i should post here a lil more often

#touhou #東方project #ichirinkumoi #unzan #雲居一輪 #雲山

Unzan and Ichirin Kumoi from Touhou Project making a happy pose at the viewer. Ichirin's cocked her hips and is making a peace sign, winking with a star coming out. Unzan meanwhile has got a smirk and his hands in a heart shape. They're in front of clouds on a bright blue sky, with the Palanquin Ship and a random UFO in the background

more flowery description on the tumblr, and i should really note that this is *very* heavily inspired by one of astrono77153462's works, to the point where i'd be uncomfortable without sayin such

character portrait from a wizard-fighting skirmish game i'll probably never publish, the ABOMINATION

[ #ttrpg | #fantasy | #wizard ]

The ABOMINATION (all caps when you spell the name) cut a hulking frame in the little vertical slice of portrait they have available, filling the screen with their gargantuan forearm as they arise, or form, or what have you from black muck, the light of their magic circle behind them. Their size and stature is contrast to the long hair and near-weeping face they wear---if those are even tears and not, say markings.

The magic circle is just a bunch of sequentially smaller delta symbols and two circles, for the record. I figured they'd prefer something simple.

believe it or not i also draw stuff that isn't touhou
all renderin practice in chronological order, although the 2nd and 3rd were also experiments with special brushes
#krita #art #digitalart #artstudy

a random stock photo guy that i found when i looked up "stock photo face" to practice paintin with a new brush
the painting is of his face, though i fucked it up a bit
still looks good though, so we'll post it
11/8

A rendering of a stock photo of a middle-aged man with sorta wavy short hair, mustache, and glasses lookin to the right. His face is a little more elongated than normal, but it's basically just another sharp lighting piece, except this time it's blue.
12/1 (today!)

minoriko pseudo-sketch that i like, and realize is quite fittin to post today
happy turkey day to any that celebrate

#touhou #MinorikoAki #秋穣子 #東方project #東方

Minoriko Aki from Touhou Project, in sort of pencil-ish style (it's the default chalk details brush on Krita if any are curious), lifting her skirts as she tiptoes forward or curtsies, not sure which. Tried to go for some more realistic proportions on this one, though I also like how I did the texturing with the undershirt and skirt versus the apron and hat. The brush is a lot of fun for that kind of stuff.
Also, the marks on her hands and feet are supposed to be mud n dirt, but I might've made em look too much like painted nails on the hands.

touhou 3's aight, i know it's got its fans but the phantasmagoria games aren't usually my thing
still neat tho

#touhou #東方 #yumemi #岡崎夢美 #pc98 #gee2pc98characterpicturesinarow?!

Yumemi Okazaki staring down at the camera with heavy shadows at play. She's got magic charging up in her left hand, three of her famous crosses behind her, and a somewhat menacing look on her face. She's standing on the floor of the Probability Space Hypervessel, which has some yellow circuitry effects going on. There's also a yellow background with somewhat concentric, off-red rings.

Dream World

--------

Sometimes I like to do bigger pieces for the Daily Touhou, though I wonder whether to follow the twitter version or the bluesky version now? Either way, listen to Gensokyo 199X, all 4 volumes are bangers.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxFl...

#touhou #東方 #gengetsu #pc98 #幻月

Gengetsu from Touhou Project, flying above a dream world that she and her sister created. There's a dichotomy here, between a starry, painted sky and somewhat rigid, inked, black-white-and-blue islands. While painting this, I thought it'd be cute if Gengetsu was responsible for the former, and Mugetsu the latter.

flandre picture for halloween
quite like this one, learned some new stuff when makin it
#touhou #東方 #flandrescarlet #フランドール・スカーレット

landre Scarlet from Touhou Project looking at the viewer (Reimu), holding out a pumpkin-shaped pail for candy or other such treats. Sakuya is in the background, brandishing a knife (at Reimu) just above that prayer rope thing temples have.
Also, her costume's supposed to be a raincoat, in reference to the "Stormchaser Flandre" series of images by @flandrepudding.

Two Moons

#touhou #東方 #keine #上白沢慧音

A black and white image of Keine Kamishirasawa, her human form standing on the left (rendered in black with a white background), her hakutaku form on the right (white with a black background). They're both staring at a moon---the same, or two different ones? I put "Two Moons" in the description so my answer is the latter, but hey, I could be wrong. Who am I to decide?

touhou doodle dump 2, this was when we started followin along with the daily touhou twitter account
#touhou #ringo #koakuma #tojiko

Ringo from Teehee Peepee, drawn with (digital) pen n watercolor and made near fully into a rabbit. She's currently sitting on a log and eating her dango with a "MG MG," so I imagine she's happy. Hard to tell with the beady little eyes those lupine fuckers have

Koakuma from Touhou Porject standing with one arm behind her back, the other holding a tray of tea. She's got droopy, half-lidded eyes which, when combined with her smile, don't seem to indicate much other than contentedness with her servile station. Or maybe it's supposed to be mocking. She *is* a demon after all, you know.

Soga no Tojiko from Toho Prawject, facing the camera in a sort of portrait style with some green spirits glowin behind her. Had some fun with the symmetry tool with this one, though i wasn't entirely sure what to do with the dress. It's a little simple in the base design, but also i couldn't figure a way to replicate the texture effect it has goin on nicely. I do like how the face came out though, pretty sure I cribbed the lightning hair idea from somebody on here.

touhou doodle dump number one, variety of dates
#touhou #ran #takane #yoshika #suwako #kanako

Ran Yakumo from Touhou Project standing with her hands in her sleeves looking mildly irritated and saying (yelling?) something. I like to think she sees Chen playing with Orin again and she's pissed about the corpses.
10/11

Takane Yamashiro from Toohoo Projecto looking in a sort of delinquent squatting position, looking shady as hell as she flashes a money sign, ability cards in her other hand.
She's based off a one-eyed monster in Japanese myth, so that's why her hat's covering one eye. This is what we call "Intelligent Design"!!!!!!!!!
10/12

Yoshika Miyako from (you guessed it!) Touhou Project!!!!!!
She got her mouth open with sharp teeth and hands outstretched. Not much to saw with this one, tried a black and white thing, but a little so-so on the execution.
10/21

Suwako Moriya and Kanako Yasaka from Touhou Project standing next to each other, the former done in a more simplified and cartoon-y artstyle, the latter rendered with more realistic proportions, though parts are still a little goofy.
Suwako's got her tongue out and general neutral expression on her face, while Kanako stands a couple heads taller looking smug.

10/9, didn't know what to draw a buddy said cryocannon ice monkey n i said "okay"
#bloons #btd6 #icemonkey

A cryocannon ice monkey from Bloons Tower Defense 6 pointing their eponymous weapon forward, its size so large that it peaks over the black borders you seen in like movies and shit. They're in a grass field with bloons moving around, and there's a large "KA-BOOM!" sound effect behind 'em.

a quick sakuya from early september that i'm a little on the fence about postin to social media, but i like it enough to do so
she's always been a pointy/triangular type to me (marisa's more circular and reimu's more square)
#touhou #sakuya

Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou givin' double peace signs to the camera while standin behind a blue background with some phantom clocks. She's primarily made of triangles, because she's always been very pointy to me.

jack brothers (done 8/29 n 8/30)
i think jack frost is one of the greatest designs in fiction literally ever
quite like the style i pulled off for this one, definitely somethin i'll go back to for the future
#SMT

Jack Frost from the Megami Tensei series, finger in the air, casting some sort of ice spell from above the viewer. He's got a sort of mischievous look on his face (which is to say that it's his normal permanently-happy grin), though that might've been me not flipping the canvas enough and accidentally tilting his mouth.

Pyro Jack with his witch's cap tilted down, looking like he's somewhat leering at the viewer. He's got something malicious brewing in his pumpkin grin. I also like the way I did the lantern, pretty happy with it.

#touhou #suika #krita #digitalart (do i even bother taggin krita and such? i wonder how many people search up the art program they use)

Suika Ibuki from Touhou Project whirling her arms as she tries to balance while drunk off her ass. This is usual for her.

Reisen Udonge Inaba standing and pointing while a bunch of bullets fly forward. She's a little stumpy, but the art's got spirit. Done on 5/26

Reisen Udonge Inaba standing and pointing while a bunch of bullets fly forward. She's quite a bit taller in this version, but I wonder if some of the messy charm was lost? Done on 8/25.
