Erm... the disembodied arm in Objectionopoly... is kinda disturbing... Other than that, that's some great Photoshopping.
I never thought of it that way. I didn't want to use the traditional Monopoly arrow, so I figured Phoenix's objecting arm would do just fine. Thanks for your comments.

Perhaps try putting a link to here in your sig? That's what I'd probably do if I created a thread.

I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the idea. I'll get to work on doing that. I was just about to open photoshop and work on something new. Maybe I'll try to make something Christmas related. I don't know, but I think it will be AA related.

As I commented on your DA, I love it. It's a funny idea and nicely done. I like the names, designs and stuff you chose very much!
Spoiler: Photo Manipulation: Edgeworth
All of them are acceptable done and very funny ideas. Thumbs up for a good laugh!
Spoiler: Photo Manipulation: Makoto
Again, nicely done and very entertaining.
Spoiler: Photo Manipulation: Makoto/Edgeworth
*giggle* Sweeet.
Spoiler: Dr. Hotti is bad (and I'm going to hell).
Again a funny thingy, nicely made.
Spoiler: Sigs
I really like those, since I'm a fan of simply designed sigs. Although I would say the one with Edgey and Mia is a bit TOO simple, but that's just my opinion. I really like the patterns and colors you used on the other ones. And the last one is pretty funny.
Spoiler: Avatars
Haha, the first one made me giggle. AND I totally agree with it. Good work, interesting background pattern.
Your current one ... Hm, I'm not sure, something irks me about it. It's not bad and I like the idea, but I feel like something is missing there. Or the motive is just a bit too big for something like an avatar. Yeah, I think this would look better as a sig.

Thanks you for all your comments. I try to stick to simple backgrounds because I don't know how to do anything complicated yet. To keep them from being too simply (like the Edgeworth/Mia one) I play around with colors and filters until I achieve an effect that I'm pleased with. I usually go into it only knowing what colors I want (which I draw from the characters in the work) and then I play around with Photoshop.
The current avatar lacks a distinct background; it's just the gradient tool and the blur tool on young Edgeworth. It would probably work better as sig or even a wallpaper.
I should have some new things up later today. They are more parody items, but I still need to do some tweaking on them before I feel they will be presentable. They'll still be rough drafts, but I want to make them the best they can possibly be first.

On this subject, I'm gonna stick my nose in for a second.
I don't find it to be too simple.
And now, I shall back this comment with at least a smidgen of theory, etc. (condensed)
The graphics of Edgeworth and Mia balance each other out well and the fade color works well with the graphics.
The difference in shape at the edges between the two (the white space, as it is called) on the sides adds some variety, though it's still a fairly symmetrical design.
Text, text, text. I love you.
Many people always center, which isn't necessarily bad but is very overdone... and people have an assumption that centering works better than aligning to the left or right.
The text, especially when combined with the graphics... works very well left-aligned as opposed to centered or right.
Actually, I believe centering would look really off in that one.
(On the subject of centering, the centering in the rest of the sigs works well with their designs).
... buwha, you wanted constructive criticism/comments, eh? Thar it be.
That wasn't very condensed, was it...?
Quick question: How did you do the background on the Klavier and Franziska sig?

Thank you for your con crit. I'm not a big fan of centering either, I just place the text where I think it looks the best in the overall composition of the work. With the Mia and Edgeworth one, I wanted to show him in the dark and her in the light to almost show that she was no longer here, but that he remembered her fondly. It's a head canon thing, what can I say.
The Klavier/Franziska one was pretty simple. I did a black/purple gradient diagonally. Then I used the Filter>Sketch>Graphic pen to make it look that way. I adjust it in the Graphic pen menu to my liking and then hit OK and it came out like that. You can adjust the light/dark balance, the stroke length, and the stroke direction.

You're welcome ^_^
It sounds like you naturally have a good eye.
Your wanting to show him dark/her light did convey that message very well.
Ah, good ol' head cannon.
I don't think that I've ever used the Graphic pen filter before.
But it looks like I should definitely give it a try. Thanks. ^_^

Basically, its a game where each player is a roomate in an apartment. You try to earn points (slack) by doing activities and buying items. This past summer, I decided I wanted to make a Phoenix Wright version of this game, but didn't have the skills necessary to make the cards looks nice. I've since learned more tricks with Photoshop, so now I present to you some sample cards from the game.
I cleaned each card type and made them a base so I can make future cards. I had to redo the gradients on each so they would be smooth. Before I fixed them they were very pixelated. The only things I have not edited on the cards are: the Card Types, Slack number, Cost, and Image box. I did clean the inside of the image box so it would be a uniform color. I'll change the font later when I can find an approriate replacement. For now I'm using Comic Sans for the new text. Any suggestions on font that would match closer to the original text would be appreaciated.
Job Cards: What job your character holds in the game. I wasn't sure if sprite art or official art would look better.
Person Cards: People you invite into your room or who enter by other means. They can be good or bad.
Activity Cards: Vary in type, but basically what you can do to earn Slack. I made one of Tres Bien because in the original game there is a Cafe cards. There are also several Nookie cards in the game, so I decided to make one as well. I'm not sure which picture go with for this one, so I want to hear from you guys. What would be the funniest?
Thing Cards: Things you can buy in the game. I know you really can't buy an Attorney's Badge, but just think of the price as the fee Phoenix had to pay to get his paperwork processed. You can buy other types of things in the game too (Food, Booze, and other generic items).
Whenever Cards: These are cards that you can play at anytime during the game, even when it isn't your turn. They can cancel another player's actions or do other things beneficial to you or to other players as well. I couldn't decided which picture I liked best, and the third one I saved because I thought it looked cool. I didn't even think of layering the images in this way, it was just an accident.
I used quotes come from the games as flavor text (except for the ones on the activity cards). Let me know what you think of these. I worked very hard on them, (about seven to eight hours, but most of that was cleaning each card type and maticulously cleaning the Phoenix and Mia sprites). Any suggestion on how to clean things fast, but efficiently (i.e. not loosing important pixels) would also be appreciated.

That could work. All the Chez games, as my friends and I call them, have a G theme. There is Chez Geek (the regular one), Chez Goth (a goth/emo themed one), Chez Greek (college themed), Chez Grunt (military themed), and Chez Guevara (guerilla warfare themed).
When I thought about it over the summer I remember thinking Chez Gyakuten might be good, but I'm open for suggestions. I have a file somewhere on computer where I kept ideas for other cards. I know I have all the nookie ones mapped out, but if you guys have hilarious suggestions for those or other cards I'll gladly listen.

Huh, I don't even own it. A good buddy of mine does.
Reminds me that I haven't played the game in a while ... Hmmm ...
With those cards ... Just make sure that you include epic quotes. AND COFFEE.

Of course, of course. I want to make a job card for each character type, so there will be an Edgeworth, Mia, Maya, Godot, Gumshoe, basically all the main characters will be job cards and the witnesses/clients will be Person cards.

These are both gifts to other CR members. Edgeworth is for crouton, and I based his card off the Corporate Drone character. The real card's benefit is being able to draw an extra card at your turn. However, I thought the Nookie bonus combined with that famous quote would be a much nicer gift.
Daryan is for crescendio, and I based his card off the Model character from Chez Goth. On the orignal card, it is clothes and shinies that give the character a slack bonus. I thought the new item types suited Daryan better. It took me a while to find a good quote, but I think that one sums him up perfectly.
In reality you would think that Daryan would have less free time, but I guess you can rationalize it to the fact that he's not always pursuing rockstar things. You would also think that Daryan makes more money because he is a Rockstar and a Detective, but let's just pretend that his detective salary is dismal and the royalites from the band make up the rest of his income. I guess I could have made his income variable, but the card I based it off of did not have that.

I think I'm going to do one for Apollo next. I have an idea based on one of the Chez Greek cards that's perfect for him. In fact, I might make that my next project. That game has several cards that would make great Ace Attorney cards.

The known main characters: Edgeworth, Gumshoe, Mikumo.
The known other characters: Franziska, Makoto, Ichiru, Zinc.
I would have done one of Oldbag, but she doesn't have an new GK art yet.
If you want to use any of these feel free to do so, but please give me credit for them (and host the image on your own site (photobucket, tinypic, etc.).
Also, this is something I made for Ceres. I used his Older Godot sprite (with permission) to make it. I changed the text on the card slightly (changed weed to booze.)

Thanks. At first I did that opacity thing we talked about, but then I discovered I could blend the color like that if I chose the Luminosity option for the layers. I'm not sure how you would achieve the same effect in GIMP though, but I could do some screen caps of it in Photoshop to show you what I'm talking about, only if you want me to though.

I like the background effect of the avatars, altough it's a bit too metallic in my opinion.
And about the stuff about GIMP: There's an extension for GIMP which turns the layout into the one that Photoshop has. So, as long as GIMP has the functions and features you're talking about, it works the same way in GIMP as long as you use that extension.

Looks like it. I like the avatars. However, on the Franziska avatar, the grey splotch near her nose looks a bit awkward-less like an intentional brush mark and more like you missed a spot when recoloring the art.

Ah, did someone have fun with the plastic wrap filter recently? Looks like it. I like the avatars. However, on the Franziska avatar, the grey splotch near her nose looks a bit awkward-less like an intentional brush mark and more like you missed a spot when recoloring the art.

However, on the Franziska avatar, the grey splotch near her nose looks a bit awkward-less like an intentional brush mark and more like you missed a spot when recoloring the art.Yes, I had a lot of fun with the plastic wrap tool. I'm not sure how that splotch go there. After making the first background (playing around with clouds and layers to make water), I re-adjusted the hue for each picture. I put the character image on top and set it to Luminosity in Photoshop which makes the images look like the color of the background. I guess I'll have to see if changing the hue on that one made an unitentional grey spot. More like though, I probably pressed the wrong key and didn't notice it. I think that happened to the Edgeworth one at first, but it was such a big error that I went back and changed it.
Right now I'm working on an image manipulation for a prompt on LJ. I'm almost done with it, but I still need to add some details to it. I might post it here, along with some other fills in the same vein, but I don't want to crowd my topic too much.

They're all very good, just one thing that's bothering me is that on your Gyakuten Kenji avatars, the plastic wrap backgrounds are all positioned exactly the same place; you can see it well with Ichiru and Zinc. I just think positioning them differently may add a more profound uniqueness to all of them.
Happy new year! ^_^

Are you saying move the characters or move the backrounds into different positions?
With Mikumo and Makoto, I didn't have a choice because their art cuts off at that edge. I'll play around with reposition the others that are more flexible though. Franziska is stuck in her spot because of the same issues as those mentioned earlier, but I can move Gumshoe, Ichiro, and Zinc. I can also see about moving the backgrounds too. There's a reason why I never flatten my photoshop layers.

Here are some Gyakuten Kenji avatars that I made. The background was an experiment in filters, layers, and colors.
The known main characters: Edgeworth, Gumshoe, Mikumo.

I love the Gumshoe one the best. (He's my favorite character.) They're all really good though. ^^

I'm glad you like it. I plan on posting some different ones from the previous sections once I get them uploaded to photobucket. If you want to use Gumshoe as your avatar, you are welcome to. You just have to save it to your own account or tiny pic and I would appreciate credit. That's only if you want to use it though.

Not being familiar with photoshop, I can't help with what tools to use. I meant to move the backgrounds, because all of the boxes have the exact same pattern in the same place. Look at the area where these cirlces are, and you can tell it's the same;
You see?
What tool are you using for the background anyway, does it allow you to change the positions?

That's what I thought you meant. I used several filtering and layering effects to make it look this way: clouds, difference clouds, and plastic wrap. I then changed the hue on each one to make the it match the character. I can move the bagrounds 180 degrees and it does make it look slightly different for a simple edit on a few of the avatars. So far I've changed the girl's and I'll post those changes as an update once I can change some of the others as well.
I wish I could move the background in other positions, but since it is not 200x200 it comes up short if I flip it 90 degrees. Of course, I could just make those avatars smaller, but I like to keep things consistent. Oh well, I'll see what I can do. Nothing says that I can't make the other avatars smaller too.

Cool, I'm glad these could come of use to people.
Also I guess now is as good of a time as any to post the updated avatars I correct from the suggestions of both Nadindi and bibliomaniac.
Franziska's and Mikumo's have been rotated 180 degrees. This seems to have fixed the problem biblio mentioned about the grey splotch on Franziska's nose. I think the art positions are different enough that you can't see the similarities between the two as much as with the originals.
With Ichiru and Zinc I flipped the background clockwise and counter clockwise respectively and then cropped the image to get rid of the blank space that created.
Hopefully this gives them a little more variety than they previously had. I was just having a little fun with the background, but next time I make a set of avatars I will probably put a little more creativity and originality in each of them so they don't end up being clones. Of course, I'm not sure how I'll achieve this using the same filter techniques, but I guess I did a new flitered image for each then they would not look too similar.

Well, especially with this particular type of background you can get variance naturally. Clouds/difference clouds always comes up with a different random image, so if you did that on every avatar it would be different already. You could also experiment with amounts of the plastic wrap filter, or different final filters- I personally like Bas Relief and Chrome, because you can get some pretty cool effects that way. You can also try different types of distortion and lighting effects.
I'll have to try some of those. I'm not sure if I'll update these current avatars or just makes new ones for one of the other games.
