today on 'shook does things she has no reason to, but wants to anyways':

learning how to do ZUN art!!!!!

now i've actually wanted to do this for a while, but just decided to now on a complete whim because i'm just Like That.

i do wanna go through my process a bit, but first i'll just. give the art bc i know that's why most people are here cjhvbcjuv-

there she is!!! the funny highlighter!!! idk why i chose her of all ocs but i certainly did!!!

ok so process time: i mainly referenced a few of touhou 18's portraits, specifically reimu, mike and misumaru. using these, i made a base sketch of reimu's pose, which i then took and made into a sketch of ayeno that tried to stick as close as possible to ZUN's artstyle (see sketches below). then, i took that sketch and made another but changed some things to fit more in-line with my own art style (specifically the eyes [which i ended up changing back], arms and legs, eyebrows, and some of the clothing details).

the main thing i struggled with though was DEFINITELY the shading. like, i don't really shade my art at all ever...? because it's just. very time consuming. and looks bad half the time. and uhh i gave up halfway through on this because i just couldn't anymore B]

so yeah rip the clothes shading but hey! i'm still really happy with the result, and totally want to do this with more of my touhou ocs in the future :] (just... not now. it's been like 5 days lmao i need a break-)

even more 2hus, i simply cannot be stopped

names are Chiho Niseaki and Soseiji Hasami (ft. a small Mekami Tatamu, who should be the next and final design i do-)

i really like tsukumogami if it wasn't already obvious, funny objects my beloved-

#chiho (oc) #soseiji (oc) #mekami (oc) #i really need to go back and edit ayeno's design actually #since every touhou tsukumogami i can think of has the Object that they are in their design somewhere and she just doesn't- #...and i think she's the only one i haven't done that with? i think? #imma have to check lol #anyways :] no i will not stop lol #i have 2 whole fangame plots in my head now im deranged kjbvhcv #shook doodles #also also also i will talk about mekami more in her post but. she is ENTIRELY based on a pun(?) and her name is also a pun and- #IM REALLY HAPPY WITH THE CONCEPT OF HER IT WORKS REALLY WELL JKSKSFU- #ok but that's for later lmao-

more touhou ocs-

they do have names now (Ayeno Neon and Gakami Haneyoru respectively)

#ayeno (oc) #gakami (oc) #ofc i made a highlighter touhou i think that's 100% on brand for me #she'd be friends with noto if they got to exist in the same universe #....actually. i've never posted any noto here huh. strange- #maybe some other day lol #shook doodles #anyways to essay hell i go! again!

What is Ayeno Neon like? Just in general?

There isn't much to Ayeno, seeing as she's a incidental stage 1 boss who is wholly unrelated to the plot, but the general gist is that she's a tsukumogami of a highlighter that only recently arrived in gensokyo, and is currently grappling with the fact that almost no one there actually knows what a highlighter IS. as such, she's made it her personal mission to 'spread the good word of highlighters', so to speak. Which could end up getting her into trouble for real this time, but... That's to be seen i guess lol-

but yeah, she just. funny highlighter :]
