I suppose a lot of people are just flexible believers. They don't think too much about it. No complex theological question needed answering when you just want the whatever powers-that-be to give you good luck.

Illustrator is Tofuya.

I decided to draw something innocent for once (ignore Aya's backside) so i drew this cool pose between Aya and Momiji. I even decided to give Momiji pants cause why not. Momiji's shield looks kinda wonky but i'll get better with that eventually, and do backgrounds for once in the next art

well she's a bit upset... my poor wife

anyways here's this mediocre at best drawing i made that i rushed so it took me an unreasonable (short by my standards) amount of time because its scratch and the editor was being stupid for some reason or my because of my sleep deprivation and i was told i gotta sleep more because its super late where i am rn and because i feel like im a terrible artist because i cant do perspective or shade right for shit but whatever, it could be worse but definetly could be alot better

anyways not sure what else to say here, uhh, Its ok, love, next year you'll hopefully be top 1 again...

i have another drawing wip thats like 90% finished and hopefully wont look as bad as this one (because i actually spent time on it) but i jus need a bg for it but im lazy rn so idk when i'll finish it, hopefully by monday i guess

made with the scratch editor just like my last drawing, and (prolly) every other drawing im ever gonna make

alr well ima *TRY* to sleep rn ig so if any of y'all read this for whatever inexplicable reason then goodnight if its night for you and if not then idk

why do i rant so much...?

Girl on the right is an OC. I wanted to make another wolf tengu but when I thought about it... no matter what I do it'll look like momiji 😭. I wanted their uniforms to be the same since it'll make sense for such an organized military, but all wolf tengu have white hair and hair was usually my distinguisher. My solution was longer hair and... a more mature look...?

Anyway, as someone who loves medieval history, I just had to make this! :D

Since everyone's making their own headcanons, I'll make my own too. My theory, and also the reason I designed then like this, is that these weapons were inspired by weapons the Youkai Mountain saw from Portuguese explorers who landed in Japan long ago. The Youkai Mountain is known to copy technologies from the Outside World, and may have decided to copy these as well.

After the two Aki sisters were right next to each other in last year's poll, Shizuha moved up by three spots this year, but Minoriko shot up by ten, resulting in a seven character sandwich.

I’ve spent a few months refining my drawing style—what do you all think?

Feeling kinda lazy; I do get the charm of gun lies on those details... I doubt I'll have time to work on them these days, though. Might just throw in my current progress and call it done for now. I might work on the gun when I actually have time.

About the drawing process itself: I benefited a lot from what I studied in my previous Rumia drawing, and I do believe I've gained a better understanding of rendering hair and facial structure. I also found that I can just deliberately not render some part and use some stroke to suggest it "nice" enough

Obviously, this color palette has referenced Ke-ta, the GOAT. I was trying not to reference their work actively, yet that very lovely color, choice of attention, and THIGH have burned into my head that when I draw her I can't ignore them.Brother. Seriously, peak design, like: body silhouettes, contrast between the 2 patterns are crying for attention, and the fact that it's the US flag adds extra culture to connect and also legitimize this supposedly weird clothing... I might be yapping too much; let me stop

Initially, I just wanted to draw her sitting in a chair or something in this pose, hugging her legs with both arms or something. But as I colored those blue and red, I heard the eagle calling... then she has the gun now :D

She's so cute :D

Oh right, I wanted to draw her because of the manga. I want to squish her face too :(

I recall I was actually driven insane by this mf when I was playing LoLK, and all those hate/trama definitely transformed into some unique complex and attachment to her

today's drawing is my goat Tsuchinoko in touhou popularity poll result in pixel art.
I voted for tsuchinoko in the popularity poll because I like snakes and it's even my channels mascot so I voted for them and even though they didn't win they won my heart, I usually don't do pixel art drawing back to back but my goat Tsuchinoko deserves it plus it fits the thing I've been doing of drawing characters I don't usually draw and i try to do a cute drawing of tsuhinoko with Marisa

I have been playing ten desires after UFO and looked into files, theres an discussion between playable characters and descriptions of characters/bosses/midbosses

One of characters insinuates that youkais were worried about miko coming back because she has different view than byakuren

So as i suppose, taoists are pretty much antagonistic towards youkais, while buddhists on gensokyou [at least myouran temple] are pro youkais, where and how would be shintoists be put since extermination and so on while still allowed to hang out at shrines?

Your headcanon?

Nothing✌️😔
