I intend to make a comic in the future. As the comic contains spoilers for my fan fiction, it will not be released until those spoilers have also been revealed in the fan fiction itself--not to mention I have yet to finish the sprites for the various new characters.

However, as Phoenix will be making a return as a defense attorney in this comic, I went ahead and made sprites (more like recolors) for his role. After seven years, Phoenix has been given back his attorney's badge--the same one he used to have, as a matter of fact. As it's spent several years without being polished or given new gold plating, all of the gold plating has flaked off, revealing the silver underneath. He also got a new suit, as the old one was stored in a closet for seven years and was full of moth holes when Phoenix took it out again.

He's still the same old Phoenix, for the most part.



Also, a few penalty scenes featuring Miles, Phoenix, and Judge Razum. Thanks to Greeny for the life bar sprites.







Гм... Looks like Shelly de Killer has an apprentice. I wonder what that symbol on their card could mean...





New character: Nino Gelashvili. She will be appearing in my comic.



Another new character: Oliver Green (before you ask, I wasn't looking for any sort of pun when I came up with the name; I noticed the potential for one mere minutes before uploading his image). He'll also be in my comic, though I still have a long way to go with his sprites.





The picture below is of Miles and Lana on their first date. Thanks to Glace Leau for the background. Anyone who thinks they can make a better background is free to try.







And now for characters from a case that will hopefully be in the Trials board once it's approved. That case is: the Tsar of Turnabouts.



Name: Richard Glinkirev
Age: 64
Occupation: Opera Bass-Baritone
Small Profile: The defendant. Sang the role of Ivan Mazeppa in the Jensen Opera's performance of Mazeppa.

Name Origin: Glinkirev's last name comes from the names of two composers: Mikhail Glinka and Mily Balakirev.



Name: Michelle Glinkirev
Age: 23
Occupation: Music Student, Musician
Small Profile: The defendant's daughter. Was dating the victim up until a month ago.





This batch is relevant to my fan fiction (link in my signature). I took Lana's original sprites and gave her a new suit, in addition to removing some sprites that I thought were unnecessary. Regardless of what happens between her and Miles in my story, I intend for her to be a prosecutor by the time Apollo Justice has begun defending.
Needless to say, now that SL-9's been resolved, Lana's much kinder. She tends to be very polite in court--even to people she can't stand, although she doesn't mind taunting the defense every now and then. She almost never shouts. As a result, when she objects, it's usually just a simple "Objection." Due to the higher-ups' concerns that her connection to Ema will affect how she reviews her sister's performance, Lana and Ema almost never work together on a case. On the rare occasions that they do, Ema is a completely different person than she is when working with anyone else. Lana sometimes refers to Ema as "the lovely detective" as a term of endearment when working with her.
Lana became a prosecuting legend after handling a particularly infamous case in 2020, codenamed the OR-25 Incident. The case will be delved into further in a later sprite comic.









And, if you've read my fan fiction, you should have seen these sprites of Miles coming. Like Lana, he will also be a prosecutor by the time Apollo has begun defending. He may look a little different, but he's the same old Miles on the inside--though he's come to terms with his past for the most part.







A new judge: Yevgeny Razum. Unlike the usual judge, Razum is very clever--he's often smarter than the attorneys handling the case he's overseeing. He tends to look down heavily on stupidity and incompetence and freely gives penalties out for wasting the court's time. Occasionally, an idiotic attorney will bother him so much that he throws his gavel at them and holds them in contempt of court.



His name stems from the Russian words for genius and intellect (гений and разум, respectively).





Name: Alice Payne
Occupation: Public Defense Attorney
Age: 22 (as of Trials and Tribulations case 4)
Sheets Used: Mia Fey (younger) (body structure reference, shirt colors, tie colors), Franziska von Karma (body structure reference, lapel colors), Maya Fey (hair colors), Winston Payne (glasses colors, skin colors), Adrian Andrews (vest colors), Phoenix Wright (attorney's badge)






My apologies. It appears the hosting site got rid of this image...

Name: Ivan Dzhugashvili
Occupation: Prosecuting Attorney
Age: 30
Sheets Used for Final Result: Miles Edgeworth (older), Mia Fey (younger), Phoenix Wright (older), Sal Manella, Gregory Edgeworth (fan-made), Judge's Brother, Shelly De Killer


Quotes:
"Take nothing and no one at face value."
"Trust, but verify." (he just says it, he didn't think that one up himself)
"I would rather believe a lie than not believe the truth."

My new Christmas signature. I'll admit that it's nothing special, but I felt like showing it off. It doesn't link to my fan fiction, though. Click my current signature for that. I took the characters' heights into account when I made this, which is why Lana's and Ema's sprites are partially cut off at the bottom.

Nice job

---

Hehe, I like the sprite.
It's unique.
Hehe, and I love ze suit<3

---

Cool.... I can't remember his name though...

---

Nice combination of all those sprites.

---

Name: Alice Payne
Occupation: Public Defense Attorney
Age: 22 (as of Trials and Tribulations case 4)
Sheets Used: Mia Fey (younger) (body structure reference, shirt colors, tie colors), Franziska von Karma (body structure reference, lapel colors), Maya Fey (hair colors), Winston Payne (glasses colors, skin colors), Adrian Andrews (vest colors), Phoenix Wright (attorney's badge)
Details: Alice is Winston Payne's daughter. Though she initially planned on becoming a prosecutor like her father, that changed when Manfred von Karma proved her innocent boyfriend guilty of grand larceny (he had been on a date with her when the crime occurred. The only reason that alibi wasn't acknowledged is because the only person who could verify it--Alice--was not considered a credible witness due to her relationship with the defendant). Though she knows there are good prosecutors out there, she couldn't bring herself to run the risk of proving an innocent person guilty. As such, she became a defense attorney. After she had to turn down a few clients due to their lack of money, she decided to become a public defense attorney.
Her first case was against her father--it ended in a guilty verdict. Ever since that case, though, he has always lost to her. In court, she tries to avoid traps whenever possible. As such, her cross-examinations are often quite long, with more than enough objections from the prosecution about badgering the witnesses. She only goes directly into a trap when there's no way around it. Unlike her father, she remains very calm even when cornered. She also acknowledges the possibility that her clients are guilty, but when faced with an ambiguous situation, she always assumes her clients are innocent when giving her arguments.
Alice tends to suffer from poor balance, often exhibited by her hitting the back of her head on the wall behind the defense bench when she jumps out of shock.

Personal Notes: I first conceived the idea of Winston Payne's daughter being a defense attorney when writing my fan fiction. Though the games provide no actual evidence that she's a defense attorney, there is also no evidence that she is not a defense attorney. When Payne commented on how losing to Mia Fey was "like losing to my [sic] daughter," I considered the possibility of those losses being losses in court.

Great job^^

Cool Not bad
I like Alice Payne

they're rather creapy looking

This newest batch is relevant to my fan fiction (link in my signature). I took Lana's original sprites and gave her a new suit, in addition to removing some sprites that I thought were unnecessary. Regardless of what happens between her and Miles in my story, I intend for her to be a prosecutor by the time Apollo Justice has begun defending.


I also tried to make some sprites for use in court, but I can't seem to get the face right. I feel like there's something wrong with her face in this sprite, but I don't know what it is. Can anyone figure it out? I'd appreciate an answer.


Update 1:



Update 2:

Let's see her eyes seem to be up way too high on her forehead and her head seems a bit small. Why not try Mia's head on her body instead?

Plus her neck seems a little odd in the back.

---

I'm not using someone else's body parts for this sprite, but I've taken your other suggestions into account. Here's the new one:

---

Very well, okay her face is looking a bit better now since you adjusted her eyes. I'm debating whethe ror not her ear should be lowered just a tad or not still.

---

Well, that makes sense, so I decided to test it out.

---

Well, I think the second update looks good. Here are the sprites for Lana at her basic position.

"The prosecution is ready, Your Honor."

---

Update



“Your Honor, here is the record of the defendant’s sales since the robbery.”

---

I've been working on another case for the RP section, and I hope to start it up once Turnabout Mushrooms is over. Here's the sprite of and information on one of the characters.



Name: Richard Glinkirev
Age: 64
Occupation: Opera Bass-Baritone
Small Profile: The defendant. Sang the role of Ivan Mazeppa in the Jensen Opera's performance of Mazeppa.

Name Origin: Glinkirev's last name comes from the names of two composers: Mikhail Glinka and Mily Balakirev.

---

pretty good. keep it up

---

Another character from Tsar of Turnabouts.



Name: Michelle Glinkirev
Age: 23
Occupation: Music Student, Musician
Small Profile: The defendant's daughter. Was dating the victim up until a month ago.

---

Another new sprite: a full-body sprite of Lana in her new outfit. Thanks to Greeny's sprites for giving me the idea. I don't think I'll do more than one outfit for the lovely prosecutor, though.

---

Nice Sprites. I especially like the Full-Body Lana. Keep up the good work!

---

Lets go!
...How rude. Haven't even looked in here some time.
And now I have only two words:
Mamma mia! <3

Fabulous.

---

Well, I guess I was wrong about Lana only having one outfit. While planning out a future chapter in Part II of my fan fiction, I decided to make two more sprites--one of Lana, and one of Miles. The chapter is going to include a flashback to their first date--dinner at a fancy restaurant and then a performance of Eugene Onegin at what passes for an opera house in San Diego (hence the background request I made). So far, no one's agreed to do it, but I finished the sprites and felt like posting them.

---

Here's my latest work: Miles Edgeworth in the Apollo Justice era.





Edit: гррр... They shrunk the picture... One moment, please.
[splits picture into two sections and reloads it]
There we go.

---

Hey GL!

I love Richard Glinkirev
The details on him are good!

---

I'm hoping to get back to work on those court sprites of Lana, but I'm having a bit of an artist's block. After all, she's done completely from scratch, which means custom poses. Still, I imagine I can at least edit some small things that occurred to me.

---

Mammamia Luigi ^^
Ya have done mid life crisis Edgey.

---

Mid-life crisis?

---

Mus...Mous...mousta...musta...*giving up*
Small neard under his nose...
*much crying*

---

one question is the ring a wedding ring and he married to lana?

---

That is a wedding ring. As for who his wife is, I'm not going to spoil my story.

---

i guessed lana cuz of the date picture

---

A logical conclusion. I'm not saying you're right, nor am I saying you're wrong, but your line of reasoning makes sense.

Anyway, speaking of Lana, I've updated her in-court sprites. I think there's a little room for improvement, but it still came out well, in my opinion.

---

A new judge: Yevgeny Razum. Unlike the usual judge, Razum is very clever--he's often smarter than the attorneys handling the case he's overseeing. He tends to look down heavily on stupidity and incompetence and freely gives penalties out for wasting the court's time. Occasionally, an idiotic attorney will bother him so much that he throws his gavel at them and holds them in contempt of court.



His name stems from the Russian words for genius and intellect (гений and разум, respectively).

---

Ha...! Peace of gold!

---

Lovin Lana's Jacket, though I'd also like to see a sprite without the jacket so I can see how nice her dress looks on her. <3

---

Hm? And until NOW I haven't seen it...



This...This actually looks like Sonja fom Advance Wars Dual Strike.

---

[to LadyK] Well, a compliment from a prominent spriter such as yourself is always welcome. I might make such a sprite, though it won't be high on my priority list, and I might ultimately decide against it, anyway.

[to Zinle] How about that? In all honesty, it's just a coincidence, but I can see the similarity now that you've pointed it out.

---

I love how you edit sprites! You make them look original!

---

Updated Yevgeny's sprites.
