Artist's commentary
Touhou Project : Tengu
Took a break from working out some things, decided to paint this. When it came to the background I decided to go for a deeper, darker colour instead of a lighter one which would be my usual choice. I'm not really happy with the wings and I realize I need a lot of practice with it. The handle of Momiji's blade is off, I only realized this as I was painting it. A shameful oversight (>_<) I enjoyed doing Aya's back, painting the muscles was fun. I went overboard initially, it was rather sculpted! I was wondering if I wanted to add tattoos to it but decided not to after all.
The cloth was quite fun to do, but in all honesty I'm sure the lighting of it is wrong (笑)
Overall, a pretty satisfying picture.
