Description
I have too much that I could say about this piece ... so instead I'll just say very little and invite all comments and thoughts from anyone who cares to share them. ~Hope you enjoy what's arguably the most detailed single-character piece I've done to date. ^^"
(It's also the first Aya I've drawn alone without a group or crossover gimmick, since my very first Touhou picture back in 2010. [link] Oh nostalgia.)
Dedicated to , our dearest Aya-chan, always.

Touhou belongs to ZUN.
Art by me in PS Elements 8 using a Wacom Bamboo.

I saw this at work but I had to hold myself back because I was slacking so much already.
BUT HOLY CRIPES. It was pretty nice to see glances of this, sketched and all. But I didn't see you shade/layer the wings, yet. And then this came out I don't know if it's me or your coloring looks so refined or something o_o;
I like her alternative design here; dat vest and skirt. I always like your scenic backgrounds. How do you do those? Take my green jelly, sir.
But above all else, holy madre de Byakuren. Those wings such... details. Just.... how?
Bravo, sir

Slackergami.
I tried especially hard on this, I guess. Or just put time enough to make this work. ^^"
Oh madame, you know what it's like. ._. <3

I think the hand doesn't look completely correct, it looks like it's bent from the second joint and it's missing the third joint altogether. When you try flexing your fingers from the second joint you'll see it's impossible to have that kind of position. Unless I'm seeing this wrong and it's actually bent from the knuckles? o.o Still looks a bit odd imo.
Otherwise, I love that knee.

You're right - I think I confused the knuckles with the second joint. The fingers are meant to be flexed straight from the knuckles, or I'm not sure ... I actually referenced my own hand but then misrendered the knuckle joint as I painted further, I think. That's what the third to fifth fingers look like they're doing ... And then you hit the index-middle finger gap and it all goes wrong. >,< Thanks for picking that up.
I'm glad the legs work though! I didn't reference myself for the pose or anatomy fully, just the hands ironically. I'm glad I'm not needing to rely on it if the legs look good to you. ^^ And yeah, those wings took ages, ahah.

Don't worry, I think it's a common mistake. I've done that a lot myself as well. 
Oh, I was wondering if you used reference for it.

Really liking the coloring done on that mountain in the lower left. I kinda have this thing for landscapes. Also, I got your christmas gift! The Zelda keychain is now attached to my backpack.

I always love tackling scenic backgrounds myself ... been a bit lax in attempting them of late though. >,< Aya's a good excuse for whirling clouds and high mountains.
And glad it finally got there! I was beginning to wonder how long it'd take. Slow Australia Post is slow ...

Oh Arcy, it's fine. This was completed several nights ago. I was just waiting for the right moment to post it, to let Yuki to the first to see. ^^
Thanks.

It's crazy how much you've been improving. Crazy good of course.

I often have my doubts about that, but important pieces tend to bring it out more maybe, heh. Need to give myself a good shove every now and then! Glad you can see it man, and thanks.

The title's rather unoriginal heh ... but it really fits her I feel. Crow of Divinity, the Wind God Girl. That's our Aya. ~
Thanks for all the praise, glad you like it. =]

Those wings are godly level details, and the time spent i can tell omg. *bows down*

Those wings took ... quite a few hours actually. I couldn't finish them in one day, split them over two. >,> First time I bothered rendering each feather individually, ack! I figured that level of detail was kind of vital, so thanks for picking it out, so I know it didn't go unnoticed. ^^ And hey now ... *pulls you back up* Thanks so much!

Beautiful Zucreelo. This was a very unexected, and very pleasant surprise.
And if any Hashihimes try to berate you on how drawing me as Aya is their own trademark, I'll hit 'em with a stick.
(No, I wouldn't REALLY do that to my precious hashihime. But seriously, art should be a community, not a competition.)

Parsee's own works never fail to make me green-eyed. But I still think we try hard to support each other's efforts. I suppose each of us putting forth our best puts that competitive spin on it, even if unintended.
I'm so glad you like it. ~
