Justin Case: Ace Attorney (UPDATE 13/1/10: Pages 10,11&12)

WitcheyMarina · Post by **WitcheyMarina** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 5:04 pm

After being gone for so long, I am finally updating the comic. I'm back in business!

Notes:

1. Credit to my friend, Magitek, for giving me the name idea.
2. Some of the episodes may have some explanations for odd things that didn't make sense at the end.
3. Anyone who can guess the name puns get cookies.

Note: The transparency of the text boxes that start in Page 20 of Starting Turnabout aren't actually transparency. They're just bits of the picture that got their brightness turned down. :-P

Page 23 and onwards are transparent, however, and the font has changed a little.

Fillers:

To Shoot Or Not To Shoot... Oh forget it, just shoot! - Done in Tajiri Ami's comic style 'cause, well, she's guest-starring!

If you click reply instead of quick reply you go to a page that let's you pick smilies.
I memorize some of the codes for em sometimes. :godot:

The comic looks interesting. I'll have to come back when the story starts.

(YES! IT WORKED!!!!!)

And I got Page 1 up! Plus, I think I may have started a new game with this comic. MWAHAHAHAHAHA-*cough* *cough* I've gotta stop doing that.

Nice sprite edit! I wonder what the main character is going to look like?
I look forward to it!

Ah i love it :D

WitcheyMarina · Post by **WitcheyMarina** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 1:56 pm

YAY! PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY READING IT! ...Sorry, hyperness. Anyway, I've put up pages 2 and 3! I might post the fourth page later on or over the weekend depending on when I finish the poses for the witness sprites. I'd work on it here if it weren't for the fact that it was school and I didn't put the sheet on my memory stick-thingy. On another note, SCHOOL IS TORTURE! :sob:

Donald Serrot · Post by **Donald Serrot** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 2:17 pm

MORE! 8D
I really like this! *waits eagerly*

Magitek · Post by **Magitek** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 4:38 pm

Even though I've already had a sneak peek at what comes next, I'm still eagerly awaiting more.
I will keep an eye on this topic! :inspect:

Oh, and I know what the name pun for the mentor-type character is.

WitcheyMarina · Post by **WitcheyMarina** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 10:18 am

Hey, Magitek! And YAY! I FINALLY FINISHED THE WITNESS SPRITE AND NOW I CAN POST THE NEXT TWO PAGES! WHY AM I SHOUTING LIKE THE GUY THAT USED TO BE ON THE CILIT BANG ADVERTS?! Sorry about that. I'm just gonna go sit in that corner over there and list to my headphones.

Thank you! I live to serve when it comes to comics with comedy! :-P

And besides, no-one ever reacts to the puns in the game! IT'S A PUN REVOLUTION!

NO! He did it in the kitchen with the spanner with some assistance from Miss Scarlet!

Anyway, I'm putting a logo up for the comic. The two other characters in the logo will be introduced in the second case.

Yaay. I love your comics Witchie. (^_^) (^_^) Yep, you get to smiley faces for your goodiness.

....and I don't get it... who did it? :yuusaku:

WitcheyMarina · Post by **WitcheyMarina** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 7:41 am

Page 6 is up, folks! And no, Justin would never do what he says he should do in the second-to-last panel.

Magitek · Post by **Magitek** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 10:25 am

Yep, that guy is definitely related to :wellington:

.
Anyway, this is great.
Oh noes, it's a "HOLD IT!" came out of nowhere!
I know some of the name puns.

Spoiler: Because

Fred Diddit:OBVIOUS!!
Kay Niyen: Canine/K-9. I'm not sure what the pun's significance is though.
Justin Case:MORE OBVIOUS!!

Finally! Someone's guessing the puns! Thanks, Magitek! :maya:

I really like this.What program do you use?Your edits look really smooth.

For name puns,I think Marti's a pun from Marco Polo?

I'm really liking this comic so far... it's got a sort of charm. :D

Hehe, I like it, S'cute.

And even though your edits are simple, I really like them.
I am in love with Marti's sprite, I don't really know why though XD
Annnd 'Fred Diddit'?!
hahahahhahaahhahahahhaha :keiko:

Ben Credable (PI) · Post by **Ben Credable (PI)** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 8:11 pm

Very well done, I have to say. I really like the Justin sprite. Simple, yet quite refine in my opinion. I laugh every time I see his nervous habit. I can't wait to see the cross-examination.

Tanuki_suit · Post by **Tanuki_suit** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 8:39 pm

I like this comic as it reminds me of an original character i thought of called Justin thyme
However he was gumshoe's nephew lol
:mia:

Good stuff, very good stuff. Please do keep it up, it's a very entertaining read so far :D

I once read I book with that same title/character with the same name. It was by Meg Rosoff (I don't really remember her last name, actually), lol.

Anyways! Seems interesting so far. :3

And we all know who Mr. Diddit's cousin is, I think.

1. Paint.
2. Nope! Try reading over the third page, there's a clue in there.

1. Yep! You win a cookie! :cookie:

2. Really, who? [/joke]

Thanks for all of your comments, guys! I really appreciate them! I've been kinda busy with a couple of fanfics, so I've been kinda distracted, but I've put up Page 7 just after finishing it! Hopefully I can end this case soon without rushing it so that I can introduce the assistant and the main prosecutor Justin will be against!

Gooo Paint! For I know no other program! lol.
I'm looking into this "Gimp Portable" thing, but I'm so used to Paint and its tools, the ability to 'undo' only thrice, and only being able to turn pieces in 90º angles! Anyway... :payne:

I really am liking the comic, though. I loved Justin's exasperation over the name puns! lol :edgy:

Estelle · Post by **Estelle** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 10:24 pm

So far, I'm a big fan of this comic. Can't wait to see more! Oh, and for the puns, I'm guessing that Marti's name comes from Marty Depolo, a character from the tv show, Teen Angel. That explains why you called her a "teen angel" in page three.

Aviv · Post by **Aviv** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 9:03 am

I really enjoyed them.
Nice name puns, also. i lol'd at the last panel.
The sprites are high quality, too! lots of the comics i've seen lately has some really blurred sprites/backgrounds. (EXCEPT MINE *cough)
Usually, i criticize out of envy, but this... i can't find anything to criticize. Great job.

MercuryKitten · Post by **MercuryKitten** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 1:18 pm

Wow, this is really cool. O_0 Not only does the case look really well written and well-planned so far, but your edits are actually really nice. No more of this "poor edit" explanation - they may be simple, but they're very well done and incorporate the best parts of every character you borrowed from.

Nice job =D

Emiga · Post by **Emiga** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 10:20 pm

I like this comic, it has really good editing (despite what you say), and it's funny! But, the one character says something, then the next character says the 2nd part, and the 3rd character says the last part is better left for the game, it just looks a little weird in comic form.

WitcheyMarina · Post by **WitcheyMarina** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 3:34 pm

Tuesday, Tuesday, TUESDAY! There's been an update, update, UPDATE! Why am I talking like this, this, THIS?!

Hope you like Page 8 guys. And relax, we'll actually get to the Cross Examination soon.

It's looking good so far!

It is a complete and utterly enjoyable surprize seeing Larry in this! Dear god, I think I love Justin just as much as Nick and Apollo now!

Dear god I need to finish up my first sprite comic myself.
