Quilt, pressed flowers

45 x 29.5 inches

A messy quilt depicting the abstracted, contorted form of a person running. The person has light blue skin with a floral pattern, short brown hair, and large, bug-like trapezoidal eyes. They wear a button-up, vest, and black pants. The person is sewn onto the quilt in long diagonal stripes about an inch apart. They carry a bent needle that has been threaded with yarn. On one end of the yarn is a small stuffed star, indicating a knot in the thread, and on the other end is a collage of dried flowers.

Ace Attorney fanart for Cesar_Franck

A book cover style illustration with a blue and orange color palette. The title banner, which reads 'Silo Soft' in a large retro font, divides the illustration into an upper and lower portion. Upper portion: An arch extends from the title banner, framing the scene in the shape of a rounded missile. Inside stand Mia Fey, Lana Skye, Diego Armando, and Dick Gumshoe from Ace Attorney, wearing long-sleeved military uniforms. All of them look to the right except Mia, who looks at the viewer with her hair flowing back in the wind. She and Lana hold hands. Behind them, an abstracted version of the Titan II missile launch chamber's interior is depicted in tight detail. Two plumes of smoke billow from the bottom of the scene. Strings of pixelated matter flow across the background. Two corner pieces depict painterly snowy scenes: one being a normal version, the other being a darker version in nuclear winter. Overall, the inside of the arch is blue, while the outside is filled with fiery oranges and yellows. Lower portion, below the title banner: The arch extends downward, containing an expanse of circuitry and panels, all reminiscent of the Titan II control center. Two small keys are emphasized with solid blues and reds, slightly offset from each other.

Ace Attorney fanart for experimentaldragonfire

A digital painting of Kay Faraday and Ema Skye from Ace Attorney, sitting in a dark office at night. They lean towards each other from opposite sides of a desk, a longing hesitancy seeming to hold them back from initiating a kiss. Ema grasps the back of Kay's scarf, having just pulled her down to lean against the desk. An open laptop on the desk casts glowing light across their faces. Behind them, an open window provides a soft pink backlight. A monstera plant sits beside a large bookshelf, which is stuffed full with case binders, books, crates, and two stuffies of the Phony Phanty and Bum Rap Rhiny. Ema wears her Apollo Justice outfit, while Kay has her hair in a large bun with messy ends. She wears a dark pink coat with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow and a pair of black pants.

Ace Attorney

A digital illustration depicting Vera Misham from Ace Attorney, sitting in a chair with her knees up and her back turned to the viewer. She works at a desk filled with art supplies and machinery. A thin desk lamp looms overhead along with four static-filled screens, illuminating where she sits like a spotlight. The edges are textured like fingerprints. Strewn across the floor is a vast collage of maps and newspaper clippings relating to the events of the seven year gap and the dark age of the law. In the background, two of Kristoph's hand-shaped bottles of nail polish hang in front of a map clipping, with the lines of the roads segmenting the collage like cracked glass. 13 of the various newspaper clippings, from left to right, are as follows. 1: "State v. Blackquill Results in Yet Another Prosecutor's Arrest. Protestors Claim The Dark Age of the Law Has Arrived." 2: "Wrongfully Accused: An Exclusive Interview With Max Galactica." 3: "Execution - Date After." 4: "Turnabout Terror Disbarred After Shocking Revelation in the Courtroom." 5: "Gramarye Troupe." The rest of the headline is obscured. Under it is an illustration of someone wearing a pink magician's hat and cloak, a question mark over their face. 6: "Forgery - Unprecedented." 7: "Opinion: The Three Day Trial System Has Failed Our Country." 8: "Los Tokyo Residents Face Unrest as Guity - Rate - 99%." 9: "A New Turnabout Terror on the Rise? Kristoph Gavin Sweeps Courtroom - Legal." 10: "Did the Dark Age of the Law Really Begin With Phoenix Wright's Disbarment?" 11: "A Candid Retrospective on Demon Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth's Messy Legacy." 12: "Public Trust - Japanifornia Courts." 13: "Impossible Turnabout Captivates Courtroom: Evidence Real or Fake?"

Final Fantasy VI

A digital illustration page featuring multiple drawings of Celes Chere from Final Fantasy 6. The line art is loose and watery with some monochrome shading. The central image is of Celes in a profile view, her eyes closed and her sword casually held up in front of her, almost resting against her shoulder. There are three other drawings of Celes throughout: one is of her standing with her back towards the viewer, with her cape flowing in the wind and her sword slung over her back. Another is a bust of her smiling faintly, a small lily of the valley blooming near her head. The third is of her in her Maria costume, holding a bouquet of flowers close to her face. The background is lightly shaded to appear darker, with a couple of clouds and small stars floating throughout.

Ace Attorney

A digital painting focusing on Morgan Fey from Ace Attorney. The line art is thick and watery with detailed shading. Morgan stands on an arched hill covered in grass and light vegetation. It’s daytime, and there’s a large, bent tree behind her that stretches from one side of the scene to the other. Storm clouds creep in from the edges. Morgan is holding out both of her hands like a conductor, her eyes closed and her mouth open as if in prayer. The Master’s Talisman dangles from her fingers. At her feet, Misty Fey lies face down on the ground, dead, her hair unbound and cascading down the hill like a waterfall. A soft glow emanates from the Talisman.

Digital Ace Attorney fanart with a color palette of golds, blues, and purples. Lana Skye sits on the floor of a messy bedroom. She is holding out the strip of cloth evidence from Rise From the Ashes with Ema's handprint, wearing a conflicted yet resolute expression. Behind her, a young Ema lies asleep in bed surrounded by thick blankets and pillows. Sunlight spills through a large window in the back of the room, casting a gold hue onto the scene. A large plastic bin lies empty at Lana's feet, along with baby blankets, empty cups, books, and old papers scattered across the floor. Other miscellaneous objects rest on small tables and desks throughout the scene.

Digital

Ace Attorney

A children's book style illustration titled "The Anatomy of Phoenix Wright". Phoenix is situated in the center, walking confidently in his office with a smile. His brain, throat, lungs, heart, and stomach are illustrated in a cartoonish style over the top of his body like an anatomical doll. Arrows indicate various features. "Spiky hair: protects from errant weapons, fall damage, etc., etc." "Shiny badge: the first thing you'll see." "Strong arms: to encircle his friends in a big hug." "Heart: full of love!" "Lungs: filled with enough air for millions of objections". His stomach is labelled as "Pocket: for extra evidence storage." It is filled with tiny burgers, and his lungs are filled with "Objection!" speech bubbles. In the background, the open window lets in a warm light. The office desk, bookshelf, Mia's poster, and some of Trucy's props can be seen in the background. The wall is illustrated with tiny magatamas. In the foreground, Charley leans towards the sunlight.

A greyscale illustration with detailed lineart of a young Killua from Hunter x Hunter with the Zoldyck's giant dog, Mike. Mike has white fur, as drawn in the 1999 anime. Killua is crouching on the ground and touching Mike's long nose. Mike lies before him with his head bowed. He is huge, taking up a full half of the canvas, but still smaller than he is in the show. They look into each others' eyes. Killua holds an expression of wonder.

Pixellated Ace Attorney fanart of a forest at night. Cracked stone steps trail from the foreground into the background. On the bottom of the steps, a tall incense burner has been lit alongside two items: Apollo's bracelet and Trucy's green gem clasp that holds her cape together. Lamiroir, using a cane and wearing her starry cloak, escapes up the stairs with her back toward the viewer. The area is filled with greenery, moss, and flowers, and the scene is framed by the branches and leaves of an unseen tree.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fanart for T33la

A two page digital comic with a painterly style. The colors transition from dark blues and purples at the top to sunset red. Page one: Clouds swirl around a far-away planet Earth. The clouds expand and show five different scenes: the first is of Donny sitting at a cluttered desk with a thoughtful expression. He works on a small drawing attached to a pegbar. The second scene shows a paper airplane in flight. The third scene shows Mikey reaching down between large pipes and machines to grab a flipbook with an awed, curious expression. The fourth scene shows Donny and Mikey hugging and crying. The fifth scene shows a memory from the future of Mikey standing with his severed arm barely visible. Donny stands beside him with a mournful expression. Below all of these scenes, Earth moves incrementally closer until it fills the bottom of the page. A red balloon flies over it, the string twisting along with the clouds. Page two: The bright clouds extend into this page. The top half shows a helicopter cockpit, Donny and Mikey huddled together inside. Their masks are pulled down around their necks. Donny leans his head against Mikey's shoulder as Mikey thumbs through the flip book, both of them watching it quietly. Below this scene, a humanoid robot in a sketchy pen style stands from a bird's eye view. It looks like the robot has been cut out from a piece of paper and pasted into the scene. It reaches out to hold the cockpit, attached by a balloon string. The robot is surrounded by patches of grass, sunflowers, and trees.

Mixed media collage

3 x 4.5 inches

Page one: A small mixed media piece made to look like a closed door. The paper looks worn, with watercolored paper having been glued and torn from the paper to create a soft, torn effect. A small button is attached to imitate a door handle, and a cutout in the front is made to look like a circular window. Torn washi tap and tellow paper peeks through the cutout. Small flowers are drawn in ink at the bottom. The colors are pastel and subdued. Page two: A colorful scene of a field surrounded by mountains. Butterflies and flowers are collaged in, with transparent floral washi tape and globs of acrylic paint texturing the piece. A dandelion plant is embroidered onto the paper. A yellow strip runs across the page, reading "Caution" three times in delicate script. Page three: A mass of rough, frankensteined fabrics are drawn on lined paper with ink and watercolor. The watercolor has caused the paper to warp. A small person is drawn at the bottom holding a large threaded needle. The thread, which is laid physically on top of the paper, forms a tent shape around the person where the needle holds it up. Page four: On the same watercolor-warped lined paper, a small patch of grass is drawn in soft colors. An egg shape with two closed eyes is collaged onto the grass using translucent paper. Page five: A wiry looking cat with dark fur is glued onto a yellow page, drawn to look like it is lounging on a tree branch. The page is filled with messy writing in pencil. The cat holds a small joint, which connects to the plume of smoke on page two.
