
Myst Spellings: Bibliomaniac (on queue)
Katherine Hamilton: Darklord Qwerven


Characters Being Drawn:
Kristine Hamilton: XDGummyDX

I am looking for competent spriters who can produce AJ quality sprites. As you can see, I may have one, but the poor guy cannot do this alone, his schedule being such. So to remedy this problem, I'm going from a single spriter to a spriting team. This way I can speed up the process, and hopefully make my dream of my own games a reality.

Also, I need about one or two more artists to help make my ideas and poorly drawn sketches into works of art that actually look good, and can be interpreted into sprites that much easier. The more, the merrier.

And if you're a competent writer, you can join the project as well.

The project?

Geno Creed, Ami Collins, and Neal Holt: Ace Attorneys.

NOTE: All of the following, except Meekins, belong to me. No stealing.

Geno Creed:
Age: 22
Appearance:
Personality: Easy going, yet stress prone. Sarcastic towards those he perceives as annoying. Loves a challenge, and somewhat introverted. Easily excited as well.
Biography: Geno takes on the defense bench, straight out of law school. His favorite professor from college had connections with a man that owns a law firm, so he joined up, hoping for opportunity. He’s kept to himself for the most part, and doesn’t socialize amongst the other workers, but he’s easily risen the ranks to make junior partner, along with Ami Collins. He’s reluctant to talk about his past, but seems normal to others.


Ami Collins:
Age: 24
Appearance:
(Can always be improved for people that feel they can...)

Personality: Bubbly, impulsive, flirty. Acts ditzy to hide her true intellect. When in intelligent mode, she looks more sharp and collected than “usual”. Even so, she is still a caring person, although uncooperative at times.
Biography: Ami is a woman that knows what she wants, and takes it with deft precision. From an early age, she has shown great aptitude for anything, but decided not to graduate early, as she was given the option of doing at the age of 7. Recently moved up to junior partner with Geno.


Neal Holt:
Age: 39
Appearance: Bald, big, black beard, dark eyes, about 6’3” tall.
Wearing:
Court/Business: Expensive suit, expensive black shoes. Something that screams "Zen".
Young Neal: Haven't decided.
Personality: Serene, yet firm, tends to be very serious. Very fatherly to everyone, even during cross-examinations. Very clear, concise, and articulate, and cares more about helping others than making money.
Biography: A veteran attorney that owns his own law firm. He founded his law firm ten years ago, and has been very successful. Although, behind the success and intellect, he is feels a great sense of loneliness, and secretly longs to find someone to spend the rest of his life with.

Flash, Geno’s Teddy Bear:
Age: 18 (From hand-sewn creation in a craftsman’s workshop)
Appearance:
Wearing: A red ribbon, tied in a bow on the front. The ribbon is around the neck.
Personality: Somewhat mischievous, but well intentioned. Fun loving and outgoing, but tends to be a little in-your-face and uppity.
Biography: Flash was obtained by Geno a long time ago. Flash sprung to life three days after being acquired. Ever since coming to life, him and Geno have been very good friends.

Maxwell “The Titan” Payne:
Age: 25
Appearance: Spiky silver hair, rimless, trendy glasses, approximately 5’7” tall.
Wearing: Black suit, crimson red tie. Maybe even a fedora every now and then.
Personality: A stark contrast of his father, Winston Payne. He is a commanding presence in the court room, and takes his job very seriously. While not being as cocky as his father, he is much more determined. He’s also a bit of a jerk.
Biography: The son of Winston Payne, disgraced prosecutor. His stigma has been a deep one, the failures of his father affecting his chances of success, even in school. So he became determined and sharpened, cynical, and dark. He doesn’t fight for only justice, but he fights for respect and authority, to make the name “Payne” synonymous with success and power.

Prosecutor Winston Payne:
Age: 68
Appearance: Same as always, except now completely bald, save for that little bit on the tippity top of his head that's always been there (exempting Payne when he had a full head of hair).
Wearing: All white. Suit is white, tie is white.
Personality: Very confident as ever, but that last bit is completely destroyed soon.


Victoria Hamilton:
Age: 23
Appearance:http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/aiaagame/victoria.png?t=1231016725


Biography: Ami’s best friend for a long time, and is someone Ami never can say no to. Victoria is also a lawyer at Holt & Co. Law Offices, but still hasn't represented anyone in court thus far. She's very sweet and kind, even if a little soft spoken at times.(Spoilers removed)


Katherine Hamilton:
Age: 52

Bio: Obsessed with literature. Victoria's mother. Very conservative and strict regarding all issues. In childhood, she was secluded by the other children, but gained an extraordinary aptitude for reading. She once found her way to law books, and became entranced with the complexities. However, her seclusion was a bitter one, and she saw the law as something corrupt and perverted. So she set out to be a prosecutor, to make sure that nothing could ever stop her goal of a utopia where crime is non-existent, and that all values are kept traditional and clean.

Robert Johnston:
Age: 27
Appearance:
Bio: (Spoilers Removed) Robert loves games of chance, and sometimes refers to himself as “The House”, due to the infinitesimal chance a defense attorney could beat him.

Detective Alvin Theodore Simons
Age: 32
Appearance: Gangly, intelligent-looking, serious-faced, brown hair, black eyes.
Wearing: Detective hat (akin to Sherlock Holmes’ hat), dressed much like the famed detective.
Bio: Alvin is a cold, business-like detective, and reflects it with his behavior. He investigates with a real passion, and can be rather harsh to those he views as “in his way”, and has a one-track mind. To everyone else, he keeps them at arm’s length, handing out snarky comments and retorts when at his friendliest.

Detective Mike Meekins:
Age: 36
Appearance: Same physique.
Wearing: Same as usual, however, his megaphone is white and blue, instead of white and red. His tie is now brown. He has a band-aid on his cheek (like detective Gumshoe has, but on the other cheek).
Bio: Over a decade of service to the Police Force, many demotions and promotions, and Meekins finally makes detective! However, he’s still his usual self. But his heart is in the right place.

Bee Spellings:
Age: 48
Appearance: Big glasses, dreadlocks, brunette (graying), frail, simplistic dress.
Bio: Wife of Myst Spellings. Killed in first case.

Myst Spellings:
Age: 50
Appearance: Short, stout, big bulby nose. Turns red when upset. Bowler hat and cheap suit.
Bio: A banker. His wife is Bee Spellings.


By the way, taking these requests in effect gives me, genodragon1, the right to use these sprites, art, and anything related to my project in any way I see fit. Thank you to all that contribute!

I'm up for doing Mike Meekins.
Just cause it doesnt look like much work XD.
But how much of him do you want changed?
Just the megaphone and the bandaid?

---

Usually I'd say "sure", but feel free to take some artistic license with it. I can't wait to see it. And welcome aboard (if you're here to stay).

---

Haha I'll take a shot at it.
How many poses, and the color of the uniform?

---

All the ones you see in the GS4 version would be the number I'd suggest.

As for the uniform color, I wouldn't rightly know. On one hand, I'd think it'd be similar to those he has looked up to (Goodman, Gumshoe), but it's all up to you. I'd say maybe a brown or navy, or something else, but whatever it is, it has to be a dark tint.

---

Alrighty then.
I'll get started on it soon.
Maybe tomorrow or even tonight.
Would it be ok if I tried to change his hat a little?
Since he isn't a officer anymore

---

Go right ahead! Although, don't make it Sherlock-Holmes-ish, since that'll be Avlin Simons' trademark of sorts.

---

Haha ok.
I might just take it off all together if that is ok.
I guess I will do two versions just for comparison.

---

Wunderbar! I can't wait to see the promoted Meekins! He deserves it.

His wallet...his job...his girlfriend...*Sniff*

---

i will try out neil holt i kinda think its a interesting oc so i are gunna do dat a little later

---

Righto! I'll put you down on the list.

---

I'm reserving Flash for When Ami's done!
He looks like he'll be fun

---

Ugh...This do looks like fun...BUT!...I guess I'm too busy these days
I got my hands full with my own works and then there is my school works...ugh...
Thak god I don't have any hurry in the social side (a.k.a: LAdies field)

It would have been fun but...oh well...too busy.

---

No problem, I fully understand. If you ever do have time on your hands, just know you're always welcome.

---

I'm coming back from retirement to claim Geno Creed. Obviously not spriting, just drawing. And I pray I can do a better job than I did with Flash. People are my favorite thing to draw, so this should go more smoothly. ^^

---

This looks interesting! :3 Can't wait to see the final results!

Erm, I think I'll be able to do Dect. Simons during the weekend (and Friday, after school).
Sherlock Holmes = <3
I'm really sorry, I can't. D: My time is draining from me, so I don't think I'll be able to do him. </3

And possibly Flash the teddy bear, if I knew how he comes to eye-length. (i.e. Stands on a stool, or he stands on the defense's bench in court. xD)

I reserved Flash!

But I would like to know his scale...

---

I could do Max Payne if you'd like.

That would be awesome! Go right ahead. Since I'm catching this late, I'll PM you as well.

---

Ignore the fedora on the thread. I'm still in the beta process of writing, currently working on Geno's first case. Danke in advance! ^^

---

eh?that good mate?

---

That's pretty good, although if I may make a few suggestions? (Sorry to be nit-picky, I love your work, and am very grateful)



EDIT: Don't worry, Ami had to go through a few prototypes before she was awesome...

---

Almost done with the entire sheet of Meekins.
I just gotta draw the bandaid and such.
Shouldn't be to hard right?
I went with a brownish almost color for his outfit
I hope that is alright.
I can always change it =T

---

Danke. I can't wait to see the new Meekins!

And that's fine. I tend to be nitpicky, but I have faith that the approximation is so close that not much change is needed at all, if any.

---

Oh and I forgot to ask,
do you want him animated, or just the sheet?

---

Both, if possible.

---

I would help, except I stink at spriting...and getting things done on time =D Otherwise, I'd be happy to help.

If you liked, however, it's possible that I could proofread any scripts or anything.

---

I'll be sure to contact you when I finish writing Geno's first case. ^^

---

you like my sprites? im flattered
i just played half life 2 for like a hour so i will fix it up too

---

Coolio!

---

by the way what do you mean by mutton chops?

---

Basically like sideburns without the hair on top of the head. This will also mean more beard on the jaw, rather than it be just a huge goatee like the current prototype has.

---

ahhhhhhhhhhh ok i shall do dat

---

I shall await with bated breath.

---

I'm trying out older Payne right now, just for fun. =D (You don't have to reserve it or anything, I'm just...seeing what happens.)

---

I might try out older Winston, but it's 10 past 1 AM here.

---

Well alright, then. I'll keep him open. Can't wait to see the finished product. ^^



I smell awesome approaching...and don't worry, I'm a patient man, Dramatica.

---

Well, this is what I ended up with =) I can't wait to see how much better Dramatica's is Drammy's.


It was fun =)

---

Awesome! I can't wait to see it animated and stuff, etc. and so forth (A job you can take on if you wish).

And yes, I think we should wait for Drammy as well.

---

Yup.

Plus, I love procrastinating ever so much, so I animated him...=)
