Blog #5 - Miles Edgeworth Illustration and StarCraft 2

So, yet another Phoenix Wright illustration. This time Miles Edgeworth is up. I really enjoy Miles Edgeworth as a character. He provides a good antagonist in the first game and then evolves as a character rather quickly, and is very enjoyable to play as during the final case of the third game. Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations however... not so much. He's a good character but the sprite style they went with in that game (combined with the music) really destroyed the tense atmosphere of the series. The gameplay was very different, and I just couldn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as the others. Hopefully they'll make a classic style first person game where you get to play as Edgeworth.
 
Also on the agenda is StarCraft 2. I traded in Crackdown 2 and COD4 last week so I could buy it and while I didn't play it for a couple of days when I got to playing it I couldn't stop. I ave no history with StarCraft, didn't really follow this sequel or look in to the game at all before I bought it but I am a big RTS fan. The in-game cutscenes and in between mission point and click sequences really held my interest. Most RTS games will just have some shoddy menus but having it all in-game really drew me in to the world and the story. You shuld give it a go if you're interested. It looks how it plays on Giant Bomb. What you see is what you get.
 
Anyway, back to the illustration. Here it is:
  
Disclaimer: I base my 'art' on existing images from the games, they are not intended to be original. It's more just fun for me.

 Miles Edgeworth, Perfect Prosecutor
 Miles Edgeworth, Perfect Prosecutor
 
I was really excited to do one of edgeworth and I love his Objections but I definitely don't think this is as good as my Godot illustration. Not as stylish. I spent so much time on the ruffles and the hand, detail is not my thing and they were a bitch. I had a hard time thinking about the composition and it just wasn't working. The space around h

Anyway, I'd like to hear feedback and any other characters you want me to do next. I'm thinking either Chief Prosecutor Gant, Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice or Emma Skye.

I liked the music in Miles Edgeworth: Investigations. The only things I had against the game were the last case and the ridiculous means with which the guilty person went to maintain their innocence.
 
Nice art, btw. :)

Thanks.
I thought the music was good, I just didn't enjoy it. I love the tense atmosphere of the games and the tone was quite different. More upbeat and casual, and then when it jumped to a tense bit it went back to the classic Phoenix Wright music which made it seem like they didn't think they could do it or something.

The last cases are always that ridiculous though. The art is pretty cool, I'd love to see Gant next, especially doing his Gant stare.

I hope you'll agree that it was at least better than Justic For All's music. I felt that game's music was more... ominous(?) than it needed to be.

ME: Investigations' last case was easily the longest case in the series thanks to all the crap at the end. Edgeworth had the trump card the entire time, yet the game exhausted every possible option when it could've been done and over with. It was like reading the second half of Huckleberry Finn. :P

Perhaps, but I did enjoy a lot of the music in that game. The whole storyline has much more of a "what the fuck is going on?" vibe than the other games. Hopefully they can find a happy medium between the new music in the 2 new game and the old games... but I'd be perfectly happy if they completely recycled the soundtracks from 1 and 3 in the next game.

I thought my game had frozen when that first happened. I love it though, he's my second favourite character.

1 and 3 had sexy music. However, nobody can touch Detective Badd's music.

Oh yes, Godot's music is awesome, but it's so different from Badd's that you can't really compare them. 
 
Also, it was ALMOST worth going through all that crap at the end just for that one line 
'And i would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling prosecutors!'

@Shirogane:  They are both awesome characters with great music. I'll have to do an illustration of him at some point.
I also enjoyed that line. I'm replaying it now and I don't look down on it so much as I did first time. I just can't wait for another regular Ace Attorney game, not investigations.
