So I finally got that stupid project out of the way, precisely at 0300 hrs this morning. Even though it was late, I couldn’t fall asleep because I stay up all night the night before then ended up slept through the whole morning. Anyways, I was talking to a certain someone online. She told me I haven’t been drawing blood splatters for a good while. It got me thinking I should draw something, in which is where this practice piece came from. This idea does not belong to me, enjoy~
Duster:
Pardon me for interupting you with a commerical between Ensei’s Touhou character/fashion show: Delivering a Touhou invitation of the Touhou universe, academy, characters, story, and girls to your door… Wait, that last one sounds wrong, sorry. Alright, stop the joke. Honestly, my summer is about to end. Taking this opportunity, I want to reflect on what I did over the summer. And… there’s basically nothing (facepalm). 90% Of the time I either emersed myself in the joy of working or being family’s royal taxi driver. Even with all this I didn’t squeeze the time out and draw something for the blog, you guys, and my own benefit. This problem has been going on since high school. It’s been harder and harder to pick up the pen or pencil. Because of this Ensei said she is going to stop drawing Touhou now because there are better things to do. Since I am not really corroboratig with this project, the point is gone. Yeah… this is really my problem. Just all the thinking and no doing is totally stupid. I’ve been thinking way too much into what I really wanted… just a bunch of useless and wasteful craps of imaginations in there… how the fuck would I know what I want? This is hilarious, I don’t even know what I am talking about. I can’t even listen to what other people are saying and hoping. It’s wrong, way too wrong. So yeah, if you are sad that Ensei is gonna stop now, just go head and blame it on me. The comment is open. Say as many words as you can (that includes you, E. Come on Seibaru, I know you can say something harmful. Miha, try too, even if you are not following Touhou. WoS, if you can, help me. Biru, take it seriously. Arlen, please have fun with it, or is it a dumb request? Oseike, you can join too. Rekka, HD, sin… Anyone, even if you never comment before, go ahead, feel free, don’t worry). I won’t banned it or destroy it as long as it’s related to this topic. I just hope this on-repeat commercial moment will end one day soon…

Remember not too long ago, we’ve annouced our launch on Touhou Academy project? Yeah, it’s been like years, how come the progess is so slow and wait, no, we’re back to Nanoha again?! Well, if it’s only Fate so I suppose it’s fine… Anyway, for Touhou, Ensei and I realized we are missing something extremely important— We aren’t even that comfortable darwing all of the characters yet! No wonder there are no updates! For example, take a look at my first attempt on drawing Mouku:
E: “She doesn’t have the long strip of hair before her ears….”
D: “REALLY?!”
Of course I tried and fixed the hair afterwards:
Yeah, this looks much more like the true Mouku. Sorry about this one having a different style because I couldn’t undo the outline. In the end it’s not gonna change the fact that we still have more work to do. That’s how serious we are with this project (trying to sound cool here). Yeah, well, good enough reason to you? Fine, you are right. Actually, the truth is that we keep running around in circles with our favorite characters. That’s why drawing new characters can be a little… you know… (runs away).
Duster:
This is true. Sitting on my desk right now is a brand new sketchbook I brought a month ago. On the first page there is a drawing of the borders team. In the past I probably would have finish it in a day or two however… now it feels so difficult to complete. I’ve been heavily addicted to “complete the sketching” rather than “complete the drawing”. I really feel from time to time just plan sketches with loose line is enough to get out what i want and post them on the blog. But I am afraid to post too much of them on the blog since this might happen to you when you look at them: “i can’t figure it out even though i have been staring at it” (Ensei). Since I don’t have the scan of it, I’ll give you another example of what I mean. This is another borders team sketch on a touhou paintbbs.

Yes, yes I did. This picture could have look much better, but I just couldn’t go on. I think it might be because I got sick of looking at it, but I have no interest of continuing(yet so many things should be added but never did). So this time, it’s my fault, not pchat. Speaking of which, not everything was done in pchat, I spend most of the coloring in photoshop. Just so everyone know pchat is still a shitty program but good enough to get none detail things done.
Now, today we have Alice and Marisa, or mariari. I just want to try to draw all the major groups that showed up in Imperishable Night. Since those two are my top few favorite characters, I thought to draw them first. Also because I never draw them together or in a decently done drawing. Oh, if you are questioning about what’s with the gothic and masquerade mask… I don’t know, guess I like it?
