Artist's commentary
東方Project:アリス
So I was thinking of what I wanted to say about this picture and I guess all I can say is that it didn't really turn out how I initially wanted it to be. The shapes and all are there, but the design of Shanghai changed from what I thought they'd look like. The same went with the weapons. I think the problem was that I spent too much time with them in the picture that I grew terribly tired of this and wanted to be done with it.
Originally I was thinking I'd put more patterns and the like for the background, but I couldn't really think of what to do after the patterns, so the flower pattern was added. I'm not quite sure if I like it at this point, but I've merged the layers and I'm done with this picture. I think I will redo it at some point in the future but with lines.
