Incidents of my Gensokyo
It’s like Touhou Nekomata: You can show how you’re rabidly cute… WITH A CHAINSAW.
The game is moving in a steady phase somehow. Because of that, the blogosphere suddenly questioned a certain factor that makes us what makes us. Strength? Rage? Depth? Mindless Inclination? Rabid Determination? Surely, this goes beyond preference, depth, and the different ways to achieve satisfaction from the fandom, yes? So what about it?

Strike Witches x Touhou by 藤島製１号
To be frank, I don’t know where I started to like the genre of mecha-musume. The very first instance, if I remember correctly, was when Bubblegum Crisis started airing alongside Gundam shows, curious on the idea of busty girls wearing thick, sexy, tight-fit armor. Before I knew it, was browsing for mecha-musume pictures, and was enslaved by this certain unknown artist that I can’t remember anymore (and no, he’s not Shimada Fumikane of Strike Witches fame). He drew mecha-musume for old models of tanks and planes, which only deepened my liking for the genre. That was the very first time that I loved the idea of combining the charm of a girl and the spunk of a machine. Like how Seihou is West and Touhou is East, this fanaticism for technology became parallel with my love for fantasy and the supernatural.

You won’t see this kind of thing inside the confines of official material, or outside the confines of Patchouli’s mind, especially since Touhou is already questionable on being “official material”. But it’s out anyway, so what gives?
animekritik just opened himself a can of worms. Who’s willing enough to eat its contents? I am.

Geez, I told Peorth to use the Art Request page, and here I am, doing his bidding like the slave I was, anyway!
But let’s set that aside. I completed the “order” as requested: an adult Triela from Gunslinger Girl, donning mafia clothes (fedora hat, and a coat, even though I thought shades would make her look more badass… generic…)
The hat tends to cover enough hair as to not make her look like Triela (even with the references). Enough reason for me to remove the shades, really.
Another request finished, and another one to archive to the Gallery. Actually, I’m getting lazy on the uploading part than the drawing part, but let’s not dig much on that one. This is a certain astrobunny’s request of a Katsura Hinagiku.
The shinsengumi outfit + ponytail combo is a plus. Be grateful, you Mars bunny.
And so the Art Request bin is empty again. I’m currently free, so if anyone wants something drawn, I’m up to it.
