Okay, Manfred is a good example, but that picture is horrible. It is JAFAAC (as much as I hate to use that term) and doesn't show him doing anything amoral. We need to get a better picture. Perhaps a shot of him tasering Nick as well as a shot of him in court, being lawyerly?

[down] Thanks for fixing the link.

Fixed the link.

Motion to pull.

Good example; doesn't really show it in the image.

This pic was chosen in an Image Pickin' thread, after someone made a photoshop of Von Karma and the game's courtroom together, so that the pic of Von Karma alone (which was the previous pic) wouldn't be JAFAAC.

Courtesy link towards the former thread.

He's in a courtroom, he looks stereotypically evil, so, Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I'm going with Keep Until Better Image Suggested on this one; he's in a courtroom and he looks Obviously Evil. I'd prefer to find one where he's actually doing something evil, but this is best option we have at the moment.

This picture was suggested in the previous thread. It shows Von Karma bullying the Judge by telling him what his job is.

That's overbearing, but not evil.

Agreed. We need picture him when he actually disregards truth/justice/whatever lofty ideals for his benefits.

How about the scene where he tasers Phoenix and Maya? The problem with the current picture is that he doesn't look as evil as he could.

That buddy at #14 isn't bad, but not sure if good enough to replace the current.

I'm currently replaying through the ipod port of phoenix wright to try to get to the scene where Von Karma tasers Phoenix and Maya to get rid of evidence. I'll see if I can do something with that. But I guess we will keep this until a better one is found.

[up] Cool. By the way, isn't there a sprite of him grinning evilly, sometimes while shaking his index finger? That might help drive the point home.

For the record, Court Records is a fan website that keeps all the game sprites, artwork, spoilers, and pretty much everything related to Ace Attorney.

The good news is that Von Karma's sprite sheet does show him with a tazer in hand. The bad news is that it doesn't indicate that he's an attorney just by looking at it. It would require some photoshop skills.

He looks like a an evil lawyer. I guess an improvement would look more like an evil lawyer? I don't see one of those.
