i don't know the answer, although i find it highly unlikely he has. thanks for the picture.

Do not ever undestimate ZUN's genius.

He made his artwork sucky on purpose so that hordes of fanartists will greatly improve on his characters designs, propagate them as doujins and increase the popularity of his touhou games.

>>1817259
He's the mastermind...

THE ONE BEHIND C75'S COUP D'ETAT!

>Protip: Beer kills braincells.

His later character designs appeal to me less both stylistically and conceptually than the earlier ones, but his greatest compositions (or at least the ones I feel are his best) are mostly from the later games. Boggles the mind, really.

>>1817249
Uh... I'll post some reference pictures.

>>1817263
What's this about C75?

>>1817284
A little less than a 1/3rd of C75's slots are Touhou related.

But PoFV and IN put EoSD to shame.

Also in before HURR Sakuya and China and Remilia doing that fucking thing with her hands.

>>1817259
I think that was more a side effect rather than being intentional.

>>1817298
Just how many slots are there, total?

>>1817311
It varies with each character, I guess. Like Reimu's portrait here is actually pretty good (for ZUN) and even has a little bit of perspective.

This one though, is pretty terrible. Of course, Sayuka's portraits by ZUN have been bad in each game I've played.

come to think of it, while i feel the character portraits (character select, bosses) have gotten worse (i.e. faces look more deformed than usual) over time, particularly in MoF, his ending sketches have stayed about the same.

I've got bad news for you buddy.

>>1817380
I'm pretty sure he does the ending sketches in every game except PoFV and the fighters.

>>1817364
Come to think of it, the ending sketches do look much superior to the portraits. Perhaps it's because of the filters or something?

I don't give a damn about the art style.

It's just that the new Reimu/Marisa's bomb has a little AOE, and the new 'continue/retry' was very annoying.

Personally, I think MoF has the shittiest art by far, but also has some of the greatest music of the entire series.

>He made his artwork sucky on purpose so that hordes of fanartists will greatly improve on his characters designs, propagate them as doujins and increase the popularity of his touhou games.

So what you are saying is that ZUN will hire an actual artist to do outstanding portraits for Touhou 12, to let Touhou's popularity die down?

The ending sketches look superior because ZUN art tends to look crappy when he colors them. Endings are just line-out with a few brush strokes under them.
