HALLO!!! so before I ask I just wanna express how much i love your art :3 your work really brings a smile onto my face every time i see it, your style’s very endearing in the sense that IT JUST WORKS!!! oh and I love how you color the most, HEAVY ON THE DRUNK PHOENIX ART AAAAA (its one of my fav works of yours!!! the texts never fail to make me giggle, even if I’ve read it over a million times)

and so I wanna ask abt your ethnicity hcs on the ace attorney cast, particularly phoenix and miles because I’ve always been so drawn to the way you illustrate their eye shape (cause it kinda reminds me of mine!2!!! and that alone makes me very giddy) IDK!! Something about is just so “eye catching”, i love it a lot! just couldn’t help but wonder if it has something to do with what you think their ethnicity is or if its just how you like drawing their eyes

ohhhhh gosh this ask makes me so happy for many reasons (the compliments make me want to simultaneously swoon and run away blushing 🥰) but the big one is that yay this means my eye shapes came off as deliberate, lol! i don't know how much sense it actually makes but yeah i do like to hc a lot of the cast as asian american since, well, they are in japanifornia, and i know all about being an asian american living in california 😆 for me phoenix is japanese, miles is chinese, and trucy is half desi via zak. these are the only solid-ish hcs i have so far (just because clearly all i think about are phoenix and miles lmao) and i don't know if any of it will ever explicitly come up in art/fic, so thanks for letting me ramble a little bit about it here, anon 🧡 (and for all the other nice things you said aaaaa)

#ask #// i did kind of want to draw miles giving trucy a red envelope for lunar new year but obviously i missed that boat #// also if my versions of phoenix and miles read as east asian then ahaha i can do something SUPER self-indulgent #// which is to draw them in a hamilton broadway AU LOLOL #// (as in they are broadway actors in hamilton lol) #// but also to get a little real here when - after many many years - i picked up art again a few months ago i was like #// “bro you're asian and you can't even draw asian eyes” #// so i imposed asianness onto my blorbos so i could practice with them #// and hopefully i will get better over time!

x-men: first class screencap redraws (ace attorney edition), ft. phoenix/edgeworth from the rage and serenity scene

#phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #narumitsu #wrightworth #ace attorney #aa superhero au #citsiurtlanu art #// told you after i posted gambit edgey that i had more superhero AU nonsense in me #// there's at least like three other different ones i want to draw #// but also the cherik well is deep and i will definitely do more nrmt first class stuff #// but not for a while because wow i am way too slow an artist with way too little free time to be able to do multiple screencaps regularly #// i need to post something non-AA next #// “this is a multifandom blog” i screech as nrmt brainrot consumes me

Can I ask: how does it feel to have created one of my favorite pieces of NaruMitsu art I’ve seen with an accompanying fic that had me smiling the whole time I read it?

I haven’t read fanfiction in so long, but that drunk text piece was just so… everything. And I lost it on Tumblr and was so FRANTICALLY trying to find it that when I did, I nearly wept.

it feels really nice?!?! because this is such a nice thing to say?!?! ahhhhh!!! 🥹🥹🥹 that fic was the first p/e piece i've published to my ao3 since rejoining the fandom (it's been... a long time lol) and i'm so happy you and others enjoyed it!! it's so motivating too because i love them! i love drawing and writing them! now i want to draw and write more of them!! so thank you very much for taking the time to drop into my ask box with this 🧡 and i'm glad you were able to find the post again!! (especially since i imagine searching is not tumblr's strong suit LOL)

#ask #// wow nice asks make me behave very embarrassingly irl #// good thing no one saw me flap my arms insanely ahaha #// thank yooou

[californiatowhee]

please, oh mgihty californiatowhee

grant me permissionto use thy art in an edit, i beg of you. yourart drives me mad and the way you draw phoenix makesme ecstatic

what the heck my first ask on this blog and it's so nice?!?! 😭😭😭 thank you, it means a ton to me 'cause my art journey has been so janky (it's the kind of art journey that involved not drawing anything for literal years orz) so i'm so glad you like my art 💞 and there will definitely be more phoenixes because........ yes i like drawing him heh heh

anyway to answer the actual ask, yes go ahead as long as credit is given to californiatowhee at tumblr (unfortunately i am not californiatowhee on all other social media, and also california towhee is the name of a real bird LOL). (though i guess crediting as citsiurtlanu would work too; that's more unique and is my main handle but yeah either is good!) and i would love to see it afterward of course! thank you for asking 🧡

#ask #// granted WHEN there is more phoenix is up in the air because lordy #// i am a slow artist who also writes fic #// but i am determined to not let a years-long gap happen again lol #// thank you again for the nice words anon <3

edgeworth: "i suddenly can't remember..........."

this is for the last line challenge! rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

i was tagged by @phoenixmetaphor (thanks bestie <3) aaand will tag (though there is no pressure and please feel free to ignore if you want lolol) @makaira-art, @aawrightworth, and @doctorsiren, who unfortunately has to suffer my tagging anyway because this is her prosecutor wright AU! he's been on my dash lately and has a fun design and also my trash brain was like "wait this is an excuse to draw a moody phoenix in a waistcoat, HELL YEAH". apparently i am imagining him having a dumb fancy chair in his office so he can pose dramatically in it when people come to see him

#phoenix wright #ace attorney #narumitsu #wrightworth #citsiurtlanu art #prosecutor wright au #// this is as finished as it gets 'cause fancy chairs suck to draw lol #// you can definitely tell i did not have the patience to do it well

old fashioneds and tipsy daydreaming

bonus: the subsequent drunk texting

extra bonus, if you made it this far: what happens next, in fic form (spoiler: Phoenix and Miles kiss)

#narumitsu #wrightworth #phoenix wright #ace attorney #citsiurtlanu art #citsiurtlanu fic #// haha wow a multimedia post #// this was originally just going to be just texts inspired by a prompt from the nrmt discord event #// and not actually for the discord event cause texts alone seemed like not enough but i didn't want to do more #// and then i was like i guess i should draw something so that it can go on my “art” blog #// and tipsy phoenix is a cute visual #// and then i was like ok but what if i actually... did do more #// so now there is fic too #// thank you discord event (more about that in the AO3 link)

"shall we play a game, monsieur gavin?"

i drew edgeworth as gambit because both are pink. that's it, that's the reason

(yes, this means phoenix is rogue, and yes, it means they call each other "mon chéri" and "sugar", respectively)

#miles edgeworth #ace attorney #narumitsu #wrightworth #aa superhero au #citsiurtlanu art #// there's literally no reason for the bloody ace to exist in an AU where edgeworth and phoenix can beat kristoph down #// superhero-vigilante style #// but like whatever this is the only playing card with relevance in the ace attorney world lol #// sadly this dumb drawing does not even scratch the surface of superhero AU nonsense i want to do #// it's only the most nonsensical out of them all #// anyway i guess this is the closest i'll get to commemorating the release of the AJ trilogy ahaha

bonus domestic nonsense:

#narumitsu #wrightworth #phoenix wright #ace attorney #citsiurtlanu art #// uhuhu this was supposed to just be a sketch 'cause it's not actually that interesting #// but drawing his head tilted downward was a huge mistake and i got invested #// anyway i have decided i have lived in california long enough to be self-indulgent about it now
