Description So I love Byakuren. She seems like such a sweetheart, you know? One of the few characters in Touhou that's truly a selfless, kindhearted person. A lot of people like the crazier characters, but I've never been like that. I've always liked the more mild-mannered, nicer characters... She's very special to me.

Bleh, though I don't think I did her much justice, if any. Her face is too long. I don't like the line art. The shading's weird.
But if you find a reason to like it, then good for you.

...That scroll was a bitch.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to post these. For you folks who love her stage theme and boss theme, EastNewSound has two wonderful remixes that you might like.

Remixed stage theme (Fires of Hokkai) is here: [link]
Remixed boss theme (Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind) is here: [link]

Time: 7 hours

Wife.

My dear.

You...

TOTALLY DID HER JUSTICE. Far more justice than I do her. God, I love the shading here, and her scroll is amazingly wonderful... I love how shiny it is and how bright the whole picture is; I love her expression and the shading and everything. I love how you did it, wife, and I personally love this picture quite a great deal. <3

Again and again you remind me of why I'm jealous of you: YOUR SHADING AND SEXAY LINEART.

I love the background too~

And honestly, I do thin she's such a sweetheart too. c: I can see why you like her~ God, I love this so much. You really did definitely do her justice.

I have not gotten much into Touhou. I do not even know what it means, but all the fanart I have been paying attention too lately has been making me wonder what it is exactly. Anyway...

I like looking at the scroll and each of the indiviual symbols. Did you make up each one up or did you try to cross reference it?

Ah, if you want to know more about it, I could tell you a bit about the series? o: They're quite an interesting set of computer games.

I tried to use her reference as best as possible for the scroll, but I got tired of following it to a T. So after a while I just started making up my own shapes. xD;
Thanks for the comment~

0_0 This is really well drawn. You really did her some justice. I will admit that her face does seem a little bit long, but not so much that it detracts from the picture.

IkazuchiRyu In reply to SithLordNergal [2010-10-30 00:24:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. :c Yeah, the face was long, but for whatever reason I couldn't figure out how to change it, so I left it as-is. Thanks for the comment~

I think it looks absolutely amazing Draggie ;n;
Your anatomy improves every time you upload, and you spend so much time on your pictures. I think it really shows. The scroll has a really pretty scroll effect. I personally am not a fan of Touhou at all, but the way you drew her makes me like one of the characters ;u;

D'aw, this is really gorgeous, and I do think it does Byakuren justice. She really is a sweetheart, and it's a shame people don't seem to like her as much as the characters with more explosive, energetic personalities. (I just like the psychos + grumpy people + peaceful emotion-tweakers. xD) This pic is so pretty and colorful, but.. peaceful, she looks so serene and kind of sad. I really like it. <3

Yes, I do think it's a shame. She seems to have a severe lack of fan art... though maybe that's just because she's relatively new? No excuses, I guess. >:c
Thank you, I do appreciate it. ;n;
