While I was organizing and archiving stuff on my HDD, I completely forgot I had this sitting somewhere in my hard drive. Have a Miku.

So I haven’t really done anything concerning Touhou in a while. Just the occasional declaration that I’m a touhou fag. But this time you’re getting actual content!

Click the link to view a Mokou, being our favorite Mokou like usual.

Oh yeah. Uh huh.
Maybe I should practice shading more.

Vocaloid Is Consuming Me…

It wasn’t really until a friend of mine explained most of Vocaloid to me that I got into it. Occasionally I’d hear the tunes, nod my head in tempo, then move onto more music. But I didn’t realize the amount and derth of images drawn by Japanese artists, most of them from Pixiv. Pixiv is less of an image repository and more of a place for artists to post their work. I guess I’d say it’s their equivalent to Deviantart. In any case, I had a strong urge to try my hand at drawing Miku.

I didn’t feel like spending an entire day drawing it, so I spent only a couple of hours doing this sketch.

Some other artists seem to take a little artistic freedom drawing Miku’s accessory itamz. Working from memory, I think I did okay. Please point out any errors and criticisms – it would be nice to actually get better. Because art is hard.
