#This was in response to someone saying that Letty adopting Cirno is a good mischaracterisation #I have no issues with it. It can be a cute dynamic!#But I really like the Letty hating Cirno's guts portrayal #To maaaaybe softening up just a bit to a #“Fine I'll tolerate the bratty fairy”#But it's very much a “You are in my space” annoyed relationship #One-sided #touhou #cirno #letty whiterock

What did you see, Merry?

#I just wanted to draw a quick hifuu picture since it's been a while #Played with the lighting here #I usually shade from my neutral colors #This time I worked almost exclusively with lighting #reverse shading maybe?#Shading backwards?#Whatever it is... Merry's sash is also reversed from how I normally draw it...#renko usami #maribel hearn #renmerry #renko #maeri #touhou

Hifuu Christmas??? The Renkos have multiplied!

Hardcore Hifuu fans know where each one is from without looking it up…

#For a long time I wondered how you would go about writing lyrics to Kokoro's theme #And I never ended up trying.#But then I heard an awesome arrangement by diao ye zong/RD-sounds #In the arrangement Kokoro is doing a noh performance about the HM cast #This is the performance in FS written by Mamizou called “Shinkirou”#My lyrics will never match up to full-blown circles with their own backing tracks and what have you #But I wanted to give the “acting out the parts” a try #Anyone who knows me knows I love flooding my lyrics with references #Cameo characters especially. Go find my Kingdom of Nothingness teaser.#Anyway in my version Kokoro comments on each character's last word #And then in the second half she acts out them answering it #“Tell me - what's 3D?” > “New technology”#“Drum you tanuki” > “To infinity”#Etc. It's just that kinda stuff I like. Maybe someday you'll be able to hear it.#touhou #hata no kokoro

Cirno!

#I come to appreciate Cirno with her wings attached to her body #It looks inconvenient af but that's what makes it funny #Anyway I don't have much to say about Cirno except...#She's cool.#touhou #cirno

Renko but make her derp.

Instructions unclear. Drunk Renko emerged instead.

#If you're wondering why Maribel has yellow eyes despite me pointing out in my breakdown of her and Yukari the difference is pretty simple #I like to lean into Maribel's inconsistent eye colors throughout the CDs #In GFC she has purple eyes. In CoSD she has red eyes. In MA she has yellow eyes. In UFMJ she has brown eyes.#In DLFR and DBOA she has yellow eyes. In RCS she also has yellow eyes.#Technically in TGA she has yellow eyes but the filter makes them look greenish so I like to draw TGA Merry with green eyes.#In R53M and NToJ and the newest TJD you can't see Maribel's eyes so I'd draw them purple #Or maybe something like brown for R53M purple for NToJ and yellow for TJD #Or for NToJ maybe even... blue?#Hmm #Anyway this drawing is based off of DBOA where she has yellow eyes.#touhou #maribel hearn #renko usami

I plan to do more of these when I get the time and took suggestions on Twitter:

Leave me some 2hus to maybe draw chibis of. Maybe some I haven't drawn in a while...? Or at all...? Or you can go with the usuals, I don't mind.

#I'm just quite busy right now...#But this is a style I've been refining for a while now #I drew Renko in it for my banner so it was naturally Merry's turn #Isn't she cute?#touhou #maribel hearn

Aren't you glad? Aren't you lucky that it wasn't me?

#I love Letty. She's gorgeous #I love accentuating the beauty of this snow youkai #Ethereal. Ghostly even #Yuki-onna are known for being pretty and luring people to their death #I also love the idea that at her strongest Letty could just #Destroy everything by killing motivation #What a mood #Lyrics from Crystallised Silver (Unreleased; needs a major rework)#touhou #letty whiterock

I had been watching the whole entire time, When you fought my sis, way up in the sky! You made me so curious, I must admit. The last one hangs - Isn't that the bit?
