No one ever told them

sometimes it's okay
it's okay not to smile.

SPOILERS IN DESCRIPTION FOR PW1 and PW3!!

Title explanation: If you think about it, Edgeworth and Maya's fates are parallel. They were both only briefly raised by a single parent, and the single parent disappeared from their lives at an early age. Both Edgeworth and Maya's single parents were killed, and the two children thought at some point that they were the murderer of their own parent.

Disregarding my obvious Mitsumayo love, in this picture I was attempting to capture the fact that these characters could relate to each other in ways the other PW cast cannot. The romantic implications are in no way cannon. I simply walked the arguable stretch it takes to pair them together.

Characters belong to Capcom.

Enjoy!

Gosh I really don't ship Edgeworth with anyone, but the emotion you captured in this drawing is impeccable.

To be honest, it reminds me of a scene from one of my stories, and that's probably why it hit me when I saw this drawing. Wonderful job.

I think my only qualm with it is that it would be nice to have seen Maya's eyes/facial expression. I believe that would have added a lot more depth to it all.

But other than that, I really do love this drawing. Wonderful job.

As long as i know,Maya's father kinda died in the same year as Edgeworth's,which is slowly making me believe they are maybe siblings...

Are those lyrics from a song or is that a poem you wrote? I ask because I'm making a Maya/Miles fanmix.

I... don't really like EdgeyxMaya, but I gotta admit I love that picture, I love the emotion in this! You can totally... "feel" it <3...
And what you're saying in your comment... I never realize it, but it's true that their situation is kinda the same...
I only joke sometime that they are in fact brother and sister XD (this is stupid, I know)
anyway.
I love it <3

Yeah i so agree that their lives are parallel, which adds even more meaning to the pic in my opinion. edgeworth looks so serious and strong, while Maya looks vulnerable...its great. XD i can really feel emotion from this pic *nods happily*

This is wonderful! I'm still sort of riding the fence about Miles and Maya, but I enjoy the way their characters mesh, and I was really hoping Edgeworth would talk about her more while he was doing his attorney thang.
