For the recent Touhou Station Jam 2026 I made Stages!, a matching card game where you build piles of characters that belong to the same Touhou game. It also supports up to 4-player multiplayer. Check it out in the source link below.

Touhou - Stages! by illusorybread

Touhou-themed matching card game where you build piles of characters that belong to the same Touhou game.

Stages! is now available on itch.

The other units I drew for Gacha-98.

Operator Momoyo

Vanguard Operator Momoyo, foreman of the Rainbow Dragon Cave, is an adventurous miner fascinated with Lastwordium.

"You pickin' a fight with me, Doc? Perfect! I'll take you up on that offer!"

Secret Sealing Agent Renko Usami

Renko Usami is one of the agents of the Secret Sealing Club, a government agency that investigates supernatural terrorist activity throughout Japan. Her ability normally lets her tell what time it is by looking at the stars, and know her location by looking at the Moon, but after years of intense training, she has honed it to the point that she can also determine the exact position, speed, acceleration, and trajectory of everything and everyone around her. Knowing that the geometric distribution of units in any RPS battle is a statistically-predictable element, her skill allows her to stay clear of traditional trajectories of return fire and increases her firing efficiency by 120%. This lets Renko dodge bullets even at point blank range.

For the other units I didn't come up with a description:

Football Legend Misumaru

Saigyou Ayakashi (80% Reflowering)

Some of the units I drew for Gacha-98, a fake gacha game created by various members of the Touhou Game Dev community. I also contributed some programming & scripting for the game.

Kicks Only You

An elite Youkaimusume born to a family who have raced for royalty for generations. Proud, bold, and straightforward, she challenges anyone she encounters, but holds great respect for her opponents.

She is rivals with Always Hungry and Surprise Attack.

Mayumi (Alter)

When this world's Keiki created Mayumi, she imbued her with so much anger and hatred that Mayumi took a mind of her own and betrayed her creator. She is loyal only to herself, and is leading the remaining haniwa to a war against the Animal Realm that threatens to swallow the entirety of Hell itself. But with no one to mend her wounds, she is bound to become dust eventually.

Miracle Idol Sanae

The Moriya family of this world never made it to Gensokyo. After Kanako and Suwako suggested to close the Moriya Shrine due to a lack of visitors, Sanae became an idol in a bid to make the shrine more popular.

Murasa-class Destroyer

Launched in Heisei 21, the Murasa-class destroyer participated in a number of battles during the Seirensen Incident. Ultimately, she was intercepted and boarded by a special ops team, but the crew convinced her captors to direct her through the Hokkai Blockade, as their true purpose was the liberation of a high-ranking POW. After the incident was resolved, she was decommissioned and turned into a temple ship.

Unfinished KPDH sketches/ideas from last year.

There are a few vertical comics so this is going to be a very long post. Be forewarned.

No more hiding

Like literally the first idea I had after watching the movie.

Confusion

Short panels where the two lovebirds would confuse Rumi for each other but I couldn't get Zoey's scenarios quite right.

New ways

Sequel panels to "Zoey tries new ways to break down Rumi's walls"

Mischievous messenger

Sleeping together

Payback

Takedown

What if Huntr/x had sung Takedown during the Idol Awards after all?

Jinu revealed his secret earlier, but Rumi just felt betrayed and doubled down on her hate towards demons and towards herself. While singing Takedown, the song was powered by Rumi's hatred and ended up tearing the Honmoon instead.

Then somehow it goes back to the movie timeline but I didn't figure out how haha.

Impostor

Gwi Ma knows that Rumi is half-demon, so surely he tried to expose that before? Summoning their weapon from the Honmoon is a very effective way to show who's who (and they probably have other ways to do so), but what if the circumstances conspired against Rumi?

In my time of need

This one is barely an idea. A couple of panels showing how Rumi was always there for Zoey and Mira when they were hurt, but Rumi many times had no one to go to.

I wanted the storyboard to transition into a kind of webcomic with the phone text messages (panel 9), maybe I'll reuse that some day.

Voice messages

Based on the beautiful voice messages written by jtl07.

Scars

[illusorybread]

I released the source code to some of my previous jam games:

Highly Valued Property

Kutaka Run

Check them out at the source link below.

Some of the portraits I drew for ChocolaMint & team's NITORI QUEST for the Touhou Fan Game Jam 16, an RPG where you fine-tune the enemy to suit the character's playstyle. Check it out in the source link below.

[illusorybread]

Part of the background I drew for create2019 & team's Yomotsu Dreams, a single-screen caravan shmup for the Touhou Fan Game Jam 16, also featuring art by @llamasyes.

A single-screen caravan STG envisioned as a crossing between Deathsmiles Gaiden and Touhou 19. Can you survive 3 minutes inside Zanmu's dream of Hisami?

Check it out in the source link below.

Bonus panel:

Another storyboard! Kinda. I tried drawing this like 3 times and I didn't like how it was turning out, so I decided to draw it in a ~simpler style. At least this way I can share it somehow. I came up with a few follow up scenes but I'm not sure I'll draw them.

Frankly if I had the chops I'd turn this into an original yuri comic haha. I also kind of want to make something like this with the Ys VIII trio but who knows when.

[illusorybread]

"Prove it," she challenges softly. Pressing further into Mira's sweaty palms. "Prove you were willing to kill me."

Based on that incredible scene in @scooby-doo-creepymechclown's fic, "Problem Child"

Well @assortedbowloffruit, you convinced me to try some wigglypaintings.
