Made with 100 percent ink.*

Why are we forced to draw with ink anyways?



All joking aside, the sketch was sitting around long enough, so I finally got around into finishing it. I don't have a lot of colors of ink, so I just used the colors that I had and Genegtsu had at the same time. Spoiler alert, she doesn't have green or blue. Also her windows would match the curtains, but if Yuuka's eyes turned red and people depict her eyes as red in some cases then not out of the question red looks cooler and also contrast her hair. I would add more red, but she ran out of ribbons. I could add more ribbons, but I don't want to. I already spent an hour perfecting making the hand decent, I'm not gonna draw a second hand. This has nothing to do with ribbons, I just think ZUN adds ribbons when he don't know what to add to the design in the early games. And frills.



I was thinking if talking about how disappointing Touhou Kobito V Burst Battle for Nintendo Switch was, it might be off topic. Then I remember that going off topic is exactly how I write walls of text. Silly me, shitposting on r/touhou so much that I forgot how I usually DeviantArt. Game was fun, but contains major flaws in the mechanics and the story and the content. It really should be cheaper, but of course they had to publish physical copies. I got the limited edition, so I got all the goodies. The fridge magnets and the art book are mostly useless trinkets, and maybe I would listen to the music CD, but the songs in the game is pretty not very exciting. I don't know how they fucked it up, you literally have to intentionally subdue yourself to make a Touhou song less exciting. Not sure when they will officially announce Koishi DLC, and I'm not sure if I will buy it.



It make me think about making my own game. With blackjack and hookers. EoSD is overused and overdone, so I want to make a unique game for once. I don't know how to make games, so this is just ideas for a game. We have a Touhou platformer starring Mima, who just woke up from a long nap after being sealed. Except she lost her memories so you basically go around fighting nostalgic PC-98 characters to recall some relationships. At the end you fight Reimu, and plot twist it turns out that Mima didn't know she was a spirit this whole time. Touhou fans would gasp, because how could Mima forget being a spirit. Non Touhou fans would gasp, because Mima had legs the whole time, and in the Game Over/Continue screen, Mima is in legless form, not because she is dead, but because she is a spirit, and clicking continue gave her legs back, not because she resurrect, but because she regained her powers. Then she remember her old grudges and went mad at Reimu for sealing her and you play as Reimu running away instead. The end of the game would be "Mima is back". Finally. Then the New Game+ you get to play as new characters with new stages such as Yumeko or Yuuka or Yumemi. The gameplay would kinda be like Mega Man in which you jump and shoot, but easier and more linear and more bullets and contain spell cards because this is Touhou and in some areas you alternate to flying in one direction with bullet hell elements. Music will be epic and full of trumpets, because you can't go wrong ripping off ZUN's music style for a Touhou game. Graphics will be pixelated 16 bit thingy because it's harder to mess up the graphics and allow potatoes to run the game. Then you make agreement with ZUN to publish it digitally for Nintendo Switch for 5 bucks to rival Kamiko. And last but not least, Gengetsu will be in the game because I said so.



That last two paragraph have nothing to do with this artwork, so let me know if you read them so I will know you are part of the not-afraid-of-reading-and-have-long-attenton-span master race.



Touhou belongs to ZUN.
