Another Dream 4 Update

I’ve got the breakdown for the incoming Another Dream issue release. It’s not updated that much, probably because it’s habit to become oh-so-stagnant after planning on October last year that it’s going to be around August this year when we’ll release the next issue just because they’ll be having numerous holidays, important events, AND ALL LAZINESS HAIL WHAT OTHER ACTIVITIES THERE IS LEFT IN STORE.

Eherm… Anyways, I took the liberty of updating my own contribution on the list, as welll as updating some people I know. Some might be confirmed, and some may be not. Maybe. This thing’s last updated on April 24th, the fuck. Now we’re like grabbing anything we can release for this. And to think we had more than six months of preparation on this, too.

Screw that. Without further ado…

Gallery Update: Alice Margatroid Sketch

Another backlog sketch I found to update the Gallery. This is actually unedited raw material for one of my previously planned skits for Another Dream (that is still under debatable development if it’s going to pull off or no). Also, a lot of people said that the limbs were kinda… off… Prolly because I was trying a new approach on drawing semantics that time.

GARgatroid, and I’m still too lazy to even do something about this…

I’ll get back on track on my sketches after I finish Another Dream issue 4, I promise! JUST LEFT ME FINISH THIS!!!

Then again, to whom am I bitching this?

I Think I Did It Wrong

My Sanae here looks like Haruhi. I dunno why. Maybe I did it wrong. Guess I need to tweak this up before I put it in the Gallery…

Anyways, my message has been conveyed to any random complainants.

Thanks, Sanae.

Gallery Update: Warcueid Sketch

I did this out of nowhere. Maybe because I was bored when I was being briefed on what do do, or maybe I was as crazy as Warcueid herself. Good thing I wasn’t caught doing it, or more like the one discussing the shit was actually distracted by me drawing that he forgot about everything else. JUST AS PLANNED.

HEE HEE HEE. HEE HEE HEE. HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE

Going to add this in the Gallery, and into my lineart backlog (which never budges anyway, hahaha). Hopefully, I find time to really fix this shit.

Gallery Update: Chen Primary Sketch

This is the last of the current set of Touhouhime primary sketches for the Gallery (for now, I plan to revise the others anyway). And for Rakkun, I’m saving the best for last: CHEN!

Chen: Succubus. Former familiar of Ran Brunestud, and current familiar of Tohno Sakuya.

Yup! It’s fine, too. WAIT. I know what you’re going to say, so don’t. Let’s stay meme-free this once for the loli’s sake, okay?

Chen kinda fits the role of Len in this universe. She’s a familiar (formerly) to Ran as she is subordinate to her canonically. Plus, you know the keyword here: CAT. That alone should have cleared any suspicion on why I chose her for the role. Now, I know what you’re thinking, given her current stature and powers. You might want to stay away from moralfags and more of the sort if you plan to literally “dig in” (you know what I mean, so stop being a dickwad if you really plan to).

And yes, it’s a miracle I actually spent time to level and clean it.

Gallery Update: Tohno Sakuya Primary Sketch

Another character sketch for Touhouhime is now up in the Gallery. This time, the protagonist takes up the stage!

Tohno Sakuya: Ordinary middle-schooler gifted with the power of the Lunar Eyes of Time Perception.

Meet Tohno Sakuya. She’s the elder sister of Tohno Remilia, friend to Patchouli Eltnam Atlasia, lover to Ran Brunestud, Master to Chen, and student to Aozaki Eirin. Further elaboration about her powers and relationships with certain people will come out when Another Dream 4 launches out, so I won’t spoil. About character design, I pretty much tried to canonically pattern Sakuya’s uniform to the ones used in Tsukihime, which worked out pretty well. Everything went into place afterwards, glasses, knife, and all. I forgot to draw Nanaya Sakuya, but I presume a new facade and style will come out, so I didn’t include it here. It might graze another primary sketch instead.

Again, you’ll also have to pardon the crappy scan.

HELP ME, EIRIN!!!

たすけって、エーリン!!!

Whoever did this Eirin supershopped mod of Mikuru deserves a WIN for the idea, and a MEH for the lameness of said mod. I’ll be a prick, so listen up as I enumerate the ways this has phailed:

  1. Frills on skirt was obviously shopped
  2. Hair color change was obviously shopped
  3. Eirin’s hair is braided, not laid down, and it’s super long

Other than that, cheers for outcome. If this was done for real, I’d vomit money to buy it.

Gallery Update Again!

Yup! Since I can’t think of anything to write at the moment, I guess I’ll just have to put up some more drawings for the Gallery instead. Talk about lazy!

To tell the truth, I was rooting for Touhouhime to become a doujin series for Another Dream, where both the Touhou and TYPE-MOON universes would merge, and possibly collide, into something interesting for such a project. Unfortunately, I was again lazy that time, and Touhouhime actually started its script in artistic kind of way, which is inclined more to it becoming a literary release instead of a doujinshi one. You gotta pardon the suck scan, though. Asking a shopkeep to set DPI is like asking Cirno to break down E = MC2.

Tohno Remilia: Sister to Tohno Sakuya, master to Koakuma, apprentice to Patchouli Eltnam Atlasia, and the current head of the Tohno family in the TH-TM universe.

This is one of the initial character sketchings I made for the characters in Touhouhime before I decided to turn it literary. Tohno Sakuya would have to watch out for her master-like sister, with scarlet blood red hair(yeah, that’s one reason I made Remi take the role), flat chest (that too), and strict, mature, but somewhat childish demeanor (again…)! Tohno Remilia inherits most of Tohno Akiha’s powers, and has some of her own, like the demonic Hair Gungnir (which will be revised later on future illustration brandishing a Millia-Rage-like form) and the advanced form of the Plunder Hold: The Nightless Castle of the Crimson Lord (which again will come up after further revisions). I made her a close acquaintance to Tohno Sakuya mainly because:

  1. Canon Remilia is possessive for Sakuya.
  2. Akiha and Remilia share the same traits, and have almost the same kind of fashion (finger fla-flawhateverthatis) and attitude.
  3. Powers are at equal level, and even their battle styles and moves are almost the same.
  4. You always think red when you mention them.
  5. Flat chest, though Remi is small, which makes her a loli…

I plan to revise this in a much more better way, but that will come out as illustrations for the literary instead. I don’t plan to make her appear on the next chapters anyway.

To My Favorite Lolioni…

Cheers!

To all the playtimes I’ve spent with you on IaMP and SWR, to all TEH WINNAGE you gave me, for all the shit and crap you gave to our enemies, and for the lolioni race…

CHEERS! Have a lolioni parade!

Full-blown pic is in here (since Wordpress can’t handle uploading of shit on 7MB up).

Don’t think this is old, but this affordable and nice Reimu plushie is good enough to add on my plushie shelf. The price says 2,493 yen, with a 5% discount when ordered. But hey, isn’t that size of that plushie borked for something of that price? I mean, seriously, if it’s bigger than an arm, I’ll take it into consideration.

Might as well add a Marisa, too-ZE.
