Aishutoon

Luke can talk to animals, and his willingness to help out Espella may also make people believe he is a witch. So when Maya is turned to a golden statue, leaving a frightful Luke who had been framed things get intense.

Hershel is very helpful as always, but a lot more on edge, he is so worried for his apprentice who he KNOWS is innocent.

When Luke helps Espella escape, because he doesn't want her to burn he is sent down to the flames instead. Right in front of Hershel

Hershel is a skeptic, he likely believes Maya is alive, but to him, he watched his apprentice die.

Laywright Week Day 3

Secret

Hershel Layton is a man who has his heart under lock and key after all his hardships…..

My friend convinced me to read this fanfic a while ago, and it's now like my favorite thing ever. It's literally what got me into Ace Attorney and Professor Layton, I 100% recommend it

PLEASE READ IT🙏🙏🙏

Here is another piece I made

And bellow are some doodles a made a long while back

You feed my darkest impulses anon! Of course that's something I've thought way too much about.

For Hershel I was thinking owl at first because smart and nocturnal and cozy, but I also wanted to try a capybara and ended up liking it too much. They have one capybara character in the IDW Sonic comics and I stuck close to that design, and I think it suits Hersh, what with the longer more rectangular face, and the short limbs, and just the general blockiness of his build. Capybaras are also considered very chill, and they get along with any animal, even their predators, which I think works for Hersh

There's one doodle of a more on-model design for his face with normal eyes, but of course the button eyes prevail. Though some artists go for button eyes even in the official comics so it's not illegal XD So yea. Very married to the idea of capy Hersh

Bizarrely I think he could also be a Zeti. I think a zeti archeologist would be a cool idea

I know it wouldn't work for the story but visually Luke is a chao to me. He just has the same face and eye shape and the expressions and he needs to be fed and likes to draw he is a chao. He is a sacred creature. I even tried recreating his hair swoop with the chao editor but didn't get too close XD

On the more normal side I really like him being a bunny, because haha the pet form MM, and the way he came out in the sketch there's also a bit of dog in him which is even better. I also thought the funny round eyes from the Sonic Forces character creator were similar to his little eyes and while looking them up realized Forces had a bear species available, and that just seemed so prefect to me, calling back to his teddy.

I also had to get a wolf in there too just because of our werewof AU. I had to.

A few ideas for the other characters, Flora is a baby deer to me. But also her big bug eyes give dragonfly. For emmy I just went with animals that hit hard or a canary because haha bird (looks at Thyme)

Kinda stealing form Lucas with Des hiding his species, but in my case he is a sheep. In wolve's clothing. Haha.

I'm sure Randall could be something better but it's like 5 am I gotta sleep so he gets hedgehog for the main character energy.

This idea in the tags INVADED my brain, so I HAD to do something about it. Here's my attempt at Claire being a shade!

I couldn't resist

i have spent the last few days ruminating on my EVIL and HORRIBLE professor layton x ace attorney fangame au. just like canon,,, except add luke triton truama times a million.

Flora in Labyrinthia
