Yesterday a live radio event was held in which ZUN drew some hus, signed some shit and answered some questions. Apparently he also slipped that he's already working on a new game. BeatMARIO asked him to make it harder, ZUN did not seem eager to.You can check some of what ZUN said in tara_touhou's xwitter account.Oh, they were also selling a stupid T-shirt and a ZUN acrylic stand.
Youmu
Sakuya, the shirt and the stand
>>48563316I'm reminded of how cute his art actually is. People always joke about how he's a bad artist, but I really like his style...
Marisa.Here's where he talked about the new game:https://xcancel.com/Yshell_38k/status/1872597969318695111
Aya.There was also a Suika but I can't find it right now.
What did he said about the new game?
>>48563354He ran out of colors for poor aya it looks like
>>48563377he's making it right nowif it does end up being harder it will be Beatmario's fault
there was one of those showcases where no cameras were allowed a few months ago too where he showed off the original materials for Kasen and some sketches of Toyohime or something
They're very cute, thanks op.
>>48563385Not only that, ZUN also run out of alcoholic beverages for Aya. A terrible situation.Still, a cute crow on cool crow's shoulder. I kinda miss the poor critter from PoFV/StB sprite. Last time we saw it was in SWR, I think.
>>48563344It's only bad when it's digital
>>48563316Richard Effendi did translations.https://unrollnow.com/status/1873038516038582354
>>48563656lol
What did he mean by "fortune telling book"?
>>48563656lmaoing at that Hifuu Club tweet
>>48563905The only thing other then Fortune Teller that comes to my mind are omikuji ZUN once made:https://magonhu.github.io/touhou-omikuji-en/Or perhaps, but this is certainly a stretch, another Grimoire book, based of the fact that Marisa once tried telling fortune with danmaku in AFiEU?
>>48563656>ZUN : Thanks to the Yukkuri Trademark Case incident, The rights to yukkuri became mine, and it also became widely know that people were free to use them. I ended up getting contacted by governments and police asking if they could use them.Yukkuri are now among the government and police. It's only a matter of time before yukkuri abyuse is made illegal and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
>>48563941I'm mostly wondering if that was some kind of autotranslate brainfart or if it really is what it says there.
>>48563993good.
>>48563656thanks to him for linking to a chink that listed all of the new ZUNartI actually was starting to believe I had made up the Suika piece but here it is.
Thank you ZUN for enlightening us further on the alcohol preferences of the Touhous. Marisa and sake, somewhat surprised she's that traditional
>>48565084I wonder if a chink sneaked a camera into that one no cameras allowed Touhou expo and took photos...
>>48565159I doubt there's many other options in Gensokyo anyway.
>>48565182the most you have is nips redrawing what they saw, like this
>>48563993https://xcancel.com/richard_effendi/status/1820439596003647768
>>48565791Another sketch I found
>>48565920And an MTL from Google
>>48565801Lol at all these edgy teenagers whining about muh cops
>>48565801>First post is a Kasenfag going acabA sad bunch, really
>>48565975Twitter is a haven of retards, there's really no point in having an account or going there aside from finding very niche informative posts or art, hence I just use xcancel nowadays if I ever need anything from there.
>>48565975Don't you hate when someone claims to be "X Character's Strongest soldier" and all their takes are shit
>>48565981That's why I don't use social media period>>48566003It reflects the quality of the character :^)
>>48565159Considering the whole I prefer japanese food thing, it's fitting.
>>48566003I like Kasen so seeing people championing her with some retarded political take is annoying. Twitter as a whole is poison and these non-forum social media sites really need to bite the dust.
>>48565159>Marisa and sake, somewhat surprised she's that traditionalMarisa is so traditional that she's only eaten bread 13 times (dialogue with Remilia in EoSD).
>>48566013>It reflects the quality of the character :^)I take offense to that...
>>48566089Do not be ashamed of who you are :^)
>>48563338does anyone have a hq scan or image of the shirt graphic cuz I think it looks really cool
>>48569110It's in ZUN's xwitter, I guess I should've posted it. Here's an image of the shirt and the stand.
And here's the shirt graphic. It's also ZUNart, obviously.
lots of people having fun witb the ZUN stands
>>48570013what, reimu belly is canon ???????
>>48563941>>48564023It says omikuji book, so it is probably a print booklet of the site >>48563941 posted
>>48570538Thanks!
>>48570013Nice FEET
>>48570013What does the text say?
>>48572376" "
eyes too wide
I wonder what happens in the digitalization process that makes his drawings far worse because when he draws them traditionally they look very good and charming
>>48578488I think it's a combination of the coloring and shading turning pretty flat and a loss of his linework. Not much of a drawfag so I can't really pinpoint it but I think it's something along those lines. Hisami for example is a well liked design and I think it's mainly because the darker color scheme of her clothes merges well with the shading (and also her dumb headdress that makes her look like an eggplant).
>>48578488He hasn't scanned linework and colored digitally since UFO or DS, starting with TD he's done everything digitally from the beginning. There was some old video interview somewhere that briefly showed him drawing Seija in Photoshop.
>>48578620Hisami's design is a pain in the ass is what it is. Fuck that pattern on her dress.
>>48588823Punished drawfriend suffering from the 2hu equivalent of Perfect Cell frogspot pattern mindbreak disease
>>48588871Honestly I think Hisami's is no less awful than Orin's
On the topic of sketches of ZUNart shown at expos, let me post here some that I'm unsure anyone posted in earlier threads. Please do confirm if any of these are new (to /jp/ at least. My archivefu is not good)
>>48594333Is that Enoko's stone on those massive geta?
the mysterious forth prismriver/early lyrica. Some posts were made about her some time ago in a Prismriver thread
>>48594343the caption says "bells"
that girl from uwabami breakers. unsure if this is new in any way
actually I'm unsure if the last one even is ZUNart at all. Whatever, I hope there was something of interest at least.
>>48572376Nikenme Radio GTPAfter that it's just the event's tagline, nothing major. Just a joke with Chat GPT.
>>48588823You can just simplify the pattern when drawing.People do that with 2hus that have a pattern most of the times.
>>48570045Her belly is always covered by a white piece of clothing and this drawing makes no exception, you would see her bellybutton otherwise.
>>48570021It's honestly kind of iconic.
>>48563316Are there any guides of how to draw like prime Zun?
>>48563316
>>48563328cute
>>48614992Why guides? just copy his drawings
>>48588823I just realized it has pattern.
>>48563348Oh damn that's good to hearwonder if it'll be a vanilla mainline touhou game
>>48570538I don't see why it'd take time enough time away from CDS if that was the caseI mean maybe it is an extension of the Danmaku fortune telling Marisa did in AFiEU but I'm not sure how interesting that would be
>>48578488I've been saying this for years. I honestly would love to see him try drawing a manga on his own, I know mangaka's have assistants who do the inking & backgrounds and such>>48578825I suspect the problem with his post DDS artwork is that he's using only one line thickness for the entire drawing, there's no line weight being applied it's all uniform
>>48588823>>48588871the solution is to either simplify or omit the patterns like most fanartists do what ZUN does and get a photo of the pattern and apply it over the clothes layer
>>48594346damn thats interesting, was this from an expo or something?looks sort of like his hourai girl drawings>>48594337>>48594342Kokoro looks so cute in ZUNs style...I also like how Sukuna looks with her giant bowl in his style
>>48631356>was this from an expo or somethingYes, last year's expo, the IN expo, the same where they showed the original ZUNart for Daiyousei. There was a good thread back then.This year we'll probably have the PoFV expo. Dunno what to hope for really, original Koa and Lily would be nice.
>>48631497i'd really like to see lily and koa too, daiyousei's original portrait was pretty interesting to look at considering how different she looks like in fan material, not looking forward to Lily having short hair tho
>>48563316>some husMore like some hoes.
>>48631570>not looking forward to Lily having short hair thoAlways forget about early Lily having short hair, but it's still fun to see and I guess that (probably due to fanarts) she has now long hair even in sprites.
>>48637875>early Lily having short hairhow?
>>48638011SSiB background extraPMiSS picFirst sprite is PoFWSecond is PCBLooks short haired to me, >>48637875 is HSiFS like the filename says.
>>48638350you prefer her with short or longe hair
>>48637875HSiFS also made Cirno's detached wings canon>>48638519nta but Lily just looks like a character that has long hair I dont know how to explain it.Koakuma is sort of like that too but she usually drawn very offmodel in relation to her original sprite so she wouldnt bother me as much
>>48637875Its like the Sanae effect again
gartic Rumia is interesting
>>48614992I am immediately reminded of this website, created around 2023 for teaching people how to draw in ZUNstyle. There's videos and shit.https://msb-net.com/
Also, while searching for this in my old screenshots I found some info on the 2022 expo. These have probably been posted here before but I think it'd be nice to repost it.https://tokutenlove.livedoor.blog/archives/14923239.html2023 expo:https://tokutenlove.livedoor.blog/archives/24929278.htmlThe recent radio event:https://tokutenlove.livedoor.blog/archives/27655756.html
Do check the links above if you've never seen them, there's a lot of sketches of ZUNart.Also, here are some random information on the Akis shown in the expos.https://xcancel.com/kanisizuha/status/1595701546464919552
>>48588823>>48588871ZUN likes to throw these types of characters in from time to time.It keeps the fan artists in line.
>>48643419>https://tokutenlove.livedoor.blog/archives/14923239.html>mysterious circle in flandres hatwonder what that is about
>>48643562>circlesWanted to know that too. You know, after all these years, I realized something about her portrait here: Zun bad drawing aside, she doesn't have fucked up feet-she was so excited to be part of the action that she didn't even finish putting her socks on all the way before she came running down the hall at the protag.
>>48644257I find it weird he scrapped the whole belt for the finished portrait too, very unZUN-like to draw belts to begin with.Flan is as mysterious as ever
>>48578488>>48578620He's using the burn tool to shade, which you should never do. It "burns" colors and looks awful (skin especially), ZUN needs to properly pick the right shades, it'd fix most issues with his art
>>48643342I love (LOVE) the alt designs his gartic streams ended up making. I kinda hope if he ever has Rumia show up in a new game the hat becomes canon it works for her
>>48643419That height chart was not what I was expecting.
>>48645171If I'm reading this right: >咲夜と紫がほぼ同じ(咲夜の方がわずかに高い)It says that Sakuya and Yukari are the tallest but Sakuya is actually slightly taller than Yukari.Well daaaaayum, big, Sakuya is big.
>>48647370Marisa is clearly not getting enough nutrients if she's as tall as Remilia Scarlet in that lineup.
>>48643342What is the original?
>>48647392I feel like the joke is she's tippy toeing or something because I remember ZUN listing Marisa as taller than Remilia before
>>48638519I think long to make her look more distinct from the Prismrivers, but I guess she might even be trying to fit in like the fairies do when you fight Eiki. There's a lot of short hairstyles in PCB now that I think of it...>>48644257Some sort of pins maybe?Nice explanation for the socks.>>48644485For some reason the visual kei/bdsm craze didn't affect him much I guess.Maybe inspire by Sarai he tried to draw belts/leather but decided to go full lolita instead.>>48647370Same, I guess Yukari feels taller because of the fighters, but I guess Sakuya has tall proportions(for ZUNart) looking back at her EoSD pi. Still if Remi is that tall and looks like a little girl I guess they are all pretty dam short.Also Yuyuko smaller than Reimu, huh.Guess that's the height chart from picrel.>>48647945Maybe, she also tiptoes in the fighters and is putting her wings up to look taller.>>48643419Thanks, I missed these somehow.>>48643355Didn't really expect this, I thought people would just copy his stuff, but nice to know this exists
>>48647429>>48279315
>>48653235Aaand I forgot to put picrel and didn't notice until now...>>48643468It seems just info from the pic:Born(probably the date on the drawing) on the 26 of March 2007, so it's now their day. (half of the year is a Touhou day at this point)Shizuha: 落葉 silent + leaf was called Ochiba(?): 落葉 fallen leaf.Shizuha had a normal collar(picrel I guess) and Minoriko had no pattern on her skirt.ZUN's Minoriko 穣 was dirty(due to correcting mistakes) to the point of being unreadable.Shizuha had a pattern on her cheeks( I thought it meant something like tribal face paint but maybe it's just her cheek blushes considering picrel)>原画の時点で顔が良すぎて辛かったHer face in the pic was painfully good? Not sure about that translation...
>>48653988it will forever piss me off that this artist never posted the pictures individually. He's easily the best at copying the style.
>>48653988wtf youmu is taller than alice?
>>48654184That's that artist's rendition, here's the original, I think.
why does some of this resemble Megatokyo sketches?
>>48653988I'm astounded by the ability of japanese autists to go home and perfectly redraw this shit from memory, and I dare to try being an artist?
>>48654617I can't even tell who the ones in the middle are supposed to be.
>>48655027yuyuko and alice. at least that's what the moonrunes say.
>>48654992You should. Frankly we could all make a decent attempt at something like this we're mostly just short-wired by too much screentime
>>48654992Just keep drawing until you get better
>>48654992mspaintanon....
>>48654807because that's what 2000s anime art looks like>>48654992Who said they drew it at home? Photos might not be allowed but were they confiscating pen and paper too?
