Remember to tag everything as Emapollo Week ! Any further questions feel free to ask. I can’t wait! :]
Terrible posting timing but I wanted to share those doodles of post-7 years gap Godot I did the other day to unwind.
He’s still blind, the glasses just replace his mask and are not just regular glasses but actually work the same than his mask (just adapted to like AA5 technology)
Some doodles I did during the past weeks as commission warmups !
Mostly characters from my current OT3 aka Franziska/Diego/Simon (not a triad, at least not at he beginning). Basically me smashing Frangodo and godosouta together.
Everything is mostly sketchy/unfinished bc I don’t have much time nor energy but I still wanted to share.
given the current situation, I can’t work, and don’t have anything to help as an independent worker where I live.
So I’m taking commissions to help me pay for groceries for my family and me, as well as taxes and such I’m still asked to pay.
If you commission me, please keep in mind that I am still working through my commission queue, and there can be a delay. But i’m trying to use most of my “free” time to work on commissions.
If you can’t/don’t want a commission, please please don’t hesitate to RT ! you can also give me a coffee on my ko-fi (linked in the comments of that post)
I had a terrible weekend following a week of art block, so to try and get back in the mood I doodled yet another meme with my OT3 (tho most focused on SahdKeyes). As always the quality is terrible so click for better view.
Bonus #1:
Bonus #2:
(I’ll put the links to the full pics of those bonuses in the comments because tumblr doesn’t like links)
Forgot to upload those, but here’s some doodles from last week.
Some BlackMadhiKeyes (because i’m weak) that I did last sunday while at the hospital, a little Simon Square as cats, another Keyes in Khura’inese clothes more inspired by the fic Hell’s Juwel on ff.net, some short-haired Blackquill (the first one is wonky because I was having a headache when drawing him and it clearly shows lol) and lastly a Blackquill for an AU.
In the continuation of my faded hair Simon, two doodles.
The top drawing is him living in Khura’in with Nahyuta. And yes, he’s wearing Nahyuta’s old clothes. They’re inspired by both his current outfit and some of his concept art as well as Dhurke’s tunic. It’s from when Nahyuta was openly a Defiant Dragon, and Simon loves it. Also the Warbaa’d on his arm is one he tamed himself.
Week-end doodles ! I got gifted a Sahdkeyes fic (will link it in the comments) and in the fic Nahyuta compares Simon’s faded hair to the feathers of a Warbaa’d and this opened my eyes forever. I am now obsessed with Simon’s fade and the implication of it and Nahyuta loving it and comparing it to something as important as their national bird.
Today, after nearly a year, I finally finished playing the original Phoenix Wright trilogy. For those of you who have never played, the Phoenix Wright trilogy is part of the larger Ace Attorney series of games, which are kind of a visual novel/puzzle series focusing on a defence lawyer who investigates and solves the court cases he participates in. What makes it a little different is that his sidekick, Maya Fey, is heir to a long line of spirit mediums and can channel the spirits of the dead…
Although the protagonist of the trilogy is a man, he is surrounded by interesting women with their own interesting stories. At the start of the series we are introduced to Phoenix’s mentor, Mia Fey, who has taught Phoenix everything he knows and who he regards as an inspiration and personal hero. Other male characters, in awe and respect, say they can see Mia in him – and he is proud. (At one point an opposing prosecutor literally sees a triumphant Phoenix overlaid by the image of Mia.)
She then gets killed off at the beginning of the second case of the game…
…and comes back as his spirit advisor, appearing to help and guide him in nearly every remaining case of the series.
This is a really interesting take on being stuffed in the fridge – Mia is dead, but she’s also a powerful force for good within the game and gets her own badass moments, and is always ready to help Maya, her sister, with any sticky situation that comes along. In the third game we play through two full cases as her, in flashback, and get much more of a sense of what she was like as an up and coming lawyer. By the end of the series, she and the rest of the all-female Fey Clan are central to the story, and her younger sister Maya is juggling working for Phoenix at the law firm with taking over as the head of the clan and improving her spirit-channelling abilities. I’m not saying that I’ve entirely made my piece with Mia’s state of affairs, and I would love to play through an entire game as her, but the fact that she gets to come back as a badass and powerful spirit who far outstrips the protagonist (and who in the final case outmanoeuvres absolutely everyone) is definitely balm for the soul.
Phoenix’s sidekick Maya Fey gets to be comic while still being intelligent and insightful, and fiercely protective of her younger cousin, Pearl. She has no romantic tension with Phoenix whatsoever, and their friendship is sweet and refreshing. Another character, Franziska von Karma, is a fierce prosecutor, who, whip-cracking aside, does not become a caricature of a female villain and grows over the course of the series, finally becoming a hero in her own right and saving the day multiple times.
I really recommend this series, for its complexity and rich stories, but also because it is filled with loads of non-stereotypical female characters that are excellent at what they do. I look forward to playing the rest of the games in the series.
