    AWA Touhou Scroll Project

    Well this has been a long ride but we finally completed this grand scale collaboration project. What you see before you is the final product of the scroll project which I had lead! As of September 28th, 2013 this scroll was presented to ZUN and given to him as a gift at the AWA convention to welcome him to the United States and to thank him for the 10 + years of hard work he has put into the Windows series of Touhou.

    The scroll itself covers from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and goes all the way to Double Dealing Character.

    The project was proposed back in March and work began in the first of April. On late August, the layout was completed. The construction and mounting of the scroll was soon completed early September.

    Overall a total of 70 artists volunteered into this project contributing to works on both characters and backgrounds. Here's a list of everyone who contributed:

    I once again have to say like I mentioned in my blog. I am very happy that I was able to unite this many people together to put together this scroll. As I couldn't have done it without the help of everyone who joined. I spent a great a deal of time hutning down artists and convincing them to join this project and after many long months I have managed to pull it all off. And thanks to everyone's help we were able to give ZUN a thank you gift he will forever remember from his visit here in the US.

    Once again thank you to all that help. Because of this, you all made it possible and showed the power of the Touhou fanbase when it is united and able to put together in a massive collaboration project for the creator of the series.

    Because of this he is now aware how far Touhou stretches outside of Japan's borders now. And he was amazed to know he had so many fans. May the future of Touhou be bright as we continue to see the world of Gensokyo grow!

    I feel bad that I promised myself that I would contribute to this.. yet I never did and I hate myself for it. Ah well, it it happens again, I can contribute, if not. Well I know that ZUN liked the scroll and that's good enough for a fellow Touhou fan like me.

    He says as long as artists obey the R-18 laws, it's alright.

    And what are those laws? Because form the looks of all the doujins I've seen, they tend to do everything imaginable to these characters. Sometimes i wonder if half the porn doujins are even legal?

    I hope this scroll reminded ZUN that there are many characters deserving at least another in-game appearance before they are completely lost into oblivion (Rumia, Flandre, Letty, Chen, Ran and most people from IN cast for example).

    I hope he brings back the pc-98 characters too! That'd be amazing.

    I wonder if Zun is okay with people making pornographic material with his characters?

    He's not.

    He's said before he doesn't like it, nor the fact that the doujin community is so filled with porn in general. He just knows how the internet works and that there's not much he can do about it.

    Which is exactly why it would have been great if the artists present on this scroll were artists that don't do R-18. In my opinion, at least... or at least, stuff that's a little more tasteful than Ragathol's works..

    I don't think there is anything wrong with people using their talent to do what they want. To be able to draw R-18 is alot harder then just...well, drawing. I'm sure it also takes a bit of courage to actually do it, since its probably not that easy going around showing people your new "art" offline. For me, being able to make (good) R-18 images is the high level of being an artist.
    Also note that not everybody can make good R-18. We can see millions of those poorly drawn shitting dick-tit images over at Pixiv and rather then contributing it's just fucking disgusting (although I guess there are people who might disagree but I digress).

    Besides; opinions, opinions. We all have artists we despise I hate giselebon with a passion because his works piss me off and make me sick but I don't think it would be right to say they shouldn't be or do something.

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I understand what you're saying, and I believe that artists are allowed to draw what they want; it's just that, personally, knowing how ZUN has stated his dislike for all the R-18 done about Touhou before, it comes off to me as a bit of a slap in the fact that they would have artists such as the one I mentioned to work on this. I may have expressed myself poorly in my initial comment, but there are a few artists I've seen that draw exquisite artistic nude pictures (looking at you, ke-ta), which is the kind of things I was referring to when I mentioned the more "tasteful" stuff, as opposed to.. well, you get the point.
    But hey, that's just how /I/ see it! Thank you for your reply.

    Do the bowl, mirror, drum, and other instruments behind the DDC demo characters represent Sukuna, Seija (mirrors basically flip things in the same image), Raiko, and the other Tsukumogamis? Or is that just an insane coincidence?

    The former.

    There wasn't enough time between the release of DDC and Zun's trip to Atlanta for the artists to draw them properly, so symbolic stand-ins were used.
