MONK... Thank you... 😭💕💕💕

Thank you so much! I had the idea in a sudden flash of genius, hahaha

Ssradhadharh sorry for the late response! If I'm too late, all good. If not, I just can't do spicy or raw onions, no allergies, just a bad stomach. 😅 Hopefully I see you today!

Cryin' the club rn 😎🔫

POV photo of the artist's left arm and legs, left arm and leg wearing stockings with a heart pattern on them. There's a chainsaw on the floor even though there's no forest nearby

I thought about painting on the tattoos but went with thigh high stockings instead lmao

I'm at Anirevo table A106 for the rest of today and all of tomorrow! Come on by if you like Yakuza, Ace Attorney, and mooore. Thank you to everyone who has come and said hi so far! 🙏💕

WHEW very late response, but things seem to be going okay today after all! Thank you so much for the offer, though! 🙏

Aw thank you! Oh hmm... Maybe Sunday would be quietest? Though I'll be there the whole time, not like I'll be going anywhere, lol. Whatever works with your schedule!

😭💕💕💕 Let me know when you're coming so I can bring presents!

Aw, thank you, Molly! 🥰 I don't have a helper pass yet but I'll ask them about one tomorrow just in case!

Thank you! 🙏💕

Been going through a lot of heavy life stuff right now yet will somehow be tabling at Anirevo this weekend (table A105!), so I'll try to share some of my new things soon. 🙏

And a video tour, where you can see it before I cut it down and before I replaced the thick black foam with pins for height. You can see the foam peeking out behind her sometimes, and it leaves a more obvious shadow.

Photo of the illustration, now framed in a white shadow box. It stands on a black surface in front of a bookshelf.

Here's how it looks framed!

A photo of the paper illustration from a slight angle, the illustration now having been cut down on all sides in order to fit into a deep, shadow box frame.

Here's a photo of the piece after I'd cut it down for framing. It's always really stressful cutting it down to fit the frame, as it can change the illustration quite a bit, and mistakes could potentially ruin it.

One of three photos of the paper illustration taken from the side to show the height of the piece, with pins, paper, and foam holding up the layers to push the depth.

Oh yeah! Here are some photos to show the depth of the piece. I replaced temporary, thick, black foam with pins to hold her up so that they wouldn't be as easily seen from the front.

Video tour and framed photo coming soon! Been super busy around here. 😅

I made this for the Ace Attorney Women Zine- leftover digital sales end TODAY! So grab a copy for this illustration and tons of other amazing work ASAP!

Cleaned up line illustration of the rough design in black and white.

From there, I cleaned up the linework even more and refined it a bit. Here's the final template.

Loose thumbnail of Wendy Oldbag holding up her laser gun, close to the final design.

Rough sketch of the same image previous, slightly cleaned up.

I ended up going with this thumbnail of Oldbag looking tough on a planet, like she was on the cover of a sci-fi anthology magazine. Next to it is the tidied up rough design.

Collection of 14 very loose thumbnails for illustration ideas, all featuring Wendy in her space suit in exciting space poses. Some of them have Miles Edgeworth in them, taking the place of a damsel in distress.

I had too much fun cranking out thumbnails for this piece, trying all sorts of adventurous poses, expressions, and situations. I originally wanted to include Miles Edgeworth as a damsel in distress, but as funny as those thumbnails were, I ended up just wanting to focus on Oldbag.

Collage of 9 inspiration images of retro science fiction posters, illustrations, and magazine covers. Most have a space theme and bright colours.

I wanted to do something like a cool retro sci-fi poster or magazine cover, so I collected a few references for inspiration.

A collection of Wendy Oldbag references of her in her space outfit, some from the game series, anime, and concept art.

This was a super fun illustration to work on! I haven't made a sci-fi piece before, and I wanted to make Oldbag look cool. Here are the reference images I saved for her spacesuit design.

Wide shot of the paper illustration showing it on a cutting mat on a table, to show the scale and height.

Close up of Wendy's face and gun.

Close up of Wendy's body from the waist up.

Some close up photos and alternate angles!

Photo of a paper illustration. Wendy Oldbag, from the Ace Attorney video game series, stands straight with squared shoulders, holding a laser gun in her right hand, pinky up, pointing to the sky. Her left hand is at her side, in a fist. She looks to the left, a serious expression on her face. She is wearing her blue space jumpsuit with a silver panel on her chest. She has a clear helmet on. The background is an orange planet with sedimentary rock formations, and in the sky are two planets.

Hey you whippersnappers! Take a look at this paper illustration I made of Wendy Oldbag, protecting the universe like she always does, but really- kids these days have no respect for heroes like her- let me tell you, I was quite the space hero when I was younger, in fact-

Aw, thank you! I've got most of the idea planned out- I just need to get it drawn 😭

It's been percolating for way too long... I gotta... I gotta make it... 💀

Ahhh thank you! I've been kicking this idea around for years and I've really gotta get going on it... 😭
