Title: がんばれ弁護士さん = "Do Your Best, Ms. Lawyer"

Ganbare Bengoshi-san is another fake franchise I made up (for those of you just joining and wondering what some of the titles in my gallery are) for the sake of a picture. The series revolves around a pair of laywers: Millie Pluck (left) and her partner Barotrim Strumm (a.k.a. Old Man Strumm). The two of them go on legal escapades and don't make a lot of money, sometimes due to losing important documents and/or people.

Millie has the rare ability to read and understand end-user license agreements in the amount of time it takes for a normal person to agree to ten of them. It has yet to prove itself to be an awesome asset, but she holds on to it as her trump card. Aside from that, she's a quick thinker and resilient in court, making her a non-trivial opponent. She met Barotrim when she graduated from law school and sued him for hitting her with his car in the parking lot.

Barotrim, on the other hand, possesses no exceptional talent but has a solid grasp of a wide spectrum of law. He is a hefty man in his late 40's and assists Millie in preparation for cases. He has a family of his own and his kids are good friends with Millie, who has been somewhat integrated into the family. He first met Millie at her school parking lot where he almost ran over her while slightly not sober.


Anyhow, this deviation marks the first time I've tried that weird technique some people do where they kind of glow or blur the lineart and make the picture look "softer." I've also tried another method of line colors using subtraction, but I don't know how to explain it or if anyone actually cares. It's subtle, but it's cool! And I like it!

Originally I thought Millie would be a solo lawyer who chased software pirates. But then I didn't know if lawyers did that and how they would go about doing that. Plus it seemed so very futile, so in the end up I settled for a vague category of "legal escapades." She also used to be holding a kitchen knife in her first design.

EDIT: fixed the が in the title and after some feedback, toned down the glow a bit and shortened Millie's arm. Also, KASOGATE is just a fake company I made up so I could put its name on a building. I suppose they make semiconductors.

EDIT2: I did a poor job of this, but Millie is not just Apollo Justice as a girl in a different colored suit. Her work does not involve magic or murder.
