You have put eyeballs on the Co-Counsel version of this sprite, then why not in this one too?

I think her actual co-counsel pose in Dual Destinies maintains the eyes. (I should look for that pose). I trust Merc know's what he's doing XD

EDIT: Looks like we're both right: (Look at the bottom row, 1st image) There is also a pupil-less one too, but that's an easy edit.

A few of the sprites on the artbook and the ones he made don't seem to match with each other.

Yeah, don't worry too much about completing Franziska quickly. I'm still swamped with irl stuff preventing me from working on the next trial in Shattered Glass. Plus, I can always work on the prequel case if you're not done before I'm ready to start scripting again.

Cool. See you in 2016 XD Seriously though, thanks. I did notice you had other stuff on and really hope it doesn't end up taking that long though

SuperAj3 wrote:I trust Merc know's what he's doing XD

You give me too much credit XD

Ace Pointer is right in that they don't match exactly. I needed them for drvonkitty and my comp entry so I rushed the stuff under time pressure (so I took shortcuts, lol), and some poses (like the one where she uses the screen) just don't work on a DS screen. The set isn't really consistent with itself either because I kept experimenting and refining my method.

Heh, I'm not misunderstanding. I just chose not to answer so I was making a cool Godot face lol. I never put eyeballs on that sprite, I just touched up the existing one which had really badly drawn eyes.

Why are you asking?

Mayu Igiyooki · Post by **Mayu Igiyooki** » Sun Apr 05, 2015 9:18 am

I asked cause the exact sprite (Co Counsel version) and the Forward version, except that the CC Sprite does have eyeballs in Athena's Angryface but there is none in the forward facing Athena Angryface. Talk about a contradiction.

XD Truthfully that was because I didn't realise there were two versions when I was doing the front sprite and accidentally used the wrong reference lol

Well, I've seen more than enough Athena sprites to still care about what poses she has and does not have. Maybe it'll happen. I'm not committing to anything.

I've been thinking about a thing...

Spoiler: AJ/DD Franzy ideas

Opinions? (click here if you don't see 6)

SuperAj3 · Post by **SuperAj3** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:43 am

I love the style! 1 and 6 are my faves, but 1's outfit and 6's hair I think'd look well together.
Is it weird that to me, in 4 she looks younger? The long hair and skirt make her look a little younger

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 9:18 am

Oh wow! These look sick! I would love to see any of these in the next modern AA game! Have you posted these to capcom? Maybe you could help them get out of the grave they dug themselves.

Very impressive. I like it.

Younger is definitely not intended XD

Mayu Igiyooki · Post by **Mayu Igiyooki** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 5:17 am

Hmm... Looks nice! I loved the #4 and #3 ones. #6 kinda reminds me of Edgeworth for weird reasons. XD

Seriously though, they look great! I'm wondering if she'll appear on GS6. But I'm sure she'll definitely appear on GK3. But those games aren't even arrived yet~~

Mr. Onizuka · Post by **Mr. Onizuka** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 8:51 pm

Nice designs! It's really hard to choose one from all of those designs, mainly because:
a. All are pretty cool
b. Her future design depends on how do you wanna portray Franziska in the future.

My personal preferences here:
- No. 5 attire (I really liked the spiky shoulderpads)
- No. 6 Haircut (makes her look even more severe than before)
- No. 6 Boots (less flamboyant, but still quite stilish, IMO)
- No. 1 Skirt (I made a lazy choice here, for this is the most similar of her normal design)

On another note, No. 3 reminds me of her young attire in AAI (the jockey theme is strong in this one... dunno, when I see those white pants it's the first thing that comes to mind), which I suppose wluld also bring back the riding whip with it, which would seem like taking a step back...

Character design is a very hard job. I commend you, for all the effort this must be, and the high quality of what you present.

PS: I also like her long hair. But long hair is normally associated with feminity, so I can see why it wouldn't make it in an official design. Nut damn, I sort of like it.

mercurialSK · Post by **mercurialSK** » Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:41 am

Thanks everyone again who gave me their opinion on the Franziska thing XD

More stuff:

Part of some (more) commission stuff for Ropfa I did a while back. (This guy's set and some Perceive sprites for Conflict of Interest)

Final sprite for the Athena extended set I think. It's been over a year and I'm tired of it so I won't bother making the others I had in mind XD so the set is retired and stuff now but don't think those are the last Athenas from me though XD

Testing a spriting thing with Constance Courte. New method and a lot faster XD

That isn't what I expected...thanks but I still have a lot of improving to do XD The more you learn the more you know you aren't good enough and that sort of thing.

Nicely done on those Athena sprites.

I concur. The sprites are so smooth, that I feel as if I'm seeing the 3D models instead of a sprite, haha! Great job as always, mercurial.

Yay!

(Now the only thing Mercurial must need to do is to throw 'em to the Canon Character Sprites Thread)

Thanks everyone XD (Long time no see Scent, heh)

If anyone wants to add them then they can be added XD I actually forgot but I haven't been in a posting mood lately either XD

That Athena clapping sprite looks like a certain Mr. Didit...

Dude if i can just request i would be loved to have my headcanon for Scared!Apollo.

I want to see Apollo's scared just like Athena(covering her ears) but he is covering his eyes like this somewhat:

And with blank eyes too..

Looking closer it's not clapping, but holding her hands together and sweating looks exactly like

That's Athena crying happy tears.

Someone should seriously make a sprite sheet of Athena Cykes here! These are great! And so are Prosecutor Justice's sprites!

Speaking of Prosecutor Justice, why does he have that hologram iPad looking thing?

I'm alive XD Things were everywhere but I can start putting some more work into sprites and fangame things now. Will update the first post later.

Because it's the future and set after DD and Athena has a hologram Widget thing XD
