FMA sketches by Ace Attorney's character designer, Iwamoto Tatsuro
For the past week, Iwamoto-san has been posting sketches of FMA characters on his twitter as a part of his daily sketching challenge and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
I really want to share his art over here and also translate his posts for you all because I think his commentaries are quite insightful for people who are interested in character design!
[Those who know their AA lore would recognize him as who voiced Edgeworth (Mitsurugi) in the games :3]
Anyways, below are his FMA sketches he's shared on twitter so far! (Contains: Ed, Hughes, Kimblee, Mustang, Breda) You can click on the dates to see their original post. I will add to this post if he shares any more sketches, it seems that he has been on an FMA roll xD

If you draw your favourite things out you will know them better! So, this is Edward Elric from #FullmetalAlchemist.
Even if you have decided on the pose you want to draw, it is better to sketch out these three first:
the moment before the pose is struck
the pose itself
the moment after the pose is struck
then decide which image works better for your art. I learned this from a really great senior of mine, and it is very solid advice.

29/11/2023 (Translator's note: I decided to move this one to the top because it is my favourite. No I don't accept criticism.)
I have been drawing Ed's automail again.
I like it when the machine part has a distinctly different silhouette compared to the human body, so I added some original ideas to the design.
What design should I draw next? Perhaps I should draw the military uniform?

Again, it is the time of "drawing your favourite things to know them better!"
It feels so good to draw such great characters...

My Photoshop has been crashing for mysterious reasons the whole morning, and I tried to troubleshoot in the afternoon and it was a PAIN. Computers are really difficuuuuuuuult--

Iwamoto-style drawing Masterclass: Bonus!
It is the "Give the leather and metal items a bit of flare/shine to immediately make the drawing look more complete"-jutsu!

I wanted the clothes to give off an oversized, loose impression.
Canon Hughes didn't seem to be wearing a shirt underneath... hmm.

I am beginning to understand the structure of the military uniform better...
Realising the butt flap/cape didn’t actually connect to the upper jacket is a shocker to me.

A continuation of yesterday's sketch
...or so I thought, until I realized how King Bradley and Kimblee during the Ishval war had a different overcoat design, in which they actually wore a single long coat instead of a separated upper and bottom set.

When his clothes were unbuttoned, there was something that looked like an additional button on his right chest... I wonder if it could be fastened from the back?
Tumblr media
(Translator's note: sorry, I have no idea what button he's referring to here lol)

I like how each character's personality was expressed through the way they dress. Contrary to his appearance, this person was very intelligent, which makes him such a great character.

So I read that apparently the one who designed Pearl Fey was looking at Ojamajo Doremi and honestly...Yeah, I can kind of see it.

She wouldn't look too out of place in this.

I planned on drawing some Ace Attorney character studies this month. I've still had Hades on my mind though, and I thought about.... maybe... blending the two?
That's as far as I got, but IT WAS ENOUGH TO WARRANT TRYING SOMETHING. Initially the outfit was going to be a blend of both their appearances. I didn't like it. So it's just Meg's usual look but in the Franziska pose from promo art.
Magaera Von Karma
-blue hair
-whips you
-top energy
The Miles and Than parallels I'm excited about. Hopefully will experiment with that too because I like both of those characters!
Megaera designed by Jen Zee
Franziska Von Karma designed by Kumiko Suekane, reference pose illustration by Tatsuro Iwamoto (to the best of my knowledge - will amend if inaccurate!)

Valentine's Day and White Day Gyakuten Snapshot Translations
Scans from Court Records by JapaneseGIRL
Tumblr media
Hello, I'm the second illustrator for "Ace Attorney", Tatsuro Iwamoto. I will be drawing Ace Attorney in this space for a bit. Thank you for having me! The theme for this first commemorative illustration is "Valentine's Day". As the 2 members of the Fey family don't really understand the relationship between chocolate and valentines day very well, Larry and Edgeworth are called to help. It has that sort of vibe, doesn't it? Larry, who is skilled with his hands, is the general manager, while in contrast it seems that Edgeworth is forced to do the menial work. Pearls must have been the one that inspired Maya with the existence of Valentine's Day. Everyone, please imagine all sorts of things. It's also about characters that aren't present. For example, Lotta probably came to sell stolen photos of Phoenix under the guise of materials for making the chocolate. Detective Gumshoe could be about to smell the chocolate and rush in. And I wonder if Oldbag is making her own chocolate bust of Edgeworth.
Tumblr media
The theme for the second drawing is "White Day", which has become an illustration in response to the previous theme of "Valentines Day". The fact that Edgeworth is serving Maya and Pearls means that Edgeworth may have received chocolate from the girls. The Steel Samurai on top of the cake was likely made by Larry. If Franziska was invited, does that mean she gave chocolates as well? Wright is… He might be unsatisfied with how small he is in the illustration despite being the main character. By the way, what kind of sweets are generally gifted on white day? I feel like there was speculation that in the past, marshmallows were given, but I haven't heard that lately. I had a lot of trouble deciding what Edgeworth would have to give.
Prosecutor's Office Corner:
Postcard 1:
Edgeworth: Here, Detective Gumshoe and I will introduce the postcards. Thanks for having us. Gumshoe: Thanks for the quick postcard! I was surprised by the expression on prosecutor Edgeworth's face when making the Wright-style chocolate, wow!* Edgeworth: Look forward to your next month's salary assessment…
Postcard 2:
Edgeworth: Hmm. An Ace Attorney orchestra concert?
Gumshoe: I have to eat instant noodles every day in order to go to this concert!
Edgeworth: More importantly, it seems that Justice has an announcement as well, so I'm looking forward to it.
*tn: I assume Gumshoe is expressing shock-- he uses an expression for when one is taken aback and thinks something is amazing, terrible, etc. Could be like "the face you made was amazing!"

[ID: A screenshot of a wiki page reading “Ron's design is based a bit on designs in the boys' love genre. Tatsuro Iwamoto had learned that many fans of boys' love were also fans of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, prompting him to read the genre and take inspiration from them.” /End ID]
I’m losing my mind wdym the wife guy is the one based on BL. what does this mean. this is insane to me. why did nobody tell me this

They are probably leaning into the Storm God archetype considering how despite usually having more faithful or better portrayals of demons and Gods in DX2, Zeus still acts like a Japanese delinquent like he does in V or SJ, much like Demeter is two faced evil as well. Zeus tried to conquer the world and cull humanity in a new “Trojan War” he plotted to create until he got his butt kicked. Period/Marduk similarity admits he was going to conquer humanity by his actions at the end.
Honestly it’s weird, DX2 is spot on with Angra Mainyu or Mara being evil and how the former consistently has new evil schemes to regain his power, but when it comes to handling other deities they can miss badly or be more faithful to their mythology than SMT usually is. (I usually don’t mention the characters as it’s usually anime tropes. But even those can be done well based on the event or story).
Anyways sorry about rambling about things in DX2. It has a lot of flaws, but it does have good events with demons and also even uses its anime tropes pretty good on occasion. The Take Back The City events have been fantastic since they started last year, especially as they tend to be alignment themed.
Yeah, my impression until recently was that Dx2 treats of myth with at least marginally more care than you would expect from the series of late. But the writers are in the unenviable position of churning out story after story to support the game as it plods along for however many years it remains effective in extracting surplus value from its player base.
In other words, we'll inevitably see recycled every tired plot, every dumbass equivocation or deluded interpretation that has plagued the series since its inception. Just to keep the blood flowing. And with no recourse to new designs to service bespoke scenarios beyond the occasional new-to-you Kaneko design from 1994, all that's left is to prod Tatsuro Iwamoto into contributing yet another career-worst character design. Marduk/Period is just a really funny case because, look at him. lol. lmao.
As to the other asks that I received about this: I just don't have that much to say on any single topic from this game that I never intend to play. But I've read them all and agree! Thanks for the interest.

Unlike the original work, the elder brother who was filled with demonic energy since childhood and spoke accurate and well-suited fortune-telling.
I drew Ayasato Kimihiko, the eldest son who almost became the head of the Ayasato family.
In the end, she was expelled for calling in and relying on ghosts, which were taboo in the Ayasato family.
After willingly leaving the family, a small animist cult worshiped by Suzue Miuchi and Fumiya Sato in reality
Healing, predicting the future, and fulfilling wishes through applause by becoming the group leader of the forces that support him.
It is a setting that makes a profit by exerting it on the users who believe in it.
Even when he was growing up with his younger brother Maito, he showed an example and responsibility as his older brother, but he was considered inferior and pitiful in his heart.
Miya Nagi Sato Iwa, the birth mother of her own son Sekiro, also came to the Aya Sato family out of curiosity to investigate her.
A sense of superiority based on contempt for people outside the family
For the purpose of harassing and rotting people of the same family who began to be vigilant and check themselves while expressing concern more and more.
I married Satoi, whom I sincerely loved and expected with my feelings as a hard-nosed member of the opposite sex.
As Sekiro was born and grew up, he couldn't show his demons as much as he did, hating and disobeying himself more and more.
Only the appearance of a cruel and harsh heartless father was seen more and more severely, and eventually Satoi and Sekiro's mother
Willingly let him leave without any regrets, and to his nephews Takahiro, Reika, and Mahiro
He only showed his presence as a capable and strong but scary uncle, but was eventually killed by the grandfathers of the Ayasato family.
His eldest son was disqualified from being the successor, and he himself came out saying that if I left, this family would be damaged and that I have no regrets anymore.
She becomes a real existence like Shoko Asahara and Man-hee Lee, and appears as a threatening reactionary figure in the world in the picture above.
The sword she is holding is Takumi, a double-edged sword that is one of the two sacred treasures of the Ayasato family in the castle reversal world.
(Taken from Shu Takumi's name.)
The Ayasato family's great-great-great-grandfather, Kyo Ayasato, who was an astrologer
As a sword used to kill and punish members inside and outside his family and himself.
 Kimihiko brought out something that only the head of the Aedang family and the eldest son could use.
It was also used as a tool of authority in one's own follower group.
It is thought to be a sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family and has captured and sucked in many souls and imprisoned them.
As a shaman and spiritual creature, the Ayasato family heads and male members were reluctant to approach and use it.
Another Ayasato family treasure is a bronze mirror called Iwamoto.
(Taken from Tatsuro Iwamoto.)
It is hung in front of the entrance to the main main hall, the largest, where the men of the Ayasato family and visitors gather.
It is a large mirror that allows visitors to see their reflections.
If Takumi's katana eliminates the obstruction
Kagami Iwamoto is inside and makes each person who enters look back and corrects
It plays a role in preserving and preserving precious things.
Even if I didn't completely inherit Kimihiko's demonic spirit
The setting is that Sekiro has the ability to sense and control most spirits, demons, and beings.

#PHOENIX WRIGHT DUAL DESTINIES PRICE TRIAL#
Buying the fourth bundle would entitle the buyer to all three alternate cover arts.Ī port for the iOS platform was released in Japan on Augas an episodic package with all content from the 3DS version being present (including the Japan-exclusive quiz downloadable content). The second and third bundles also included alternative cover art featuring different characters from the main design, chosen from a pool of three designs.
The game and a figurine of Phoenix Wright.
The game, a 3DS pouch patterned after Phoenix Wright's suit, and a set of translucent stickers.
The physical release of the game in Japan came in four configurations: Another notable absence was regular character designer Tatsuro Iwamoto, who opted to take a break from the series and was replaced by Takuro Fuse. Yamazaki took over the role of series creator Shu Takumi, who was at that time busy working on Professor Layton vs. Motohide Eshiro returned as producer, Takeshi Yamazaki was the scenario director, and the soundtrack was composed by Noriyuki Iwadare. The game also features a fully orchestral soundtrack. Dual Destinies features a 3D environment, instead of the 2D sprites and backgrounds of previous games. Phoenix Wright returns as the main protagonist, and his design has been changed to reflect his maturation and greater sense of comfort compared to his last cases as a lawyer eight years prior. Dual Destinies takes the main series to the Nintendo 3DS for the first time, preceded by the title Professor Layton vs.
