Description
All right, Touhou character number four out of the way. Of course there just had to be the extra frills on the shoulders, but it still doesn't compare to Sakuya, so I guess I can't really complain. I like how it turned out in the end.Like the previous, should you want a version without the blur, I will include a Dropbox link that has a version without it, as well as the lineart.

I'm number four?
What's wrong with me being number one?..

Looks great! One gripe: the one piece of hair that is within the left eye should be red, not white. It was kind of throwing me off, and it appears you may have forgotten to color it based off the original. Not sure if you noticed or if this was intentional or not! Keep up the great work on this collection.

Yeah, leaving the hair color over the eyes is completely intentional. If you look at the Sakuya and Cirno vectors, I also left the white above it.
I am aware that the eye coloring takes precedence over the hair in the original, but the way I imagine it is that the hair color should be in front, considering it is in front of the eye. I tried also removing the black lines for the eye, but that looked too weird, so I chose the middle ground where the hair color is above the eye color, but the eye shape and lines still takes priority.

That makes sense, yet it still looks off to me. Maybe because the tip of the strand is connected at the bottom. Sometimes leaving a slight disconnect with two defined lines looks better, but I don't know, that would probably still look strange in this case.

That is true and I have dabbled on both sides. I used to previously try each strand of hair separate as I liked how it gave the hair some "fluff", back when I worked in Inkscape. The Keine and Ran vectors are a good example of this. Unfortunately, recreating the same effect in Illustrator is far more tedious, so I had to try the other method. Generally, what I found was that the disconnected hair strands work well in sketch art, or when there is more inconsistency, and the other hair style works well in the opposite case. I do treat these pictures as sketches (mainly in the coloring), and I could dabble in it, but again, it is far more tedious in Illustrator.
If you want, I can upload a version with the eye over the hair color. Let me know if you want it, and I'll post a Dropbox link.

I agree. Illustrator is infinitely more tedious it seems. Don't worry about a "fix" or uploading any changes, it was your intention and its easy enough for someone with even mspaint skills to go back and fill it in if they choose!
