Reminder that you can be the worst artist in the world, but as long as you make appealing character designs, people will love them
>>7870337In regards to the file name, my best guess would be that ZUN was still getting a feel for the new tools he was using to illustrate the windows' era games, since his art got back to normal by Touhou 8 methinks. Doesn't explain how it's shit in other respects, but explains the particular look Touhou 6 has in particular since his art has always been kinda like that.Also helps that everything else about Touhou is good
>>7870337He stole it from a manga tho
>>7870346I believe he traced from other games in the pc-98 days
Isn't ZUN just using AI now?
Not alwaysPeople say that my characters have good designs but my drawings get very few likes
>>7870419Sometimes it's just luck, but Touhou also had gameplay, story/lore, and a soundtrack to back it up. On social media plain designs/mid art can get a lot of attention if there's interesting content to go with it, even if it's just little lore dumps or comics. People aren't as inclined to get attached to character designs in a vacuum. Would you like to show and tell us a little about your characters?
>>7870355>nothing matches up>stolen imagine unintentionally admitting that you're too beg to know the difference between stealing and reference.
hes a game designer and musician while you dont even draw
>>7870621So is Toby Fox but he's made more progress in the span of 5 years than ZUN has over 25Whatever happened to muh Asian genes?

>>7870337ZUN style is great and I'm tired of pretending it's bad
>>7870458You can't reference a design, that's called plagiarism.
>>7872908Wait, toby fox is an artist? I thought the character assets were made by someone else. I would barely call this progress, though.
>>7870337ZUN and Ryukishi07 are both huge inspirations to me, they're terrible artists but great game devs.
>>7870337Why would I care about what random retards love?
>>7870355My genuine question to this is: so what. ZUN took her, gave her a different personality, put her in a different world, made her more outfits over time. You can do that with any shitter design out there. I'm stealing the few good bitches from hoyoslop and making them my own, no one can stop you
>>7870337WHAT BOOK TEACHES APPEAL?
>>7870621I could have been as popular as zun if I was his age in the 90s. If ZUN had to start from scratch today he's be a lolcow. Its infinitely harder to make it now compared to the easy mode of the early internet.
this is kind of a hot take but touhous are stupid
>>7870337Sure, although I'd point out that it's not JUST the character designs, it's the entire package. Touhou is successful because it's Touhou (the lore, the gameplay, everything). Higurashi is successful because it's Higurashi. The character designs themselves aren't that special in a pure vacuum.
>>7875369Andy and Leyley got decently popular within the last couple of years (to the point that it's a recognizable meme). Not Touhou levels of popular obviously but still. It shows that random indie projects can still catch on and find an audience.
>>7870355it's different enough that no one does or should care
>>7870337>>7870365>>7870621ZUN is an AInigger, he won't be drawing or composing music anymore
>>7873433that anon is bluffing, i can't find any recent art by Toby Fox to know id he actually improved or not, but here's an old art Toby has made a decade ago>>7873444Majority of the art in Undertale was made by Temmie Chang, and I don't know what sprites Toby have made.As for Deltarune, he got a whole team plus Temmie
>>7870355Manga artists "steal" designs and stuff from other media all the time
>>7875541Fucking grim. I'm still baffled as to how the japanese have received AI with open arms.
>>7875541>>7876047It was minor background shit that played into the story. ZUN was commenting on aislop. All his games have had some modern day message.In terms of his artwork, designs, music, gameplay, 20 is one of his best as of late.
>>7875332Proof that non western poses and naked girls sell
>>7875541it was some background trees or some shit like that
>>7870355It's a maid, anon
I'm honestly a pretty mediocre at best artist but people in the actual publishing industry and your average person tell me that my style is pretty decent and in unique settings.I've been leaning more towards illustrations because comics aren't very popular and I'm not good enough of an artist to do it.
>>7873435>didn't even get the design rightHer horns are on the sides, not the top. There's better examples to use for his art. This Suika is just wrong and bad and badong.
>>7870355>Nips buckbroke Westoid so hard that a Western maid with braids is their exclusive property now
>>7878261Have an Aya
>>7878261Nigga that's the original
Just be true solo indie game dev, bro.TOP KEK
